Any original OG members back?

Hi @mmddyyyy, welcome back!

Glad you are out of the shadows. P.s. love the user name.

Would love to see a journal run on the seeds you’ve discovered…

WoW! I just tried an old link and almost fell out when it came up!!!
I was a lurker mostly, early LED player(not producer).
OG was the most important site for my real education, lots of 70’s bunk went out the window when I learned from the masters.

I was an original OG member way back when. To be honest, I was 15 and 16 when I was a member so I don’t know if that even counts lol. I never thought it would come back to be honest. I just thought I’d give it one last try since I was attempting to do my first “adult” grow, and here I am. I am 31 now to give you a sense of how many years ago that was. It is good to be back. I learned a lot when I was younger about growing. I’m continuing to learn each and every day. I am most grateful for the wisdom and knowledge here. Thanks everybody!

Very Niiiiiiiice!

I was riahgorf_1 from 1999 till the disappearance. I met many fine people, Sunny, MzJill, Subcool, BOG, just to name a few and I learned so much from all of them and many others as well. I never posted any grow shots because I was deep in the heart of prohibition land (Oklahoma) at the time, these days we are free and clear with a kickass medical law in place so it’s on now!

I was telling a friend about the stash box I made and posted on OG back in the day and thought I would try to find a pic of it for him to see so I typed my old username and overgrow in google and you guys popped up. Who’d a thunk?

I made the GrowFAQ back in the day. :wink:

Anyhow here’s how it’s been goin for me lately.

You all taught me well, thanks again,

Strange…for some reason i decided to search what had happened to overgrow, and one of those links lead me here. i did not know this site existed, new overgrow that is. I’m an original member of the old Overgrow. i joined in 2004, right around the investigation it seems which is funny, lemme explain…back then i went by pabloescobar9. i know this handle sounds Gey AF now, but back then no one knew who pablo escobar was unless your read a book called “killing pablo” by Mark Bowden, same writer of “Black Hawk Down”. so the funny thing is i got arrested by Union Township PD (Cincinnati, Ohio) for growing. handyman entered my home illegally after getting complaints of a leak from the people below ( i was doing Hydroponics) and spotted my grow and called the cops. so i went to jail and bailed out the next day. Overgrow was a tight community back, people were respectful and kind to each other. Nothing at all like sites of today. When i got out, first thing i did was go home and log on to warn everyone on OG that i had been busted and there was a good chance they had been tapping my PC so to clear their PC’s of messages, links, evidence etc…turns out i was right, they had tapped my PC but AFTER they had busted me. they saw my post which pissed off the judge, DA, and obviously the cops who i had referred to as “keystone cops”, a reference to bumbling law enforcement. i was a first time offender, member of the US ARMY, pillar of the community and i lost it all because despite it being only 26 plants, 20 of which were babies they hit me with a 3rd degree felony and would not budge because of my comments online. i got 5 years probation and a 5000$ fine, but i lost my job as a surgical tech and found myself selling gym memberships and sleeping in my friends garage to just to get by.
13 years later ii am 43yo and with some hard work and determination i got it all back… i now live in Oakland California, my home state.
i work 2-3 days a week assisting a local nationally recognized surgeon who specializes in shoulder replacement surgery, and the reason i only work 2-3 days a week is because i own and operate a legal state licensed Hydroponic farm. (Check me out at IG@relentlesshydroponics) Iv’e often thought about sending Officer Sean Zint (the douche who busted me and called my boss) a postcard of me in the middle of my farm holding up my license and a proud middle finger, someday i suppose.
By any chance are there any OG’s from OG on here that remember my post? i would imagine something like a posting warning about cops would stand out in someone’s memory. would love to hear from you and share memories!

(Here’s a little bud porn for you)
