~Star~Crash~ All & Everything

My earliest grow goes back into the 60s when I found some seeds in a chunk of hash, it was a pathetic attempt at growing. There was no information on cannabis growing at first. Hash was dominant, there was no weed in the very early days where I lived . My grandfather did teach me about vegetable and flower gardening, I was about 12, he was an organic gardener. He would take me in Fall Fairs, to compete on veggies and flowers.

When I moved to BC in the early 70s, that's where weed was dominant over hash . That's when I cut my teeth on guerrilla gardening. The seeds from the hash proved to be suitable to BCs climate and were accidently bred into another hash plant strain. Years later would become the building blocks of my best strains.

The other day you talked about quality, it took a while to produce my own seed. Eventually producing quality bud. In the very early days people had no idea you could grow primo bud. They all thought it had to be imported. That changed as word got around.
The biggest advantage was to grow bud that could hit the market first, by mid to late Sept. The best bud always came later, very late Sept to early Oct. My best bud was somewhat confusing, you could lose your train of thought in the middle of a conversation and forget what you were talking about. People loved it though. Eventually other growers here about each other and start trading genetics. I had friends who were international travellers. It all just fell into place.

Then indoor/lights and skunk happened. That changed it all.

Sellers were taking outdoor BC bud all over north america but indoor became better all round. At first, quality outdoor was being sold as indoor, until buyers became savvy. After a while nobody wanted outdoor anymore, even if it was good. Buyers were using loops to count the glands, indoor usually had a higher gland count per mm than outdoor.

That's kind of a summary, there were fun and disappointing grows over the years.

i was just saying something like this to a friend of mine few weeks ago. On how we clone, and start or make new seeds. then grow those plants out to flower finish and into bag. sold an or smoked off. 100-130 days later we tear everything down, clean, rinse an repeat. Over an over.

Or any farming in general i guess. An not many professions or careers are like this. Its a whole another animal. Kinda depressing in the end. Unless its a seed,.... all you created goes to ash. You really dont have anything to really really show for it. And its becoming less an less appreciated.

Its not like you built a house, built a deck or an addition, or a child's play ground. tiled a floor, built a boat. Or created a club for people to gather at with same interest. Or maybe processed some paperwork. Fixed a car.

It is nice when people appreciate the flower an or oil. But in the end there's not much to hold in your hand.

Tear it all down, and start again.

then u say "hey, remember that such an such plant, man i wish i still had that" But atleast that deck you built is still standing

It wears on you.
