Yeah I mean Victorville definitely isnt the best place in the world, but not the worst either.
Anyways heres my story.
I grew up and was raised in rural Alabama. My entire life I have lived there, save for a few instances.
I have always wanted to grow marijuana since like 14. Starting at 16 I had my first successful crop(sinsemilla)
I grew until I felt enough heat from the cops, and decided I wanted to move to California to become legal.
I had just finished up a long job building a power plant making 14.50 an hour, and met a guy and made friends with him from the job. He was from victorville and told me anytime I wanted to come out I was welcome.
Well one day I had about 4k$ and decided to come on out, called him up and arranged everything, and drove.
Turns out he lived with HIS MOM, and she didnt care for me too much. I met a girl and brought her over to play pool for like an hour and hen she left his mom flipped and kicked me out.
Turns out the 4k was not enough to get started when you have no job or income, so I survived on it as long as I could and then flew me and the girl back to Alabama.
The girls name was Emily, and a few months after living together in Alabama, we were married. We stayed in Alabama for 2 years and I did another grow, which I was busted for. I spent 3 months in jail and when I got out me and my wife concieved our child.
Feeling the mounting pressure from authorities, and knowing my wife would be more comfortable during her pregnancy around her family, I decided to move back here to Victorville.
We've been here since Sept 2 and Im trying to get my grow started. We had a nreak-in and someone stole 700$ so thats not helping much.
Right now I have a 250w and 6 clones(2 Blue Dream, 2 Lavender, 2 Romulan) and am trying to grow mothers so that I can begin a perpetual sog.
I still have a long way to go but it would be nice if I had friends here so I had more lines on genetics, used parts, etc.
Anyways thats the jist of my story, thanks for all the replies, and keep them coming!
