growers age

I also was asked for i.d. in my forties, proudly I held out my d.L., the old bat missed it onna first grab at it, got it on the second try then held it up about an inch from her nose to see it. Yup blind as a bat. Kinda popped my little ego bubble. Sigh.
 
65 here as of 12-22-2019. Remember selling 3 finger 3/4 oz bags for $10 throughout "High" school. Mexican dirt weed. Made use laugh at everything. And all it had was possibly 3 percent THC.
 
Hi Oldjarhead100. Interesting question and it makes me wonder why you thought that. To answer your question I am 63. It is nice to be in a forum that has a variety of 'ages' represented. I enjoy being around younger people but there is also something special about people about 10 years older and younger than myself. People our age have seen a lot of changes societally and technologically. We may have tried growing plants from the seeds in our weed which for many of us was probably a low grade product from Mexico. As for online shopping it was a catalogue that came in the mail, you filled out an order form, had your parents write a check and mailed it in. Then you waited for your order to arrive in 3 - 6 weeks. We probably learned to use a slide rule and remember when you had to be rich to have a color TV.
 
You know they done all those studies where the used rats wrapped in bacon and it gave them cancer,, I never intended to wear my bacon!
 
Here in the late 70's early we had fine weed with nice seed from all over the world, certainly had the laugh your ass off Mexican too! After the first couple of years buying I was planting, made some fine weed!
 
My mind still thinks I'm 21 but my body Just won't get on board.
1977 homegrown $10 an ounce nothing but leef. Mexican $20 an ounce. Colombian gold[Seedy sweet tasting], Colombian redbud, occasionally Panama Red 30 to $35 an ounce.
My first lessons in growing #1 no partners! #2 no matter how pretty and how bad you want to show it off, Or admit that you grew it, don't!.
Once run across an oz of Lebanese blond hash[$100] everyone at my high school was happy for a week.
 
Well Organic I have noticed by what others have said online that most of us are in the older category we seem to understand each others health issues that are associated with age .so I just thought I would find out , as far as the forum goes i think its a fantastic forum , there is not much I do everyday but I sign on here everyday,if only to see what others are doing
 
Since I am only 24, I am amazed to find growers from such an experienced age. It really did surprise me.
Organic357 I always wonder what life would be like for the previous generations. Today there is Prime now and Netflix and Uber and Maps. How analogous and manual life was then.
 
herbgrower. I was not surprised at all by the median age of the group here. I am supprised that you are supprised lol. I am willing to wager that most if not all good weed grown in a quantity that was available for "retail" sales had an old head somewhere in the mix. (Not trying to come off as aggressive. I just proof read that and it seems a little rude but I promise those are not my intentions. I just can't think of a better way to word it.)
 
We're 63, 67 and 70 here - we remember buying dime bags with 2 fingers of mostly stems and seeds... But now we've graduated to growing our own or buying at a dispensary - we prefer growing. :) We've been involved in outdoor in pots, in a greenhouse situation. Now we've started a smaller bunch in a grow tent in the garage. I'm thinking of journaling the process because of our lack of memory, due to age and smoking marijuana. Think should repel the bugs we've encountered before. Anyway, good to be here and look forward to learning more...

I'm glad to see, and read an older growing body of knowledge here.
