Colorado 2020: Roll Call

[HeadShine]

What’s up Farmers!
Mile High City born and raised, who else on here hails from Colorful Colorado? Who moved here to grow some Herb or work in Tech?
I’m Jake, stinking up Denver with my room exhaust.

Don’t be shy now where my neighbors at?

Oh man! We’re assembling quite the posse now!
Nice to meet you @cemchris !!
Up North of the metro is the most affordable area these days. Got 2 buddies moving that direction soon.

HeadShine,

I have been here about 4 years, I love it. Moved here for better work as my hometown didn't really have much to offer. I didn't even plan to grow weed or anything of that sort. With that being said, I have only been growing about a year and a half(give or take a couple months..) I am upcoming on my 4th harvest. Still very very much a beginner but learning very fast.

Colorado has treated me well, natural beauty!

Yo! This thread is now blowing up haha. I am in the Denver area. Honestly got here about a month and a half ago. Escaped the south and made it to the promise land!

I started growing around 10 years ago, but I’ve had a nice long hiatus.
Nice to meet everyone here!

Same 2 u. Yep I drove into Denver the first 2 years I was here. Def only venture down that way for shows, drag strip, or buddies now.

Anybody got some good sources for genetics in CO? I brought my personal collection of beans with me out here, but I'm always looking to expand it!

I'm a genetics addict haha...

Here's a little bit more of my story for anyone that's interested. For anyone that isn't I apologize in advance, tune out here..

I guess it all starts around the time I was 17, finding GC Forums...researching The Vault for 3 months, loading up my cart with Barney's Farm, and some "new" TGA crosses (haha, seems like forever ago now) and not having enough money to pull the trigger. (If only I was sitting on all those F1's now ) Shit, I was just trying to be able to afford car insurance and gas at the time. So instead I waited until I got a visa giftcard for a birthday and ordered a 3 or 5 pack of UK Cheese from Nirvana. I'm guessing this all might date me a little bit, lol. Oh well.

The UK Cheese randomly showed up in the mail one day. A buddy and I popped one in his closet, and off it went in a solo cup. He had the spot to do it in, so I lost access around week 2 or 3. Buddy never transplanted it, grew about 2.5 ft tall in the solo. I was impressed with its vigor, even with no love. Eventually fell over and died after about 4 weeks or so. Buddy didn't care, I was heartbroken, lmao. From that point on, my love for the plant was born.

I think he tossed the other seeds, still mad about that...

But anyway, fastforward a good amount and here I am! Finally in a legal state where I can collect genetics with no stress.

If you got this far, thanks for reading, shoot me a message and introduce yourself!
