A 21 year old that knows EVERYTHING about EVERYTHING!
The Greenest of green thumbs!
The super duper dope grower that shows all growers "whaatzup!"
*Warning prone to fits of stupidity, paranoia and is a total fucktard in general*
^that was me about 7-8 years ago.
I was young, overly enthusiastic and what I lacked in experience I made up for in luck!
I had a few grows under my belt before I joined the forum, one was a large 9 plant op that I was the caretaker for while a friend was out of the country but most of which were what I thought of at the time "super stealthy" as I'd grown them in my cupboard while still living at home with my parents.
Since then I've found out that they knew everything, thought "at least it's not a meth lab" and were actually taxing my stash on occasion.
After I joined I won a competition held by RIU for my "how to grow hydro" youtube video that showed a very simple Bubble bucket design that anyone could build for about $10.

The video not only won the competition, but also led to over 1 million views on youtube.
The competition prize was a big pack of mixed seeds from a seed bank that was a RIU sponsor at the time.
Living in Australia and barely out of my teens this was a huge deal for me.
Getting strains to grow that you actually knew were the genuine article and from reputable companies were almost unheard of back then. I was used to growing bag seeds or clones with "back yard" heritage that had been passed around a cross bred with dozens of other unknown strains.
So I started a new grow, the biggest one I'd ever undertaken on my own up to that point.

It was the most rewarding experience I'd ever undertaken in the world of cultivation, but I got into trouble and began to become VERY paranoid.
To begin with I was growing in a rental, and had to deal with constant house inspections.
Then both my girlfriend (now wife) and I got very sick and became unable to work.
Eventually my savings ran dry and I was unable to pay the rent. Which led to me almost being evicted.
The real estate came round completely unannounced while my crop was in full bloom 2 weeks from harvest, I didn't have a carbon filter, I didn't even have an ona block. My house REEKED of weed. And they sure as shit knew about it.
I panicked!
I thought the cops were about to burst down my door at any moment and throw me in jail.
I deleted EVERYTHING I COULD, photo's, video's... the lot.
I pulled everything, dismantled everything and moved it all to other locations.
Things slowly got back on track for me and although I paid back all of the rent I owed I ended up moving.
Since then I've not had another grow. I've actually barely even smoked weed in the last 2 years as I quit when I found out my wife was pregnant. Since then I very occasionally enjoy a toke while camping and that's about it.
But lately I've also quit cigarettes and alcohol and feel that I need SOMETHING to do in my spare time.
I've been looking into some tiny grows that people have managed to do inside of PC cases and I have to say I'm quite impressed!
I mean YES there is little to no yield out of these things but the meticulous care and love that go into growing them is amazing. I'm blown away by the fact that people can grow a plant in such a small space to maturity AT ALL!
So I thought I might come back into the scene and try out a tiny micro grow, just for shits and giggles.
Anyway, if you've read this far, thankyou. And keep an eye out for my new grow journal.
