I am a 64-year-old retired clinical psychologist. I started smoking the weed in 1965, and have been going strong ever since, although I did cut down on my usage during graduate school! That made life easier!
I was in college during the 70s, and embraced the counterculture with both arms. Boy, those were the days!
Although I was raised a Congregationalist in the Northeast, about five years ago I discovered the Dharma and now regard myself as a lay Buddhist.
I'm a real Woodstock generation hippy, and proud of it! I love the music from that era and listen to it regularly. When I look back on my life I don't have many regrets, except for Woodstock, and therein lies a story.
I distinctly remember where I was when five of us had a discussion about the upcoming concert in New York. We talked for quite some time about attending, the price of the tickets, and how we would get there. Unfortunately the majority of us decided Woodstock would be "no big deal." One of us attended, and four of us watched from afar as our judgment was proved catastrophically wrong! Talk about kick yourself in the ass!
I have tried to grow marijuana outside at least four different times since the 70s. I managed to harvest one plant; everything else was ripped off! I started my first indoor grow, in soil, 35 days ago. So far things have gone well, other than a magnesium deficiency that occurred before I realized my tap water has very little magnesium in it. Some Epson Salts solved that problem.
I love hot sauce, and make my own every year from superhot peppers which I grow myself. I have recently been asked if I would like to sell my sauce, for premium prices, at several local venues.
I am also a fan of military history, and have plenty of time to pursue that interest since I retired.
I'm very excited about joining this forum, and learning how to grow marijuana with the best of them. If I can do okay with this soil grow, I think my next grow will be a modified deep water culture. I'm technically inclined, and believe I can make a go out of that.
I sincerely wish you all well with your various endeavors.
Peace

RDWC is ridiculous OHM. I've seen some amazing results from members on this forum. Some of the best have been organic. If you start building things, please let me know. I'm always interested in DIY projects. Gets the old synapse firing.
