Just moved back to our home town after 25 years so I wouldn't even know where to start looking.

Heck, hadn't even smoked any in almost that long.

An old friend came to town and got us going again. He also contributed some bagseeds along with some killer smoke. I'll tell ya, after being dry for over two decades, that shit kicked my ass. Not the $10/4 finger bags I was used to way back when.

I digress. The wife and I have each stopped taking a prescription or two since starting up again and, for me, it's helping offset some of the effects of the chemo.

I love hearing about people that are helped by marijuana. I don't know why but it just seems .. right. Congradulations on ditching the prescriptions

Because I like having a whole spice rack full of different types of bud. Seriously, who uses those things anyway? You get one as a housewarming gift, and then somehow the next person you know who moves gets the same one... from you... ; )
You just gotta change the labels from 'cinnamon', 'basil', etc to 'Purple Goober Dro Yo' and 'Donkey Dick Sugar Cane' and all that good stuff, and hope that the in-laws don't try to make a ratatouille at your house. Because no one likes a Donkey Dick in his ratatouille.

Sorry if im being nosy or invasive, growing may be a personal topic for some. If you feel like sharing, I was just wondering what motivated you to grow?

-$50/eighth of anything quality
-Having to mess with assholes
-Dry spells
-My Norwegian heritage says grow it like your ancestors did

Hey foxysox......NICE RACK!

Have a good grow!:jointsmile:

[dobiepaq]

threw seeds off of porch & magically they appeared....
thought I could do it again(lost first grow to flood)...
now I'm obsessed with growing MJ due to the fact that I'm tired of getting ripped off buying trash....
I want to try some good smoke....
i don't trust any one...
the pure satisfaction of doing it myself ( w/God's help)

I currently have 3 Arjans haze, 3 skunk x haze, 2 Super Silver haze, 1 White Rhino & 2 ??(bag seeds) these are all females(lucky I am):thumbsup:

my question is...does anybody know anyone that has ever stopped growing? Its the growing thats addictive, not the herb:thumbsup:

true words...my live in girlfriend and I have an understanding. That for the rest of my life, as long as im free to do so...i will grow my own herb! why? :

1. i find the reverence for the plant, and find its complexities amazing.(reason to grow not smoke)
2. i find it therapeutic (medically and mentally)for several reasons.
3. I find it to be benign to my health
4. i believe its my god given right to do so
5. i believe its my constitutional right to do so
6. its a fun hobby where you get to see life at its best
7. because i no longer have to hustle to break even..... ie. MONEY! i was sorry to hear some people put this first!

I am doing this for the fun of it and to some extent for the hell of it. A smaller but still pleasant part is that I get super quality cheap weed from it. Actually that is why, in that order, I grow cb. I grow more than I will ever smoke and I have no plan to sell. I enjoy taking care of every branch and leave. To sit with a book an hour in my flowering room and to have something NOONE, not even one person, around me knows I have. If it was tomatoes I would not spare a minute on this hobby. With cb I love it. Strange?

Now, I suspect I don't represent the majority of growers in that respect but it would be interesting still to hear what drives people.

I can easilly get 5-7 ounces/month out of my small operation and I smoke maybe 1.5/month. Easy way would be to just cut down on the number of plants etc but I can't do that. I am going the other way and have a 25 plant cloner and bubblers for my flowering plants on their way here.
Stupid?
Indeed it is. I am growing stuff that can give me jailtime for no apparent reason, lol. It is really fun to perfect things and work out ways to get around problems and generally just become better at this over time. I also run insanelly detailed registers of EVERYTHING I do day by day to the grow. Watering, when, how much, with what nutes. Temp, humidity, light range from plants. Daily general notes and plant by plant notes if something special happened to a plant. I do this in a grow diary I put together in Excel and it takes care of naming systems for every plant, history of every plant in the past, background of every clone and plant back to the original seed etc etc.

My goal in the long run is to become a very good CB grower with good instincts. I would love to breed or grow on a large scale as well but I don't have the space for it so I do what I can with my small areas. Will keep a constant 8 plants in flower fed from 3 mothers of different strains. I am in the process of building up my second strain as we speak and will add the third next month. Hindu Kush, White Whidow an last will probably be Strawberry Cough.

So what drives you guys and are there anyone like me out there?
