Funny I remember being so excited about my first plant at 15. Armed with nothing more than a handful of homegrown seeds, potting soil and a planter snagged from granny, I grew my first plant on a balcony in Michigan that summer. My mom discovered it but left it alone. My buddies and I picked the biggest, greenest leaves, dried them in a microwave and smoked away. Wow was it bad, and no buzz!
Fast forward to mid my 40's. Two weeks ago, I knew little more than I did back then, but I had it in my mind I was going to grow my own. I was tired of relying on the unreliable, tired of paying for pinched bags. Without any research I ordered my White Widow seeds. Next would be a planter and some Miracle Grow potting soil. I was going to be in charge of my own destiny!!
Damn you
You shattered my dreams of an easy grow! What is this mess?!? Special lights? Cycles? Ventilation? pH? Odor? Cloning? Sex? What the hell kind of weed is this? The thing will live a better life than me!
Okay so here I am, better researched, breathing slower, purchasing, planning, and turning this into a carefully planned project. I have to admit I almost said screw it, but I don't give up easily. Never in a million years though did I think there was so much to producing quality bud.
Tomorrow I'm converting a closet, running a 6" duct fan, ductwork, mylar lining, installing lights, ballast, and fan later this week. Step by step.. can't hurry this. For now, my seeds are sealed in a dark, dry, cool place.
I laugh at myself and hope you can too; but I sincerely thank those who have contributed so much!
