The things we do for weed
Hi GWE easy community,
In these dark times I think we all need a bit of humour. I just wanted to share with you my first attempt at growing weed. Back in the late 70's I was living with my girlfriend now wife in a garden flat in a small block. I had some bag seed and I thought why not give it a try? I knew nothing about growing (still don't really) and without the Internet there was virtually zero information that I could find. I just planted a couple of seeds in a large pot and put it in the corner of our living room. They soon germinated and began to grow. After a while I had two monsters getting on for 5 feet tall sitting in my living room. They just kept on growing and growing eventually reaching around 6ft. Knowing what I know now they were in permanent veg as they were getting nowhere near the amount of dark that they needed to start flowering. This is where things began to get tricky. When we had visits from non stoner folks - relatives etc, I had to get the plants out of site. So every time we had visitors I had to grab the plant and run down the garden and hide them in the shed. It never occurred to me at the time that my neighbours could see all this happening and were thinking to themselves "oh Pete's got visitors again and he's hiding his cannabis plants from them" Anyway eventually I thought this has to stop and I cut them down and hung them up in the closet to dry. Of course they had no flowers so I was never going to get any bud. Once they were dry I cut all the leaves off and ground them up in a blender and finished up with a jiffy bag of green powder. I rolled a couple of joints with it but it did very little other than giving me a splitting headache. So here we are 50ish years later and I'm just about to enjoy my first successful grow of Northern Lights Auto. It may take me a while but I get things right eventually
Stay healthy folks
