Growers that don't smoke

Farmer's Hat said:

I started smoking when I was 14, and stopped when I turned 25. I am now 27.

I am the only grower/breeder for North West Organic Nursery. It is a tier 3 legal i502 operation. I have overcome the temptations. I am focused, and determined to stay sober until I win a MOTHERFUCKING CANNBIS CUP! And when I win my first cup, I will celebrate by sparking up a joint of the same product that won me that cup.

Working with thousands of plants will give me a great advantage on selecting the proper phenotypes. Pheno hunting is what I enjoy the most. There is so many different phenotypes to choose from, and the number increases every time I hybridize a strain. I feel like a little kid at the candy store!

This season I found a plant that smelled just like sweet tarts... its fucking ridiculous! View attachment 3302364 View attachment 3302365

You are living the dream my man, how far do you think you are from having that winning strain?

Don't corals grow pretty slow? For some reason I have it in my head that they only grow like centimeters per year... Marine bio is a personal area of interest for me so you have me intrigued. I have a freshwater tank right now but have been wanting to make the switch after seeing a friends salt tank, they're just filled with so much more life.

Also completely agree with growing being more addicting 100%. Funny how that works, the drug isnt the addiction

Actually corals grow surprisingly quickly! I had to prune back most of my corals or they start to get out of hand. I would then sell off the cuttings called frags. Just like plants in the coral industy you have a mother colony that you take cuttings off of to begin growing other colonies. Another neat aspect of corals is that not only are they photosynthetic they are also carnivorous. For example I would feed my coral whole silversides (small pre packaged fish)

I want sweetarts now, damn.

I've never been a big smoker. Pretty much single hit incapacitates me unless it's ditchweed/reg/mexican brick crap that goes around here.

I started growing because the opiates weren't cutting it. Was up to oxy for pain. Personality went to hell, still hurt and was too much in the opiate haze to do much. Live in the south with strict punishment and I had no connections. Figured it was safer to have a personal grow of med grade stuff than get busted trying to buy the crap around here. So I use it when the pain is too much or after several nights of insomnia.

I've been cleaning up this last month so I can start job hunting.

I haven't grown in well over a year. Stopped when my led went out in mid summer and just never started back. Had to toss those plants. Still have several quart or pint? mason jars from prior grows in my micro cab, that's how little I smoke. Lost a couple family members and never started back up. Now with a failed business and life stresses I realized how much I missed having my little cab growing. I'm addicted the excitement of new strains, of the endless experimenting that can be done. Some reason none of my other plants hold the same kind of feeling

Should make a thread titled "Smokers that don't grow" hey @bradburry

My dream!

I work as a Fire Medic and thus get tested regularly. I literally take a frozen bag of urine for my jump bag every shift just in case. I've had to bust it out twice now... Indeed it's a major drag, but stopping burning and gardening? Laughable..

How do you thaw it out and get it ready at work? Crazy!

That's cool what got you into growing then? Money or Love...?

money

I do not smoke at all .. Use to til my late teens til 21 ish . I grow for the love of it . It's awesome to watch the girls get big , try new methods of growing , caring and nurturing them , breeding etc . It's a never ending learning curve that I love . Every girl is different ( I grow from seed ) and although I have no children , they suffice as my babies . I know a lot of recreational users and a couple people who could be patients . MS , anxiety , insomnia , low appetite are some of the symptoms I help with and have seen personally the direct benefit of marijuana . I love producing the best stuff around in my area ( non legal state ) and blowing the California "brick " that is referred as "work" 8 months old and compacted . Once upon a Time good weed . I blow it out of the water . I sell pretty good stuff . ( black widow , white nightmare , NL , cotton candy , afghan KUSH , strawberry blue , liberty haze , uk cheese , to name some for pretty cheap 250-275$ oz to everyone . I hate the greed in this industry and on the street . I know strains like these go for 300$ plus and upwards I've seen 400$ oz of what I laughed at . They couldn't tell me who or what it was . Just smelled fruity and green .Ohwell the little income I get supplemental and I enjoy helping others without even trying it . Sometimes I feel like when in dealing with my girls I catch a contact high ! That count !?

I stopped smoking weed around 7 years ago when my first child was born, so because i dont smoke i thought i would give growing a try

Hell ya that counts !
...and some great sounding strains too ( strawberry Blue ?)
Great post !

Don't be your own BEST customer is what I say!

I was a big smoker but not anymore on occasion ill do a pipe load from my garden. you tend to out grow the urge to light up but I do like to try to out grow in the garden. I grow a Lavender that is so smooth on the lungs more on the Sativa side I think. I am a care giver here in Seattle and I like to see my fellow Patients enjoy the fruits of my garden. Being a legal State to consume pot is a dream come true, I have been growing since 1972. and I will always have plans and visions of my next grow.

When I started growing to supply my mom with her meds I didn't smoke at all. I used to smoke every day when I was younger. Now I smoke at night after a long day at work, it help me wind down and helps me with my recent anxiety issues.

Can I come intern for a month lol !

Funny, I wouldn't have expected that so many people grow. but don't partake. I sample my buds, but that's about it. I have managed to grow strains that agree with me, but still I don't like to be medicated. I get no enjoyment from it at all. I do enjoy growing and sharing though. It's great when a friend says he has this ailment or that and I can toss him a 1/4 for free.

I'd like to find more people in need. People are still just catching on to the power of this awesome plant.

Its the sweet smelling ones that tempt me the most. I nibble on the raw buds sometimes...

Pfft ive been smoking pot longer than i havent...shame on your guys lol

I dont smoke. I grow. Smoking is too much for me.

I do test my stuff because I give it away and you should know what your giving someone but thats it. So smoke at a harvest but I dont enjoy it. Usually I will give it to some chronic aficionados that I know so I can gauge its effects, taste, high, length of high, the burn out, and overall quality. Its too hard for me to know what the quality is when Im not a regular daily smoker. This doesnt always work out though because most people just say "ohh its the best and shit I havnt had stuff like that forever" but I am pretty sure people kiss the ass of the free weed giver... Im not fucking stupid. I usually have a pretty good idea, but I need the professionals to help me dial it in.

My love is for the plants, and making the best hash I can.

Edibles on the blue moon.

and I love to smell hashish.

WHY ISNT SMELLING A FUCKING OPTION!! lol

oh yea, I smell hash all the time bro.

Toking makes me feel really shitty. I used to be an ounce a week smoker but now I can't handle the stuff.

I love everything about cannabis, except for using it hah

Sundays harvest:


I occasionally toke when i'm on medical opiates because it aides to the relief and the opiates keep me..euphoric.. instead of paranoid as shit
