How I got started growing

Once long ago in high school me & my buddies would go out to the parking lot to my car & roll fattys & get high. I would clean the weed in the front seat of my car & chuck the seeds over my shoulder into the back seat. One time I left my windows down & it poured rain all nite. I got up & found 3" of water in my fl boards. 4 days later my car was smelling ranker than a homeless mans unders, I looked into my back seat & there was 3 little sproutlings coming right outa the carpet. I thought how cool is this, weed growing in my car..So I went to the hardware store & bought a spot light, 4000 candle lite. With two batteries that last up to 4 hours. In the moring before school I would set the light on its side 1" away from my babies, come out at lunch, & change batteries then in the evening turn it off & cover with a pc. of 2x4 cardboard. This went on for two weeks. I would foiler feed with Peters Special & they loved it. Bushy & very green. Then the next..............Not really, but I did have fun telling this lie. Happy Memorial day R.I.U.

you bastard. i was reading along expecting some delightful anecdote about how you caught the bug.

but since you got me all nostalgic i'll toss in my story about the first plants i ever grew.

i was 16 and spent a bit too much time on overgrow and decided to pop some seeds in solo cups on a nice south facing window sill in an empty apartment in the building my mom owned. only one came up, and i left that bastard on the sill from april until the beginning of october. i also ended up with another plant that my friend's idiot cousin started in november and then gave to me because of the smell. i would go up about twice a week to water/feed and spritz them with water, transplant, whatever. a few times i went too long and they looked fucking dead but they always perked back up after getting watered.

i ended up with almost 2 oz. of not so bad smoke that was improperly dried and uncured and tasted like hay. but i got stoned and i was a boss. and i learned some shit about the plant.

i'd love to give a sill grow a whirl knowing what i know now but my cat would destroy it. never underestimate the power of a southern facing window in the summer. bonus was that the screen obscured the view of the plant from the street.
