So.....why Are You Here??

[BudBogart]

I was trying to google "the farmers almanac" but wound up here. By the time I realized my error, I had a crop starting to flower!

 

[GrowGod]

I stay for the pleasure of having my account slowed and for the joy of being repeatedly banned. Heeheehee ;-)

Like many here...I've been a member of Overgrow/Breedbay/BCBUD Depot/Cabana/Treating Yourself/ICFag/GrassCity/RIU/420Mag/Cannabis.com/blahblahblahdeeblah...etc/etc/etc..... ("I've forgotten more than I remember" Rundgren)

Long after this site folds I'll still know a few of you, I'm sure....and that makes it all worthwhile.

What was your account name at the cabana?

 

[GrowGod]

You're going to be disappointed. If you are near gunnison, perhaps a bit north, sometimes if the winds are right, you can hear the soft cooing of the shepard, tending to his flock of birds, milk bursting forth from the collection vessels, milk dripping from a fresh squirt right from the tit, or perhaps you might hear the same from deep in the canyon. It sounds like, 'OH OH OH', if oft repeated like the songbirds of yesteryear, and like those who came long before, pants are optional.

Lmao I think you have spent to much time with cm! Oh oh oh :love1:

Bwahahahaha......Yep, I can't remember all the places I have been. This is where I fit in the best. I don't like facebook.....have an account but don't post. Main reason is I can't be myself. On here I can get a little crazy and remain pretty much unknown. Plus I like hanging out with and talking to peeps who like our beloved plant.

There has been lots of changes on here but we are a crazy bunch and that's to be expected.

 

[Seamaiden]

Be yourself? I guess I tend to wear my heart on my sleeve, I am here as I am on FB.

I forgot why I'm here, but since I am, let's have some fun!

I then moved on to trying to network myself and wanted to get to know and meet other local growers.

This is one of the BIG reasons why I Facebook. And it's really turning into quite the networking sesh.

Special thanks to some on here that have helped me the most. Texas Kid, Seamaiden, Caregiver Ken and Farmer John. Thanks to Chicken Man, Sky High, Out West for their hospitality. And ttystikk for the cuts....but most of all Cannarado for the good times, and cuts. Wish I had some of them back. Hope you are all doing well.

Thank you, and likewise. :) Some I've had the pleasure to meet, others I still wish to meet.

Too bad most of those guys are gone for one reason or another now putembk,out of 9 named i think 2 or 3 are still regular posters here?I'll add a few,Jackmayoffer,G.o.d.,Waayne,Motherlode and the list goes on and on sadly.

Some of those cats can be found on IG.

I'm actually the opposite of sea, anonymity, at least the bare minimum, is essential for me. My vocation requires a certain degree of public presence, and I have to accept that some of my clients might not approve of...'this', however it is defined. While being outed isn't the end of the world, it makes it easier, for me. I would be the guy with a public account with zero info and one for my friends. I don't pretend to think Aunt Betty wants to see pot pictures, but I am amazed at what people who aren't me can do with a camera. At least I know to shoot video in landscape, I can always fall back on that.

Can you get me a job?

 

[putembk]

Can you get me a job?

I'm worthless....nobody would hire me....

If you want into this industry then you need help.

I had a single mom call me today, crying. Her kids were covered under ex-husbands insurance per divorce decree, unfortunately he died suddenly late last month. Kid has a severe diagnosis, and today we learn there is no insurance and no coverage. I don't pretend to save lives, I don't risk my life when I go to work, but holy shit does it suck to be helpless and unable to assist those in need. I should give blood when I donate sperm, do they make a rag for that? I'll check the app post.

Probally cause your too old lol

Wait a minute....this was all funny until now.......I can still pick fly shit out of pepper....in the dark....

 

[yooper420]

Why am I here ? Aw shit, ya had to ask, didn`t ya ? I enjoy the back and forth bantering between like minded peeps. Some of `em even know what they`re talking about. I`ve been on other pot growing sites and did not fit in very well. Here I can vent, I can talk, I can converse, I can listen, I can read, I am me, I can be me. Facebook ? Do not like Facebook anymore, check my account about once a week, very seldom post there. I started to write this several times, but it never sounded right, so start over. Anyway this is what I came up with, like it or not. Later. Peace.

I've learned things here. I used some of them and found they worked.
I found errors here. I ignored them.
I found other threads that made me think.
Others that caused me to research the topic and gain some level of expertise.

I gave Coco a try and used advice given here. Ima really liking the coco.

I've seen folks be pretty cool here ( as a lurker ) but I'd guess the ugly has been mostly hidden from me.

Although I'm not growing for anyone but me - I appreciate the sense of mission others have for their patients.

Welcome. Your first line initially reminded me of the quote from Taken:

 

[chickenman]

Ahhh the gunnison pantsless Pbird siren,you dare heed it's call you wake up in a haze walking funny.

Reminds me.
Once upon a time we were camping riverside with 3 childhood friends of 45 plus years..
They declined on the mushrooms..
was a hot hot real hot summer day..
I looked in backpack and found a leopard print lion cloth when tripping and put it on..
Was a real sight, no shirt, wading vest and boots on, Rod in hand. I wore it most of the day and the fellas were a bit taken a back...
A raft trip of all gals floated by and I modeled for them from a rock riverside and they were laughing asses off rowing back up to check me out.
Others pointed OMG ,look at that!! LOL...
I must admit I did look pretty dam good..

 

[putembk]

Well, I'm here today cause it's to fucken hot to go outside. Will wait a little longer and hope the clouds come over again. Got 1.3" of rain in about 45 minutes yesterday. Nice downpour! Sure did cool things off.

I am gonna cull my "so called Gorilla Glue" cause it isn't!! Disappointing!! More of a Chem Hybrid. Thank you ass hole from another site. Trade me my Wi Fi for your fake!! Some people!! Must think I'm a fricken idiot. Fool me once....shame on you.....fool me twice....shame on me.....won't happen again!

Back to my mission....to seek out new and exciting strains. Wish I could have some of the wonderful cuts back I have culled in the past. If I only knew what to keep I wouldn't be looking now......

 

[xavier7995]

When I moved to CO it seemed like a good way to meet people, hung out on icmag but liked the state forums here and the more friendly environment. Like lgg, my career is...not all that conducive to thisssssss jazzzzzz and doesn't put me in touch with people I could really see myself hanging out with. Starting to take a bit of a break from here though.

Was nice to get that down pour yesterday.
You may in fact have the real gg #4 pute, she will dud on you with enough stress. If ya got a pic I can tell you if that's what went wrong. When I was moving a couple months ago my plants had to be moved 3 times in a week from crammed crawl spaces to cold rooms my gg#4 diff and banner#3 both went full dud.

Sounds good GG. I have another 3 weeks in. I can also take a pic of the trimmed buds if you think that will help. Can't go down there now as I have been out in the veggie garden. As soon as I get cleaned up later today I will snap a pic or two.
