Hey guys. I'm 55 and started smoking when I was 13 and growing a couple of years later. But I didn't really start seriously until I got home from a hitch in the Navy. That would have meant my first season was in '84. I grew every year until 2004, when I took a 11 1/2 year break. Last year I got back into the game.

And since I'm growing in the woods, my bad back is always on my mind. But Thursday when I was packing in plants and soil mix, I was thinking how glad my knees were that I wasn't stomping on a shovel. I even named my long walk soil mix the "I'm too damn old for this shit" mix.

That said, I'm glad to be able to get out and spend my days in the woods growing the plant I love.

Great thread.

Taking resumes lol. Not sure if the youngin's have it in em to handle the workload, God forbid they drop their IPHONE in the water :o! Get so bit up by flying bugs that your oozing blood, then stay awake for 3-4 days trimming before the plants dry up and the trim pro don't work. Fun times :).

That's what snow machines and 4 wheelers are for. I use a boat and oddly enough my bags of dirt float till they get to the mounds. Fuck I'm giving away my secrets :).

Sure are a lot of eager beavers about so let me clarify "I'm not taking resumes" lol. I'd have to know you for at least 20 years before I taught you the ways of the force, and showed you my spot. I just hope all my hoses's are still there under water lol.

Just turned 62 and got my first ss check.

Started growing in the mid 90s-----got tired of corporate politics and turned my hobby into a new source of income (lots more $$ and a hellava lot of fun).

A~~~
I started growing to sell at 14 ;). I learned a lot from my older brother, the one with the Satans Choice patch ;).

There is too much traffic on my part of the river for me to grow near it. I do have some spots picked out on a creek that I'm thinking of using. Most of mine will be rainfall only though. I have upwards of 75 holes dug, so they will be Darwin patches. Survival of the dankest. I have a few patches that I will try to pamper, but most are on their own once I get them in the ground and through their first couple of toppings. I will be going back at sexing time. Can't have them deciding on their own who is going to lay down with who.

I use a fairly long creek that only has access from lake side or helicopter, partner stays out fishing while other works, been doing it that way for years and I feel pretty comfortable talking about this cause I really doubt I'll be doing the swamp thing, it's to fucking much work but there is the life style I would like to maintain and my stocks have went for a shit ..... So I just never know :). I've found that here leaving them to their own usually doesn't work out to well because of rain, or lack there of :(. Never really worked out as much as I tried.

I'm in it for the seeds. I've bought a couple of decent Z's for $130 each, so it would be easier and just about as cheap to just buy smoke. I don't like the risk of dealing with the dealers, so I'm getting my buddy to buy it for me for now. {I cut him out a 1/4 slightly below cost for his trouble} And I hope my few pampered plants will yield enough that I can stop worrying about buying anymore. I'm trying to breed a strain that will thrive on neglect and still be fire. Last year I got the fire part of it down pat. Still working on the neglect part.

Lol, my lifestyle is thriftstore chic. I try to dress poor, including the cars I drive. It just makes life easier. Because of mine and my wife's place in the community, lots of folks come by with their hand out.

Later on when I get to retirement age I will think about a little income augmentation. The scariest thing for me about getting old is running out of money. Being 55 and having less than $500K in the bank is sobering.

Hey older men are better lovers! I always dated older men they know how to please a woman's body & actually care if you cum or not
My women get 3:1(mostly because it takes me that long to finish these days!) I love to please a woman!
