Hello E'rybody!
Potmetal here. Been lurking a bit, but I began thinking that might be considered kinda rude. I wouldn't want someone watching me work and then going off, succeeding, and then accepting all the credit for knowledge that wasn't earned through their own hard work. So here I am.
I grew a few plants more'n 25yrs ago that I was pretty proud of. But then I seen a Sailor one day, had a beer or two with him,and the next thing I knew I was heading out on my first deployment. Since those days I've put many miles in my wake, and lived a whole lot of life. I retired from the Canoe Club awhile back, but not before I had the pleasure of spending my share of time over yonder. Believe me, we weren't swimming or building sand castles, lol. While I did enjoy my time with short hair, a clean shave everyday, and a smaller waist size, I am one of the sorry asses who pushed his luck too far a time or two and have brought back a little more than I left with.
Fortunately, I've had some really good brothers who were happy to offer some decent meds to smoke and I am beginning to feel like I may be turning the corner in many ways. Along the way I've managed to become afflicted with another habit, I am a dyed in the wool grower of things. I've done several rounds of veggies and herbs for my family with good success, but now I am more than interested in growing my own meds. To that end here I am.
I've ordered, received, and germinated a few seeds recently. While they're just sprouts right now, I am pretty excited. The seeds do have me confounded in one way, but before I start beating the shit out of the search function, I'm gonna wait a little longer. The two that are up over the last two days are some Silver Widow from Soul Breeders (free seeds with an order), and I'll be letting them keep getting comfortable until I see a few more sets of leaves, then it's off to DWC. I've grown some damn fine tomatoes in DWC so I'm hoping I can translate what I've learned into some good medicine. I've never tried anything other than GH nutes, so I'll likely stay the course until I've got a solid education. I'm patient and have learned to wait until the plants tell me what they want, so hopefully these plants send me good signals.
Tonight I'll order a grow tent and a Viparspectra 300w LED (& another one before flower). I have plenty of DWC buckets,stones, etc.. from veggie grows, but will have to sterilize them. I have a good climate controlled environment, just not a ton of space, so likely a 3x4 it'll be. Ventilation will be decided on this weekend, and hopefully I'll have some plants swimming in short order.
So that's where I am, and those are my plans. Stay tuned!!
*WARNING* The following are generally not safe around me: Good bourbon, good cigars, and good food!
