What does a MJ grower look like.....

[Trying-to-blend]

Invariably there's always some loudmouth going off about some nonsense at unnecessary volumes. They'll say something real cool like: "How about them tomatoes? Bet you could grow some GREAT TOMATOES...." with the obligatory sinister and "knowing" cackle.

I take offense to that... i actually DO grow tomatoes and herbs and anything else i can get to give me food, haha.

It actually helps disguise the real crops ;-)

This is how the guy at the Hydro store explained things to me..

He showed me all the nutes and told me how they all grow great big Tomatoes.

Then we came a crossed the Advanced Nutrients line. He points to the rest of the stuff and says "all that stuff is tested on tomatoes" and then he points to the AN and says, "these guys do not test on tomatoes." Haha!

I'd like to see how that goes down...

"Security be advised, we have a customer buying perlite at cashier 4. Potential narcotic grower"

"What other items is the suspect buying?"

"A 5 pack of lighters, 2 energy drinks, an AbbaZabba candy bar, and the new Harold and Kumar DVD"

"Call the DEA, we've got a live one.."

One time when I was 15 or so I was chillin at a buddies house.. He always had the chronic and let all of us kids kick it, taught us a bunch of stuff. Late one night no joke a grandma comes in and we were all sketched out like, what??? She took the biggest bong rips I've ever seen anyone take in their life, must of been at least 75 years old.

Anyone and everyone.

My policy is to groom and dress in a similar manner to the county sheriff. Leo believes words coming out of that image. Leo does not think folks who look like that break the law. Leo knows long hairs break the law, easy pickings. Wod is on full here.

This threads pretty funny. I don't know why but I seem to attract all sorts of unwanted attention, no matter what I'm wearing or how I try to project my image. So I just kind of gave up cause it's always like people know how I am by just being around me. Seriously, I can rock some khakis, docs and a polo and I still get people asking if I know where they can score a bag. So I quit that job and I quit that shit too cause it ain't my style... Guess I'll always look like a hood or some shit, I don't know.

I'd have to say there are some rather unsubtle people movin' and shakin around the grow shops.....it's typically not some "Leave it to Beaver" looking dad strolling around the aisles. It's EXACTLY what you'd expect.....people that look like they're stumbing out of a Dead show after having been dosed one too many times....searching in vain for their VW van. It's also the gangster wanna-be yo-yo-pop-a-cap-in-your-ass hood monkey guidos that try to keep a "low profile" (yeah right.....like an Ebb & Flow table is gonna fit in your IROC). Then there's always the old post-yuppie pseudo-intelligencia retired hippy that thinks nobody on the earth could possibly peg THEM as a grower....

Ooofah...going to those places is a necessary evil....but I don't have to like it.

,,,,,usually i see people come in looking pretty normal. get what they need. pay in cash and get out. usually without exchanging nothing more than the varied hello and good bye....

sounds like you got the high times crowd coming into your shop.....

Pro-mix sucks. Try coco coir. It doesn't leave roots encased in a brick at the end of a grow. It absorbs rather than repels water when dry. Oh not to mention that it's a renewable resource if you're one of those environmentally aware sort of people.

what does a grower look like?
hmmm...
well, what does your neighbor look like?

 

[cellardweller]

hahaha..my point was a grower could look like no-one in particular..

Hello all,

When I go to my local grow shop, I just roll on in, get what I want, pay with a debtit card and leave.

Cause I don't give a phuque whos looking or why. If the law wants to bust me for my megger 250w grow by association with the grow shop then they will no matter what I look like or how I pay. But I am on no one's radar so I can have a relaxed attitude.

PS, I look like anyone else....well, except better.

 

[NOKUY]

the GS i used to frequent was usually empty...since i piked the early early saturday just open hour to go.

but times when peeps were there (this was w.colfax colorado)...and across the street from arvada cop shop.

...mostly yuppie lookin denver central gay folk, and some mtn hippies...and sum college kids.

....about what u should expect i guess.

good place to get gear tho.

no one growin veggies.

...and no one talkin about it.

no one ever said shit about what u grow, and

 

[GrüneErd]

agh i SEVERELY dislike when the kid at the local nursery says with that knowing smile "let me know how it turns out man!" when i get my soils in the winter.
especially because i now have to try and get a job there for my degree...no joke.
time to let him know how it turned out!

ha YEAH RIGHT, and anyone says anything to me about bud when i'm buying my supplies i just smoothly skip over what they said and continue a conversation.

everyone that works in a garden supply place knows who grows what, no one's fooling anybody, just don't talk about it.
peace

I always pick up some ONA gel while I'm at the store.. suppose that gives it away.

Shit, go ahead and get a straw hat, throw on a pair of overalls and carry a garden hoe in with you. Just a good ol farmer lookin for some dirt.

If you go to a grow shop, they know what's up, just get your shit and leave. But if you go to a regular store like walmart be prepared for the big question "What ya growing?". I hate to lie to anyone, but I am damn good at it when it comes right down to it. First time I was asked I was caught off guard, but I hit em like this

"What ya growing?" with a skeptical look.
"Chili peppers!"
"Chili peppers?"
"Yup, my father is an award winning chili chef from Saint Louis, me and him make the best damn chili around. But one of our secrets is that we grow the chili peppers ourselves."
"Really?"
"That's right, believe me, you can taste the difference. And it's a lot easier for your recipe to keep it's consistency."

I smiled like a bible salesman and she bought it, I could tell what was initially on her mind, but she was completely thrown off.

 

[ganjalove]

i look like some college kid that you would never think smoked and certainly not grew even though i am legit that is the way i like it. Nokuy that is the shop i frequent and there is always a mixed crowd from the older hippies to the average joe over all a good GS.
