hello im just looking to meet some people im not scamming dont need or want anything just someone to burn or bullshit with once in a while i have my own fictional product 7 kinds own gear and all that i just dont know anyone in the area (*mcminnville my town -forrest grove - salem) i moved out for health care a year ago with just my family and neither of us have any extended family so really cut off when you go from south dakota to oregon and know no one.
my family and i are upbeat like to go and do just about anything just got every hunting fishing shellfish park license i could find lol i cant do much of it but im gonna teach my boys. im married with four kids so if you have kids and wanna hang out the kids can play mine are ages 4-8 so we do lots of outdoors stuff and grill out / burn out haha (adults of course).
im disabled and it prevents some activities but nothing anyone can see unless im having a bad day or an episode and we are both fit active people. i am a disabled veteran and am unable to work and am basically going stir crazy since moving here a year ago being sick and not able to drink alcohol/clubs/bars everyone else social circle doesnt afford many social opportunities haha. i just bought a really nice bow but dont know how to shoot so would be into going out and giving that a try. i love oregon its beautiful and has everything i could ever want in a homestate but really am getting bummed out cos its so hard to get out and meet like minded people plus ptsd makes social stuff not so fun for me.not that im a weirdo or freak out i just get antsy around tons of ppl.
im 30 and am legal i am prescribed thru the VA who is federal so ill be legal on a federal and state level in a week and it carries from state to state haha but the VA wrote on my meds to smoke 5x daily and i have a vets helping vets green card good for any MMJ state but i want to cover all my bases so going the extra mile and getting the ommp card. just did the checkup at the smiling leaves clinic so legal in two ways next week haha. paid 175 at the clinic for the checkup and am paying the other 200 to be legal next week. after that i may or may not have an imaginary few half gallon jars from a possible last fake harvest and a get to know ya burn session could be arranged my treat. also i have a $10k grow room that was left to me with the house it is equipped with 2x 1000w eye hortilux hps, i added 4x 125w 4100k cfl for the sides and below, and 2x t2 250w 6500k side lites this is for 6 matures that i finish with vaulted ceiling so height is not an issue one sativa may have been 8 1/2 ' tall, got ph meter yesterday with ppm as well so most of the tools and work was done for me. i painted the floor with flat white and used mylar on the walls.box will be all flat white.
the room itself is 10' x 24x i grow in half at this time about 8'x8' although i could fill the other side up if i wanted or could, its a half of a garage separated from the parking half and completely sound proof. there are octagonal parabolic reflectors on each of the 1000w, also included was a 1500cfm (i think) huge carbon filter when needed and electric heaters, great ac/dehumidifier a split unit with fresh air intake for co2 exchange and no exterior condensation, i can remove the intake when i swap to a co2 regulator/sniffer unit. i run as organic as possible i use the 3 fox farms lineup of ferts a couple times when they first swap to flower but all organic and the fox farm big bloom which is the only of the 3 that is organic before the flower shift also two weeks just water before harvest. love the black strap once or twice a month also.
i have like 100 10gal pots (again left here prolly use for great porch garden as the dirt is still in them and im huge into heirloom seeds and eating my own veggies and fruit) i had been using those really well made pots but i am going to be using 10 gallon smart pots this grow which im starting monday when i drop off the check, ive got my beans looking at me taunting me haha. i may stop and grab some clones when dropping off the $200 at the clinic never used them but i hate germing ive done 40-50 and lost 3 but those 3 still bother me.
the veg box im building is for spacing plants to stay in legal limits and heights i can let them get bigger or hold them back and top them or a perpetual setup from seed/clones. the dimensions are x 3't x 2 1/2'w will have the regular length florescent lights x2 with those good grow bulbs and 2x 250w 6500k cfl on either side all light proofed small cpu fans for exchange so it can be in that room and i can blackout screen them so they wont emit light from inside and the light wont hermi my flowering babies (or i could do 15 autos and run 20hr cycles in the box all under 12" tall, and 6 flowering in the room be 8' (pull 8-9' trees every time so its realistic) some of the fake last grows i have done have had colas wide as milk jugs and long as my forearm). i can post pics but that seems dumb there are a few in my previous posts but the room has been massively upgraded.
if this gets some likes and responses ill start a journal im running some great strains, but i will post pics on this thread of the room and the in progress box. i think with the box im gonna do one side no shelf so its 2 1/2' from the lights, the other side will have a screen 'shelf' for smaller guys. ok this got really long sorry hope someone read thru lol but its out of boredom only so much i can talk to kids about and the wife works 10 hrs a day so yea i dont even do the internet chat stuff much if at all i just use this site alot and thought id give it a shot it would be sweet to meet someone who knows their stuff so we can compare notes and tokes haha. i would never sell imaginary product but if someone is in the area and wants to hang out and see the setup, there is plenty of room for someone to throw a few of their own in there i only grow for myself so there is lots of extra room not looking to charge anything would just want you to know what your doing and maybe gimme some tips aka ive read all the topping fiming and id like an experienced grower to gimme his personal accounts lol i like christmas tree style myself but i always try something new each grow.

well shit this got real long sorry it is just i got alot on my mind i wanna talk to someone about im not weird or a freak i was airborne artillery in the army and homecoming king and my wife is gorgeous of course id say that but just saying im a normal dude that just got sick and my friends are 3k miles away and i have no family so knowing someone in the are would just be amazing and like i said it could be reciprocal let ya use space materials shit whatever i can help with i will. also great with any electronic device can root softmod hardmod superuser so i can hook anyone in the area up with better than geeksquad service and would be happy to do the work gimme something to do lol.
kk take care all hope to hear from someone lol down to email, FB, and phone whatever is good for you.
and again sorry it was long just reaching out to the community i enjoy.. so bring on the flames haha

Hi Vitol, welcome to Oregon, and Rollitup! I'm glad the weather is making you feel right at home, feels just like South Dakota, right? Nawww...... Please feel free to laugh (affectionately) at how the residents of the entire Willamette Valley completely fall apart when it snows -- just not accustomed or prepared for snow here. Don't they know they're supposed to hunker down with a warm fire, netflix, hot chocolate/schnapps, weed, and a fuckton of munchies? Doy.


You'll have to keep us posted on your grow. Starting a journal might be a nice addition and will help to keep your head and hands extra busy. I'll give you a holler if I'm heading up I-5 (I'm in Eugene), and we can find a way say hello in person. Especially on a day that you've caught your limit of dungeness crab. My favorite.

Take it easy, and best of luck!

My dogs and cats disagree -- this is SNOW to them. They're very distressed by all this, as well as the people of Eugene (and further North apparently). People really just spazz out, when they should either s l o w d o w n, or stay home (if my cats can figure that out, why can't the human population?).

Sorry about your wife's car, that's really messed up. I'm glad you've had more positive Oregon experiences, to balance out the bullshit. Coming from Marin County, California, I've found Oregon to be incredibly friendly and laid back. Even the "rich pretentious assholes" here are nice (if that makes any sense).

As if my neighbors don't think I'm weird enough already, I've got to go start the barbeque, and get more snow for the slushee margaritas. That's what California transplants DO on snow days.....:-)

I'll message you when I'm heading North again, or just for the heck of it.

sweet sillystring im always home so anytime you head north gimme a shout i should pm ya my # so you can gimme a call if you are heading out. i agree with the people here being laid back and nice tho even the biggest dick has been the same as the nicest hick in south dakota. snow slushies now the kids got something to go do, nah the boys will find yellow snow and think its lemon flavored. my neighbors prolly think im nuts too im never asleep and out on my porch like once an hour just looking at the neighborhood while i smoked (i quit but i still go out and wander lol) they see me at 8am then again at 3am or any time of day one of them actually asked me if i had insomnia.

Well if my health gets better and I'm able to by next spring; Don't know if you have ever played Disc Golf but this is something that is big here in Oregon, and not expensive to get into. Check it out, and maybe we can hook up for some fun times. Also most that play are smokers so it very much a link minded bunch.

My girlfriend and I just moved to the Eugene area and would be down to burn one/throw some discs!
Eugene is a long way from where I am. I'm in the Beaverton area, but it's not out of the question. We can see when spring rolls around.

Welcome to Eugene! My favorite places: Brail's for breakfast, Beppe & Gianni's for fancy/expensive/excellent dinners, Trackside Automotive for car health, Hot Mama's Wings (Tuesday nights) or Mulligan's (Wednesday nights) for local music/open mic, Armitage for the dog park, Kiva or Sundance for alternative grocery stores.

I've got no info on disc golf -- I *think* there's a group that plays out by Mt Pisgah, but I'm not sure. The music folks that go to the open mic nights might know. I wish you luck, and I'm sure we'll meet up one of these days -- it's a small town. :-)

(disclaimer: Mulligan's is really gross looking, inside and out, and it always smells kind of wonky, but it's very welcoming to newcomers. My diva friends hated it there, and my mellow/earthy friends loved it.)

zildjian, you're in PDX right? where do you golf at? ever play Pier Park??
I'm in the Aloha\Beaverton area. Played Pier many times, along with McIver, Timber, Greenway, Trojan, Champooe (spelling), many many others. Timber is my Favorite as it combines the best of Mciver with big courses, and Pier with all the Trees. :)
