63 and started growing mid 70s helping out a friend's older brother who was patched SC grower. Used to fill a 5 ton truck with weed. Back then, fan leaves were removed but weed was untrimmed. If you knew your dealer and he was connected, you *might get bud. Otherwise you'd be buying shake, stems, and seeds.
I've never been much of a smoker. It just doesn't affect me the way it does most people. I still grow and breed, but more for effect than killer THC. I don't have a huge vault, but the ones I do have are heavenly.
Blue Jag is my latest and god damn spiritual for me. Blues are bluer, greens greener, food amazing, damn... even water tastes better. I can get high, and no one knows it, and most importantly, I can function perfectly on it.
