I've been lurking here for quite a while and have posted enough times now, it's time to 'represent' myself.
It's seems I've been 'in the shit' for most of my life!
I became romantically involved with Mary Jane in the rice paddy's of Viet Nam in 1970.
I had countless men breath there last breath in my face over there, I was a medic. I've been a medicinal marijuana user every since.
What I'm about to tell you will come off a little Forest Gump'ish. I have no reason to lie here, and you can believe this or not.
After a tour of duty in Viet Nam, I was discharged in 1972 from Ft Lewis Wa. Within a year I found myself working at Boeing in Seattle. Sheetmetal mech. in the facilities division working on the buildings/tools. This job gave me access to the entire place!
While wandering the roofs of the buildings one day, looking for a place to smoke. I came across a giant greenhouse! I went inside and it was full of all kinds of potted trees & plants. I found out this is where they maintained all of the lobby/office plants for executive row. This was the Boeing headquarters bldg. There was this "Mr Miyagi" like, Japanese gardener that kept 2 of everything & rotated them from the roof to the offices every 2 weeks. What caught my attention were two large stadium lights inside. He used them to keep everything flowering.
When I mentioned this to a coworker/smoking buddy who was an electrician in facilities he knew all about them. The gardener had requested them. They were old parking lot lights.
While sitting around smoking with a couple of more coworkers/smoking buddy's (who happened to be Boeing Engineers) watching football on TV. I brought up the greenhouse lites. After a few minutes of conversation about them, we all looked at each other at once, and immediately went down into this guy's basement on Mercer Island.
Within a year these two opened up Seattle's first (and possibly the worlds first) indoor grow shop. The rest is history!
Do you know where 'Northern Lights' strain came from? I do..............
I'll save that for chapter 2.
