Moved to Humboldt in 99 and eventually did my own indoor after assisting and learning for a few years. I was 19

I got a copy of Indoor Marijuana Horticulture in 2001 when I was 15 years old, and it's been since slightly before that (thanks Overgrow!) that I wanted to grow my own. I also grew my first psychedelic mushrooms at 14 with some cash from a X-mas gift, lol. Also with the help of a buddy, years ago, we preformed Sandmeyer reaction to produce GHB.

We always wanted to be self-sufficient.

Well, we very seldom had weed! we hade hash, sometimes really good, but a lot bullshit going around. Biggest mistake mas to buy a hekto of hash with fucking plastic in it! For around 800 euros! shit like that made me said, grown your own, and change the scene! So now i have almost only smoked my on herb since I was around 18.

All the cool kids in high school were growing a couple plants (early '70s).

My mom was a master gardener.

Cheers!

Intersesting pattern in the many posts and threads he has made since the recent join. He posts as if so however


I saw seeds in dixies around '75 in a friends older brother's closet. Saw hemp wild once in Minn around '78 on a golf course and smuggled some home in my parents RV. Completely worthless when i got it home. Did not see a real cannabis plant again for more than 35 years until i grew it a few years ago.

I grew it after i decided to self supply my medicine i take for a service related condition. I made that decision to self supply after the colleged aged kid i bought from on the black market turned out also to be a junkie and was getting sketchy. Swore i would not expose myself and by extension my family to an element like this.

Not passing judgement on the guy or anyone reading for that matter. But i stay far away from that or the lifestlye.

My earliest memories as a child were of my parents harvesting the outdoor crop.... everyone around was in a good mood, family and friends were around for weeks trimming.... I always associated the plant with happiness from a very young age.... after a good stint as a Commercial fisherman/diver in a failing industry, commercial cultivation was an easy transition...I'm a 3rd generation farmer, this Shits in my blood....

At 400$ an ounce and an affinity towards the finer things in life it didn't take long after I got my first apartment to start growing my own.

I was 33 with my 2nd kid on the way.construction was still crapped out and the wife lost her job and insurance. I borrowed 1200 b ucks first crop was a mess second crop was a hit, I only grow half the year now, but that's more than enough. I wish I started when the oz was 400 not 200.

Always adored looking at marijuana plant pics in High Times...and always knew I would grow my own one day. The Great Recession made it impossible to find a job after graduating college so I eventually needed to do something. I feel blessed everyday I get to do this.

Started smoking herb at the age of 19 for my scoliosis pain, at that time my best friend said "aren't you a farmer?" I said "yes" so he said "why don't you grow your own?" it was like a light descended from the Firmament, and I was enlightened. I'm 25 now.
