Wow, I wasn't planning to register. But after reading page after page of generous, good-natured posts and shared knowledge - you 420 folks just plain melted my heart and I HAVE to join in the conversation!
I recognize a superb forum when I see it.
I closet-grew my family's heirloom strains in the early 80's and was getting pretty savvy in the ways of our favorite plant. But um, a new family happened and "gardening" has meant just edible vegetables for the last 21+ years for this old dog. Let me tell you, it was humbling and compared to cannabis propagatin' it was like I possessed three brown thumbs.
Sounds backwards, but I really had to "listen to the garden" and slowly, with discipline, learn what works in this part of the world for each vegetable plant.
Now am getting ready to once again set up a stealth system and I see that there is a lot of new technic about, but also many many things have not changed. We have an Internet now, and some pretty cool seed banks. But in so many countries the art must still be practiced in isolation and out of sight.
This forum must keep so many gardeners from going insane! Meaning, it's a terrible thing to feel alone. And the Internet makes exchange of information (and the human connection) possible in a way that the world has never seen. I give thanks in advance for 420's existence...
I look forward to continue learning from the masters here, as I have been doing by lurking for um, too long. Please don't laugh as I catch up with some of the jargon (Still trying to figure out what "UBT" stands for, though I see what it DOES thanks to journal pictures!) - but as a seed is still a seed and a newbie is still a newbie, I pledge to offer help right from the start where I can and where there's need.
So, feeling like Rip Van Winkle, yet convinced that we're among friends here, I hope to be birthing and journaling a grow in 2012. You'll probably see a SOG with old-school elements but also a couple of 'twists.' We may flourish, we may flounder and fail, but we'll have FUN dang it!
Just call me:
