Well as the title states I'm an expected father. Baby's not gonna be here till next summer and I'm considering growing while they are an infant. Any opinions on the matter? I just got half way descent at growing and started tuning my plants in well and I really love it! This is my first child for me and my wife and we are nervous. Excited too but still nervous. I just wanted to grow 1 or 2 more good grows to save some loot instead of buying on the street. Anywayz what are you guys and girls thoughts and opinions on the issue?
Definitely, definitely, definitely grow. I'm looking at it from the "saving money" point of view. Every little bit helps and, personally, I wouldn't see a problem continuing the grow for the first few years of your child's life. Maybe longer depending on how you want to broach the issue once gingerholic jr. starts walking, asking questions, and potentially sharing fun family facts with the outside world. Congrats on the expectancy, mate. That's exciting.
Thanks brother! Yea I figured first couple of years at least but growing is very time consuming in its self. Don't know if ill have time to do both plus the legality of the growing situation. Don't want my kid taken over some bs cause a cracker might get postal!!!! Lol you got any little ones man?
Just make sure he doesn't get out of the kiddie pen and pull all of daddy's "funny plants" out of the pots and making a mess I don't care how much you live your child, if you had some awesome plants half way through flower and the child ruined them all, you would wanna kill them haha
I didn't really think about the time thing. But even if you can't devote as much time as you'd typically like, and end up with lesser quality weed as a result... you're still saving mad dough. And it'll probably still be good stuff. I wouldn't worry about the legal thing as much, to be honest. I'm going to go out on a limb and say you're not reckless and therefore wouldn't give any authorities a reason to question your parenting abilities/whether you're growing illegal narcotics in your house. And no beebees for me. Not yet anyway. I'd love to have a little anklebiter in the next few years though.
Lol dada! You guys are retarded and thanks for the replys. Yea I was mulling it over with the wife and I think we are gonna try it and if it doesn't work it doesn't work cause the kids more important. I think it's a wonderful hobby and why everyone thinks such bad things about it is beyond me. I guess they have never been listening to some steel pulse and whatching there baby's grow smoking a fatty! Lol
I agree that you should go for it as long as you're really cautious. If everything is wired well (I.E. no fire hazards) and you're discreet about growing you should be fine. Definitely put a lock on the door once (s)he starts to crawl though. Congratulations by the way!
Just make sure your bud is under lock and key so the kid doesn't actually get in there. You don't want a baby high as heaven, it'll never end well.
Indeed. I've seen people smoking 24/7 in their house while their child is there. I've seen 3 year olds with red eyes making fun of a cat for example. The kid is 11 years old now and he smokes weed behind his fathers back. but this is an extreme situation, father is dealer, mother is a prostitute and the child is exposed to everything since the clients, both for drugs and sex, come to the house. anyhow, just grow man, but keep it safe, I dont know where you live.. but your child needs a father!
Right on guys! Thanks for the opinions. I'm on a very small scale anywayz and the room is already under lock and key so no issues there. As far as them getting in the stash I can't smoke in the house anymore since the wife is prego or else I get the leg lock! Lol I keep my stash in the room as well so I think all is good there. My dad wasn't really there for me either. I have vivid memories of when he was there smoking a joint cutting plywood on a table saw. Lol I know what not to do and when they get old enough to grasp why I do what I do I'll let them in on the secret but for the next 20+ it's under wraps like my weiner should of been! Lol
Well, when a baby shows up, it tends to be a high-stress time for Mom and Dad, so I guess you'll have to see how having an illegal grow fits in with the rest of it.
Probably just gonna do it till the new addition arrives cause I'm sure ill have my hands full with that.
You got 7 months until the baby arrives. You can get 2 grows in within that time frame. No need to grow with the baby in the house and risk having your first born taken away from you.
I was in the same situation 2 years ago. Had a beautiful closet grow down to meet my needs. But I lived in a mandatory minimum state, and was not willing to miss a year (or 5) of my kid's life if I were to get caught. So I quit growing. Sucked, but it was the right decision, even if it was more expensive (and the bud was shit). Now I live in Colorado.
Hell yea Colorado! It's awesome it's legal out there but just imagine all the yahoos moving out there just for that reason. Lol....stoners.
