Ok so here’s how I really got started growing ....
I was introduced to an old hippy dude called John now I say old hippy but he was really a squatter in some woman’s house whom had gone insane leaving her lodger john in charge of the property for the last 10 years or so .
Now you have to understand John lived almost like a hoarder even down to a rather large collection of bottles of piss secreted throughout the house but mostly up on the top floor .. (I never got to see the middle look but he assured me that’s were the woman’s things were kept and where the bathroom was situated.
On my very first visit John was very quick to take me to the top floor attic room past the various yellow shades of milk cartons to show a very naive me his amazing groom .. I was shocked and in awe of this aging smelly rocker come hippy dude and his amazing cannabis growing prowess. There was a carpet up either side of a what can and only will be described as a mattress .
Behind the carpets of wonder lied a 400w light with what must of been a vast sea of what I can only now describe as some very sad lookin girls in flower fed on a mix of piss and miracle grow .
And behind carper number 2 a metal halide nestled about 20 or so seedlings ..
Well fuck me I had met the obe wan kenobi of The grow universe and intently listened and hang on every word , after a few more enlightens visits where he informed me that he would regularly get a kilo from one plant out side but was bored of doing this same one over and over ..so I thought great here’s the perfect chance to get help with a grow so I proposed to him that I would head to my local head shop at my expense and purchase some amazing super seeds for this endevour(super lemon haze from greenhouse ) .
I was so excited and watched this seed grow over the course of a few months chatting by the gas fire that was still plumbed in but just yanked off the wall to access the old coal fireplace to burn the 9 ft tree from out the front of his dwelling just moving in in a bit at a time all the while hoping not to burn the Ouse down ..then we got to the day where me any my best friend John we’re taking Down the best most frosty plant he’s eve grown and it’s lit into a cupboard to dry ....
No contact from John or a while now so I just pop over to say hello and maybe get the one that was ear marked for me out of the five we grew , I was met the back door by a not so happy John with a branch in his hand who proceeded to tell me that I was an idiot for thinking to allhis hard work alone would get me a smoke and not to trust anyone .
John was an old man I resisted the urg deep inside to fold him like a pretzel and walked away never to return ...
Thanks John without you showing me how to fuck it all up I wouldn’t have sent the years online educating myself in places like this to be able to grow things like this
