    That sucks. If it weren't for some of the guys I know and us putting our heads together, disagreeing and telling the other what we thought and why to support it none of us would have learned anything. I have a couple buddies though that quite honestly and I've told them to their face, they are retarded when it comes to knowing what to do and understanding why something might be happening, though you tell them what to do and BAM! Ballin' and consistent. Me on the other hand I'm good at diagnosing things and helping, I think i give better advice than I apply myself. I've got tons I could improve on and know that, and know mostly what I could improve on. Probably some things I don't realize as well. But for me this is more less a hobby, something to keep me busy, out of trouble(as ironic as it seems), and to keep from dealing with shady ass people and paying someone else for something I could do myself. I'm the same way with my vehicles and everything else. Why pay someone else when you can be self sufficient. Well ok not totally self sufficient. I don't make my own lights or anything just like I don't make my own parts or tools, but I can be innovative once in a couple hundred blue moons. LOL


    So did you meet someone else from TX? I just can't think of anyone else but us, the xxx who was in OK, xxxx was in OK for a while as well.

    Well talk about security busts the one that comes to mind and beyond obcession was the gk meet and greet. I keep my grows mostly on the hush side and dont give out information in public.


    Its something to talk on this forum to members but a facinateing thing to meet them in person. The greet was a rare opportunity to meet some of gk's finest and I dont regret it.


    Some on this forum have become everlasting friends that I talk with from time to time off this forum over the phone.


    My alltime biggest regret was the get together With Mrastro that never gave me a opportunity to meet a great friend before his passing.

    Sorry Skunky. Open section of GK and all.....I edited out reference to any specific living or current GK members.


    Let's keep direct reference to members to a minimum folks. Thanks.


    :redbong:


    Digging the direct honesty. Figured you guys would jump my shit and beat me for stepping out of the green closet. Nice to see I'm not the only fool willing to put my life in another growers hands.


    Until last night the only growers I'd met are GKers or people I'd actually introduced to the hobby. Only one of them knows where my garden is and it'll stay that way for the foreseeable future. Just can't seem to allow quite that level of faith in most of my fellow humans I guess.


    Similar to Jugg, the guy I met last night carried all the risk. I brought nothing and left with nothing. He has no idea who I am outside of a first name and a mutual contact. Quite honestly, I don't think I'd have been willing to expose myself any other way. Says a lot about me I suppose, but them's the breaks. What was refreshing though was being able to talk face to face with someone who actually speaks my language.

    T6 are you saying there was a bust a GK meet n greet?


    I'm starting a Cannabis Cultivator Union. We are Brothers. We must stick together.


    JCIO that is one funny story! Was she hot?


    Giving people advice is a funny thing. If they don't ask for it, don't give it. If they do, try to help them. I don't like self-aggrandizing pompous I know it all this is what you should do behavior. A good way for others to learn from me is by hearing about my mistakes so they can avoid them. And we all make plenty.


    I can't stand blowhard assholes who think they need to tell the world how to live. Got NO time in my life for that.


    Res it IS refreshing to talk shop with other growers.

    No not at the first greet. The following year at the second greet we were invaded by cops. Pretty funny they arrived by boat on a lake blue lights flashing and crashed up on the bank. Almost shit my pants I had a ounce right between my legs sitting by the fire. Good fucking thing we were in colorado they never said a word about the pot. Only claimed we were in a part of the lake that was no camping. Never had cops come on a boat before.

    You let people know this side of you, and most of them will do just that. Even people who aren't/weren't doing any real growing will try to tell you how to run your garden.


    Fuck the naysayers and the know-it-all douches! Sometimes, you're better off without people constantly trying to add their two cents. It's one thing to advise somebody on what they think is the right call in your garden, but it's still your garden. If they cannot respect that, then they need to be purged.


    You definitely find out who your friends are/aren't in this line of work. If they think they can do something better, they'll tell ya so. Or they'll take shots at you and then claim they misspoke when you picked up on their insults. They even get offended when you pick up on those shots!

    If your hopped up on coke, she was! :roffl::roffl::roffl: I can't really say anything bad about her. She was not hot stripper type, but not a bad looking woman either.

    When I started here there were more Brits, more Scottish ppl even,so I'd always did it on a person by person basis. But on the American side... Iv had seeds,cookies and vaporizers arrive at my door. Iv built up rapports with several Growkinders and theres several Gk members who are on my Facebook therefore privvy to my everyday shit. My fb is SMALL., family, friends and a scattering of Gk buddies. Iv never had any reason to doubt anyone iv met on Growkind and iv had Skype sessions, middle of the night phonecalls and " correspondence " with several members past and present. Growkinds made me some valued friends. :jj:


    Forgot what the point of the thread was :roll:
