Who's over 60 and growing still?

Hit it last Friday!
Threatened to do this thread...Making good on it!

Lets talk old school and in the day...Plus whats got your attention now (as far as strains coming out today).

Welcome to the Old Farts thread!

Happy Belated Birthday Doc!

I will check back and post in 10 years and a couple months. I’m still a youngin’.

Are we supposed to go by what the date is on our birth certificate or how our back felt rolling out of bed this morning???

I just went from 52 to 75...

Happy Birthday Doc!! I'm 62. Indoor growing for 32 years or so. My older brother started me on my first high experience with Blond Lebanese hash when I was 11.

Back in the day..........great acid, trippy weed, Thai, Colombo, Black Vietnamese from older friends, good times.
There was a cure for most stds but never got one myself. Best music that was ever made and will stand the test of time was in our day.

What interests me now is vert growing, which I learned here at RIU from the vert forum, lol. And quantum boards.
Also interested in why (some) cannabis with less thc can get you feeling better than higher thc strains that have been bred to death lol.

I know exactly what you're talking about!
It seems like strains are becoming more complex every year.

Got two strains that might be great together?
Rather than create a new hybrid strain, why not just grow both & blend them later?
I do it all the time with new batches of joints.

Today I'll be rolling afgooey + purple doja + skunk.

I’m 55, been smoking forever but growing for only the last two years. I don’t think I could ever stop.

I'm 67. I've been growing for over 30 years and smoking for 50 years. A lid was $15. Lol.

5 old guys, hmm, 65 and looking forward to receiving money, SS, from US Government in July. I have been paying tax for 50 years, but no SS for a paperboy. 1971 and a bag weed from Vietnam 4 fingers, $15. Stopped in 1987. Started using MMJ again 9 years ago when arthritis started kicking my ass. Man that stuff is expensive to use.

Growing in outdoor shed at night in SoCal for almost two years. Upgrade in July to add 20 amps and air conditioning.

My icon picture is hanging in garage behind is 9' harbor surfboard. Sign is legit except peace, absconded with that sign in 1969 in front of western Whitehouse, Nixon, and camp Pendleton marine base and the trestles surf spot.

Im only 48 but already full grown.
Just my tummy and hips are still growing.

Awesome you guys are still doing it though

My B-day is next week...I'm a few years behind you.
I started growing in my teens in the swamps of Florida-it was just a lark back then. Fast forward to 3 years ago and I'm looking for a replacement to all of the opiates I have to take to manage all of the trauma I've done to my body over the last 40 years. MMJ is all I have access to now and I'm grateful that I found it again-gave me a life again.

Old fart here too ...

Time jump back to my Cheech and chong album with the Big Bambu rolling paper insert ,
Actually used the damn thing ..... Now it's collectible .....*face palm .

Listening to Sister Mary Elephant ( make a good strain name LOL ) and laughing like an idiot.

Ah , those DIME BAGS of twigs and rough shake. ........... Good times.
Plus paper tabs of goofy didn't make me see snakes ... No acid trip.

I knew a dude who had a big wooly beard. Thats where he hid his j's

Bell bottoms, concert t-shirts and earth shoes. Fridays were exciting as fuck. Bubble gum and kissing girls at the skating rink. Hiding hickeys from your parents. Budweiser and seedy Mexican. Cold cereal and cartoons on Saturday mornings. A trip to 7-11 for a icee was something special. The marathon bar was epic!!! Jaws was on at theatre for 6 months straight. Cut off jeans, canvas converse and black lights. Monday night football. Howard Cosell, Bruce Lee,Muhammad Ali, The Six Million Dollar Man, Love Boat and Fantasy Island. THE PLANE ! THE PLANE !

Late 50's here, how did you guys make it make it that far??
Is there a AAOPS's (old pot smokers) with benefits and discounts?

We use to pay $210 for a kg. (the extra 10 bucks, really WTF?)
Apparently I haven't outgrown my perceived need to bitch about something.

So yes, still growing.
