Okay, I’m coming from ICmag, pretty disappointed how it went there. Seems like a dying place. When I started there around 2012 I was witnessing how cool it once was with the old seedbay. People could make a private breeder account and sell off their own crosses or collected seed stash.
Lots of notable breeders did post there on a regular basis and lots of fine genetics talk was held. This all went down the drain from around 2016 on. They promised to build a new seedbay thing so I took the chance and sent there lots of seeds in the hope to get in contact with people and genetics but it was all shit. It never went that way it was promised. You can’t start any sales for yourself anymore and nobody even buys there. It’s a complete letdown. They are offering just a handful of packs under server fund now from a pool of probably thousands. WTF… Breeders left ICmag, people stopped talking.
I thought times had changed with the Instagram thing and people don’t frequent forums anymore. And so did I. What a luck I recently found this new overgrow thing where everything seems to be as it ever was.
About me: Smoking since 1992, growing first in 1995 to 2000, when I got raided and sentenced, luckily on probation and community service, while I was advocating myself in court.
Then in 2008 I think, a neighbour girl came in and brought me a little plant and said they had too many and if I want it to take care of it and immediately I realised what I have been missing all those years, my dearest hobby. So, from that day on I knew I would start all over again growing if I ever get the funds and room again and so I did in 2010 and never stopped since.
My oldest cuts I am using are the Amnesia core cut, which I acquired in 2017 from Flowery fields Vienna, a Cookie Wreck x Agent Orange selection from 2016, 4 selected clones of Chimera’s GSC S1 from 2017 and my most recent one which I called “Weizen”, which is German for “Wheat”, cause it looks like it and is a cross of my 2012 Greenhouse SSH x Dutch Passion Blueberry crossed to Banana Peel by Illuminati Seeds. I hope to find lots of new input here and share and swap some things around.

Welcome @OlderFolder ! I too was an ICMag’er back in the early 2000’s/10’s, in the glory days when people were helpful, and respected breeders were constantly on the boards as members of the community. It has not aged well IMO, but the rebirth of Overgrow has replaced all other forums for me…I made accounts elsewhere, but I’m here all day!!
Great to have you on board

Welcome to OG, @OlderFolder! I’m pretty much a newb here, and I’ve found mostly nice people who are very generous with their knowledge. I expect you will find the same thing to be true.

And I’ll point out that I’m an older folder too. I’m 72 and seriously foldable rofl for my age!
