Stroke victim bear with.... (edit)Thanks for the exposure to all the different nationalities and their outlook.

..and to Gypsy most of all. YOU are a champion of our cause, ’nuff said. Without

YOU…none of this would be possible.



…A long time, since the beginning, OG and a refugee None of that

really matters much. I've grown for a lot longer...first time in my

parents backyard. Dad whooped my ass, not the first time either..lol,

that was in 1973. Grown has been part of my life for as long as I

remember....I'm having a

hard time now as I had a stroke ...don't recommend it.... Sucks ass.

I'm not a big poster, but you at ICmag, the people, at least the ones

who I follow have been a life saver. I'm into this writing for about

an hours, too many….so hard to type with one hand, spell check is my friend.

But grower’s, the lot of you, are a special bunch. You’ve helped in

ways you don’t understand.


Grew up in so cal…fields in national forest...

Those times, hanging, planting was no joke either,

sometimes timing…lol, bug, i trim like you, anyways,

life on the other side of the law, i loved it. Busted twice….shit happens,

just like now….roll with the punches, eh…that is to my ’nucks friends, the ‘eh.

I have a personal garden, suffering. Not liking life, just so fucking hard…lost a dear

friend recently….grower’s get old and die….we supplied a need….than and now,

and we made some money…not sorry …fuck doing time, we take what we deseave….

anyway love you growers….you heal me, like the herb.

Strokes, no joke and that why i’m writing…apt no longer, just needed to bitch

and thats one good reason for the tokens den…unlike the shark tank OG

Thanks for reading

Luv you all, joe

Always lurking...you, keep on keeping on. It's for the love of this plant that helps...recovery seems a distant thing at this point, but the doc's assure me I will. The drugs, no help but smoking seems to help. Your grows...always impress. Keep sharing... it helps the lurkers

I'm an organic guy...love to have my hands in it, simple...no, but the ex hippy in me likes it...just hard when one side of your body doesn't want to respond...garden looks like hell as a result....watering has me at wits end

Aloha nui loa

Means a lot...luv back

Get well my friend, I'm getting older now losing friends more and more. We really had fun in the 70s. I lived in SoCal from 76-82 in San Diego I probably smoked yours or your friends bud. Thank you for starting all this.

The 70's don't get me started on how much fun…teenage stuff, yep fun.

Grew plenty of bud, mostly in national forests or Timbuktu, bumfuck egypt that supplied so cal.

Sometimes it was a controlled grow where we could pull males…of course we knew about males than…just couldn’t handle the bigger plots, so seeded they were,
It allowed me to live.

We, the illegals grower’s, supplied…did it for a few reasons, money was the number one...but all of us had others. The were plenty of taker’s. Always a risk. Legal weed was always everyone's wish..my joy is that it's even on a ballot....whoo hoo, who knew?

MY joy is my little grow, sad as it is….but have grew some epic…Now I hope to harvest something.

Every year right around Thanksgiving piney smelling sinsemilla would show up in San Diego, I thought the terpin smell was because of pine trees near the grow... what did I know.
It came from Fallbrook, Santa Cruz, ukiah, it was tastey. Than by Springtime we were back to Mexican Redhair regs.
If I knew I was going to live this long I would have taken better care of myself.

i know you love the dirt, but man, you might try some hydro. i absolutely refuse to haul dirt around. shit's heavy, dirty, and a PITA! and, i'm old!
:laughing:
i fill rez's with water from a tap, so to speak. no heavy lifting. bet you could do it one handed. plant watering is automated.
anyhow, i don't care if you run dirt or hydro, just keep growing.

my friend still has difficulty with his speech. i get impatient with him sometimes and i shouldn't. been having him watch my room on occassion when i visit grandson! he hasn't killed any yet!
:thank you:

you strike me as a good and humble man! keep yer chin up my friend! reach out anytime! i wish you would lurk less, and post more. gems of wisdom i'm sure we would hear!
love,
mg
