I don't seem to be alone when I too grow for a variety of reasons.

Primarily, I'm a tech geek and I love pushing the envelope. I'm in the design/contruction process of my fifth grow box and this one is a totally LED light powered grow box. How good will the results be? I don't care! It's fun.

Also, I am assured the quality of what I grow and I can control the process every step of the way. I can experiment with organics or mystery chemicals (though as I get older I am leaning more towards organics... have you guys tried worm castings yet? They are awsome. I have to buy some more worms!!).

Yeah, and I will shamefully admit that it makes me feel like a bad boy. Yup, that's pretty pathetic. Hey, I'm still building up the nerve to buy an issue of High Times! LOL!!!
