Gotcha...I cant stand bad people! Nice post man.

I grow as a hobby. it's fun, and i enjoy getting better at something, no matter what it is. I'm a very determined person and enjoy figuring things out until I improve. I can't smoke anything but I sell what I grow to friends, and they say the quality is improving. Which means My techniques are improving, and I owe it all to RIU. thnx

Bravo!
I wish I could be sampling every one of your crops. I'd be so interested to see the improvements and quality of each new crop. Good show. Keep up the good work and keep me updated on your grows. Thanks for sharing!

A lot of the same reasons other people have. I don't really have a lot of money to spend on weed. The last time I DID have enough to buy myself a 1/4 bag, it took me forever to score some. I don't know any dealers personally, so I had to go through friends and family who may have been able to get me some. And around that time the supply around here seemed to have been engulfed by a black hole.

When I finally did score some, I realized a) I won't be able to afford this very often right now. And b) when I *CAN*, I could end up going through this same clusterfuck of trying to get my hands on some. So, I looked into seeing what it might take to grow some, seemed like something I could try my hand at, and I planted my bag seed.

Do I expect to get something on par with an experienced grower who uses top-of-the-line equipment and starts from only the best seed or clones? No, but I'm having fun with this, and the pot will be just for me, or I'll tell my friends "I've got some weed, let's get baked!" (but not telling them HOW I acquired it).

And if the day finally comes where it's made legal, I'll probably still grow, but I can be more open about it then.

I remember when it was tough to find weed. There was a bust on some indoor a little while back that left my area dry no KB or Dro to be found...it was a sad sad time

bump 4 more...???

when i was like 16 or 17 me and a buddy of mine always would say "oh yeah when we move out were going to grow..." blah blah blah so it was always in the back of my head but i never knew what it took. hell to be honest back then i didnt even know what part of the plant i was really smoking.

but the real reason i grow is...

about last july or august i decided i wanted to deal a little. cuz i was tired of dealing with shitty dealers. so after work one day i went to go pick up a quarter from this kid my friends have done business with. little did i know they only bought a 1/8. later i found out he rips people off who buy quarters from him. he takes them to the back room hold a gun to their head and says give me the money or ill shoot you.

anyway i drove a good 1 hour out of my way with my gf to this shady spot where we wait for him for another 30 minutes. then he gets in the car and we drive him to this house. he asked if i wanted to come in but my gf didnt wanna be left alone. so for some unknown reason i gave him my money and he said hed be back witht he weed. (idiot mistake i know!!!) i ended up waiting another 1 and a half hours... calling him and getting pissed. i end up leaving PISSED off at him and myself for being so stupid. and on that drive home i said "fuck this im going to grow my own" and the next day i started reasearching and i grew a couple of bag seeds. one thing led to another and i just kept learning the basics and getting equipment as i moved along.

so now here i am 10 months later with a pretty good understanding of how to grow weed vegging my little 2 day old seedling waiting for it to get older so i can do my first outdoor grow!

thats my story.

thanks to bad dealers i grow pot.

but the reasons i keep growing pot are different.

i know what you mean! growing weed is fun. the best part is if you do it right oz's just pop up out of no where. its great.

not everyone agrees though. my friend thinks its a waste of money. i think its a great lifelong talent.

the reason i had to jump through hoops to get weed is cuz out of my friends im the only one who smokes. so i have to find my own connects. ive got way better ones now though. they have no intention on killing me for 100 bucks lol
