ICmag has lost one of its greatest assets. Silverback was a good man, he was one of the most knowledgeable people on this site. He loved to share his decades of experience with everyone that was willing to listen. I had a tremendous respect for him. I hope that something comes out of the hard work that he put into our collective passion. You will be missed my friend.

Both of us 62

Silverback....................My prayers in the last few days were for his family and friends, as they mourn. He and I both age 62 and started our pot growing before the 70's, thats where the comparison shall stop, Silverback was a first class botonist, self taught, perhaps. I am still content to grow at least two, this year 3 varieties, and harvest a couple of lbs., thats where Silverback honed his skills, sought good info and wasn't afraid of hard, yea, HARD work, and I was content...... SALUTE!

Wow...Thats more of a shock to hear than when I found out Michael Jackson died.
Silverback answered so many question, in such in depth detail, I was always honored and flattered he spend that much time typing away his knowledge to me.
Its a shame his account was deleted, a lot of information was lost was with that account...sounds like he wiped it out in a pinch.
The man died like the great samurais, in battle with a guerilla grow. To the samurais this was the most honorable death...and he was definitely a warrior!!

Sad news indeed. I learned a lot from his posts. R.I.P. Silverback. You were one of the truly greats of the growing community.
Sounds like he found his passion in life , thanks for the interesting background of an early pioneer....
I have printed out the posts of this thread and given them to his wife.
She broke down crying.
She said she was initially shocked when he told her he wanted to join ICmag, because he had been so secretive for so long, but after reading the posts, she understood..
She told me that more than anything, he loved growing and talking about growing cannabis. As much as the growing, he found great joy and peace in being in the boondocks alone. She said the hollar he grew up in was remote and he still loved remoteness. She believes if he could have picked a place to die, it would have been in the peace of remoteness.
She was moved by the posts and again promised to repay the kindness by distributing the seeds. She was going to have 1 or 2 of his lifelong friends that knew which seeds were which come by and sort them out.
