OldMed Man's Air Pots and a Perpetual Grow

[Siscokid]

Great stories guys! They really search you on buses now?

Yup, they have "check-points" You better be holding ID too or you go to the cop car till they find out who you are.

After my long trip from CA to FL, I took another one from FL to MA and then back to CA Norcaliwood is right, you can sure find some colourful people in a bus going cross country.

Would I do it again? NEVER!

Jeez times have changed. I remember when I was 9 or 10 my very protective parents sent me solo on a 5 hour bus trip to visit my grandparents in NYC with nothing more than a note in my pocket with a few phone numbers on it. That's probably felony child abuse these days.

I remember back in my early Army days on the weekends we would hop a Greyhound from VA to DC and smoke out the whole way. Only trip the driver ever gave the passengers any problem was because one guy was drunk and obnoxious.

Times I think life is like a Greyhound Bus. Man them loooooooong rides. Use to be able to smoke tho. Always had a Greyhound Special in my pocket that help sleep thru till the next stop. Nowadays they do search heavy there. I was alittle freaked bringing herbs along. But you always find the most colorful peoples the country has to offer en route.
I see the talk 'new journal' Should be Pop's. Going a whole new show. Rain or Snow or High Waves won't keep ya out of med's. I give ya all the prop's I can on the setup. It deserves a new chapter and this one sealed. Hey acouple years ya be able to sneak acouple bushes outside. Hense a outdoor again. But bye then you 'might' fall in love with the tent. Keep em Green

Hey Sprout.
Yep, the bus trips were better. Don't like the search part now. Went from DC to SC one time. Met a girl on the bus and ended up in Ga, with her. Hell of a good time.

The new chapter will begin soon, Got one fan today, should get the rest on Monday. I hope your right that I love the indoors.
Hugs to Miss J!

Good day OMM,
When ever I saw your signature with the words "Air pots" in it. I always pictured some satellite guided, precession laser cut, space age thing.lol Well I finally googled it. Im really interested in these now. What size pots do you use?

Hi Buddy

There is a link to the airpots back on page or or two. Really explains em well.

I have from 3 litter to 11.2 gallon airpots. Lots of 3.4, 4.2, and 5 gallon ones. The never get root bound. They are kinda space age looking. They have been using them in England for 22 years. Glad I found them!

Hi Blue

Probably would be a crime now. As the world is now, you would have probably been sold into slavery! Children disappear now.

Man, I did the same thing, back in the day. Low drinking age in DC and lots of young secretaries. Stumbled in to dike bar once, almost got killed!

I was in AIT in Augusta, Ga, we went downtown drinking to a club that had 3 bars, the whipping post which had live music, lucifers follys a strip club and the marine bar, a quiet bar for older folks. well, me and my pals watched the band for a little while and when they took a break I went in to check out the chicks. When I came back (because I was broke! LOL! I gave my "bros" 20 dollars for the cab ride home) I couldn't find my buddies, I looked outside and they were getting put into a cop car! Crap!! I had to hitchhike in the pouring rain the 20 or 30 miles back to ft gordon! Luckily, this guy in a volvo station wagon pulled up with a young chick in the middle and made me get in front with them. I was pretty drunk, and it didn't dawn on me that the girl was completely naked until he asked me how long it had been since i had "had any"!!! HOLY CRAP!!!!! Anyway, the rest of the nite was quite interesting, to say the least! I got a ride back and then some!!!! Absolutely true story, folks.

Having once been stationed there I believe it !

Some good stuff, my man ! Hitchhiker's luck out sometimes.

So you were in the Signal Corps eh?

Great stories guys! They really search you on buses now?

I was thinking the same thing...Last time I rode the Greyhound bus( Guess it was about 10 or more years ago) You didn't even have to have an I.D. or anything...I used to ride it from California to Las Vegas on a regular basis and I always used the name "Bill Ding or Fay King" and never had identification..I would always have some doobies rolled up in my cigarette pack and smoke at every stop...It has changed now I guess, but you really see some strange creatures on those buses!!!

 

[Siscokid]

Yeah, I always heard of how cool it was to ride in a greyhound...that was one of the reasons I did it. But there was one big guy who just couldn't wait another 30 min. to smoke his cigarette. Man, that smell of re-circulated shit and cigs in a bus is horrible. :surrender:

The guy got kicked off the bus at the nest rest stop. I had some guy sit behind me, he must have been on drugs or med's...he just volunteered his money to me, for no reason. I told him to hold on to it cause he was going to need it, I then figured it out, he was mentally challenged and would need someone to take care of him... So, at every stop I made sure he wasn't handing out his money to any other strangers. It all fell apart after one of the other passengers had all of the sudden become best friends with him. I think he may have gave up all his money to him.


Well, hope you get the one fan put in and the rest of the stuff shows up Monday. Be checking you out my man.

Aloha OMM! Loving all the stories! We used to hitchhike everywhere when I was in college, I wouldn't give it a thought. Times sure have changed.

Thanks OMM,
The 3.4 gal sound perfect for me. Do you know the diameter of 3.4's?

 

[Wetzel]

I've been looking at the air pots on line. Is there a disadvantage to buying to big of an air pot?

Great Story willoby! Love those buses to Las Vegas, the trip was an experience in them selves.

Long ago and I mean long ago. 1960 to be exact. I did it a different way. I would call the Reno Chamber of Commerce and ask if they had any specials. They always did. Usually a hotel room for 3 days and nights, some free meals, Free casino chips, All you had to do is get there. Greyhound had continuous bus service to Reno. You could stay as long as you wanted and could catch any of them back. The trip up there was always noisy and happy. Many old folks with their SS checks in hand ready to hit the Jackpot. The trip back was usually very quite. Taking things with you was never a problem, no one even looked at you.
I made a big mistake once and took one of my buddies from the Air Force Base we were at. Got to Reno and showed him how to play Keno. First game he won $26,000.00 bucks!! It ruined him. Went to Reno every chance he got and gave it all back and more.

Hey Sisco.

Sounds like you ran into some of the strange creatures willoby was talking about. If that guy hadn't been kicked off...I would have had to catch the next bus!

Who would let that person get on the bus that was giving away his money? Either really messed up on drugs or just messed up.

At least you tried to help! Things sure have changed over the years!

Buddy as soon as it gets here, it will be installed. My helper is ready for the call!

You got me again Blue!

I used to hitchhike all the time! I went to high school at Columbia Military Academy in Tennessee. I would hitchhike back to Little Rock every time we had a break or a long weekend,
One of those times I ended up walking across the Memphis - Arkansas bridge.
I was about a quarter of the way across...still sicking my thumb out. Traffic was going pretty fast. Here came this black Mercury and he slammed on the brakes. The door flew open and I jumped in. While I was getting in, I heard tires screeching behind us and the sound on metal on metal. Later I learned that the wreck took hours to clear up. When I got in there were three Navy guys setting on their duffel bags and the driver was drunk as Scooter Brown! First time we got to a town, he stopped for more booze,
I jumped out with my bag and hid around the back of the store. No way was I getting back in that car. I had for gotten all about it until you said something about hitchhiking!

Hi Buddy

I'll answer both your questions at once.

3.4 gallon pot is about 10" across.

The really big airpots are outdoor containers. These are for really big plants. They can handle a tree for three years. This is the pot to grow something sativa about 12 feet tall. Shame I'll never use the 2 I have,
Hope that helps. OMM
