Troll it up about 5 or 6 years ago now I think. Breedbay , then here .
I had zero online presence for my first 20 years growing. Wasn;t worth the risk or needed. Now with a med license it is nice to be able to .

My first grow journal was in a Hello Kitty spiral notebook that I got from a girl who eventually became my ex wife.
I even printed out pictures and pasted them in.

My first one was here on OG in the early 2000’s.
I explored other sites, but OG takes the win in my opinion.
I’ve always liked the environment here. It is awesome that OG came back to life.
I don’t even bother browsing any other forums.

My first grow log was right here, lol Being a hardcore gorilla grower all my life, I never published pics or things online, on any site, or any social media. But, I did come here in the late '90s-'00s. Chat/lurk, mostly with a couple questions for Oldtimer1 on his ‘Bonsai Mums’ tute… Nothing before then, or from then to now. Only lurked occasionally back then.
Does not ever having a grow log, on any site, ever, before here count?

On OverGrow around 2003 or so, before the big blackout, then one from Australia, Karma Genetics, then DDoc’s Barrel O Green and all three got mites and went dark. After the BBO, started a thread on ICMag, when I ordered seeds, then got the boot after I ran them as they had ZERO resemblance to the description/jpegs on the site.
