I'd say I'm getting too old for this shit at 47, but the truth is I'm neither the oldest one here, nor do I think growing weed is a young man's game. Seems to me that growing is like golf; perfection is out there, unattainable. Every decision made now has consequences for at least the rest of the hole (plant), if not the round (run). Yes, you can see other people's techniques and compare results, but in the end, you're competing only with yourself. Patience is key.
So you all know I'm an old fart now, and you know I'm a thinker. I'm a mechanical engineer- not the degree, the thought process, which is far more important!- and a consultant. I'm the big picture guy, and I'm anally obsessed with details, just like a good engineer should be. I'm intense, I have focus and drive- and that can be a bit much for some people.
