Big howdy to the OG community! I’ve been a member for a little over a month and I’m just getting into growing and it’s only my second grow that’s currently getting flipped to flowering stage this weekend and been doing a lot of research due to my mistake of being a member on RIU (absolutely not a helpful forum)! Also I’ve been getting more people complaining and ridiculing because I resurrected my Dad’s Phototron so I spent a year just trying to get some input and got more info about EVERYTHING I was doing wrong. I have been using the OG community to get some input from and it’s been an easy going forum and I look forward a continuing relationship with such a great place. Wanted to give PhilCuisine a big shout out for referring me to OG being a former ICMag and RIU forum member

Welcome to OG @DrGonzo13 . I know what you mean. I have met some great people on RIU but it is defiantly not the same forum as OG by any stretch of the imagination. You have choses wisely in coming to this place. Have fun and enjoy this great community.

Welcome to the forum Doc! We are glad you found the place. I’m a refugee from another forum as well. I kinda know what you mean. :slight_smile:

Welcome @DrGonzo13,
I too am coming from RUI and found the same type of environment there. OG has been a great change of scenery thus far for sure!

I am CWF; guitarist, engineer, raconteur, troubadour, guerrilla from illegal state (don’t ask). I like truth, honesty, cigars, rum, bluegrass music, blues, old guitars and amps. I despise fools, thieves, liars, rats, commies, and other authoritarians. I don’t give a rip what anyone other than my family thinks about me.
Grow tall, and prosper.

Welcome @CWF. My state recently went legal. I found it very hard to overcome years of staying in the shadows. It still freaks me out interacting with people. I much prefer to just lurk and be invisible.

Welcome to the forum CWF. As a fellow bluegrass and blues enthusiast, I must ask. Do you pick much? Several of us are long time pickers on here. lol

@MoBilly : c19 killed all my gigs, and the bandleader (blues band) died of congenital kidney issues, so I am only picking with friends about every couple weeks for the last year or so. I try to play some every day, mostly fiddle tunes. I am selling almost all my amps and quite a few guitars. I am keeping some vintage strats and a "56 LP, but mostly I am working on a solo acoustic instrumental set in order to play out a few times a year. I got a Preston Thompson DIA dread that has made my Martin D-18 gather dust, so the D18 is on the block as well. I did recently do a fill-in gig for a friend’s blues band. It went well, but I am a little rusty since I’ve been focusing on bluegrass/fiddle tunes.

Welcome Dr. G…Glad you’re here…there are tons of OG members here who are willing to help you with your grows and they are nice people to boot, unlike some of those assholes at RIU…If you need help with your Phototron just let me know…That strain Black Eyed Katy you have growing in your Phototron sounds interesting…

New grower and in need of some input on my plant

The same thing here. C came about and playing out stopped like THAT.
The band went their separate ways.
That was a bad time all around.
Now I just get together about once a week with a few friends and once a month we have a jam in a friends workshop where maybe 20 people show up.
It’s all changed, and it sucks.
