I have been closet growing most of my adult life. My first experiences were guerrilla growing as a teen. (is there any other way when you still live with your parents) My success was varied but mainly everything sucked. As I grew and so did the hobby, better books came out so things started improving. Like understanding light period and the differences between sativa and Indica became known. Exciting times. I had recently moved to the PNW where I met a guy who had some amazing smoke. I would pester him every time i saw him and was always giving him money as he was my only contact with the herb. He was slow but the weed was so amazing. After awhile of this chase game i grew tired of waiting for my weed when the proverbial black light went off over my head. Dude it takes you so long to get my weed I could have grew my own! From that point it was on.
The next day me and Grandma JO (mother in law) were in the car driving down to the grow shop to buy me a light It was a sun systems 2 unit with the timer mounted right to the ballast. and i had done my reading I wanted a 430 not a 400 for the extra blue. I look back fondly, such big plans with such a light I"ll have garbage bags full of weed. That is what i was thinking. I had just built a workshop in my backyard and had finished installing the wiring 208/60 A Plenty to run some tools. The first thing in there was a 430 W light and two office fans. I thought i was the shit. Argo430 was my handle ( didn’t get that right from the start should have been agro but i kept it) a light and two fans was my signature. I believe it was Overgrow then if my memory serves me right. I realized quickly that no matter how many times i had read Ed or George i didn’t know shit. Here was this amazing place with information new methods the exchange of ideas a community. I was instantly hooked.
I built a proper two stage closet learned about fans and humidity and keeping the flower chamber fed. I learned about mites and smells and neighbors, I made friends. I started my search for the “best” (i am still looking). I learned about the trials of ordering seeds in the mail trading clones with friends. I have been after it ever since. The last few years i had been a holder on to boards that kept changing owners and names I felt alone. A guy i knew threw me a couple of crumbs and i found some lost faces. Then another old friend threw me the life line to here. I am grateful to be here.
About me I am a true lover of a good doobie . I’ve recently gotten into Rosin and pressing my buds but i love a good bubble hash or just dry skim off my rolling tray.
My Grow is always changing as this is my hobby and not my business. I tend to make things hard on myself by unnecessarily changing stuff constantly. I have grown in soil and in hydro and in coco and in slabs cube loose fill on rafts vertically etc etc. Because of this my tag line is terminal intermediate my avatar is a little green tractor meaning I love to farm.

Hi everyone
I am a keen grower based in Scotland. I was a member back in the early noughties although I can’t remember my original user name. I joined uk420 when this site went down and it was a good site but
turned a bit sour with arrogant, condescending mods, trolling and threads tending to descend into slagging matches between members. So glad to see OG return and I look forward to being an active member again. Most of my learning in the beginning came from here.
Peace

say say its your boy roroOG. here to cultivate conversation and the best of the science of horticulture. You already know. I hail from a little place called “none of your goddamn business” (forgive my chappelle show reference). Its about the process they say. Trying over here not to put the cart before the horse. If you know, you know. But you can’t know what you don’t know. I’m here to learn homes, teach me “que no sabe”. Holla back youngin’
