I know there's a bunch of you old fucks like me around, so let's see the oldest plant picture ya got.

This is from 1978, before Ron and Nancy declared war on us, developed and printed at a Fotomat. The guy at the window says, "Nice plants, could I do that?" As you can tell, Type IV Hybrids were around in the 70's. These came from plants that were grown by the Zion Coptics in Jamaica, brought into Miami via Haulover Cut by the Cubans and distributed up and down the East coast. At UF, it was known as Gainesville Green, Mean Green in Bayside and Howard Beach.

Notice the adjustable light stand ladders in addition to the adjustable plant stand boxes as well. ;)

The largest and oldest-known living plant on Earth has been discovered in Australia. Posidonia australis is an ancient and incredibly resilient seagrass that has been discovered in Shark Bay, Western Australia. It's at least 4,500 years old and spans 180km of shallow ocean.

Reminds me of my first grow when I had a shop light setup on cinder blocks and would add blocks as the plants got taller. It really made me appreciate the crappy tent I have now. I've only been growing since 2017 though so no cool old pics. Let's see you hippie growers in your bell bottoms, come on.

I was born in 55, so older brothers and sisters might have been hippies but me and my friends were _heads_. :D

I'm in awe. I used to fantasize about the phototron in college in the 80s all the time. It was in High Times magazine and the phone number was 1-800-Got-Buds for the company. I can't remember my own number today but I still remember that one lol. Super cool pic!

I was born in 1980, and remember seeing them in my dad's High Times and wanting one when I was like 8.

My Uncle Dick in 1977, and an older pic of one of my other family members, but Mom doesn't remember which sibling.
I had pics once of Uncle Rod, real Hillbilly with Hatfield/Mcoy beard down to belly, sitting on front porch of log cabin in overalls, with a double barrel 12 gauge, and weed as far as you could see. That was in North Carolina, I'll poke around a bit for it.eee5f814eb3ad601911cc9a80c602d89.jpgf3e91aba07c06e54e742cd9031442544.jpg
