Its crazy to go back and examine our old contributions and thoughts. I'm always amazed when I think back to the first night I planted a clone. I had purchased six from a friend that his friend had received from a club. I put them in mixed and matched buckets with potting soil, then tossed them about 1ft under a 600w borrowed HPS in a closed room overnight. The temperature was 99 degrees when I awoke the next morning to check. I went from the emotions of an 8 year old kid getting up for christmas to a burnout flunkie in a matter of minutes. Only two of my clones survived. Yet here I am now, pulling plants with with nearly half a pound per, researching advanced biology realms, purchasing chemist sets and microscopes. I've dedicated massive amounts of time and energy to growing, and I couldn't be happier. Just like our plants, those of who are dedicated and persistant start off as a wilted cutting, taking our licks and slowly building up until that one day when we experience a glorious transfirmation, an alchemy from soil and animal shit to flowers of the gods, the fruit of knowledge and temptation (f*ck the apple!). Thank you for allowing this time for me to reflect back as well, I hope to see you here 9 years from now as well to bring in the decade of growing. I'm sure we'll have some interesting stories along the way. +rep to you as well my friend

Have you by chance kept a tally? I'd be curious to know how many grows you had during the year and how much you produced.

Could Charlie Sheen smoke it all in one night? Would the total fill a bath tub, or a mailbox?

I haven't kept totals... I only grow for personal use.. so I don't really keep that tight of tabs....I weigh it so that I know it's better than the time before or not.. then think of ways to improve set up.. and wait.
I've harvested likely 10 times in the year. I have been averaging between 1/4- 1/2 lb dried but it's been getting bigger lately..
Fill a tub? I dunno.. I guess it could have...maybe.. that's a shitload of bud.. but I have smoked a shit load of bud too...so... I may be close.

I'd say more than Sheen could smoke by himself... but if like Busey showed up - ya.. they could likely take the pile down.

Congrats on your anniversary mate!
