OG Group

I hope it's not me lolllll As a retired IT analyst I always try to solve my problems by myself by doing some research... If I can't then I ask for some opinions from the growers here. Most of the time I just complain about my grows how good or how bad it is non ?

Not really experienced enough to be in this group but would like to say that I really enjoy reading the posts by the “old growers group”. I can’t tell you how much information I’ve gained just by reading the posts by that group. The combined experience from this group is staggering, and if you don’t follow their advice you’re just not interested in doing it right. I would like to say “Thank You” to this group for sharing the information they’ve learned. Life is too short to make all mistakes yourself so you have to learn from others. Thanks again to atu, budgal, Farmbuck, bu2b, canuck147, 9finger, Farmall, Mr. Turley, and many others I’m leaving out and a big thank you to Sirius and Nebula.
 
I'm a few days away from my 51st anniversary of hatch day. I remember the illegal scene as far back as 1989. I stopped using in 1993 to get a decent job and raise the family I suddenly found myself about to have. I also quit to get away from some of the folks I had to hang out with to acquire weed. I had everything from brickweed from Mexico to Afghani from OKC to hydro Skunk from Kansas before that - all with stems and seeds included of course. I did try a closet grow ca. 1991. I of course knew nothing about what I was doing and killed it with too much fertilizer.

Today with no danger of piss tests jeopardizing my job I have gotten back into it and have a medical card and a cultivation permit. I started ahead of time in '17 (medical wasn't ratified here until November 2018) with one tent and a DWC tote and a T5 fluorescent panel then quit until I could grow legally after a trip to Colorado for "souvenirs" and a big Purple Haze harvest put me out of the grow business for all of 2019. I found this forum just after renewing my basement grows.

I started growing fem photos only. I learned most of the basics (cloning, LST, even monstercropping) on ILGM's Purple Haze during my first successful grows. I've expanded to four tents now that I'm growing for other patients. Two of those are RDWC setups I am now using for growing out regs for seed stock. I even reproduced the seedy Skunk #1 I used to get in the old days when I was lucky on this last grow. I've only just started messing with autos - primarily for CBD varieties but also to not let seed company freebies go to waste. I am doing autos and probably all my fem photos for the foreseeable future in coco because I like the portability of having plants in individual pots.

I haven't got everything just perfect yet but I'm getting better and trying new things just about every grow. For my latest "learning experience", check out my Project Murcott thread.
 
As I am certainly old enough, I'm too inexperienced to participate in the OG group but I find it is necessary to talk about something that has bothered me for decades. In my formative years, I was a big fan of Robert A Heinlein who wrote in his book 'Friday' that a sick culture shows a complex of symptoms but a dying culture invariably exhibits personal rudeness. Bad manners. A loss of politeness, of gentle manner is more significant than a riot. (Heard of any riots lately?) In the 1700's Edward Gibbons and Edward W. Montague both wrote that the collapse of Rome was due to the loss of civic virtue. The absence of civility is in every nook and cranny. TV, radio, politics, blogs, social networking are all showing this trend. In my youth there was much less of this. Then came TV and all the rest. The word F U C K was simply not heard in polite society. But we kids whispered it...then came the sixties and we shouted it. Eventually it was ok on TV, now it's an everyday word. That's not the worst. I'm telling you kids that I am a little fearful of the future for my children. My parents probably felt this way too. Can it be changed? Should it?
 
BU2B, Thanks for your reply on a Sunday, sir. It is a sobering subject and I don't want to hijack your thoughtful thread but when I see disrespect coming from people who ask for help and hate the answer, I feel obligated to try to be that voice crying out in the wilderness for folk to wake up and look at what we are becoming. I would love to discuss more but this is not my thread. Anyone who likes may
PM me. Believe it or not I am an optimist as well but some things need to be said, thanks
 
I don't know what the details are but this much I do know; Wookiefoot was right "If love is not the answer, then we just asked the wrong question."
Personally, I think we've got thousands of years of belief systems* which have purported that the stairway to heaven is lined with the bodies of those who oppose us, and whose final goal has been the destruction of everyone and everything unlike one's self. I truly believe that belief system permeates to the very core of our societies, add in technology over the last 75 years which allows us to select the truth we find convenient and the boulder becomes much more unyielding. Not always overwhelmingly but so far, reason, common sense, compassion and yes (dare I say it,) love; has come out on top. It's a steep hill, a big boulder and there are a lot of obstacles. Don't let the obstacles distract you from the goal - you're not responsible for the other persons personal journey. You can point out the road signs, even walk with them for awhile if you're going the same direction, but you can't MAKE them follow the path. Mandated 'morality' just doesn't work. Just do your part my friend, the best you know how... it's really all you can do.

*PLEASE NOTE - I am NOT naming names or pointing fingers at any specific religion or political bias. IF offended please PM me and I will remove the post as it is after all... my opinion, (which I do my best to base on the evidence of reality) but my opinion none the less.

Ah my friend BU2B, now you have brought the conversation to the core of what is the real issue in that Love really is the answer; it doesn't matter what the question was! This sir is the very center of my belief system. We are all endowed at birth with an unlimited supply of it in the hope we will expand it more by giving it away. Really it's a beautiful system when you think about it. When I pray I never ask for anything because I am already blessed with everything I need...instead I offer all the love I contain to God's creation knowing full well I shall receive it manifold as I need it.

I offer the same disclaimer as BU2B and can easily delete my post. Thank you
