I’ve only done the one grow as you know SoOrbudgal being Oct-Mar but I can already see all the advantages to a fall/winter grow. Now the flies are hatching the other bugs are appearing, life is getting busier, the days warmer making my metal shop much warmer and so much more.

Everyone has been so helpful and encouraging in the forum.
 
Thanks MrPNW, I don't really care about the votes other than as a statistic, really it is the comments I am finding fascinating as this progresses. I hope it will continue until the gang gets to sick of it to respond. I hope I have it in me still to pursue the research it will take to actually write about it someday. Another fun hobby anyway. You have been very helpful in keeping it alive, thank you! I'm hoping others will expand on their stories too as time goes by. BTW, I saw Serious voted too which made me happy. I want to dig as deep into his and Nebula's stories as they will allow. Such a great contribution they have made with their hard work in developing this website and starting the forum community. I wonder if they knew it would go global when they began.
Comment SiriusFourside ??
 
In the hope of garnering a few more comments and/or votes on this subject I want to keep it alive a while longer so I bumped it back to the top. Tell us your stories from now and way back. It's interesting. ;)
 
So I’ve been trying to think why there’s so few of my youngest age group here a fact I’m a little happy about and I think is part of the reason this community is so nice and helpful people my age are a holes lol ive seen some people comment how young generation is fazing out of weed but this hasn’t been my experience if anything it may be higher literally everyone I know has tried it atleast once and a good many are regular smokers so why so few youngsters here I think 1 as weed has increased in potency it’s ability to cause paranoia has also increased and younger people are hyper aware of the power of technology it can track identify etc I think people my age are less willing to sign in to things and trust in privacy if you notice this site always has significantly higher guest to member counts I’d bet a good many are younger paranoid stoners another thing is people my age like mainstream things places where the most people they know are and things they are more familiar with things like Reddit and Discord just some thoughts to keep this thread bumped

This is true. I've been online since before the internet was public. Back when you had to dial a specific phone number to log into a BBS that was hosted in someone's spare bedroom on a second phone line, or only operated during certain hours when they would let the computer answer the phone instead of answering it themselves. Back when emails took as long as snail mail to cross the country via echo nets. Damn I feel old. But forums are a lot like the old bulletin boards, and always felt more like 'home' to me than that new fangled Facebook thing. Now that all us old guys have joined Facebook, the kids have left for new "cooler" places their parents don't hang out on. Forums are old school and not on the top of their list.

I am the only active grower that I know of, personally. I know a few individuals that have grown a few bag seeds but no one who actually works at it like members of this forum. I am a senior citizen and while I share my grow with similarly aged friends, they really don't care about strain or any other detail, just want to get a buzz on.
 
This is another thing younger people are often describe as lazier but it’s not that we’re driven we just like things when we want them not months after the price people will pay for convenience goes up exponentially as you go younger I said almost everyone seems to smoke but I’m the only one I know growing and if you aren’t growing you don’t really need to be on a grow forum to younger people I think it’s just easier to pay as you smoke rather than spend months growing then have to ration correctly to insure you don’t run out before your next harvest
 
Tumbleweed I LOVE hearing things like this I try to get my grandma to tell me stories about life “in the old days” it’s just really fascinating to me I love history and first hand accounts are the closest you can get to time traveling I recommend you watch a show on Netflix called halt and catch fire if you haven’t I think it would give you serious nostalgia it’s a tv series dramatized about a group of friends who basically invent the internet and online gaming it’s semi based on real events but only vaguely
 
Farmbuck I got a good laugh out of that but I think you’ll only find things like that in California religion is a lot like fabric it’s normally made from local materials woven together religion is like a fabric made of people and if the people grew up seeing the positive effects of cannabis it’d be hard for them to hate it just because they’re religious now I hope we have something like this in Oklahoma in the future might get me back in church lol
 
Hey Tokabigone - I thought I was the oldest on this poll, but it seems you're beating me by one year!
Speaking as a guy who started turning on in an era when "weed" was called "grass". But call it what you will, "A rose by any other name..."
 
Young people are usually looking for the “fame and prestige” of growing cannabis. They don’t really have that “hiding” mechanisms that older people developed to protect themselves. Just like they don’t really understand money, hard work, the value of piece and quiet, because they never experienced before. I’m here because I don’t do Facebook or instagram or twitter or any social media. For me it’s about cannabis only. Any person I’ve know that has grown even a single plant it’s been for the show and not for the product. I believe the fact that this site is mostly anonymous and has little social features discourages youngsters from joining. It’s just not flashy and attractive like the things they’re used to
 
TheKieftan, this is sometimes referred to as 'The Impatience of Youth'. As Queen sang in 1989 "I want it all and I want it now" still applies to the younger crowd. The possibly poisoness extreme levels of THC in dispo vape products being in demand now may come from the same crowd. Tried it once and never again. I believe a big advantage of homegrows is the ability to fine tune those levels to your own preference by trichome harvest timing and correct curing processes. Takes time just like fine wine....right Farmbuck?
 
Lol welshweed, I also 'smoked a lot of grass and took a lot of pills' like Steppenwolf and I'm now starting to enjoy being in the real 'senior crowd' here. kingfish is the only other so far in our range and he never commented on his age. Maybe he will come back now to reveal who is the eldest after all. I'm still hoping for that 'Hippie Chick' in her 80's mentioned by Catfish22 to tell her story though. I guess she is not a forum member but is still a real treasure IMHO!
 
Totally agreed with you TOKABIGONE. Wife only use my sweet herb and nothing else, she know where it came from , how it is grown etc.. Just like a great wine hey?

I like on special occasions a beautiful "Grand Cru" wine, you know a good Bordeaux that took years to fully mature before you decide to open it. Same goes for cannabis. Top shelf weed doesn't grow in a week. And one more thing, higher THC does not mean better . I drank in my younger years some moonshine but then I didn't know what was a good drink back then. Now older and "wiser" I know better.
 
The old adage 'Youth is wasted on the young' can only be appreciated as we age 9fingerleafs, TheKieftan and Tumbleweed. Your comment about the hiding mechanisms we developed was proven to be a necessity by the revelations of the huge complexes of warehouses the government is maintaining in Utah to store private citizens communications in the name of 'National Security'. That didn't make me feel very secure. As far as anonymity goes for any age, use the internet from your home one time and they can be on you like stink on ****. I'm old enough to not give a damn anymore; if they come for me they better send an army cuz it won't be pretty! I'm a combat hardened Marine and I won't go quietly!
