Was 2 years ago today our landscape was changed for the better. I say landscape because it has been 2 years we can grow legally. I have yet to do it outside but am on my 3rd indoor grow. I have learned more about growing in the last 2 years than in the 56 years prior to that as I had never grown it. Anyways. Hopefully the USA gets its act together and makes it legal down south......
 
That makes it the third birthday. It was born on the first one ;).

Are you growing outside because you don't have the space, or don't want the expense of artificial lighting? You probably get bigger plants (and heavier harvests) outdoors, so it's probably worth the additional hassle.

It's the 2nd birthday not 3rd. Became legal on Oct 17, 2018. I have only grown in my tent. Never outdoors. That will change next March - April. Wife worries cause her daughter and the grand kid live with us so can't grow in our yard. Been 7 years now. Getting fed up with them living here. About 4 years ago, Told the daughter get your shit together while I am working cause the day I retire I will not care about you or the grand kids living situation. She is still on the public dole. Have not yet told the wife. I am retiring in March and we will sell the house. We will move to the sunny okanogan in BC's interior. Kid is not permitted to move with us. She will get the riot act that she had 7 years to get it together and did nothing so live your life elsewhere.
 
Does she think you've been putting the rent she's been paying you into a secret savings account for the past seven years and are going to hand her a nice check when you move or something? Expect to tag along when you do? Stay and meet the new owner of the property?

None of my business (obviously). The above is simply what went through my head in the few seconds after reading your post. Followed swiftly by, "I feel sorry for your grandchild," of course. And something about how, if you have that conversation with your wife NOW, it could save you from the joy of learning how to live the divorced life as a retiree with half of your assets, lol.

I wish you luck, and am glad that it's not something I have to deal with. Mom once said something to me about how, if I ever found myself homeless and with a "young dependent," she'd be willing to try to take care of it for a short time - and that I'd be welcome to come by and visit it once in a while. Even stay for supper occasionally, lol. The gist of it being that a child isn't responsible for what happens, but as an adult I was responsible for me. Or "I'm tired of putting up with you - and now I don't have to" :rofl: .
 
A "my property, my rules" policy is needed! If a guest doesn't agree with my activities I would gladly invite them to leave. Guess that's not so practical when dealing with the wife though!! Beggars can't be choosers, or so I have heard.. Not sure I see an issue with "adult"children or even actual children seeing a live cannabis plant. Can't seem to comprehend what is worrisome about it! The various wild mushrooms all over the lawn are farrr more dangerous. It's prolific here and it just seems ridiculous to hide it... When my wife's people come to visit they want to see the garden first thing, get their pictures taken with it even.. But ya, happy birthday to the legal weed! Not sure what crop number I'm on now, I got a head start by a couple or few years.
 
Wife is frustrated by the daughter too and more so by the grand kid. I do know we are on the same page. I am ok with the daughter living with us. She is respectful and helpful around the house. The grand kid however is a whole other story. When we move next March - April he will not be permitted to live with us. Wife told the daughter when he is old enough to move out she can move in with us but the grand kid is not welcome. He is lazy, shits in his bed. Encopresis is what they call it. We had to rip out carpet when he smeared it all over the floor in his room. Then we had to do it again when he got caught pissing in the closet. He is 11 and wears diapers. Daughter paid for the flooring but I did the labor on it. Even 3 weeks ago he had a meltdown and screaming incomprehensibly 2 hours after I went to bed. I told them to get out of my house so they went to her dads for the night. Told them next time I get woken up he is gone and not coming back.

that is awful. sorry to hear. get that poor kid some help if you can. there are clearly behavioral issues tied through the medical. you need to have protected boundaries, both mental and physical though, to ensure your personal balance and safety.

The wife and I made a decision that we are moving by the end of April. Won't be a problem after that. I don't like to say it but I will not miss the kid. We did try and get the kid some help a couple years ago but the daughter for whatever reason did not follow through.
