      62. smoked daily in the 1970's. Quit smoking and doing drugs in the early 1980's. Oklahoma went medical marijuana and I started smoking and growing last year. I don't have a green thumb but thx to GWE and this forum I can grow weed! and I ain't braggin' but my home grown gets me just as high as I want to be. I have looked into my crystal ball and see myself growing until...

        52, first grow excluding one outdoor bag seed in college. Needed a hobby when our GSD died earlier this summer. Wife and I started smoking again a couple years ago, dispensary prices are ridiculous so growing for fun and to save a few bucks. Nice to focus on life affirming activity during these shit times.

          I'm 60. Like 90% of us who grew up in the '70s started smoking as a teenager. Been enjoying indoor growing for about 8 years now. So glad I found this site, it's was a huge help getting me going.

                  Good Lord! GWE must stand for Growing Weed & the Elderly. I'm looking at 63 now. Began backyard growing in the early 70's but walked away for many years in the mid 80's when the kids became old enough to understand what was going on. Retired at 55, divorced, sold the home, and began buying and renovating properties. Property values began going through the roof again and buying in that market was a deal ender. Settled into one of my places and was astonished at what my daughter was paying for oils & balms at dispensaries, so I decided to start growing again and learn how to make them for her. Most of my neighbors are aware of my 3rd floor grow, in fact one gave me a forest ranger badge, and another a "Hemp Farmer T-shirt." Many of them are smokers and I offer a lot of samples and in turn they keep a watchful eye on things for me. When this thread is played out it would be interesting to average it out and see where we stand age wise and I'll start working on developing a Geritol Strain we can all share.

                      I'm 64, for a couple more months. Started smoking in the early 70's, never really quit just had to play the UDT timing game with pain management. I started an illegal closet grow 20+ years ago, 13 street seeds, got 12 female plants so I didn't finish but I used some of the stuff from it to start this grow. My state let medical card holders grow up to 5 plants indoors starting January 1st so here I am. I cannot afford dispensary prices, in four years I spent a year's disability income on 'medicine'.
                      Soil: Coast of Maine Stonington Blend, perlite; Seedlings: CoM org potting soil
                      Indoor: 2 x 5.5 x 8' Closet grow
                      Viparspectra XS2000; EnjoYield 220W full spectrum light added during flower
                      Various size fabric grow bags
                      Cal-Mag & GH Trio if needed; Flower Fuel & molasses during bloom; ReCharge
                      4 clip fans. Exhaust into attic is vented to the eaves
                      Current grow: DEAD FLOWERS

                          Suddenly I don’t feel that old 🤟🏻 Rock on fellow growers!
                          Just because people are over 50 doesn’t mean they know everything.
                          You can teach a old dog new tricks - But it will still think the old ways are the “best” lol

                          I was put out to pasture early due to back injuries, been there a while now (since 94), did retrain and held a job even at 90+% disabled until 04, then I took the free money (I'd give it all back to have my back back!). Anyway I am a December 1954 model with many hard miles, been growing in the woods since about 1970, stopped for the laws to change (informant told me to do that as he could no longer give me info). Now I can grow in my yard!
