Back in 09 the green rush exploded here in Colorado and as a guy that had been gardening since I got my boyscout badge for it in the late 60's and had grown our herb for many years I decided to come online and try to show new medical patients how easy it was to grow. My first grow here was as Riddleme and I grew a 22 inch tall plant named Tilders that yielded 1 oz and a half under just 97 watts of light for a total cost of less than $100.
After that a few new growers started following me and with all of the info now being spread on the web, I started doin experiments to see for myself what all the hoopla was about? In most cases I "discovered" it was a bunch of forum driven mythical nonsense.
But hey, I was that guy tellin people their plants should not stink unless there was a problem. The ol pics or it didn't happen could not prove this so I invited forum members to my home and sure enough they posted he is tellin the truth his plants don't stink.
I took that even further by havin folks over to smoke my herb and all of em posted rave reviews. I've had visitors from several countries (including Australia) and from 17 of the United States. I have shared seeds from strains I bred with all of em and to this day they all still grow em. I had a 20 year grower over that posted online that my buds were not magical or mystical but that they would change your mind about what you thought you knew about pot. He put my CTF in his all time top 10 and said that the Durban Poison and Pineapple Express I had grown was the best he ever sampled.
I tried to show folks that the herb could be better, that growing top shelf was not difficult. I've spent years doin this and in the end it seems there are just not many folks that care? Tis true I never put all the info in one place but rather spread it out among a few popular forums. And there actually were folks that sought them all out but alas very few.
Last year we had the 1st ever Ridfest where over 40 growers gathered to share their buds and talk growing, it lasted 3 days and in the end everyone decided my gear was the best, hell 6 of em said my buds were better than dabs lol.
So now it's time to wrap it all up and retire and as a parting statement I would like to leave you with one simple fact Everything I have shared with you is true if only you abandon the black market mythical crap you too can have better herb !!!
I have enjoyed my time online posting in these forums and I wish you all the very best !!!
Keep em green
