I'm 59 years old, and smoked my first J July 4th, 1969. Except for 30 days I was on Probation, I've smokeed almost everyday since.
In the 70s, you could not give homegrown away, no one wanted it, it was GREEN tasting. Only when INDICA in the early 80's came alone, did we start enjoying homegrown SKUNK weed, or CATSHIT weed, it was called, because of the smell.
I grew 4 yrs in a row in the early 80s, outdoors on a secluded island in a large fresh water lake. We read Rosenthal's Grower Guide but was too stoned to do just like it said. We harvested the night when the weatherman said the first frost was coming.
I did two SEA of GREEN 10 to 12 week Hydro grows last year and one 5 month Grow this year.
I 'd say I am well read and experienced on SMALL Indoor HYDRO Growing, and Ignorant on Indoor SOIL Grows or LARGE Commerical Grows.
