Started in 87 when I got out of High School. It took two seasons of less then stellar production for me to research my new found hobby. High Times was a great reference back then and every book you could find on the subject was like a bible. Anyway I learnt about ph and proper nutes and things took off.

I continued for about 6 more seasons giving it up in 96', had just gotten married and had a baby on the way. I took the next 12 years off, raising kids and being the good worker Hubby.

Then we moved to where I live now about 8 years ago and I could not resist taking up my old craft. The area is great with miles and miles of woods, mountain streams and a good sized river. There are many places where grapevine has taken over and few if any large trees stand. There is a small (1200ft.) mountain with a southerly slope to take advantage of as well. Plentiful supplies of water, sun and privacy, what more could a farmer ask for.

Year one back on the growers wagon was a disaster. I had over 50 plants doing great and just starting to flower. I had all the plants in a large spot and they got nailed in early August. It wasn't deer or rabbits or even some poacher it was the bad guy. Since then it's been one plant at a time no closer that 10 yrd to the next in any direction. No more bad guys getting my stuff anymore.
