popespliff Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 Hello all , Just retired from a life growing plants to pay the mortgage and bring up the kids. Now i can grow the plants i really like . Grew my first dope plant back when i was 16 ( over 45 years ago when the only seeds available were the ones that came with the weed we smoked. Over the past 35 years i have run my own Nursery and achived 7 RHS Chelsea Gold medals ....but believe me im far ,far removed from the Establishment . I have bred many plants over the years , some of which have won RHS awards of Garden Merit, For my spare time i hope to grow some Greenhouse or outside plants to specimen standard and will be talking to them Dailly. I have started some Dutch Passion Durban Poison and have some Skywalker Haze Auto to sow this Easter . Nothing fancy in the way of compost ,fertiliser or equipment this year just John Innes no 3 and some Miricle Grow 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only a very small seedling at cotyledon stage but it was there to see but no one did . It was surrounded by moss 17 minutes ago, Hubbabubba said: Welcome. that’s an impressive CV you quoted.

I have a lot to learn from the Weed geeks ( is this a phrase) 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m looking forward with baited breath for your contributions on here. I’m guessing your going to start crossing yourself to get what you want? IE Durban Passion…. I’ll get my coat Just don’t get too baked and take one to Chelsea not sure that’s the right clientele I would usually wish you good luck but you definitely don’t need it and I’ll be following to see how a proper grower does it, or should I say horticulturist! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stu sleeper 20vt Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 Welcome to the site @popespliff I am also a Chelsea gold winner but as part of a college when was at pershore many moons ago!! More of a park's and gardens type myself though been involved in the introduction of large scale plant production/introduction from clone when surfinia was first licenced from Japan into Europe in the early 90s. Enough of the cv let's talk weed! By your strain choices I assume you're into being high rather than Stoned? Have you grown pot successfully before? Ie know about light cycles and such? Im sure you will have everything you will need to hand,some airy compost,maybe a little q4 and uk420 on your side and you will be golden im sure.
