Tropical Growing

[Highlighter]

Chaman, bro, I feel for you. It's a delicate balance, no doubt. I have compromised on my growing due to my wife. I'm itching to grow inside again.
She doesn't smoke, nor understand my passion. "Why can't you just get into growing orchids?"
Jah, just not the same. The herb is connected to my spiritual essence, encompassing all I hold dear.
We all live with our own illusions...

Chaman, I'm sorry to hear of your problem. I'm in a similar situation because my wife is a physician. At the moment, I just keep a mom indoors and I give clones to a friend who finishes them in his backyard. We split the harvest. Neither one of us ever has more than two plants.

 

[Dignan]

I'm in the same boat, except I caved in to the wife. I can see her side of things. It's all guerrilla growing for me now. Only YOU know what's the right decision, Chaman. Wishing you all the best.

Thanks to the persecution of our herb, we're all pussy-whipped.

 

[Dignan]

Yes, I know this is a little OT but as I'm sweating my balls off hauling 75 lbs of water on my back in 100-degree heat, I always laugh (and cry) that I'm only doing it because of Prohibition. I mean, c'mon folks... cannabis grows itself. If we didn't have to hide and be stealthy and covert, there would be no challenge at all. If all of us could just plop a seedling down into the most ideal 8x8' space in our yard in terms of sun and water and convenience, we'd all be up to our ears in FREE medicine!

But instead, it's all about ventilation and odor control and electric bills and duct mufflers and hauling water to remote locations and ducking when helicopters show up, and camo paint jobs and checking your photos for identifiers before posting them to share with your friends.

Sucks.

sorry to hear that man. women can be real killjoys.

sounds like maybe buy a few acres in the wilderness and build a little meditation hut. a spot away from those without balls eh? decent compromise.

 

[bonecarver_OG]

thanks soo much everyone jeje man I'm still laugh'n about the pussy whipped jejeje well we got a date today jeje gona take the family to see transformers and hang out all the rest of the afternoon, and got a weeks vacation that we'll be togther start'n tomorrow so looking forward to it..have time to talk about things some more and "plant" down new ideas....but you all would never beleave whats happend!!!

Im serious too....the the guy that lives agianst my greenhouse just started doing a second flor, or is reenforce'n his roof cuase hes got some dudes on his roof all day soldering and puttign together a metal frame...walk'n over my greenhosue constantly !!!

I'm mean like holy shit !!! if I'd had stay'd i'd have alot of 1 month +/- old bushes a few flowering plants in there too, that they would have most defenitly seen....shit happens for reason, dude I couldn't agree more !! and I feel bless'd to have had the good karma in all of it too in a way...feel lucky in a way.

We been think'n about selling for a while now...to live closer to San Jose originaly according to my wife, jeje but shes had dreams of a big place further up the mountians too where you realy don't have neighbors...the next farm over, holmes are realy far apart...and no phone or electric lines to be climb'n up on...many things we'll be talk'n about these days...even a shed with lights have been in my plans...jej not the number one plan, but its there...and I had totaly forgotten about guerilla !!! jeje i'd done that before but the native plants had over whelmed them and they'd disapear. jeje id need a kick ass gps and only sow sativa seeds but not a bad idea at all for now...but jeje damn, its just that there is nothing like going to your garden everymonring with a morning fatty to start the day right !!!

we had been seperated before too...and didn't last too long before we where back togther agian jeje so cross'n my fingers.

We are looking into going to talk to a shrink too about help'n our comunication probs and help our hard deaded ways.

Thanks agian everyone honestly its very kind of you all to have come by giving a positive note to things.

(my dad told me, if you get a divorce...your gona en up find'n another woman whos gona drive you nuts agian, if not even more !...it's what they do...if she don't drive you crazy check to see if shes a man)

 

[Chaman]

if my nieghbor is make'n a secound floor im screwd out of a few more hrs of light after mid day....thats just not cool too, i'd have to relocate the greenhouse and would be a good chance too make it right and invest in them real plastic covers that won't let you see whats inside...just a green blur of the many types of plants id be growing.

big investment...but if it brings peace it's worth every penny.

lol Chaman..... yer Dad might also mention somewhere around ten years of marriage = crisis..... or twenty or.....

 

[DimeBag65]

its good to see you back around chaman, its always been a pleasure reading your threads and watching your grows. really hope things work out for you with the neighbor situation and you can find either a better location in the yard or are able to block the view without sacrificing direct light. Ill be back around to see what happens this year.

an other bummer about greenhouses..

just realized today when i went to check the site where my house is getting built and i realize the house itself makes a massive shade in the evenings where i was planning to put my greenhouse..

now i got to think about another spot thats going to be safe and close to the house and out of view of the public..

maybe im exadgerated trying to get around 10 hours of direct sunlight? but as far as i see it more sun is better.

peace

Chaman, mi hermano
We all love and care for you whether you grow or not. We all know you can grow the best sativa on the planet. I was and I am willing to take the long trip there just to smoke a joint and hear your voice. You are a man and you have man responsibilities right now. Two children and wife you love. You have to weigh your macho passion to your familys' security. It is a horrible choice to make and I truly feel for you. I never grew bud the whole time my wife and I were together, and we both have a passion for growing exotic things, and she loves her orchids too. When my wife and I separated I got my own place and a girl friend. I was so happy that I could finally grow my own weed and I told her that many times. And like you, I was high when I met her. Well in the course of our one year relationship that ended last month, She became very demanding of me. She told me that she did not want pot in her life. I felt that since I provided Everything for her, she had no worries with me like before, that she should accept my decision and let me grow. This was not just one argument, it was many. And her feelings were that she was such a trophy I would keep her instead of the grow. We fought and fought and one day I come home and my grow was destroyed. She had cut down half my plants, including an unreplaceable pheno mother that developed. Then she picked up he phone and ordered me to kill the rest or she was calling the police. I am already in trouble for drinking and driving and if I were arrested I would be ruined. I had to kill all of my shit while she watched. Well, I got rid of her after the plants were completely gone. It was a very mean thing I did, but I had her put in jail for assaulting me and got an order from the court so she could not contact me. I gave her her clothes and not much more. All the neat household things we bought as a new couple starting out I kept. The point is, she was just a girl friend and I felt that she was completely informed on my plans to make my own meds. I do not like having to go out and buy from people, that in its' own is a criminal act, and even if they ever legalize mj it will never be legal to buy on the street.
You have a family to raise, you are 29, one day the children will be gone, or at least adults and you can continue growing some of the finest herb on the planet. We all know you and know you can do it. You have nothing to prove. This is nothing about being pussy whipped, it is a responsibility that you have under Jah.
I think you should still be around here, with your friends, and still stay in contact. We all like You, and the bud you grow is good too, but it is you we all care about. I would even like to email you from time to time since getting to know you, we could take care of that in PM if you like.
One Love

Hey Chaman,

[Chaman]

Medjool,

Dimebags, hey realy cool of you for the nice words, apriciate it indeed jeje I took a bunch of pics a few days ago of somethings that ya'll might find interesting jejej specialy since I know my lady has no idea about this web site...we only had Overgrow on my favorites so I can be free to post up and show some pics of somethigns ive been up too jejej there is always a plan b and stoners need all the plans we can get...be'n we never know which one we will not forget.

Bone, jejeje man do it ! jeje each minute of ligth matters if you ask me, got too look for the right spot I'm already seen about getting a big ceramic pig to stuff with lose change and bills till i fill it up for buy'n the right plastic covering and framework of a proper greenhouse.

Blessings,
Chaman

ur rigth but i think however i place the greenhouse in my plot of land (wich really isnt too extremelly big) its pretty much be the same deal ill try to get as much morning and mid day light as possible i will get minimum around 8 hours of light it shoul be ok

im checking out plastics who refraction the light so u get a more difuce but more effective amount of light inside the greenhouse lots of interesting stuff out there like the double chamber plastics etc that would also make it easier to grow in winter here

keep inspiring us!

irie!

Chaman friend,

im very sorry to hear it,all my best bishes, love and compresion are with you friend. Not always women can understand our passion for the plant and live with the paranoia that some countries' repression produces.

Im so lucky to have a girl in my life which understants my passion, work and dedication for the plant. She's even in the attitude to learn so i can not be happier. I love you my little sweety!

We should thank them for resist the paranoia and other things our job can produce, but i'm completly with you, we should keep growing if we love to do it.

Im sure sun will come after the clouds friend, keep the spirit and the good vibes. Good things will happen for sure.

Im still enjoying your tropical columbian gold red hybrid, very accelerated menthal weed! I love her and she's close in clone form.

best wishes friend.dubi

 

[Highlighter]

we should keep growing if we love to do it.

Amen, brother!
