Greetings:
Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Vinnie Kaz, and I have been growing, smoking, and researching cannabis for the past 30 years. I am an electrical engineer, author, gold prospector, salesman, and chinese-style martial arts nut; tai-chi, chi kung, xingi, these workouts are about to take over the world soon! I grew up 40 miles west of Chicago. Just after graduating high school, I traveled to Happy Camp, California, in Siskiyou county (northern Cali) in 1981 to dredge for gold on a gold claim located on the Klamath River.
After a full summer in California, I had a chance to make some local connections, and soon found myself in possession of multiple strains of very high quality, seedless marijuana, the likes of which I had never seen when living in the Chicago area. At this point in time, almost no one was growing indoors because metal halide grow lights were just coming on to the mass market at prices that people could afford. This was the ultimate party for me: 18 years old, pockets full of gold nuggets, alone in northern Cali, and high quality sinsemilla all around me. :cool0041: My personal gardens were cultivated on a ridge about 75 feet above my gold claim on the Klamath river. When the plants needed watering, the pumps on the gold dredge were used to pump water from the river up to the garden above. Needless to say, a whole bunch of that Cali sinsemilla found its way back to my hometown over the course of the next ten years or so.
Over the past 30 years, I have lived in Illinois, northern California, and about a dozen points in-between. I have always tried to move to areas that were "hotbeds" of marijuana cultivation. Because of this, many connections and friendships were established with a multitude of professional, outdoor cannabis growers. These relationships have allowed to me to observe, first hand, many of the most closely guarded trade secrets and old-school techniques, used by these professionals to triple their garden yields, increase garden security, repel cannabis-munching critters, and reduce the amount of back-breaking labor required to set up a clandestine garden.
My latest endeavor (8 years worth now!) has been to put all of these techniques and "trade secrets" into printed book form, entitled "Guerilla Growing Trade Secrets: which I am now in the midst of publishing. Also heavily involved in the push for decrim and medical marijuana in the state of Illinois.
Well, that is pretty much my life story..........been involved in the cannabis "industry" for years, just not in a high-profile way like some of the more well-known cultivation authors out there. I look forward to answering your growing questions in the outdoor growing forum, and chatting with all of you in the future, and hopefully learning some of YOUR most closely guarded cultivation trade secrets and tactics!
Best Wishes To All,
Vinnie Kaz
