I'm done with growing

I just harvested my last crop.
I gave away all my other plants that were just weeks from harvesting.
Plus, I gave away all my mothers and clones.

I'm tired of growing. It takes away alot of my freetime.
Plus, it's very difficult for me to take a vacation.

first thought is "WHY???"... but i can understand where you are coming from.... having a good grow is very time consuming... i can see where it would be nice to not have to worry about it for awhile.... so are you back to buying pot from the market, or are you good for awhile??? what is your plan there??

quit trying to move in on my clientele

thats a pretty big move... i dont do the biggest op in the world but would feel strange not to have one going

wow...to each his own. but that would be like me saying im giving away my daughter because she is too much trouble. my garden provides me with so much more than next to free herb. its my batcave, my fortress of solitude, the fucking thinktank...its where the days stress melts away as i tend to things that always make sense.

plus if i paid retail for the weed i smoke i would spend about 250 - 300 a week.....fuck that!


sorry to hear BJ....i hope whatever you choose makes you happy, good luck.

That sucks man but with drip systems, timers and co2 tanks that can be put on timers plants can take care of themselves for a week or 2 without being monitered. Maybe in the 60s and 70s or something it was time consuming cause they didn't have the technology and had to experiment. I'm done with buying weed and trying to steal it. Sometimes I forget to look at my new plants for 3 or 4 days only to find out they have gotten bigger on their own. I love starting back my grow. It's only time consuming for big ops which I don't do anymore thank god. Good luck though.

To each their own. You have to do what makes you happy. You can always pick it back up in the future.

You asked why.
Well, It's mostly because I'm tired of putting alot at risk, and getting little in return.
I don't know if you remember a thread I started awhile back that I was having trouble trying to unload my crops.
Well, that's part of the reason.
I have spent hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars on something that I can never really be publicly proud of.
I've always wanted to be able to show-n-tell my grow to the people that really care about me.
But I knew if I did that I would be putting my livlihood on the line.
I never thought when I first started growing that it would consume so much of my life.
It really sucks that I can't just get in the car go somewhere for a few days without having to worry about my plants.
It's affected almost every aspect of my life, to the point where my plants always came first.

I want change in my life.
I want to stop smoking it for awhile.
I don't want to say for good, because that just sounds phoney.
I want to start doing the things that I stopped doing when I started growing.

I'm gonna keep my grow room just the way it is for awhile.
Maybe I'll get back into it.
Or maybe I'll get into growing something else.
One way to look at it is. I grew for a long time and never got caught.
I'm gonna get out of it while I'm ahead.

Sure, I'm gonna stick around.
I think I'll make a great consultant on growing.

or a good buddy in tokentalk

to each his own and whatever makes you happy. Stick around though

you should just stick to growing some for yourself.

as I've said in your last thread, and I'll say it again, selling will not always be profitable for the person just growing in their spare room.

eventually, nobody will pay for anything over 200 an oz, maybe even less if people really start comprehending how much it truly costs.

I mean sure, you can say there's a risk, and that risk is worth some money sure, but it doesn't account for the crazy prices of weed. and that, is part of your problem with selling, your in the middle of a recession and people don't want to pay a shitload of money for a little bit of weed.

but yeah, hopefully you grow for personal use in the future, no point in really doing it for any other reason.

damn that sucks........but you will be back lmao

I totally hear you. Good luck and hopefully you'll come back but on YOUR own terms. Cheers!

When I first got started into growing, that's all it was for.
For personal use.
I got tired of paying the obscene prices for weed and
having to deal with the bad elements of society in order to get it.
I didn't know a guy like myself who lives in a good neighborhood.
I always had to drive in some kind of crack neighborhood in order to get it.
I remember one time that when I went to go get it, I got pulled over just for looking like someone who doesn't belong in that neighborhood.
I remember telling the cop that I got off the exit due to an accident on the expressway and
I couldn't find my way to get back on.

When I first started producing decent weed, I just smoked it with my friends. I never really gave it away unless it was for a birthday gift or something.
Or I used it in trade to get services done.

I started selling it for profit when I dumped a whole bunch of money into my grow op.
I bought better lighting.
I bought a Co2 system
I bought better nutrient
I even drove all the way to Ontario, Canada to get really good seeds.
I think I spent close to a $1000 on seeds.
I mostly was just trying to get some of the money back that I put into it.
I didn't need the money.
I make decent money with my job.
I even felt funny having to charge for it from my friends.

When I first started selling it, I remember that I only charged like $50/quarter. That was about 5 years ago.
I didn't start charging the everyday regular street price until a really good friend of mine said that I have the best weed around.
Meaning that; There was no question or doubt when you bought from me if you were gonna get what you paid for.
In fact my prices were still a little bit below the average.
When people bought from me, they got killer weed for middies prices.
Plus, I really wasn't making a huge profit.
I never kept books.
But I was making about as much as a decent fulltime job.
Basically I was putting alot at risk and getting a little in return.

Your right, it is the economy.
Alot of people are out of work.
People just don't have the money.

Plus, I'm tired of the game.
It's not fun anymore.
Actually I'm sick-n-tired of being high.
I know...That sounds wierd.
But it's true, I'm sick of being unmotivated.
I'm sick of not caring about anything.
I'm sick of being a drug dealer.
Plus, I'm getting too old for this shit.

When I told my friend that I'm done growing. He told me, that by Feburary everyone will talk about the weed they used to get for really good prices.

almost sounds sad.. i see where your coming from.. my girl always wants to go out of town, or my homies wanna go to the beach...i always say "what about my girls".. among other things that keep me home i.e. my dogs
