Anyone else grow a crop of weed plants this summer?

why? you think weed is evil? does smoking disturb your psyche?

Weed has nothing to do with it.

I was smoking it when you were in pre-school I imagine, if you ever were, but I haven't in a very long time.

I grew up out of that phase years ago.

any suggestions on a box? i assume you're building your own but don't they have the kits with lights, watering system?

or we could be talking about two different things. lol

I roughly planned it out in my mind. Basically it's just going to be a plywood box that is sealed and insulated. It will have some form of lighting (whether I go with a bunch of light sockets, or LED strips) and be controlled by an arduino or some sort of MCU. Might throw in a live web cam for good measure, and time lapses. Basically I will program it so the plants get like 16 hours of light per day to simulate summer. Will also heat up to like 25C or so. I'll have to experiment, and I imagine different plants may want different parameters.

I was growing a spruce tree in my house for fun last winter in a make shift cardboard grow box. It finally started to grow, then I did the mistake of putting it outside because it was summer and a cat peed in it lol. I will probably reattempt that but it will probably grow better with a proper grow environment.

Or I might get lazy and just never get around to doing it, like I tend to do with lot of projects. 😛

As for weed, I recently tried it, went into a full panic attack and decided it's not for me. Took several days to recover. Probably does not help that I was in a public setting so I was scared I do embarrassing things. Kept blacking out every few seconds so did not know what I was doing in those periods. In the age of cell phone cameras and everyone tagging you on Facebook it's a very bad idea to be any kind of impaired in a public setting. I do recall someone holding up a phone at me and laughing and someone saying "don't video it, just take a picture" but I was too out of it to tell them to stop.

I bailed from that party saying I did not feel good and took a cab home. The whole thing was just so messed up. Time was also very weird. A minute felt like an hour. Took like 3 days to recover from that lol, was insane. The next day I got a call from a cop for something totally unrelated, and I'm just talking to this cop about the situation while hoping he does not pick up that I'm high as a kite lol. I almost felt in a dream.

I think it would have been cool to try it if it was just me and a friend at home or something, but doing it for the first time in a public setting = super bad idea. I was also overly confident in myself that I would not really get that high. Supposedly you're only suppose to take one puff? Nobody ever told me that. lol

By the way I am not only a passionate grower (this includes also things like hot peppers 🙂 and as said I don't smoke "da herb" because of the same reasons you point out, bad experience in the past, but wife likes it for "medicinal reasons" for her anxiety, but I am also a content creator and "strain description writer" for several well-known European seed banks. All I can say is that some of today's strains seem almost "scary" to me, 25%THC etc...WTF....the last time I smoked was in the...like what...early 80s? 🙂 Even my wife who SMOKES.WEED.ALL.THE.FRICKING.TIME...has bad experiences with some strains and gets panic attacks.

You remember what strain gave you the bad experience?

Yea that experience sucks, good choice on your part, Back 70s to mid 80s I was a locomotive smoker everything I did revolved around smoking the weed, even month long backpacking trips I had a supply lol. later on I just started to feel uneasy about smoking and it got worse and worse, Maybe the strains were getting stronger or something in my body changed I dont know what, but I pretty much stopped smoking the weed. Still occasional I dab but no more Bong a thongs....

Yeah I think it for sure has it's medical uses. Especially in form of oil. I don't know what kind of strain I had, was just a joint we all passed around. Was from someone trustworthy so I don't imagine it was laced with anything crazy, and everyone else had it too.

I also kept gravitating to the food trays for some reason. lol
