Six years ago in 2016 I decided that I couldn't afford to keep buying dispensary cannabis and so the decision to grow was made. That was not the first time though, I quit drinking alcohol in 1987 and took 22 years off smoking cannabis. Two bad knees got me smoking again with an occasional schroom adventure in the mix, no alcohol, as I don't have an off switch.
I had a few grow failures prior to 1987, all outdoor gorilla grows: 1973 next to corn field in Iowa, but under some trees, planted in May back to California and harvest in August in Iowa, not seen all summer, survived; 1978 apartment patio, fence hopper grabbed my plants, fail; 1980 backyard in Orange CA- 7 bag-seeds, some from new interesting Skunk smelling and one sativa pictured below. I cut every sprout on that plant to smoke and ended up with a jar of flowers, little flowers.
The other 6 just didn't want to grow up, short, big fat leaves, this purple tint, squat.... oh my god I wish I those seeds, I was clueless, probably some of the first almost pure Indica, pulled them up before they flowered.
1980 backyard grow, I tossed the skunky indicas out!??
