Sometimes most of live so far apart it's hard to get to know other growers,,but eventually you do connect with some. It is funny when you say go to the city and its an hour to 2 hours away,,,lol. But I like the boonies, so it does not bother me much.
I have passed on the strains I have to 5 different caregivers or card holder that grow there own in the past 2 months. I was gifted strains and was told i can share them with others,,so why not. Eventually I will have more of the local strains I am interested in,,but it takes time.
I started out using bag seed I had on hand, I have a mom from one bag seed that i will keep around for awhile. It is either a current strain , like past 6 yrs or from the 70/80's seeds I have that got mixed up with the newer one (not by me). It is all heavy fuel/pine smell and the smoke is all lemon citrus taste and kicks your butt. Personally looking for my favorite in the past is the real MOB, not the ones out there that have been crossed with other stuff. I am also looking for Jack Herer, but that one is down the road.
Also looking and hoping more states make it legal on the east coast and we can have a cannabis cup with close traveling distance too,,hahaha,one can dream.
Keep growing Mainers, like life should be,,hehehe
