It's changed a bit since legalization. In 14 years I've gone from a hobbyist in a closet, to working at corporate grow, to back into my little closet. I thank RIU for the knowledge over the years, some of it useful, some of it entertaining, the rest was mostly reading too much big grow ego and bullshit.
Mostly just here for the banter that isn't news/political related these days and the funny pics thread. I'm not giving anyone advice or taking advice from anyone, or bragging about bullshit, just growing and chatting. For my needs, the info section is mostly useless, I saw every deficiency, toxicity, burn, mold, fungus, and bug possible at the corporate grow in under a year. I had to get off work and come home to see a healthy plant, which explains why I quit.
Either way, all the forums really need is some cal-mag and about 3 more weeks. It'll be fine.
