@eprotege Welcome to AFN. Your dad was not wrong. We grew weed like tomatoes or corn in the tomatoes or corn back then. I grew some pretty good sensimilla 50 years ago but today's bud would make them look like LARF. Farming has changed. Science dominates farming. We are still farmers fighting the same battles with Mother Nature we just have some better tools.AFN is an incredible resource for me. Most of my growing knowledge prior to finding AFN came from many conversations with my uncle who grew in the 70s. He’d talk about the bad old days dodging the border patrol (he called them “blue angels” because of the Broncos they drove) and interactions with Texas Rangers (the cops not the team).
What I’ve found most interesting is how wrong he was in some of the things he said. it’s understandable because he was having to learn from his own experience 50 years ago. He died a decade and half ago from alcoholism. He picked up drinking during the 80’s after trying to get a better job that drug tested. He had many ailments that caused a great deal of pain. I think all the time that if weed were legal, he’d still be alive today.
I’m grateful that there is this great resource available where knowledge about how to grow this medicine can aggregate and be curated by knowledgable folks. THANKS FOR BEING HERE!!!!1!1!
Alcohol the worst hard drug I ever partook in. Sorry about your dad.
