@SmokeAL0t - I appreciate all the info you've been dropping in this thread
+ rep, if there were still such a thing.
Mate, you are a freakin legend, the info you have given me (and everyone) in this thread is very much appreciated
I started out as a regular scrub and was graced by fate to form a relationship with Karma earlier than perhaps I deserved to. It was his trust in me that opened the door with JJ (Top Dawg) for me and more than likely, soon will be working with Bodhi, too. Had Karma not taken a leap of faith with me (can't really discuss the details of what kicked everything off), I wouldn't be where I am now. Also - I'm not Smoke A Lot seeds - I'm "RandomMan," from a different forum..... I created this account before I knew Smoke A Lot seeds was even a company. I've even hit up Breeder Brad to offer this account to him and hit up Sunni, here on RIU, to request a name change (to RandomMan)... but they don't roll like that... can't name change here.
Not sure why Breeder Brad hasn't replied to me about this account, but if he says the word, I'll delete this account and create one with my known handle.
Moving forward, I feel like I hit the common man's lottery and can't explain how privileged and humbled I am to know these guys on a real level - they're my fucking heroes, really.
Karma trusts me to keep eyes on the forums he doesn't have time to frequent. I've put hundreds of hours into his and JJ's website (JJ's not yet public) and am HONORED to drop some Karma knowledge on everyone. I think the majority of anyone reading this thread would feel the same way I do.
Words can't express how grateful I am to be in such a position - this last year has been a nightmare in my personal life.... my green endeavors are just about all that's kept me going (that and my small family). When I need Karma to answer a question for me or need personal support he's always there. Just now getting to know JJ but can promise you - they're both amazing people. I'm fortunate to know Karma's gear really well and can only hope my endeavors with JJ (and likely Bodhi in the near future) will follow suit. Such good people - I feel very undeserving. Just today, Karma told me I'm part of his crew. I'm beside myself right now, overjoyed, to say the least.
It brings me great joy to share my internet knowledge with them and help raise awareness of Karma's kindness and better yet, his amazing gear. Aside from that, it was his superior work, his selection of various flavors, that led me to him. Before I approached him about working with him, it was his BADASS gear that prompted me to reach out to him. I truly think his gear can hold weight with anyone in the history of the game. My passion for gardening is second to none. I'm super glad to be able to shed some light in this community as to how proper he is and how legit his gear truly is.
Anytime y'all have a question, just let me know. If I can't answer you with near certainty as to what you're needing, I shoot him questions and he ALWAYS answers IMMEDIATELY. This shit is like a fantasy for me.
I can't take any credit for anything I've done..... can only pass the buck to where the credit is due. Trust me though, Karma gear is second to none. His personality matches. I know this isn't a Top Dawg thread, but I know Karma looks up to JJ and admires him the same way I do. When the time comes for us to launch JJ's site, I hope to be able to help in the same way.
Sorry for the tangent but I cannot sit back and act like I deserve any credit here.... I deserve NO credit - Karma deserves it all. I can't believe he puts his trust and faith in me the way he does.... I just can't believe I deserve any of the love. Give that to him - show your support his direction.
I'll do my best to represent Karma, both as a breeder and by knowing his beliefs, to the best of my ability. Forgive me if I ever mention something that's wrong.... there's so many strains (cultivars) to learn about, I think I'll be learning his stable for years.
I appreciate the kind words and am very flattered to read whatcha wrote - reckon that's why you see this wall-o-text now.
Karma on, my friend! You WON'T find a single strain from Karma that's not fire. His selection is so fucking impressive. Hope one day to join his staff in the garden and learn from my hero.
Good shit, sir. Thank you for being kind enough to say whatcha did... it just took me by surprise.
Blessed vibes in all your endeavors, sir.
Much love to anyone showing support to Karma. Big things coming in 2015 - just wait to see what he has in store for us all.
Rambling over now - sorry bout that.
