Greetings from the Colorado Rockies, I am a female grower, pretty new to all of it. Just shy of a year, but am absolutely loving it! I am growing indoors and outdoors this summer. Just thought I would jump on and say hi! I hear ya about not being given the same respect that the men get, it sucks. I guess all of us women will have to work on changing their stereotype of women growers and thrown down some dank plants. After awhile they will get over it, maybe!Okay, so this is only my third summer here - and my first year of growing entirely on my own (spent the first two with a great mentor) - but I'm noticing the lack of female representation in this area. Sure, the ladies seem to make up the bulk of the trimmers and 'helpers' - but not actual growers.
Last time I was buying supplies (bamboo, nutrients, etc.) - I asked a store employee about one of the products I was thinking about purchasing. He smiled at me, told me that I probably didn't need the product (without answering my question) - and as I was walking away, chuckled with another customer - "Isn't she cute? She thinks she knows how to grow." Yeah, I'm a wuss. I just walked away. I shop at a different store now, though. Luckily there are plenty of them in the area.
Anyway, would love to hear from some other female growers out there. Feeling sort of alone out here in the woods.
Happy growing!
