Don't get me wrong I like doing it its a great hobby. I've just been at this for several years without a break I just stay home all the time cooped up. Just wanted to know what do you guys do when or if you get burned out?
I hear you this is my 10th year of doing this without a break so believe me I know exactly where you are coming from. It feels like you are chained to the grow and you are in a sense .. it's just part of the gig.
yesterday and the day before that was spent working cleaning glass on a bunch of magnum xxl hoods and fixing some leaks some needed to be re taped, etc. Then clean the walls with physan and the floors , then today most of the day was spent pressure washing flood tables and reservoirs. Next is pumps and whatever. the 2 weeks prior was spent doing a big harvest .
It is a job and somebody has to do it. Finally the op is clean and ready to fill. Then I can do the last transplant and I finally get a break for a couple weeks of maintenance of a few hours a day, then BAM I got another op ready to comedown and all that has to be repeated elsewhere.
This shit really can give somebody cabin fever, thats why I always like the name cabin fever ( the seed co.) << I know exactly where that is coming from.
I know of a lot of people who are serious grow hermits. When that happens it's not forever just stack the paper and the paper better be lookin right too this shit is a sacrifice and a commitment I don't care what anybody says, anybody who says different hasn't done it for very long or they do it on a small scale or they have plenty of helping hands making it a smaller task. If you run a decent size op and stretch yourself thin it is a big commitment thats just part of the gig.
Me personally I exercise that is the best thing I can think of + I was doing that anyways before I started. I am happy with that.
work. grow. stack paper. repeat. finally in a few more days I should be all caught up and on auto cycle with a little more free time at least for a few weeks .
I can think of a lot worse situations to be in , I consider myself lucky and I am happy with it, and anybody who doesn't like it fuck em nobody said they had to like it !
anyhow theres my rambling on the subject its only periodic but for the most part its a gravy job..
