Farmer Reading
Well-Known Member
Hi Y'all,
I grew up on a pure-bred production hog farm in SW Ohio where my family strived to find the best genetics to raise the best pure-bred stock in the country.
After serving in the military and studying at university, my spouse and I moved to Chicago.
The mild (ha!) Chicago winters were an invitation for seasonal depression, so I started vegetable gardening.
Having competed at fairs with livestock in my youth, I decided to reconnect with my competitive agrarian roots by competing in the State Fair. Over a four year period we totalled eleven ribbons including one best of show at the Illinois State Fair whiling gardening in a 32 sq. ft. bed.
This inspired me to try my hand at cannabis cultivation where I planted one outdoor plant with my sister in Ohio and grew one plant in my apartment in Chicago. The outdoor plant yielded seven oz. and my indoor plant (more or less under a 100 watt T-5) yielded one oz. dry.
The indoor plant was grown in a third story apartment's three season sunroom in our Chicago apartment. The plant looked like little a Christmas tree from the outside.
We moved back to Ohio a couple years ago giving me an opportunity to truly to try my hand at cultivating.
I love getting lost with my girls in my grow room where I find peace and purpose.
My goal is quite simply to become the micro grower in the world.
Currently I would consider myself a novice cultivator at best, so I have a long journey on my road to perfection.
Happy to be part of such a vibrant community of people.
