Hi Everyone!:-?

Another over 50 checks things out. Guess I'm one of those ironic folks. Did time for weed before a lot of you were born and now don't even have a decent connection. Most I knew from back when are either long since out of things or dead.

On the bright side, I used to grow indoors in the 70s. Back then I had a closet rigged with four fluorescent grow bulbs, supplemented with incandescent floods and a fan. Had pretty good luck for starting from what the kids now deride as "bag seed" and not knowing anything about breeding, let alone genetics.

Thinking about an updated closet now, thirty years down the road. Mostly I come to browse and see what the young whippersnappers are up to.
 
Righteous to see you here man. Hope you learn, much and sorry to hear about doing time. The "bagseed" you had back in the day I have been told was pretty killer, ever had okopoko gold? Not positive how to spell it..

Hi VV...
This is a splendid idea!!!!
Maybe a forum?.....I think that there are enough of us geezers on riu to support it??
The weird thing is that I enjoy growing more now than ever before!!!
I can not think of a better hobby to enjoy in retirement!
 
I'm hearin ya. This is happening so much now that they are saying the price of high grades of MJ will be coming down. I guess we figure might as well be comfortable. Its kinda like ol Willy says, 'I'm 70 yers old, I don't think anyone should tell me what I can put in my body'. VV
 
weed today much much stronger with all the new technology we have and better lighting i think what do i know im only 27 i need some weeeeeeeed cant sleep
 
I like the idea of the oldtimers stoner club...let's do it! the penalty for whippersnappers entering the club is they have to give us lal their weed!.....hahahahahaha
 
hahahahaha me too...I'm coming up to my fiftieth.....in April..hence my idea to take off to Australia for a month! hahahahaha
 
I'm not going to be 50 but congrats to you...any big parties for the occassion. No offense but I like the older crowd, wisdom is something I lack so I will gladly ask my elders for advice and now that I know who you guys are I'm set. It's nice to see different ages on this board, shows that this hobby is loved by all, men and women, old and young, american, british, dutch, canadian, etc. It's cool.
 
yup...the idea I had was to invite any an all to a local park down by the river and have a huge day of fun and BBQ'ing....children, grandchildren, grandparents...and everyone!....it should be a blast....but I might do that when the weather would be nicer....especially since I am seriously thinking about this trip ot Australia for the month of April....guess we'll seee what I can make happen....:mrgreen:

ROFL

Panama Red, acapulco gold, oaxaca mexican, Columbian, Thai stick, Northern Lights, Puna Butter

That was real weed. True gagger. The shit that expanded when it hit your lungs.

Todays weed is deff less potent. Growers are forced to select the earliest plant that shows potential and go from there. Personally, I'd take weed from any of those places over 99.9% of the indoor stuff.

But that is my opinion and I might be wrong, but I dont' think so :)
 
hahahaha...goon my man...totally on board with you there....did read that paper "seedless marijuana - the hoax" I frickin' love it....

Indeed, but my dancing legs aren't what they used to be.:cry:

I recall the Aurora Borealis with moonlight seen after five hits of blotter. I had to ask the next day whether it was really the Northern Lights or the to be expected effects. Then Dad (God rest his soul) made me mow the lawn the morning after the night before. I recall it seemed difficult operating a large lawn mowing device still stoned to the gills, but such were the wages of sin or enlightenment or whatever it was. Ah, the bad old days.
