the marijuana forums these days are a joke

Shamus I meant basically that I moved to Seattle in 99 and my style then was urban bohemian, i listened to modest mouse before they were anything but a regional novelty, was addicted to radiohead since 92, wore ironic glasses with tweed coats, cordouroy and boat shoes and rode a schwinn. I was just trying to match the vibe if Seattle from 99-2003. Then comes the late 2000's and suddenly the Seattle style of almost 10 years ago was something called "hipsters" and i just laughed. Been there, done that. Which is why that "fashion style" or whatever it is, did not spring up organically it was cobbled together with bits and pieces of things that had already been over for a long time. The culture now is not based on music or clothing it's based on a common love for socialism and moustaches. The so called "folk" bands like mumford and sons are lame, they would do better by all of us if they reignited some of the old standards written during the last revolution like some CSN&Y, dylan, maybe early bowie, that kind of stuff that refuses to let its audience become complacent. We need revolutionary music about revolutionary topics, not songs about moustaches and internet memes.

For some of us like me, I been in the grow game since the early 90's. When I first started out no one helped me, shit I remember ordering my first seeds from Mark Emory him self think it was Shiskaberry? I was so paranoid about getting them delivered to the house. lol and forget about driving to the grow store I always parked far away and always felt like I was being watched. Today's kids have it too easy , not only in growing but in their everyday life. The generation of kids today wants a quick fix and wants to make a quick buck and think its all easy. Google it is their answer lol But I worked very hard to get where I am in growing techniques. I didnt have Google in my days it was all trial and error. It takes time and patience to be a master grower something these kids today dont have. "Time and Patience" Just saying...

 

[baba G]

Trial and error teaches you so much. I had many ole timers give tips and advice but many of them had been doing the same thing for decades without trying alternatives to see if a better result could be had. I love to tinker and try things, so I always just tried things and learned through a lot of trialing and some errors...lol

 

[baba G]

"If it ain't broke don't fix it" was what the ole timers always would say and I would respond with, "but can it be improved upon" ?

Sometimes you don't know unless you try and I did a lot of that and many times came back to older methods but I did make some breakthroughs for me by tinkering.

There's a difference to the 80's punks and the 00's emo kids, the punks were having fun with it. They weren't notorious for cutting themselves on webcams. The kids now are so obviously rudderless and full of hate it is really pathetic. There is nothing new happening, everything now is just a re-hash of 20 and 30 years ago. Emos many of them became hipsters, the cultural equivalent of a junkyard just going through old worn out trends and "ironically" piecing them together and calling it something new. It's like nothing is being allowed to create a new feeling of style, art, and music because TPTB realized how influential artists and musicians can be and they won't allow it anymore. The idols of today like Kanye West, Gaga, Bieber, they are 100% tools meant to pacify their fans at best and make them hopelessly depressed at worst. Not rile them up to action like a Cobain, Hendrix, or Brad Noel who were all killed once they became uncontrollable.

Dude that is some retarded conspiracy shit right there. I agree with some of your points but to say that these people were killed when they clearly were not is no bueno. Brad died of a heroin overdose. That's a fact, and that is probably also why his music was so groundbreaking. I remember going to warehouse parties in LB when they were first starting up and their music was nothing like date rape or 40 ounces to freedom. He got in to the H bomb and it fucked him, but it also made his music special. That's the way it went with A LOT of "groundbreaking" artists.

Jimmy died from pill popping.

Cobain blew his brains out.

End of story. No need to make everything a government conspiracy.

 

[Seamaiden]

Oh yeah, I missed that. I come from that area, Brad did it to himself, hunnert percent. And David Lee Roth was always an asshole. Cobain, man I felt so sorry for him when I learned that he had Crohn's or something like that. Anyone who remembers the group INXS may recall that their lead singer also offed himself, and he just so happened to have horrible gastrointestinal problems, too, and it is said that's the reason why he also committed suicide--just couldn't take the pain.

I am a mechanic by trade and I live by that saying " if it aint broke dont fix it" lol

You don't keep up with developments do you? Jimi's manager was a shady mofo CIA man who was embezzling most of his money. Jimi wanted out of his contracts. Then Jimi dies with 3-4 liters of red wine inside his lungs, as if it had been funneled in. Nobody drowns in wine like that.

It's documented that Courtney Love was shopping for hitmen. Then a documentary filmer got the guy on tape saying who really took the contract. Few days later Allen Wrench (real killer) goes for a walk with mr. big mouth who is found dead on the train tracks. Come on, use your brain.

Brad's story does look the closest to a real OD but I have doubts, he was too influential and very anti-establishment. The story doesn't make a lot of sense. And Shannon Hoon - who dies from SMOKING tar heroin? I don't buy it.

Not turning this into a conspiracy thread but I believe MOST stars who die are murdered once they outlive their usefulness or are no longer towing the line.

 

[shoestring]

Uh i knew shannon hoon personally since a kid in lafayette. died from massive heart attack from snorting coke (he also smoked crack heavily but not that night) with one of his bandmates while heading.to the next show on his tour bus. Very talented singer he was. Male version of janis imho. Anyways thought i would correct yall. And.that conspiracy shit i think is crazy talk!!! How come the public and media almost always gets.cause of death and the story wrong about famous people?

 

[shoestring]

im gonna replay even though i only read the first page....

but its pretty simple, just like anything...if you come once in 10 years, your gonna see nothing but news....but if you spend alot of time here you can easily see who knows what they are talking about and who knows jack...

I have been to a couple of internet sites in my day and yes I have tried Rollit up. In fact I think I was like among the first 100 to join when CW and Overgrow went down.
From the start I had issues and then they refused to delete my account. LOLZER!! After explaining to the admin that trying to use my handle to attract others to the site would turn out very bad for them they acquiesced to my request.

Been back since,they still really have a lot to learn.

 

[Kendo]

As far as grow threads from old school knowledge. A fella only has so many grow threads in him. Coupled with the new jack know-it-alls and grow trolls it becomes a serious labor to keep a thread on track and viable.
I got tired of being the constant zookeeper keeping the grow monkeys in check. If not for that I would personally start a grow thread right now. I have some great info to pass along but every time I consider it I end up saying Fuck it! because of the hassles I know will come to pass.

 

[sky high]

Zookeeper. LOFL, kendo. Grow trolls and know-it-alls and grow monkeys! Yup. It's also a full time job to keep up with the pace of making the tinfoil hats for the crew who interject their conspiracy theories, their disdain for the Pres, or some Nazispeak into the mix on nearly every thread. They don't post any grow shows here because they don't have a grow to show. They are only here for one reason and it has absolutely nothing to do with weed. Monkey spank deluxe.

Yeh I agree, everytime I go the forums RI or most other forums,its nothing but a bunch of problems that newbies are having. I dont mind giving advise out but, that shit gets boring. I am a newbie my self to the farm but, so far the topics are interesting and its seems like most of the people on here have their shit together. My next adventure is breeding the right way, learning from the breeders themselves that's what keeps me on the farm.

 

[StoneyPufnstuff]

Wow, this thread is polarizing to single out a few generations as the problem with herb going under. Shut down the younger generation and they will turn their back on you, and less people smoke as they get older. Have you guys not seen how you have benefited from the pressures, these multitudes of people, have applied to give us what we have now? I learned the old way, Mel Frank and homemade charcoal filters, but see positivity as the old closet growing has emerged to the masses. 10-12 years ago it was still a few and far between thing when it came to scoring dank consistently anywhere, 2k was big full room grows; the new generations encouraged technology and the ability to expand. The resulting collective knowledge (from the boards OG, CW) helped us all expand to larger set-ups for the serious hobbyists. Folks feeling invaded by the expansion of the growing sector fail to acknowledge the bright side. The new generation has brought the various skillset and knowledge to the collective table to lay out proper grows by enabling anyone attentive enough to do it. Many who knock the flocking to the herb scene do benefit from the technology, cuts, and information sharing.

Back in the day there was a lot of crap, in between the times of amazing bud. Now there is less delineation between the bomb and the average. The average is closer to what may have been bomb, when we were back in the days of feast and famine. Thanks to public sharing of information the average joe can be very close to not messing it all up and put out a great herb for others to enjoy. There are so many genetic experiments and projects going on now that the potential to find out of this world stuff really exists for everyone. I think things are getting better. Individuals of all generations make themselves less respectable through their actions and attitudes, no need to attack the future. The old-schoolers who were on the boards in the old days were real cool folks who brought their knowledge forth precisely to engage all subsequent generations for a real world change.

I'd like to see more female growers chime in and contribute. I think there is something to be said for a women's touch when it comes to horticulture....and esp with MJ growing.
