Enough about old times, lets talk about what going on now. I'm just now starting a grow of my own hybrid. I call it Spiritual Haze. It's my cross between Spiritual Punk and Super Silver Haze. Both have Northern Lights in their genes. Should be an interesting combination. Trying to get the best of both. I really like the indicas but my heart is with the sativas that I grew up with, Any other oldsters growing? Let us know.

First green, seedless pot I saw was called Gainsville. I remember the first time smoking gold, spicy Columbian like it was yesterday, what a trippy powerful high!

This is an interesting book you guys might enjoy, kind of dry reading but lots of information:
I bought some real deal Columbian gold back when i was 14. It was almost bright yellow and what a spacey high!. Best i had ever smoked at that point, in 1980.

Then came the BC hydro...all lime green with red hairs and no seeds... we called it "lava lamp pot" hahahahahahah

And by that you may guess that i am in the old farts club..

Pretty sure everyone in here is growing something. I've been mainly indoor for the last 3 1/2 years or so, many years of outdoor guerilla grows but the work got to be a bit much. Now I do a couple of outdoor per season in the back yard mainly for the grow. As far as genetics go I got sick of paying through the nose for questionable beans and have been focusing on creating my own crosses. It's more fun and has generated a few gems. Out of 13 plants I have flowering right now, 10 are my own crosses

Here's one that's taken about 2 years to find the pheno I was after, strongest weed I'm running, psychedelic high, virtually no ceiling, great smell & taste of blueberry/hash. Started this one with Blueberry x Jack The Ripper. Have an on-going F1 male that stinks as much as the females when flowering.

Then there's just for fun chucks like this one that is looking & smelling like a winner. This is her at day 33 of ~60. Took that F1 stud and hit a Blue Dream I've had for a while, looks like one of the first 6 seeds will produce a potential keeper :)

Me and my brother started in 79' , I lost him in 87', but I know if he could see my indoor grow he would think it's pretty cool.
And yeah I remember lids of Colombian for 35, good ole days. Also blonde hash, lemon 714s, purple microdots.
Most of view all I miss my brother, the drugs was just......... well it kinda feels empty now.

The kids now days don't believe some of the stories we tell...

Actually found this in a box packed away since the 90's.
Was just brickweed scrap from a friend (miss you Jim)
Decided to pick the berries and as you can see about
half were worth looking at (not really) but might do a
retro pheno hunt or such...

I still dont understand why our American friends bought the mex stuff. Seems to be all seed and no strength
And i can see when people say pot is more stronger now than it was is due to this and the American experience.

Being Australian our pot was and still is mainly Asian Sativa's and has always been pretty damn good.

The only time I purchased Mexican was because there was nothing else haha
