Welcome to OG @Tardis808 and @HeartOfDankness , glad you could join us.
Hi All, happy to rediscover Overgrow after being away for many years.
My story: I started growing in Toronto, Canada in ‘98 after discovering seeds from holland that had mysteriously burrowed their way into an orange oreo bar and curiously ended up in my mailbox. These were original white widow, northern lights #5 and skunk #1. The plants thrived under a tiny 250watt hps and I was hooked on growing my own stone. I joined overgrow back then (under the same handle due to the size of my grow) and I loved the community, meeting people online and in person. After a number of years I stopped growing but always thought about it and then legalization happened. Since then I’ve been happily growing my four plants organically, along with other delicious vegetables, in the back garden. Things keep getting better every season, this year was particularly bountiful and I can’t wait til next year. Look forward meeting and sharing knowledge with y’all.
Thank you! I grew hydroponically with chemicals when I started out. TBH I would never go back mostly due to how forgiving it is to grow organically. This year I started adding compost tea and added molasses towards the end and the plants really responded well to this.
Welcome to OG @Smalltimes . Drop by and meet your fellow Canadians here if you wish. There are a number of us hanging around the halls of OG.
Now that’s an introduction, welcome @Tardis808 !
& welcome back @Smalltimes hope you get the same white Widow & NL strains going again
Welcome to OG anyone that I have missed.
since i’ve been trolling the site for while and just started a thread in the breeder’s lab i thought i should post a little background info and say hello to everyone.
the original overgrow was the site i began on.
i’ve been growing intensely and continuously for 26 years.
i am 72 years of age. i began my relationship with cannabis in 1965 in the haight-ashbury district of san fransisco.
i am the inventor of the ppk hydroponic system.
i am a cancer and liver transplant patient. cancer free since the transplant in 2009.
my wife and i live the full cannabis lifestyle and don’t give a fuck who doesn’t like it. all day every day! saturation level of intake.
i am a designer and builder of grow rooms, big and small.
my last job was a 10k sq ft warehouse for growing hemp cbd flower in nashville.
previous to that i built my own 3000 sq ft thc facility in Eugene, Oregon. i operated that for 5 years. 49 ac/de lights.
my final product was high-end shatter, pull snap, and terp sauce.
i recognize quite a few handles on here from other sites.
i have posted extensively on icmag since 2006.
i am looking forward to my experience here on the new Overgrow.
later, D9

Hey @Tardis808 I replied to one of your posts elsewhere, but wanted to come here and “introduce” myself to you, because I’m also an AZ resident, in the Valley area. There are actually a good number of us desert dwellers here! Great to have you aboard
