Number 1 old fart tip

i love this thread idea.
although i have only a touch of grey...a perfect environment is unattainable. it is a herb, and it will grow in 90 degree weather.


I am sorry, but I do not think that this is proper or solid advice. Please clarify this post...

A proper, "dialed in" STABLE environment IS very achievable. Especially with the aid of modern day digital equipment...

I would never recommend growing in temperature that hot indoors. That is even a touch high for someone using C02. But for the average grower, without C02, 90 degrees is not going to do anything but cause the plant to form looser buds due to the need for a respiration rate. The plant will need to "breathe" more due to the high heat levels...it stress the plant out. Some very sensitive strains might even through male flowers in temperatures that high. Once again, there is an ideal temperature range, and it does make a difference in the final quality of your finished product.


Just my opinion....but what do I know.

You know you're an old fart when "regularity" becomes an important part of your vocabulary.

you can learn more by listening than talking.

I always liked the phrase about god giving us two ears to listen and only one mouth to speak, not really religous but it's like your quote...the loudest in the room is never the smartest in the room

Growing old may have its ups and downs, but it beats the hell out of the alternative.

Live fast and party hard - it's too late to die young.

Ok I got to plead a mea culpa to this one. I was reading this thread when I got up to go to the bathroom. After having to duckwalk across the bathroom to the cabinet in the hall due to observational failure and an empty kleenex box, it seemed sage wisdom indeed.

my wife always tells me I'm "full of bad advice and tacos" That being said, YMMV.

Be friendly to your neighbors, but never invite them over for tea.

Learn another language, you'll never know what'll get you through customs without a search.

If you're buying northern property learn the term "permafrost". Also see "brand new sinkhole"

Don't take life too seriously. Hang up a hammock in the grow room, get a tan.

Never order "eggs and hash" in Botswana when you're eating next to the cop shop. On the plus side it came with a pipe.

Always check your oil.

Never go noodling where the catfish are electric.

Your time is only worth as much as you're willing to ask for it.

As far as grow advice always remember. You are not a grower. You've never SEEN a grow operation. That electric bill is from welding. . . Who the hell still smokes pot at 60? Absence of evidence is better than evidence of absence.

If you're indoor gardening, plant something innocent- flowers or vegetables- outdoors. Then, when someone says, "How come you got a twenty pound sack of vermiculite in your storage room?", you got a better answer than "duh..."

Plus, it makes the world a nicer place, doesn't it?

Best advice someone could have offered me, 40 years ago, is a Firesign Theater quote;

"Everything you KNOW, is wrong!"

Could have saved me a lot of time and hassle.

I'm just saying;


Question everything!
Put everything to the test.
