Hi RIU community, let me introduce myself.
I am a total noob to this. I am middle aged and I had never smoked, seen or even smelt weed until earlier this year, never mind grown any.
My wife has MS. She is in constant daily pain and has to take multiple prescribed painkillers every day. Earlier this year we went to Jamaica. Weed is so much a part of life over there it is untrue. We decided to give it a go, as we had heard it was good for pain relief. Oh my god! We shared a joint and for the first time in years my wife didn't need to take pain relief at night. We had a few more joints over the rest of the holiday and the same thing happened.
Back home in the Uk I wanted to try and get hold of some for her, but had no idea how to go about it. Nobody in our circle of friends & family does anything other than drink booze. Then our police chief constable went on record saying he was going to class people growing for personal use as a low priority, about the same as a parking violation. I decided to look into growing and when my wife realised I wasn't going to go all 'breaking bad' on her she agreed, as long as it was ultra stealthy - we have 2 early 20's daughters at home, with boyfriends etc, so a tent or room is out of the question. Nobody knows, nobody can tell, right?
After reading up on here for a long time, I decided on converting an old chest of drawers into a small stealth cfl cabinet while she was at work. I figured a bit of low quality weed is better than none. Didnt tell my wife until i had done it, and even looking for it she couldn't find it, so I passed the stealth test.
Bought some seeds from Herbies and planted a feminised northern lights seed into compost just under a fortnight ago.
If i can get my wife more than 1 joint to smoke without killing the plant, getting arrested or setting something on fire I will class it as worth while.
Planning on doing a journal as soon as I get my laptop back later this week, using a phone is a pain.
Sorry if this is all a bit long, It feels so good to just type about it, I am really into the stealth side of it so nobody else even has a clue what I am up to.
P.s. username was my reply after seeing this guy and my wife saying 'whats he got there?'
