Those plants got grown under a bunch of T-12 shop lights. Way too tall for that kind of lighting but I still use T-12s for starting plants and they grow nice to about a foot tall then I switch them to a 400W MH. Growing my plants and seedlings under a 400W CMH light right now and they're loving it and growing a lot faster than the fluoros.So what where the lights back in 78 when you first grew? I imagine they weren’t as good as they are today?? I would love to see the weed grow back then or the 60s even.
Your right there is loads inbreeding and cross breeding going on with seed banks trying to get the best strain out there mainly coming from the states (I’m in the U.K) Where I live you can get Cali weed at £20 a gram it is lovely lovely weed but £20 a gram is redicoulous. When I first started smoking when I was 14 you could pick a ounce up for £100-120 and it was still decent weed to.
Yeah CBD strains is medical based I’ve never ever grew CBD strains never really bothered with them, Do you mind in me asking how old you are? Where you part off the swinging 60s like the all rolling around in mud with Free speech people stoned to bits.
Talking about CBD strains Royal Queen Seeds have some brilliant strains in thats where I get all my seeds from, Ive never had a problem with them before there a brilliant Swedbank along with Sensi Seeds But I’m not to sure wether they do CBD strains.
Pot here is going pretty cheap. A lady I know dropped by a while ago and said she's getting good pot for $125Can/oz these days and we're way up up northern Alberta not a city like Vancouver. She had some Violator Kush that comes in a can with a peal back top like a can of sardines tho the can is round like a cat food can. Decent stuff.
My buddy gave me some Violator Kush he grew and I found 3 seeds in the bud he gave me. Checked with him and it's not hermie seed but a deliberate pollination with Strawberry Banana Kush so I'll be sprouting them pretty soon. The 3 cuttings he gave me the end of March are Hindu Kush, Dutch Kush and one called Ayahuasca Purple so those are getting big now and I have an AK47 girl that I grew out and re-vegged so it'll be ready to flower soon and then there's 4 Island Sweet Skunk x DJ Short's Blueberry and 4 Sebring's Revenge CBD seedlings. Plus a rooted clone of the Hindu Kush. Ther was a tiny branch at the base of the cutting he gave me that I stuck in some water for 3 weeks before dipping in rooting powder and sticking in a small pot of promix. It's growing good now.
I've been mainly growing sativa dominant strains for years and now up to my ass in Kush plants. Got many of my old faves I want to sprout and cross with CBD but don't want to bite off more than I can chew so pacing things out. Finally going to build an 8x4' addition to my grow room downstairs just for flowering plants. Have a 6' light rail so I can use that with a 1000W Hortilux Super HPS to light up that space.
I smoked my first joint around the same age as you but I think I was just 13 then. That was 1967 so makes me 64 today. Already applied for my old age pension that starts in November. I've been around the block a few times.
Got a 1970 Triumph Bonneville in high school and dropped out. Went back to school when I was 33 for 3 years to get a diploma in environmental chemistry. Couldn't make any decent money doing chem stuff and in 2001 moved to northern Alberta and worked in the oil patch until my health took a bad turn about 5 years ago and haven't worked since. Driving water truck mostly building ice roads or hauling water for oil rigs and when I quit was driving super B tankers hauling oil from well sites to pipeline connection facilities. Never did get a high school diploma.
Did all the usual stuff in that time as well. Had a couple kids, became a single dad when they were 7 and 9 and their mom buggered off, drank a shitload of booze and smoked a lot of pot. Crashed my 3rd Bonney in '83, broke my back then but still walking etc etc. The usual stuff.
Did the rolling around in the mud ripped on good acid, saw a lot of great bands in Vancouver and wish I'd kept all the ticket stubs cause we were always so f'n high when we went I can't hardly remember any. Alice Copper was one of my faves and there were so many more that played in the Coliseum at the PNE grounds and we went to them all.
