Way to manage in there Dabbs! I am impressed by how you've kept seeds, light projects and still growing what looks to be some fire smoke...in the freaking bath tub! It just dawned on me that you've become a real boss since I started following you. One day you're trying to figure out your nutes, the next your light and suddenly some months have gone by. Each step just seemed like a step but when you sum those steps into one, I see a MadGrower who happens to Dab.
I had a partial grow under my belt before I started the last. And made some newb errors to start out.
My motivating factors are 2 fold.
1. I'm totally addicted to growing. Every single part aboout it! As some of you know I'm a semi recovered addict. I obviously smoke and drink but no hard drugs for dabber ever again.... but I'm happy to have a obsession that calms me, teaches me about the science of nature, and may be equally therapeutic in some ways as the amazing medicine it produces.
But I also get bored. So I always like to have an on going project. A in the works, if you will. As a stay at home dad and college educated construction worker it suits me. I love building things and conceptualizing.
2. (And this kind of ties back into being bored easily). I have to improve things at all times. Even if the project is complete I'll re evaluate hownis could have made it easier and or have done it better. And more so growing on a public platform where my failures or successes are so transparent.
Sorry kinda just high and rambling maybe...
But my freshman science teacher had an interesting quote on her wall that said:
“We Learn . . .
10% of what we read
20% of what we hear
30% of what we see
50% of what we see and hear
70% of what we discuss
80% of what we experience
95% of what we teach others.”
William Glasser
May not be 100% or even scientifically accurate at all but the last part is important, and I feel it is true. Or at least for me. But really it's about helping others not make mistakes, and giving back. There have been so many people here that have contributed to make me the grower I am now. So I'm trying to pay that forward and help whoever I can where ever I can.
Thanks for the kind words. I'm just a man on a
mission to spread the one thing that is more valuable than all, knowledge.
