Suppose I should ...

... Say hello, having been here for a few months now. Hello! I'm getting old and my body's falling apart, but with the help of my home grown and a large pile of pills every day I get along just fine. Just got a small wardrobe to grow in, about two square foot with five foot of headroom. Not a lot, but with a 250 HID I get around seven to eight ounces every ten to twelve weeks, which more or less gets me by.
Could do without the paranoia, mind.
You might recognise my style of posting, I have been a member of certain large UK cannabis forum since for ever ago. Even Modded for a lengthy stint, but health and what-have-you led to me laying that little chore aside.

Hello..Man you sound like me...I start my day with several diff pills and a joint...would love to grow more but haven,t got the energy to do a lot...I get by with what I can grow....
I still love evry day that I wake up but it isn,t like it used to be when I was thirty yrs younger,,,,,,,,but any day above ground is always a good day..
Good luck to you man,
jarff

You're not wrong, jarff - life just aint quite what it was thirty years ago! Hope you have a good day today.

Off 4 plants, SMOKEY - each in 6.5Litre square pots. I could fit six, but its already crowded!

Whoa! Thanks people, its always nice to be welcomed so heartily. Hope I can contribute a bit here, although I am very busy elsewhere. I am currently growing a UK strain known as "Blues", aka "Livers". I have the original UK cut, plus a seed "Blues" not yet released, which I am testing for the breeders (UGORG). Its my favourite strain. Not the strongest, but has such a wonderful taste and aroma, with a hit that takes me back to my younger days (I'm gently knocking on the door of 60). It is a very "musical", poetic kind of weed; inspirational, and uplifting. Not a couch-lock, more a beach-walker if you know what I mean. The first hit always creates a surge of joy deep within. I find myself reaching for tunes like Carlos Santana and John McGlaughlin's "Love Devotion Surrender" album, and others like it.
Have a good day people, Love one another

IME, just keep your environment properly dialled in, follow a wet/dry watering cycle, don't overfeed and viola, I get ze luvverly buddage!
I do a bit of advising and instructing of folks setting up little medi-grows and the like, and the one thing I find is that folks will over-fuss and over-feed. I've got all on to stop them doing this. The current student is much better calibre, mind; she's a Yorkshire lass and is doin't'job just reet. She'll grow some stonking weed, I'm sure. Grandly!
