Hello! I am Motaco. I was a member here in the old days and I am really glad to be back on Overgrow again after all of these years. Overgrow was a really big deal to me when I first found it around ‘02. In those days I went by “420 guerrilla”, and I was a teenaged pothead trying to grow seeds from Mexican brick weed in the woods behind my house in Louisiana. It was the early days of the internet, and I was amazed to find a community of cannabis growers. It blew my mind. These almost mythological counter culture figures. Pot growers! They were coming together for the first time to share ideas, techniques, and genetics with each other. They posted pictures of big grows full of bud like I had never seen in my life.
I was enamored with OG and I spent a lot of time talking to older heads. I created the original “Ultimate Sativa Thread” so I could talk to old timers about the legends like Panama Red and Acapulco Gold. I will be damned if it hasn’t been almost twenty years since then. Now I am an old head telling old stories.
Those old timers did in fact help me learn to grow, and I hope I can help some others learn to grow too. Here are some pics from my last garden. About ten years ago I got some very nice looking Mexican brick weed and I couldn’t help but pop some seeds from it. It turned out to be an old school pure sativa that flowered for over four months. It had giant feather weight buds that were full of foxtails. The effect was very mellow and clean head high without a hint of Indica. I would love to have grown it under natural sunlight.
