OG member from 20 years ago....

Hey everyone! I started growing when I was 17 in 2003.

I remember my dad had me so freaked out that any bud I might try to smoke would be laced with crazy drugs, so after he passed away I thought I’d try growing it myself in the attic area of my garage in SoCal. I remember reading some of BOG’s posts, very nice guy! I was able to use the cardboard box from a Sony Boombox on its side so it was tall and narrow. 6 compact florescence lights, and a small tote with a jerry rigged dwc setup. I was success with my first grow and smoked my own stuff! I think it was only about 1/4 oz though… I was able to get through two grows total before I moved out and my mom sold the house.

Now in Ohio and issue 2 passed as of Dec 8th 2023 so I told my wife im buying a grow tent setup! After comparing, I went with a 2x4 tent from AC Infinity, using coco/perlite Fox Farm Cult Nation, Autopot system, two 5 gal fabric pots, GH three part nute system and calimagic. I also got REALLY interested in Blueberry Pancake from watching Home Grow TV on Youtube. Unfortunately, Blueberry Pancakes is sold out so I went with Blueberry Muffin from Humboldt Seed Co.

Before remembering about overgrow.com (it was 20 years ago…) I had joined a few cannabis grower groups in FB and watched a bunch of Youtube videos from Highigan, Bassdropkeys YFNN, Grow Room TV, CannaCribs, Philly The Stoner, and Mr. Grow it. It is amazing how much easier it is to learn how to grow cannabis now, compared to 20 years ago. The time before youtube! lol

Anyway, I am excited to be back and will share my grow diary here soon. Currently at day 5 of seedling stage…

Woohoo, congrats on Ohio getting on board! BB muffin sounds good. I have a old school blueberry going in early flower. Good luck on the grow. Ac tents are great. I have a 2x2, but 2x4 is such a handy size. Anyway, welcome back and good luck!
