Kybirdman13 here. I was a member 2003-2005. I was surprised when the website popped up. Awesome! I haven’t grown in 10 years. Since my wife was put in a nursing home with dementia, I have been thinking about another grow. Glad to be back.

@MynameStitch i was super excited to see you joined up here again, been a long time. So much has changed since the OG days. Life is very good, finishing a reno on a house and going to convert garage into new grow area.
How about you what have you been up to for the last 10 plus years? So much has changed in the lcannabis game. I was blown away when I got back in it a year ago

welcome back @Kybirdman13, this place has changed alot since you where on it . It is new and improved
I was. In the later 90’s. I was in high school trying to hide my pot plants from my mom haha. I built a grow box from a metal safe. It was hell grinding it lol. I had computer fans and everything for the intake and exhaust lol. How times have changed. I can’t remember my original username though, which sucks

welcome back. i think there was a touch more to it than that but i had jumped ship when the guy that showed me how to start dwc got busted. stopped growing and never looked back until last year or thereabouts. there’s a thread on the whole story of what happened and why somewhere on here.

Original Overgrower here. I started back in 2004 thru I believe 2006 or 2007. My nickname at the time was Astroraver If I’m not mistaken lol. I was saddened after taking a slight hiatus when I started back up growing a decade or so ago to find overgrow had been taken down. I just happened to try it again last night since Minnesota recently just legalized and wrote a pretty generous grow law for our state compared to other states. Just started up a indoor grow last week! I’m very happy to have this community back!

The very first mention of it that I remember seeing, and how I followed here was from picking through the News Groups.
Maybe it was Weed Base on there, I really do not remember exactly. I found them in 1999.
I was a machine builder, back then, welder/fabricator/ trying to teach myself, how to use a computer.
I was more like a primate driving a car for the first time. An UGLY, UGLY time, for me and the computer had.
I found them as searched for, Libertarians/cannabis things.
It took me another 9-10 months of lurking, to make a handle. I did know what a message board was!
I was also an original donator to the site, and I got treasure from that, a beautiful message from OT1, about donating to the site and sometime later on, he sent me a copy of his E Book, Bonsai Training for Mom’s, or something like that. Just golden to me.
It was a defining point in my life, as all these crazy fuckers, in here, EXPLODED in my mind, with such a huge volume of cannabis and how to grow it, knowledge.
It consumed me! I could lose 15 18 hours a day, reading, searching, planning, then acting on those ideas.
It was a bit rough and tumble in here back then, and everyone was learning, even Shabang.
It started as fully open information.
Great idea, but thread after thread of how to steal light kits from outdoor signs, how to steal electric from the power lines, how to hook them, but watch out, it may kill you also, booby trap designs.
It was wonderful and crazy as fuck all at the same time.
Over Grow 2.0 is much more open and friendly.
Anyway, I’m sure others can remember way better an I do, I’m old as hell.

There is no doubt about that… but it still was an incredible place to be full of knowledge. I like you could lose the whole day reading thread after thread get some sleep and do it again the next day. The shear volume of new members joining on a daily basis was astonishing

So glad to see the community back in action. I fondly recall spending hours and hours reading the old OG. I especially enjoyed the DIY posts. The off the shelf equipment back then was expensive and many times lacking in quality. This place is such a wealth of information. Thanks!

I was an original member of overgrow back in the day. I want to say I signed up somewhere around 2001-ish. My screen name was TedNuggets or TeddyNuggets. Can’t remember for sure.
I was semi new to growing back then when I first signed up. There was soo much knowledge on overgrow. I remember spending hours and hours and hours reading through posts. It was extremely helpful to me as a newer grower at the time and I’ve been growing ever since, in part thanks to OG.
I actually still have seeds that were sent to me from overgrow members back then.
I have a handful of seeds Quimik sent me of his Matanuska thunder **** x peak 19.
I also have something labelled “G13 bx2 x Orange Crush” sent to me by an old overgrow member in the early 2000’s.
And another strain called “PowerBerry” sent to me by another old OG member.
I remember being a tester for one of RezDog’s sour diesel bx’s (bx 2.5 if I remember correctly. I still have the empty package around somewhere. I’ll try to find it). That’s still the best SD I’ve grown.
Anyway, I’m looking forward to reading through this thread.

Hey TeddyNuggets,
welcome back.
I also ran that Rezdog Sour Diesel, his WillyD, and williams wonder. All three strains, turned you into a bobble head.
I got mine from his website he had set up. Long before the shit hit fan for him. Freaking huge buds also!!
