Hello OG!
How do you sum up a lifetime of countercultural weirdness across countless bizarre shores of the multiverse in a concisely witty enough fashion to leave a good first impression? Big ask but here goes…
Ol’ Ginger Rick’s been puffing since before Kurt Cobain left this mortal plane, been online since you connected to the internet through your BBS and it was all glorious glowing green text. I miss the music of the modems wail, a relic of a young 'net when even getting online made you a bit weird already, before the web, before it all became one more cheap marketing hump.
I’ve been deep in the western Canadian weed scene since the 90s… always close enough to see the shit go down but subtle enough not to get burnt. Lucky too, so many times I was lucky. The things I’ve seen over the decades in BC could fill a fat ass book… that gets everyone busted. Sometimes I wonder how I made it this far.
But I’m an older Ginger Rick now, a wiser Rick. After a long time out of the grow game I’m flexing the legal rights I spent years putting my once young ass on the line for. I’m glad cannabis is “legal” in Canada, finally, but the last place I want to buy it from is the government that spent 25 years of my life kicking my loved ones in the teeth over it.
So it’s time for me to finally master my craft, and after years of lurking I’m stepping out of the bushes and joining the community. Here to learn, here to share, here to take it to that next level together. But first and foremost, here to give thanks.
@ReikoX your tincture thread is a life changer. Cannabis is the only medicine that brings relief for my wife’s extremely painful chronic condition, and thanks to your thread I feel like we’re finally getting dialed in on a system that works. I can’t even begin to thank you enough, I would invite you into my garden and press my best colas for you and we’ve never even met.
@Mr.Sparkle, I’ve actually enjoyed your work for while, since I found your earlier micro cabs on a different, weirder forum. I’ve even seen you grow in a bucket with an Arduino, very amusing. Your micro work was a big inspiration for me to finally start cropping again after so many years, and I just got a shipment of new LED strips thanks to your cheap LED thread, so again I am in your debt. I’ll do my best to help pay back all the help you’ve been over the years though… something tells me you’ll appreciate a good rundown of my RasPi based, Mycodo controlled grow cabinet. Seems like just your kind of mad science.
So I’ll get a grow thread together here soon so you can all check out what I’m about. I have so many others I want to thank but I wouldn’t know where to stop. Thanks and big love to the entire OG community, I look forward to pushing the scene higher with all of you!

Hello everybody, I’m Patrice and I’m from the UK. Im in my early thirties and have been smoking cannabis pretty much none stop since i went away to uni at eighteen. I started growing it not long after that although I haven’t grown constantly, I’d say I have around 8 years of growing experience. Always indoors, always coco, now with a mix of hps and led.
I used to prefer fem seeds until a friend turned me onto Bodhi seeds and these days it’s pretty much all I grow. I have a tremendous sunshine daydream revegged mother plant and some cuttings from her vegging at the moment as well as a few other bits and pieces. I have never tried breeding but I hope to eventually. I have a couple of packs of sunshine daydream that I would like to preserve.
That’s all I got for now, next time I’ll bring photos. I’m off to roll a joint and water the plants, peace.

Welcome to OG, BBS was the frak’n sheet back then, fun times for sure, got to meet so many people.
I grew outside in the 70’s, it was hard, too many helicopters, we managed, I was also lucky, then moved indoors, took a 15 or so year break and I’m back, NY sucks 
High & Welcome to OG
MY wife is from the UK, I lived there for a while (Cheltenham) before moving back to the US (mistake )

Hell yeah brother! Welcome to the fam. We’re lucky to have such a wordsmith. Your bio could be mine if the location was Texas! I look forward to your presence. Stop by the Shitkicker Shed and burn one sometime. Again, welcome @Ginger_Rick.
Blessings…

I read that entire Bodhi info sharing thread and decided to join. Kinda been looking or a new place. I usually post at thcfarmer, but lately it seems like that site’s been overrun with first-time growers with like two posts who are only growing autos and asking for help on how to germinate seeds and diagnosing issues with their plants and stuff. Which is fine. I’m a helpful guy, but I have my limits haha. When I first joined the farm, there were a lot of good users there, people who were capable of typing coherent sentences and you could get a nice little conversation going. But lately… whowee.
Anyway, yeah, I dug that Bodhi thread so I joined OG. Started posting pics in that thread and sharing info, but I guess as a new user, I’m limited to five posts in any one specific thread? Or something? Anybody know how long until I can post again? And post more than one pic at a time?

Not sure on time frame but using all your “likes” and post pics and threads will raise your trust badge level, also start a diary so we can all check out what your doing, all levels here from beginner to commercial to some of the finest breeders, and boutique micro growers you will find in one place. Think of this as open architecture for the growing of our favorite plant. Most friendly and giving site on the web and all work to keep it that way, join in the fun …

Profile - Patrice - Overgrow.com Love that name, rolls off the tongue. Gonna use that when I can go back to playing blackjack at a real table. “Excuse me sir, your ID has a different first name than the players card you requested.” So, I blast back,”Patrice is a family name you insensitive bastard!” Dealer says,“Changing $300 for Patrice!”
Sixteen iterations off the central finite curve, there’s a Rick that works with wood, more than with polarity plating. His name is GingerRick, but he’s no dummy. He realized long ago that the greatest thing he’d ever create was his Cannabis.
Come home to the impossible flavor of your own completion. Come home to Overgrow.

Hello everyone long time lurker, finally joined. I started growing at the end of HS around 98’. My friends and I would say in 10-15 years weed would be legal lol. All of my early attempts I never followed through. Even spent a fortune once to grow what I considered big time. Had 6x600 what lights and even gave all that up after a few months and finding out I was a dad. A few summers ago I grew about 3lbs outdoors. Slowing prepping for an inside grow. I’ve been reading since my high school days off and on. And I’m always finding new useful info. I also enjoy art and music production. MAKE CANNABIS LEGAL ON A FEDERAL LEVEL. Everyone should be allowed to grow at home, just like tomato’s. Peace
