(10,558 posts)The first time he grew some AMAZING Blue Dream plants which produced some Amazing smoke. The past few attempts by him to grow Blue Dream turned out disappointing on both levels. We have our fingers crossed for him for this most recent attempt with that strain, he was able to get his clones from someone who guarantees that they are directly descended from that first batch and we want to see those AMAZING plants again!
FWIW, I am 60 and have been a small time grower since 1989. It has indeed been a long strange trip culturally speaking. We have had grow shops 'supplying', (polite way of saying GOUGING!!!1!) the local growers for decades here in Western Washington. Recently I discovered that I could get bales of a preferred growing soil "Sunshine Mix #4" from a local farm n feed supply store at 39$ a bale, the grow shops still sell it at over 50$ a bale (last I checked). When I was making my purchase from the farm store the young lady who took my money wanted to know what all the recent popularity for this product was about so I told her. After decades of living the secret life, it felt very VERY strange telling her what the bale of 'dirt' she was selling me was going to be used for, how basement pot growers loved the stuff, what the 'grow shops' were charging for it and if she would be so kind as to NOT raise prices for us hippy lookin types. It feels weird even admitting to it here too but I no longer fear as I once did.
