There's another bloke I'm following who started the same day as me, he's using the Dinafem ones so I'm keeping an eye on them too. He's got a completely different set up so it's not an exact way to compare but hey ho.
I've literally used Barney's since the day I started growing. Couldn't get the seeds online then, had to actually go to Dam if you wanted them. Well worth the trip(s) but had to buy loads to make it worth it.
We're still being naughty here but whilst we stay vigilant it's relaxed a bit. Back in the day (and to a degree now, I dont visit grow shops or use credit cards) it was an absolute nightmare getting any sort of equipment as old bill (or the cops as you say
used to sit outside waiting. And if it wasn't them it was the stick up gangs.
We are so far behind you lot due to the secrecy and paranoia we have. I talk to one person about my growing (you lot don't count) and it's only because he's blood and grows too.
Haha and thank you. I genuinely have practice drills so no one in the house panics when the shit hits the fan
I'm not going to lie I love the kick of it, we done the funniest jig in the world when she left. I'm sure she must have heard us laughing
That's Dolly she's only 3 months. Germans Shepherd x American Pitt. I was in a tower block for my last three grows and had my little terrier (he's wanted as my accomplice so can't reveal his name). Security was tight and if a burglar scaled 8 floors to nick my garden I'd applaud him
But I'm in suburbia now. Im away at all hours of the day so I needed Dolly to look after Mrs Chro (and the garden) whilst I'm out.
And tbh my decade of poor weed was to
. Bad advice
. Lack of bad advice. No one talks (and I was vehemently steered away from it by the fam so none from them)
. Paranoia (internet, credit cards and talking about what you do are a no no when you're from a family of growers-all retired now of course)
. Growing in tents. We can't do outdoor grows so come summer, the tents that are hard to control in winter become ovens. And as we are being naughty, we can't have the miles of ducting and AC units stuck around the house. We get a drought every July/August even now so I stock up from April and then (ruthlessly) make it available come drought time
. And finally, my own laziness or lack of foresight. A grower gets the feeling when something isn't quite right, I used to be guilty of leaving it and hoping it would correct itself with the attitude "it's a plant it will be ok"
For the past five years I've been reading, putting into practice, f***** up, trying again and then re-reading
I've still got a s*** load to learn too (colloidal silver????)
Sorry for the essay mate, was nice to be asked some questions, I hope you stick around and I can make it worth the visit
Stay lucky geez
