Welcome, good place to start learning more

Medical patient in Illinois, I work in the entertainment industry, mostly in audio. I’ve always been keen on the sciences, electronics and mechanical engineering is my schooling, but I never graduated so what does that matter. I learned more in the field than I ever did in school, I didn’t ever really meet my full potential back then. I have suffered anxiety and depression since the age of 11 or 12. I honestly don’t remember a lot of those years. As I matured I started realizing I was very much not feeling normal. Other people don’t regret going to sleep, because you know it means you’ll have to wake up and take another day. So I got treatment, early on very unsuccessfully. Some inappropriate medicating for an adolescent, or young adult even. I was diagnosed and treated for several things, ultimately leading to the realization it’s not that simple… but I digress. As I grew up socially awkward, in a small private school; I had no access to the electric lettuce, I only knew people who did. I wasn’t about to ask. Then later on as a musician, I of course was exposed and consumed; but I never got genuinely high. I’d take a couple hits (I smoked cigs, my lungs didn’t mind) and felt a little lifted and it never occurred to me there was more.
Quarantine has been absolute hell on my life. I have no work, no money, nowhere to go. Since March my life has been on the thinnest edge it’s ever been. I won’t lie, I live a decent life. I have a compassionate family that takes care of me when I can’t… but mentally it’s just a nightmare. I found cannabis made all the noise, the terror, just go away. If I only knew before: I just needed a little more! I quickly took to scheduling doses after testing various mediums, and basically found my optimal medication regime. Some from Big Pharma, some from nature. Some from good hearted people who lend a hand or ear, like you all. Before I got led here I was in a very serious frame of mind. I needed to decide if I could ever live a quality life supporting myself; and my medical cost are already high without IL prices. The cost was seriously causing more grief, worrying about running out, or using too much one day. Or you buy the wrong strain, oh fuck… anyways being able to affordable source this wonderful medication, which has halved my usage of harder pharmaceuticals with zombie like side effects, makes me much more at easy. I’ve been able to accept life for the first time. Literally the first time I got high enough I about cried (shit, tearing up writing it) because for the first time I could actually feel correct. I could feel happy. Like regularly.
Sorry for the long post guys, I’m a rambler. I try to quell it but I feel a compulsion to over explain and elaborate. Honestly though, AMA anytime, I’m very open. If I feel it’s too private, I’ll still probably tell you in a PM. I don’t have much to offer at the moment in the marijuana world, but I know tons of other stuff, so you’ll see random bits from me. But mostly just questions for a while probably, lol.
Y’all are a blessing I need these days. I hope you all know that.

Hi There,
I found y’all in the Marijuana Horticulture indoor/outdoor Medical growers Bible
My son gifted to me on Mother’s Day.
I Really do Love the growth of the Beautiful Females, I love the looks, Smell, the Beauty of her buds, Her leaves her strength. Her Growth !!!
This year, 2020 I put in 3 girls in March that I bought @ local cannabis then a month later I bought 3 more , well last month I found the 2 of the latter girls turning male so I had to pull them .
Now I have 4 and they are doing great.
I have a worm bin I feed them worm tea,
The fire OG, must be a early bloomer, she’s already got pretty plump Buds ,
Not sure when to harvest her though, any of them for that matter.
The other 3 are starting to blossom as well.
Like I said it’s my 1 real time on my own having these ladies.
My mate and I had some back in the 80s but that was a long time ago.
I’m giving lots of attention to them and they are gifting me with their Beauty.
Thanks for letting me share and join in overgrow I hope to enjoy learning and sharing all that I can about these Beautiful Ladies .
Thanks .

Right on, I really need help/ friends , I been on my own other than this great Mother’s Day Book.
3 of my girls are to the roof, they sure got big !!!
I put them kind of close , 3 foot / 3 foot with potting soil, compost from the smart station in town and lots of worms from my worm bin with frequent worm tea oh and a little sand. I put them like 8 feet apart and there no room between them now. Next year I’ll space them farther apart.
I’m reading about the suicide leaves needing to be removed.
I need to figure out how to get a pic or two in here for ya to see.
Thanks again #Who to
