Holy smokes that is some photo worthy growing right there!
Nice donkeys you got there bud great thread too ,cant beat living the easy life
I'm in the process of making my first diary on here and was looking for some to look at as examples. Basically I found your thread, and couldn't stop reading it. Right off the bat you sucked me in when I read you moved away from civilization and all the headache that comes with it. Your thread is a breath of fresh air my friend! And an inspiration to do the same; I've been dreaming of doing this for some time now... but I'm a "lone wolf" in my area and would really be taking my dog and nobody else if I were to do so. How do you deal with the boredom? I'll be following this along as it continues, youre thumb is def green bud lol
Glad you found the thread. I kind of made this thread hard to find on purpose. I've been growing for over 20 years and am very used to being isolated for months. I'm not going to lie, it can make you crazy sometimes. Just going out and seeing people is like a high. Humans do need some type of human interaction and I try to get what I can out of IC for that and there's my girl here also at times which really helps. Before my girl, there were many months of no human interaction and it does take a toll on you. You have to remember what your real goals are or you can get very lost. It's best to have a good plan and set goals for yourself. I just try to remember why I'm doing this and where I'm trying to go. I enjoy being in the middle of nowhere in the mountains but I don't plan on being isolated forever. I have no plans at all for the future of where in the world I will be. It most likely depends on how things go for the next few years. I plan on retiring within the next 3.5 years and that's always been my goal. That's when I turn 40 and i always planned to live out my dreams after that. Not saying my life has been that hard as a grower the last 20+ years but I saw no real reason to save in my younger years but there's only a few years left so now I'm more frugal with the way that I live my life to prepare for my life after 40. I just try to just keep thinking about my goal and why I'm working so hard. I try to stay as positive as I can. It's not easy but I have an open mind and just try and better myself as a human. To go into isolation alone with no one at all will be very tricky. You have to really keep your mind active or you can start doing things you wouldn't think you could do. Reality can get a little weird. Just how it is. But just think about the end when there's nothing at all in life to worry about because you worked your ass off and made the ultimate sacrifice. That's what I think about.
Yeah, I can only imagine how complete isolation would be. I'd at least have my dog, I already talk to him all day long so that's gotta be like another human right? LOL
I'm probably a lot like you were 10 years ago, I blow $ as fast as I make it... strugglin a little bit to make ends meet and move out to a home I really like in the country. You make good points on setting goals and making plans, I've learned this the hard way already. Have gotten a little better at it though, minus the money management of course.
I envy you for how you live, I couldn't imagine myself happier if in your shoes. Whats your goal by the way? That youre working towards? Mine is to be a caregiver for some patients some day... that would make me so happy to be able to help someone in need
I already lived that crazy stupid spend crazy money and have fun life and it's so old.
Snype I notice you have a bit of cal. and mag. def going on in veg A, is this done purposely?
