Old Timer Returns

I am a midwestern man of 45 and grew weed back when Hydro techniques were brand new. I was busted in 81' with 13 plants of what the police said was the highest grade weed they had ever seen. Think about that.......who tested it. Back then varieties that are around now were not available. It was a cross betwwen northern lights and a strong variety I found while in Mexico on vacation. A farmer gave them to me and it was the strongest seed pot I had ever smoked. Over the next two years I honed my technique and strain. Then I broke rule #1. I showed my garden to my ol lady who didn't stay my ol lady forever. A women scorned and all that. One fine morning at 5 am my front door was completely ripped out frame and all. Next thing I know I have Berrettas and M16s in my face. My children are carried out and me thrown on floor . I decided I would fight this bull and took it to court. Not to really get out of it but to show how rediculas the laws were and are. I spent every cent I had made from my garden, which wasn't much because a pound only sold for $400 those days. That was for primo, merch was $100 a pound. So it took a ton o weed to pay for an attorney. My lawyer was good........very good. Our argument was I was growing for personal use. During the trial while on the stand I was asked "If for personal use, why was I growing so much. Lucky for me they didn't know I had just harvested 32 plants. They thought 13 was a lot. Man........how stupid. I looked the jury in the eye and said. Well if your going to go through the trouble, your not going to grow a joint. Your going to grow enough to last. I could tell the DA was not happy and the next day they came with a plea aggreement. I turned it down but in the end was found guilty of a lesser charge and from that point on, my case became precident setting. 13 plants or less is considered for personal use and only possesion. I sat 1 year in the county jail. I guess if people wanted they could probably find my name if they used this info. I'll leave out the midwestern state. So with all my equipment confiscated and a felon I chilled. Now its 15 years later and I am going to rebuild my room. I am going to start posting my design which will show building a med system on a budget. Now bud that used to bring a couple hund brings over $2000. My room will have a Germination area, Veg room and flowering area. Using a aero design of my own using tubs and large commercial PVC. I hope someone can get something from it. Things like self cooling large reflector for $6 and 400W MH for $60. I have built everything imaginable in my life. The one thing I think your really going to like is my ultasonic fogger design which really puts out monster amounts of fog and is built for under $50 including grow pots and medium. I now have a disease for which there is no cure. I have had a liver transplant and my days are truly numbered. So let em come and there isn't a court in the country that will find a chronic pain patient who is dying guilty. So in the future watch for my posts. My first run is WW females to cross with some pollen that is 15 years old. I hope it will work. Love you all.

 

It is awesome to have a place like this. Back in the day there wasn't a treasure trove of info like this. Only in books. Lookin forward to gettin to know you guys. I have finished my room and will be posting my pics soon. I spent $650 total and here is a list of some of the items.
2 400w MH Ballst w bulbs $65EA
2 400w HPS conversion bulbs $56 ea
4 large grow chambers w 4 air stones/pumps/etc $54
Charcoal Air Nuet $14
2 cloning chambers $24ea
2 5 gallon buckets w pumps etc for taking up extra space.
I made two fan cooled reflectors (huge) out of galvanized duct pipes 12" opened up and braced and fan mounted.....total $6 ea
and more more more
I will be posting an accurate parts and cost list in grow area. When prebuilt cost thousands for $650 you can have all the best and be rockin.

Also for you guys that have water issues I found a nice (real nice) reverse osmosis setup for $147. It comes complete with two filter chambers, pressure tank , lines and more. When it cost $200 for a dinky little thing. Check out menards. On some items the shipping is free and its an awesome setup for $147
Willing to provide info just email me.

Thanks again guys. I am a little hazy this morning.........waiting the the goods to kick in and start my day. You guys are great

 

I don't really understand your comment in reference to drug trafficking. I made no mention of wanting to or asking for a hookup of any kind. I may be old but not stupid. I have no intention of going back to jail. I was attempting to be funny. Have you really had people try to score from a forum. Their shoe size must be larger than their IQ and street sense. Although wonderful, many a site and forum are monitored by the big 5-0. I remember many a bust years ago that they used to get from running ads in High Times. I think if some one is that deperate they need to start a little room . Thanks for the heads up though. In case some day I'm hit in the head with a hammer or spontaniously lose my common sense and did something stupid like trying to sell weed or buy it in a forum. Also even imply that I am doing so. I had mentioned that I am terminally ill. My intent is to grow for myself. Any other reference is purely sarcasm or a joke.

Well I have everything growing and must say that the saddle feels good. I was worried that I would not remember some of my old tricks. Not a problem, as you can see from the photo I have some great root growth. I started many strains and this photo is of some free seeds called "Sweet Dreams" seems to be staying nice and low. When I started I had never used a supposed aeroponic unit and realized it is not true aeroponics. Because it is not producing small 5-10 micron sized droplets and is actually sprayers. I started with setting at 3 times a day and had light green color and wilting leaves. I thought over watering but it could be underwatering too. So I thought of a trough system and how they run continuously, so I set it to run constant while lights are on. Bang the color returned and massive growth. Wilt also went away. I also use one squirt per gallon of oxygen plus with my nutes. You can see that in 22 days I have achieved good growth. My nutes are General hydroponics and 1/2 teaspoon per gallon giving me a reading of 400ppm. My water has a 100ppm reading straight from the tap. I am currently working on a light moving system thats easy to build and will post it as a DIY later. I'll be keeping in touch and thanks you guys. Photo is of one plant in the corner of the tub. Doing well I might add. Staying low but looking real sativa with the thin leaves.

Well the mommas and poppas are ready to start cloning for removal to outdoors in 5 weeks. My plan was to grow these that were planted on Feb1 and are now 3-4 foot tall. Very Very healthy. Using Hybrid DWC system with sprinklers and working well. My plan is I have taken clones of all these and then tripped them to flower. Establish which are ladies then clone the hell out of that corresponding clone. May 1 is the target date for moving outdoors where I live. I would say these babes are healthy.....what do you think?
