62 years old, grew outside in Marin County north of San Francisco in the late 80-90s, then started growing indoors, in Colorado in 2010. I moved to Wyoming in 2016 and stopped growing for the past 8 years.

I just retired, and moved to Ohio in April. I dropped my first seeds on 4/20, two weeks after we moved in the house.
Two days ago, I harvested my fist plant in 8 years! :bigjoint:
What's up @MeOhMyOhio. :-D

The important thing was getting out of Wyoming.

7th largest state, 50th in population. It's not an accident. It's a great place to visit for skiing, fishing, camping, hot springs but you don't want to live there.
Exactly! I was a personal chef for a billionaire on a 300,000 acre ranch. Lots of great liquor, wildlife, crazy ass adventures, hunting/fishing in private forests. The nearest neighbor was 5 miles down a private road. It was BRUTAL in the winter! Drifts would be 5'-7' high, and you had to have your shit together. Fortunately we had generators, battery backups, automated systems, cell phone extenders, antanaes etc...

Surviving was more just a matter of waiting it out sometimes. I did grow shrooms while I was there. I still have a couple zips I brought with me to Ohio. I might inoculate a couple bags here in Ohio soon!

I knew someone who did the same thing for "a billionaire in Wyoming" lol Small world! I live in northern Colorado so I'm pretty familiar with Wyoming's charms, good and bad.

That's what I've heard.
Crazy fucking place; I knew a dude who worked on the oil rigs and had worked up to site boss AND tools lead (I'm sure I'm mangling the job titles, is been awhile). He'd been making $430k a year but the last I heard, he was in jail.

Makes you wonder...

I think I am "that guy you knew who did that". I used to go up there and cater for them for a few years, each summer until I was offered a permanent position with the owners. I'm I'm sure we talked about it

Yep! You and your buddy, in fact. He helped me out for a little bit.

There was most of a 20# bag of Girardelli dark chocolate chips in the mix, too. Those things were amazing and they found their way into all sorts of goodies and edibles!

60 in October Gave my working life to aviation and when that turned sour went to auto and light truck. Last job was mechanical side manager for a restoration and modification shop. Very technical brain that has been craving a challenge for the last 2 years since back surgery. The preparation and testing for my simple 2 bucket dwc tent has been great fun. Using the internet for tips and techniques has shown that OMG how can so many people give different answers that very so widely and yet they seem to get rightous buds. Had a huge crisis of faith when my testing showed that none of these " smart systems " to control the tent would work and are all lies. It will be charts and double numbers verification and methodical testing of nutes in and nutes out. I printed out so much to study and honestly I have not had this much fun since I dropped my last hobby due to health reasons.

Hi my fellow Growers..
I have a question
Can I use filtered water with canna coco a and b

..I don't have city water
I have a well...
What kind of filtering? Have you tested the well water at all like ppm and pH?

If you're talking RO filter then for sure you can use it but especially with coco you're going to be wanting to add CalMag on top of what will be in those nutes which should already have a fair amount. The coco specific nutes have extra Ca and Mg due to coco fibre needing more than peat based grow mediums.

:peace:
