i grew a small maui wowie cherry bomb or whatver it was called outdoor this year. for some reason it didn’t even get anyone high, waste of time for me anyway.
I know a lot of the people here are very giving and generous in nature. Also I’m sure folks want to share and help each other on here. but sometimes, a grower isn’t up to the task of producing seeds that aren’t ‘tainted’. For whatever reason, be it stress, or not familiar with the plants need, etc.
I’ve received seeds a couple times from very nice people, but the seeds weren’t very nice, to put it nicely.
I feel put it down to a bit more experience still needed, in some instances?

Doing it not quite right the first time, is just part of learning how to do it right the next time. It’s all part of growing…literally and figuratively
Never put down anyone’s effort to grow and share and give to their compatriots. Only try to help by gently steering them in the right direction with small suggestions. But, only if you truly know that you can help them, not hurt them…
Keep in mind, budding new growers are really only wanting to be part of something bigger, I think. And it can be hard, to put yourself out there, only to be crushed by insulting words, instead of inspiring words.

I’ve gone through it all earlier in this thread but here’s the scoop again lol I’ve lived a very rough life, and I’ve had a lot of head traumas over my lifetime. Some were pretty bad. There’s a lot of scar tissue around my brain and it’s pressing against the inner ears. This is causing a condition that’s colloquially called ‘punch drunk’… You see it in a lot of old fighters, etc. My doc says it’s going to be here for the rest of my life. He’s giving me meds to alleviate the symptoms and it does work…to a degree. It keeps me from having the extreme sessions that put me into the hospital, but doesn’t stop the bouts altogether.
That, coupled with my multiple other ailments are what has me using a rollaround walker and/or a cane. lol
In other words, I’m basically a broken down, busted up, old fart, that’s lived past the ‘use by’ date… and just to ornery to give up!
WAIT A MINUTE! I’m really just an 18 year old fun lovin fella…that’s trapped in an old fart’s body!! Yeah, that’s it!

I was asking cause I deal with vertigo from time to time and the medicine they gave me was Meclizine. It helps some what, I do have to take a 2mg Valium for it to stop. I just wanted to try and see if I could help is all.

I first set a hoe to dirt around marijuana plants when I was the ripe old age of about 3…so I can basically lay claim to being involved with growing for 70 yrs now.
Born and raised on my grampa’s marijuana farm lol
Done a lot of things and been a lot of places over the years. Marijuana has been the one true constant through em all. I’ve never stopped trying to spread this magical plant wherever I’ve been

lol 3rd gen gorilla grower, that I know for a fact. Possibly 4th gen lol since I grew up listening to my grampa’ tales of starting to smoke at 6, so he probably stole it from HIS pop, since he had to get it somewhere, and that’s the logical conclusion.
George Washington said Hemp is the crop every farmer in the country should be growing!
Before you start up like my sons do on me, lol NO I was not there to hear him say it! 
The way my 3 sons put it, I was there when Moses came down off the mountain lol
Jokingly of course, we’re pretty damn close, my boys and me

Sorry Mr.Johnny had to put the dogs out. I joke with my Mother stating that her Birth Certificate was carved in stone.

The 3 sons all have learned growing by working with me. The oldest is 36 and turning into a damn fine grower himself. He’s here working in this biz with me, and the other 2 will be coming soon. So they’ll make 4th-5th gen growers! lol When grampa was born (1876) marijuana wasn’t illegal, so you couldn’t really call my family elders ‘gorilla growers’ but you get the picture lol
