Introduce Yourself @OG (Part 2)

[delta9nxs]

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

Welcome to the OG @HeartOfDankness !

I hear you!
I live in what will surely be the last state to legalize any Cannabis THC products.

So far the Jedi mind trick has worked on the wife…

and I am always propagating cuttings of plants she likes to add to her collection/yard…

Welcome to the OG @Smalltimes , @delta9nxs!

@Smalltimes

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.

I have some posts for ya that you may be interested below:

CrunchBerries’Probiotic SIP Thread

[image] Welcome to the Probiotic SIP thread everyone! Let’s use this space to share what works, what doesn’t, and learn from each other in the process. I’ve been apprehensive to start this thread as I don’t know everything and wanted to do the thread justice. What I do know is, this is the easiest method I have come across and grows exceptionally healthy and tasty plants! Also, I thought it would be cool to have a repository of everything I have found and learned in one place. OK just a br…

Crunch’s post above has a bunch of links in the beginning that are all about organics.

Growing on the cheap! Korean Natural Farming

Most of our money goes right into bottles of this and bottles of that once you finish setting up the perfect environment. why not start making your own? its quite easy! Im going to introduce you guys to Korean natural farming! (KNF) KNF is a way of taking from the land respectively, fermenting, and then returning to the earth. fermenting is great! Fermenting will draw from deep in the cells, compounds which are not available in raw form by proliferation of beneficial lactic acid bacteria. You…

[Hippiechik]

I joined the original Overgrow in ‘99 (I think?) and went from an absolute nobody to an absolutely stoned nobody. A very kind fella named towguy gifted my a light, others gifted seeds, and it was easily the best time and most fun I’ve ever had in my life.

I’ve been a gardener all my life, and once I got into growing cannabis I knew I had finally found my calling. Unfortunately after Overgrow got taken down, I was forced to quit growing. Life happens.

I never intended to take a 15 year hiatus, but sometimes that’s how things go. I lost basically everything and am trying to start over from scratch. I have the knowledge, the growroom, the equipment (the vast majority anyway) and my old stash of seeds.

Welcome @Hippiechik , how wonderful it is that you can start growing again!
