im 39, smoked since i was 15 and grew indoors for last 8 yrs. i have kind of grown outdoors for 30 yrs in one way or another. as bad as it sounds now, my old man use to take me to fields of weed when i was a kid, about 8 or so, sounds nuts i know but they were good ole boys that were up to nothing more than getting free smoke and making a few bucks, my dad and uncles always had 300-500 od plants every year. when i became a teen i use to pinch buds like mad and get busted when my mom found shake in my pockets. i use to run through corn fields with my cousins and they had weed growing all over it. ahhhh good times, good times.I have a lot of good memories about those days but sadly those good ole boys are either all dead or in rough shape these days.

Good morning Been smoking since 1967 or so. Hmmmmmm 47 years.. I probably bleed green. Grew poorly for a few years and now about 25 years off and on of awesome outdoor grows. And geez.....who knew it was also good for you. Thanks for the help MC members. I learn something new every time I look around here. Have smoked in about 30 states, no other countries.

I've been smoking since 1972 - only in my second year growing, with everything I know coming from MP. I've smoked all over these United States, as well as Mexico, Kenya, Australia, Philippines, Germany, Austria, Italy, Croatia, and I think that's it. Like they say, if you can remember the 70s, you weren't doing it right.

I'm 51 years old now. About 5 years ago I got the urge to try growing, and it quickly became my favorite hobby. I now have 2 small grow rooms that can both veg and flower. I'd like to build a 3rd grow room, but I don't have the space.

I grow only for myself. I never sell.

first grow was 84..dads back yard....got watered by the sprinkler twice a week.....we smoked it..not sure what it was genetics or anything...super piney all leaf really i think too long to remember
Next grow was in Colorado 91 in my closet with halogen bulb....two mutants finished out of four...killer weed..this one set the hook....
grew almost three years in that closet all sorts of equip and what not...grew some dank a hippie friend gave me some cuttings of in a 4th july fest...
Enter minion 1...6 year break...
3rd grow Phx AZ 99..outdoor light dep....off the hook...seeds supposedly from amsterdam etc etc..we called it "dirty sock"...best buds in my tiny world...(this is where i swallowed the growing hook completely) moved to beach in 02
Enter Minion 2....6 year break.....
08 or 09 rented a factory and went to town...grew schwagg really ..then found MP ...and started to learn and learn and learn....killed it in my mind...landlord kicked me out in very end of 10 or beg 11....
Now...back in the game again small scale since last year...indoor with RW and synthetics and whole shabang , trying to do some seeds this time and create a new monster with my own two hands...( breed a seed )...see how i go...
Wow so ...Im 45 years old and been growing and doing bong hits on and off since the big hair days of the 80's

I'm 51 years old. I smoked MJ a bit in high school and college. I've never used any drugs other than alcohol and MJ.

Fast forward to 2009. I hadn't smoked MJ since college. I got the urge to smoke again, and found some MJ thru my sis-in-law. But it was seed-filled junk.

I was a bit bored anyway, so I decided to try growing myself. I did the research, set up a small but good grow closet, and today I'm smoking every evening; my own stuff, free of seeds and insecticides.

And growing MJ has become my favorite hobby.

Been smoking since I was 14, so I guess I've been smoking for 40 years. Started growing 4-1/2 years ago when I was unemployed and needed extra money to pay the bills. A pound a month for 4-1/2 years, it's payed a few bills. Smoked all over California, Arizona and Nevada.
