Illinois/Wisconsin area growers

Go Sox!! gotta luv the midwest we have what are known as season unlike cali lol.Its not so bad this year it never even hit -60 or lower this year thats when it sucks.Snow is fun but some of the artic cold staying around is a hassle

New England snowed more, and because of the hills that made it really tough to drive around in bad weather...and I've only been in Buffalo Grove for a month now...but god damn I never remember it being this fucking cold back east. I just keep telling myself that it will pass and look forward to a California trip I have to take in a couple weeks for work. Can't wait to say the least!

Not to far from you its been hella cold since October/November. Supposedly the weather hasnt been this drastic for a long time. I mean, it has been cold of course, but its a lot harsher this winter I guess.

It has been a rough winter this year i dont remember this much snow since i was a kid. Does the blizzard of 79 ring any bells? It was awsome. So much snow and as a kid i was jumping off roofs into 10ft drifts no school for a week and snomobiling ect. now its just a pain in the ass lol.

I remember one winter as a young teen(88 89?..maybe 87)I made alot of money helping endless cars that were stuck in the snow...then we would skich on the cars we helped. I remember skichin on the back of a bus on irving park road headed for the hip(mall)during a snow storm of that yr.
good times!

Totally remember '79 - I was in grade school.
The drifts - sledding down drifts - forts in the drifts....

Now I get to relive it all through my kids - just getting to the fort building age.

Still a major pain in the ass to shovel it all!!!

79 was great I was little but old enough to remember and all the pictures and I got my I survived the blizzard of 1979 shirt still lol.I remember looking out the second story window at a wall of snow lol. Plow trucks tried to keep up got stuck had a nother to come pulle m out and he got stuck so they left the trucks lol 89 was a good snow year had about 4 feet at one time on the ground.Guess Im used to it as its always cold so this stuff isnt so bad. We only got a few feet this year and its been kinda spaced out between each couple feet.All my NY people come visit in the winter and just about cry since the east cost doesnt get as cold. They get more snow but not the cold like out here.lol Buffalo grove watch for one of my signs out there Single? Buffalogrove Singles sure ya seen a few of these along the road lol

Wow, Awesome! So many GREAT RIU'ers are around Chicago, that's why Chi has so much good good! Keep it up! You have to love the winters... it's in the citys bylaws

I needed to chime in here since WI Milwaukee area is terrible for weather also. This yr is the worst I have probably ever seen. I was born in 79 so I dont remember that one. i do remember when there was a blizzard on May10 one year in the late 80's or real early 90's. I originally came on here to complain about the weed in Milwaukee! I have had killer since October, no problems. I'm moving indoors. I'm done f'n around. I just moved into my new place. I have been studying for a good month, taking notes, watching every video I could get my hands on about indoor growing. Now I just have to order up some seeds and its on! Its gonna be a challenge, but after reading on this site for the last couple days I'm getting more confident. Its nice to know the midwest is on the map.

Glad to hear your getting your grow going thats awsome. I have also learned tons here so your in the right place one word of advice i can give is do it right but try to keep it simple. A 430w is ok but a 600 isnt much more $ i wish i had gotten that insted of my 430. also air is very important in and out. get a good filter for the out a good charcholl is best also stay away from the squirel fans they can be loud sometimes. i like the in line like the vortex type best. you are right to get some good seeds just get them from a good place ive never ordered them but i hear some places are not to be trusted. get a good soilless mix hold off on the hydro for the first few grows to get your feet wet the mix makes a good buffer for any fuckups you may make. last get good marijuana specific nuets. ive just started using advanced nutrients but a buddy has been using them and the results are good. not cheap but worth it in the end look at as an investment. the guys are a bit flaky there but what can you expext im still not sure why i had to pay more shipping when my shipment came but thats another post alltogether. i wish you well and anything i can do to help let me know.

what part of hawaii? I lived in hawaii for years mostly in hilo but i did a couple on oahu too. I do like the big island better more laid back and i miss the puna butter you should like it here in the summer but i do look back fondly on my days in the islands thats the place ill retire i think. I havent been in like 10 years so im sure lots have changed hell i bet even hilo isnt the same now. hell id bet it has tall (more than 4 floors) buldings now and all that shit.
