Don't drink anymore, but a walk under the starlight used to be my fav. And if you've got a long walk home you're basically sober by the time you show up

I got pretty wasted in the woods once together with some friends while grilling and staring at the stars. That was epic.

I have no clue how I got home though. That's a two to three hour walk when sober, and I was drunk enough to only remember the first half hour of it.

But now I drink maybe twice a year, and very little. The stars look nice even when sober. And on Monday weed was legalized here, that's more like it for me nowadays.

Yeah, I pretty much completely stopped drinking after weed was legalized.

I just bought a bunch of seeds. That feels so surreal. This weekend I'll buy snacks and fly to space, and it'll be legal.

Tips from a fellow enthusiast:

1.) Get a GOOD light. (Checkout the Thinkgrow Model-H for example).

2.) Set up a good hydroponic system, and use timers for your water schedule. (I recommend drips system. And don't forget to flush with water at least twice between feedings to prevent salt build-up)

3.) Use as big of a pot as you can realistically get away with. The bigger your rootball, the bigger your plant and more nutrients it can take up.

4.). Get a GOOD carbon filter and no one will ever know your growing....unless you open your tent...

5.) Get a good tent! You want reflective walls, ventilation ports, cord access, etc.

6.) and lastly...and most importantly, get good genetics. Autos are great for a trial grow, but nothing will ever beat a good photoperiod plant - better yield, better quality, and massive, beautiful, photo-worthy colas.

Follow these basic tips, and I guarantee you'll grow something better than you'll be able to get at most dispensaries.

Thank you ๐Ÿ’•

The first ones I'll just throw onto my balcony. I'll check how they manage and how I manage to keep them alive before investing into a proper setup. But I'll get back to these tips. Thanks again ๐Ÿ’–

You and everyone else is going to be potting outdoors now that it's legal, and if there is a single male anywhere within a mile or two of you (which is pretty much guaranteed in the city), you'll end up getting pollinated. I would highly recommend you don't do that....BUT, if you do, at least grow two plants so you can compare if you notice any issues in one of your plants.

G'luck!

[-] RamblingPanda@lemmynsfw.com 2 points 8 months ago

Yeah, I guess you're right. I'm just too late, EVERYTHING grow boxy is sold out here ๐Ÿ˜…

[-] RamblingPanda@lemmynsfw.com 1 points 8 months ago

I just had a look at the light. That thing is way bigger than the tent I'm looking at right now. I guess I'll check for a smaller one.

[-] Steex33@lemmy.world 11 points 8 months ago

Same here! Some great memories come to mind reading your words!

Yeeeah, the cool night air as you ramble along and slowly sober up. Maybe stop to pee on a tree somewhere.

Tries to walk under the stars in the city: city light polution ruins it.
Tries to walk under the stars in the countryside: Starlink light polution ruins it.
