Hey
So I'm new to the site, been having a good old look around & it seems a good place to be
Already had a massive warm welcome!
Like most I'm sure, COVID has proper messed things up for everyone over the last year, If anybody has lost anyone close because of it then my heart goes to you all. But, with everything in life, we have to adapt. I've taken full advantage of being at home all the time & got back into my most favourite of pass times!
I've tried numerous times over the past...let's say.....20 years, or there about's but to no avail. I started when I was about 19years old, in a loft with some coloured light bulbs. I had a battered version of the growers bible & thought I was well on my way. But, 'loose lips sinks ships' as they say & how true. I was so impressed with what I thought I had achieved I had to share it with EVERYONE. BANG BANG on the door, 'your nicked my son'
& so It went on Lol.
I stopped then for ages, but when I moved away to Holland back In 2008 due to the recession In the UK I realised just how much I loved doing it & on my return home I decided that the show must go on.
Since then all I've done is read read read!! I started this current grow with a determination like no other, I shall succeed! All previous attempts have either been lifted by the fed's or the end product just wasn't up to scratch. But, because I've had more time to spend on this one, I'm feeling confident!! Also, It's been a long time since I had any visits from the boy's & I live miles away from my teenage haunts so I'm living under the radar & just minding my own business. Just let me grow my weed & I'll be fine LoL
Boring stuff out the way, let's move onto what we all love doing!
Space at my house is limited, so I thought lets just see how much I can get from a single plant......In a tight space!
Armed & fuelled with the knowledge of the gods, I went forth to locate what I needed.
Unfortunately, I didn't posses the wealth of the gods so cash was tight. Ebay & places like this came to my rescue & I managed to put together a compact but hopefully efficient grow space......Right next to me in my office, so I can keep a proper eye on her......an obsessively close eye
LMAO
