Hey's and howdy's everyone! Here's some boring personal info:
46 year old single parent father. Mother left the kids and I when they were 2 and 4. Haven't seen or heard from her in over a decade. (slightly entertaining tidbit- Yanno how missing fathers are sometimes referred to as 'sperm donors'? My children refer to their mother as 'the incubator'. LOL! Sorry, but I find that rather amusing given the situation.)
Non grower (I'd like to change that), not a medical user (in good health.....knock on wood).
I would classify myself as an 'expert recreational user'. (been tokin' since the early 80's)
I work for a market research firm coding verbatim's to open ended questions. *HUGE YAWN*
I'm a Haze man. Give me a good Sativa any day.
I care for and raise abandoned baby squirrels as a hobby.
That's enough boring info for now. We'll get to know each other better as we go along.
Later, tater. Peace to you and yours!

Doing my part to help end P.O.B.S. (the Perpetuation Of B.S.) since 1968.
You, too, can help end P.O.B.S.!

I just posted some pics. on the newbie forum. I am a longtime gardener and a first time outdoor grower, looking for all the help I can get. I grew a couple of indoor grows to get started but I am thrilled to be growing outside. Here are a couple of pictures of my garden. I am also growing hops. I am a legal collective grower, growing in soil all organic.2014-08-27 18.16.48.jpg2014-09-02 18.08.21.jpg

Hiya. I'm Quill, 30yo female. I smoked recreationally for almost a decade, but all but stopped a couple years ago to have my sons. I've had a strong interest in growing my own for a while now but only recently found that I had the space and resources, limited as both may be, to do so. I'd like to run a small-scale closet-type grow, hopefully yielding enough for both personal recreational use and to provide a little medical relief to a couple of aging relatives. I'm a complete newbie but I've been doing a ton of research online and I'd like to get started very soon.

Thanks to all those who provide the forum, and those who post first-hand experience and advice here. I've lurked for a while and all your efforts have made it possible for me to eventually put forth my own.

Mississippi boy here. Put a few years in the service so I've been unable to grow smoke etc. Now that I'm a free man I'm looking to soak up some knowledge, learn a few things and get to it. I've read several threads so far and I have to say it's nice to hop on a forum full of adults and not punk ass kids spouting off 24/7 taking away from a good experience. I'm no pro and it's been a while so I appreciate the help ahead of time. Anyone else here from the Sip?

Good Morning All;

I am a 52 yr newbie :P I got legal 3-yrs ago and last year was my first successful growing year. 3-plants survived and looked beautiful, one turned out to be a male. I took it inside to watch it bloom, took pics. I named him Harold :D The acquirement of my seeds is for another story.

In Nov. 2008 I was in a car accident. A drunk driver ran a stop sign and I got the privilege of T-boning him and his vehicle. His truck was bigger than mine, so he won and walked away from the accident and saw no jail time...Yeah NV! lets keep those drunk drivers on the road...

Brain injury, spinal injury and back smooched up...but I survived, and was able to walk...trust me you should have seen my truck, got lucky...I had amnesia for a few years, sooo not fun and scary. I did in 5-yrs what they said should have taken 15 yrs...I'm half Portuguese and stubborn :p I'm not down until I'm dead :mrgreen: LOL

I do not look like the 'Elephant Man' on the outside so no one gets it. I would go back to being who I use to be if I could, to make everyone more comfortable around me, but that ship has sailed. I am closer to being emotional 5 and I lost a good 30 points with my IQ. I don't always understand what is going on or happening, but as long as nice people are around I can muddle through it.

I am a 'Retired' Jack-of-all-trades. I put myself through college twice. I use to be a kindergarten teacher back in No. CA...Loved, Loved Loved it :-) I have owned 4 of my own business in the past, successfully, I owned a Thrift shop (that was to be my retirement business) at the time of the accident ...I use to train dogs (they didn't come out of the package that way LOL (:) and offer FREE parent/puppy/dog lessons as well as socializing gatherings for them.

I have 1 dog, Miss Capri (next mo 7 yrs), 1 pup Miss Jewel (10 mo), 3 cats, siblings, that I rescued 2 1/2 yrs ago (mostly out door cats) and 1.40 acres that I have been cleaning the last 4 yrs I have lived here. I live for hiking and am grateful I still can :P The last time was in June. Took the dogs up to Ash Canyon in CC Capri loves it up there. Broke most of my toes on my left foot that night...total klutz, no gracefulness here LOL...So I'm looking forward to getting back to hiking this month!

My neighbor got me completely into "The Walking Dead". We now have Sunday gatherings and watch it together...I make dessert and salad and we set up 'buffet style'. I made my apple bread yesterday and had vanilla ice cream with it, yummy!

I love to garden out side and am pretty good at it. I was raised growing some of our own food for our table and have re-learned how again (since I hadn't a clue after the accident). I also grow food for the food bank in Minden starting next year.

I was born ADHD and my mother heavy medicated me with lots of pills. Doctors told me I was Manic depressive, bipolar and a boarder line personality disorder...Okay, who doesn't have any of this shit, right, come on LOL :lol: and sever anxiety since the car accident with a lot of paranoid shit when I drive 'non-medicated'. Lets just say, one too many car accidents. So I HATE pills and try to take as few as possible, hence the becoming legal part.

I know I have problems, but I try to look at the good, not always easy, but I remember other's have it much worse off than me and I try to help instead of hindering. I was born with a soul that was kind and helpful, that thought of others first...I've changed a bit since then :fire:

I travel with a 'soap-box' and bring it out whenever I feel the need. I can't stand bullies, rudeness, or lying...never a need to lie...rapist, whether children, women or what have you, and if you abuse your dog I will torture you :mrgreen: as well as take your dog from you! Oh yeah, use your FU*Cing blinker, I'm not a mind reader! :clap: A few other pet peeves, but those are the biggies.

I'm also a story teller so nothing is 'short' when I'm talking LOL and believe it or not, that is the jest of me now :leaf:

PS... I love the movie "Rodger Rabbit' so much that this blond dyed her hair red for almost 20 yrs :P And trust me, Reds have more fun than blonds LOL...went great with my green eyes ;-)
