I am 63 . I started growing when I was 15. At that time we never got buds just shake. The way I found out about growing buddies I had a plot of 40 plants. They were 3 to 4 foot high. The ground hogs are all the leaves off the plants. I was walking by to check my 4 other plots. I stopped to look at the ate plants and they all had branches with buds on them. So after that I started to pick all the sun leaves off and I have had buds every year since. That was 1975.

Welcome to the farm 70 here and I've dabbled in growing since I was 17. I grew for about 20 years hiding in my basement afraid to come out. I wouldn't even look for info online I was afraid of being tracked by the man so the internet information gathering started 4 years ago after faux legalization for me.

Lots of good folks here with good info and help should you need it. We're a bunch of picture junkies though so if you're are going to participate...be warned....pics or its all BS......

i only use tap with peroxide at around 7-10% strength, leave seeds in glass of mix for 8-10 hours, doesn’t matter if it sinks or floats than i plant directly in promix with a bed of peat for the seed than i cover up with promix/peat..
i use small shot glass solo cups so once it pops it’s a quicker wet/dry cycle..
i use a heating mat plugged into timer with lights to go on/off with lights. usually pops anywhere from 2-5 days.. hasn’t failed me yet and i post every time on the farm here..

You can start them now if you have space to keep them until they can go out, late May in the Northeast to make sure there's enough daylight to not confuse them.

Yes, as a percentage 10:1 with ph'd water/fresh coconut water. That is a very cool seed starter shelving unit not seen at Sneers and Bohuck either. Welcome and thanks for your participation in our passion (obsession)

You are not an old grower. You're a seasoned floriculturist....... ;). Welcome. Wow, 1975, right on. High Times was a new magazine, almost no one was growing indoors......I first had weed in 1982, but I remember my Mom and her friends in the 70s, and the weed they had. (I'm 53). I posted some pics of my old High Times and some old grow guides like Mary Jane's. I first grew indoors in a closet in the late 80s, I posted pics of that too....and I got to have some of the old school exotic imports and hash in the early 80s.

Welcome. Dig the seedling chamber and the list. Would love to see some pics of yours.....(ooooh, Freakshow...)....do you have any old ones and do you still have any seeds from those old varieties? What were they?
