Sadly it has to come to an end (for now at least)

[Guest]

Hi folks

Well, I have a sad anouncement to make. Due to family problems and financial difficulties, I am regretfully having to wind up my indoor grow. I have all my spaces full of plants either flowering or vegging and I have a week to get rid of everything. This means that I will be able to harvest my Hashplant and two G13 x OG Kush but everything else will have to go.

I will spend this weekend moving as many plants as I can to my guerilla plot, I should be able to get most of the non-flowering plants out there, but a load of flowering plants - Thai, Jahwi's Joy, Cheese, Actual Sativa, Blueberry x Zamalhaze etc. Will just have to go in the bin along with all the sativas that just won't flower outdoors in the UK at 54N.

I shall keep all my seeds safe and hopefully it will not be too long before I can grow again, but there needs to be some big changes in my life before that can happen. I am unemployed and jobs are very hard to come by where I live, I have no relatives in other parts of the world, no savings, no money at all so my options are very limited. I need to find a job fast and that has to be my priority, sadly growing can't be, although I wish it could be!

I will still be around and will post from time to time, but with no grow, I won't have much to talk about!

Wish me luck with findig a job and send your good karma my way, I certainly need it right now!

Sorry to hear about your situation....but at least u have your priorities in order. Taking some time off can be a good thing. Keep a positive mind set and do what u have to do.

 

[ItsGrowTime]

Why the rush? If you dont want to get into details, I understand.

 

[Guest]

Well, can't really go into details but it's a financial thing mostly, I can't pay the electricity bill and need to reduce my power consumption drastically.

 

[kuff23]

Ill pray for u my friend,stay positive ,go sunderland!

Take the ones that have not finished outside for 12 hrs a day for light, then bring them back inside for twelve hours of darkness.....

sell the dandy and beanos for a start

I'm gonna persuade my friend to stick the Grape Krush and the SAGE in his back garden for 3 weeks till they are mature.

You know, that's a good idea Hazy, I think I'll have to get em valued! I sold all my CDs last year on Amazin, just MP3ed em all first, I used to work for Sony for a while so I had loads of rare promo only shit. I sold about half my books too, just kept the ones I really want. Never thought about the old books from childhood though, I'd love to keep em but if they can raise the cash tfor me to relocate and sort my life out, it's well worth selling em.

There are about all I do have left to sell though, apart from the books I have left, my clothes, my car and my hand carved Balinese teak bed I don't own much else, just a computer and a digital camera!

I've got a load of unused nutes though, anyone wanna buy a litre of Canna a+b, a litre of Pk13-14, a litre of Sensizym, a litre of Hammerhead.... lol

Hi Ganja Pasha,

Well you have various options available to you:

1) sell your product to pay the bills

2) move to another area where you can get better paid work - get yourself on the housing list in another area....somewhere in a big city, and not in the sticks as you are now....that way, good employment prospects and you won't need a car either

3) if you get a suitable property, use your skills and do commercial grows

4) consider other illegal activities you might be good at


I wish you good luck and all the best m8

 

[Guest]

Hmm, let's see:

1. My grow is tiny, don't grow enough to have much at all to sell, I smoke 90% of it!

2. That's what I plan to do, get the hell outta where I am now!

3. This is also in the plan, wherever I move to, it has to have somewhere to grow!

4. I've done a few illegal activities over the years, nothing nasty, but I have been a video pirate and a software pirate and made a living, but I'm through with such things, I'm just not criminally minded. Crafty, yes, crooked, no.

I'm not sure what's gonna happen yet, but I'm doing my best!

 

[green_grow]

in B.C. you would have a job the day after you landed here (just in case a major re-location is in the back of your mind). i hear you about having no money to re-locate though. good luck to you.

 

[goodmangigabyte]

BH, sorry to hear that you have to shut down. I imagine it happens to all of us, sooner or later. I'll miss the pics of your grows, but I hope you'll continue to peruse icmag and post when you can. The knowledge you've gained over the years is impressive and was a real aid to the ic community.

 

[Guest]

Hmm, BC would be nice, I know a couple of hot chicks from Toronto I met in Mexico a couple of years ago. Being English, would I need work permits, visas etc?

Cheers for the kind words goodman, hopefully this will be a short break from growing, I'll still be around and posting of course...

 

[green_grow]

toronto is thousands of miles from b.c. and the economy is MUCH different there right now . sorry, cant advise on work permits, visas, et al.

 

[DIGITALHIPPY]

i cant say im anything but confused.
i guess you grow for yourself.
then im not gona tell you to sell so you can pay.
i feel bad about the situation, i hope you fix the problem.

Ah, I forgot how big Canada is! I guess I need to go read up on BC!

 

[ojd]

sorry to hear of your bad news bh

if theres anything i can do to help let me know

peace

 

[Guest]

Cheers ojd. All anyone can do for me is to be supportive and keep growing our beloved herb cos I love watching and learning. I'll come visit when I get a job, I'll be desperate for some top notch smoke by then and I know you and true are always holding some serious dank! lol

Fucking dole want to stop my benefit today because I didn't apply for a crummy job at the local prison. They think that having two degrees isn't a reason to not want to clean toilets in a prison for some reason. I'm no snob and not big-headed, but I ain't wiping up shit in a prison!

A break is merely that, nothing more, and happens to all, voluntary or otherwise, at some point.....

Growing, for those who "take" to it, seems to always be a longer term activity, running 10-20-30 years or more.............a year give or take here and there in the whole scheme of things is but a minor disruption, and, in the process, paves the way for bigger and better things down the road.............time off spent reflecting on methods........mistakes.....things you'd like to do, or change, and, in my experience and what I have observed with people over the years, the ones to follow always put the previous to shame....

Approach to security is usually dramatically improved......efficiency usually doubled......

General overview of life changes by the day for all as we age........the person of tomorrow always does better with life and everything in it than the person of today....

The test seems to be if one comes back to it....

Have seen a lot of people shut down over the years...........majority never return..........so.....returning the test....doesn't even need to be thought about.......because if really a true passion.....your mind won't let you not think about it

Been there.

Yes GP,

I'm sure this is just a temporary halt to proceedings, and you'll be back in the driving seat soon.

Remember this: it's YOU who's stopping the grow and NOT the Pigs!!

I hope you get everything sorted, and manage to finish flowering out what you've got.

You have great m8s who will help you with the best clones when you get back on the saddle, so that's something to look forward to, and in the meantime, you can sober up a bit like I am doing (no weed/decent hash here), and get your life together.

Good luck and all the best m8,

Peace,
BB
