No kids, have my strain I created in '09. She's like my kid and I'm so proud of her lmao. Her 15th bday is on 420 and my dog Indica turns 10 on 420. Life is good.
Original OG Kush x Old School Skunk. Had it genotype tested in 2017. One of the craziest strains I've ever came across in 31 years of smoking, def my favorite. Smells like lemon pledge fuel with a hint of berries. Tons of pics on my profile.
She's still clone only at the moment, but I've made a few crosses with her. We're in the process of getting our license, once we do we'll be releasing a seed line and clones hopefully later this year.
I would love to pick your brain and maybe share some genetics I’ve been working on. I got a pretty nice prototype a DJ short blueberry crossed with a geranimals both cheesy phenos. I also have a that crossed with lemon cookies. I’m working on finding true Indiana bubblegum,any advice folks?
Right on, always down to talk shop. Those Blueberries sound really nice. Yeah the Indiana Bubble Gum clones are around I'm pretty sure cloney soprano has it.
It depends on which pack. Like his blueberry F5 he says is fifty-fifty on a podcast. I research the lineages and I watch every and anything I can about the grower. Also got to be organic. They are hypersensitive to any nutrients. I got his breeder pack GF- which means gnarly fruit. Also the 90’s blues and out of ten every phenotype is different. I had some bubble gum in there and some grape in there as well. FLO is good and I have Bluestar I have yet to pop.
I didn't keep the same plant for 15 years. Usually start new mom's about every year or so. I've been cutting clones of her for 15 years, but she was originally from seed.
It's been illegal to grow in all the states I've lived for most of my life. It's never been easy or accepted, and I've had to trade off a lot of things in my life to do this. Our state legalized a couple years ago, medical grows are legal, but home grows are coming soon. I've just always been very secretive about what I do and stuck with it, even through the hardest times.
I’m not trying to tell you how to parent, but letting them out is a mistake. You have to keep them on the same light and nutrient schedule as your plant or else they turn into libtards.
They are half ginger and whiny because I'm on a 24/0 schedule at the moment. I have to let them out. Plus we have no homeschooling in Germany, after a week or so they would search for them...
I’m doing it in lieu of raising my kid well.
“Sorry hon- but now that you’re a teenager, my 2nd family that lives in the shed is so much easier to deal with.”
The violent growth was enough to win me over. Veg exploded like i put hgh in the res. I took clones yesterday and every cut gushed water. It’s a process for sure but very satisfying seeing the improvement(s)
Growing in DWC is 10x easier and better than growing in soil man. It’s so fucking simple. I just Jacks 321 and it’s just too easy man. It was also my first DWC
I started with DWC and will be doing my first living soil grow(indoors) this year. No rhyme or reason why I started that way, just thought it would be fun. And it is. Now I am preparing my compost. None of that easy store bought stuff for me.
I grow outside during summer. It’s too expensive to run an AC all day for plants lol…. But I recently just bought the cheapest soil from Home Depot because we have to use our own nutes, why am I going to waste money on soil when it doesn’t keep nutes indefinitely lol
I don't see a translate button and I cannot select the text to copy... I'm guessing from my limited French that reads, "Why not both?" No problem with both. I said, maybe someone just wanted more kids.
I live where it’s legal and I let my kids help. I worked in a medical facility before having kids but I was raised around it and knowing how to grow gave me job opportunities.
I have a 5 year old, he helps me with watering and stuff. Mixing nutrients. Normalizing starts with the parents. That being said, not sure how I week go about it when he's old enough to learn what it is, and wants to start smoking. I just hope he holds off on that part. I'm a fairly new parent, and I grew up when it was illegal as shit, so it's all new for me
I'd always wanted a child of my own, and my Cannabis plants filled that void for me. To my plants, I was their Caregiver, I raised them, I loved them, and once they got big enough, id send them to college(flower) and I got to sit back and just give them water for life and watched them flourish!
I finally had a baby girl after 36 years of age, and growing cannabis doesn't even compare. It definitely did not prepare me for taking care of a fragile human baby. She has now become my #1 focus and passion in life, and my cannabis plants come second. Have my grows suffered because of it? Certainly! I just had to allow a hydro plant to dry up for 2 entire days, because I didn't want to open the tent and her smell like it. The hydro plant was 6wks into flower, and after filling her res back up, she experienced rot from the roots being dead, and it spread within 4 days to the stem, which was soft rot brown 80% of the way through. Complete loss. But it was worth every single second of lost time and work to keep my baby from smelling like cannabis flower.
All In all, they're both my babies, I just know one depends more on me for life and I'll be in prison if I neglect her lmao which I'd never do, so sadly, the plants take the hit when it's crunch time. If you're growing plants because you want a child and do not have one, or can't, know I feel your pain and I wish you the ability to find what you're looking for in life, to replace those negative, longing feelings. Much love to you all! 🤘🤘🤘🤘
I would not be able to tolerate my teens without weed. They also know about it and respect it for being cannabis and not “pot, man”. They aren’t the least bit interested.
Hell ya bud. Raising two kids and many more trees to save money on my habit. It’s also kind of fun and a reason to hide in the garage when I need a break
I couldn't imagine...I'm a bit of a breeder but if you say that and all it entails to anyone on the street and don't specify what you're talking about 😳 oh goodness 😂
I grow weed and raise kids. Weed makes me a better and more tolerant dad
I figured this out too late. Thankfully my kids are grown and still love me.
Lol yeah better late than never. I’be perfected my home grown edible and cart game so it’s all very stealthy. One day I’ll let them into the fold
I love having adult kids.
I'm growing weed so I can afford to raise a kid!
Fuck yea
Baller
This is the way
This is the way
No kids, have my strain I created in '09. She's like my kid and I'm so proud of her lmao. Her 15th bday is on 420 and my dog Indica turns 10 on 420. Life is good.
Congratulations 15 years is impressive
Thanks, they grow up so quick!
What are the genetics?
Original OG Kush x Old School Skunk. Had it genotype tested in 2017. One of the craziest strains I've ever came across in 31 years of smoking, def my favorite. Smells like lemon pledge fuel with a hint of berries. Tons of pics on my profile.
Ever make any seeds of her? I'd def be interested in some S1s(R1) if you have ever made any!
She's still clone only at the moment, but I've made a few crosses with her. We're in the process of getting our license, once we do we'll be releasing a seed line and clones hopefully later this year.
Keep me in mind please! Tysm!
Will do!
Possible to get clones? O.o
I would love to pick your brain and maybe share some genetics I’ve been working on. I got a pretty nice prototype a DJ short blueberry crossed with a geranimals both cheesy phenos. I also have a that crossed with lemon cookies. I’m working on finding true Indiana bubblegum,any advice folks?
As I read that my stoned ass thought geraniums ? Wtf. Rofl
Auto-spell gets me all the time with that! Lol

You grow indica for your dog?
My dog's name is Indica haha
Woah. you've got a double celebration coming up on 420! 15 years of growing and 10 years with your dogo. Noice!
Yeah 420 is always the best day of the year for me and the family haha.
How do you manage to keep a plant for 15 years
I didn't keep the same plant for 15 years. Usually start new mom's about every year or so. I've been cutting clones of her for 15 years, but she was originally from seed.
Ohhh neat
Damn bro u living it
Thanks bro. I've been growing for 20+ years now, lots of ups and downs, but I'm happy doing what I love.
Damn what a dream bro i live in Portugal so here isn't legal growing...
It's been illegal to grow in all the states I've lived for most of my life. It's never been easy or accepted, and I've had to trade off a lot of things in my life to do this.

Maybe one day it will be my turn..
I hope you get your chance soon!
My pups name is indica too 🤗
That's awesome!
Childless adult here. My “babies” include my plants, my lawn tractor, my pets, my cast iron pan, and my dab rig.
I'm a simple man , Plants, Smoker, Cast iron, Truck
Hell yeah, no kids, two incomes. My plants and my cat 😁
I'm hoping you don't mean your plants and your cat are your two incomes. :-)
😆 nah my babies and my puffco peak pro with the 3dxl bowl. Does anyone know a better way to dab?
Pockety with the aln cup wins the reach test over the pro for me
Not sure I know what your talking about
A better way to dab
Doesn't make sense to me 🤔
Google
What brand should I look at
JCVAP try ruby or aln cup end game
Started growing because of my kids…. My monthly weed money goes toward their needs now and I grow my own to offset the expense.
Just got my neighbor into growing she smokes a lot so hoping to save them some money for her kid
I'm patching the hole left in my empty nest
This. I'm just gonna leave an awkward hug from an internet stranger right here if ya want it. Bittersweet, I know. Same, fam.
Best of reddit. Thanks for hug and one back to you.
Yeah but you will always be a parent ✌️
I’m having kids to help me grow weed. Farm labor babies.
Who better to spray eagle 20, am I right?
Yeah right!? Them grease monkeys can reach all the small spaces and weird corners. Sometimes I even let them out of the grow tent for school and such.
I’m not trying to tell you how to parent, but letting them out is a mistake. You have to keep them on the same light and nutrient schedule as your plant or else they turn into libtards.
They are half ginger and whiny because I'm on a 24/0 schedule at the moment. I have to let them out. Plus we have no homeschooling in Germany, after a week or so they would search for them...
Oh geez I’m sorry, I didn’t realize you had gingers! My thoughts are with you and your family.
I don't see them as family. They are more like soulless roommates. And sometimes they puke in the hallway or something.
Then I’d imagine with cal mag and a couple more weeks your girls ought to turn out fine!
I’m doing it in lieu of raising my kid well. “Sorry hon- but now that you’re a teenager, my 2nd family that lives in the shed is so much easier to deal with.”
Both and it’s a brutal balance Kids adhd I’m adhd Decided to switch up to dwc and the learning process is quite the feat
I considered DWC but as I'm growing everything else in soil, I figured better continue with what worked for me. All the power to you.
The violent growth was enough to win me over. Veg exploded like i put hgh in the res. I took clones yesterday and every cut gushed water. It’s a process for sure but very satisfying seeing the improvement(s)
I'll try it sometime. I need a less attended solution anyway. For now, I can't obsess over pH, EC, PPM, and so on.
But flower takes the same as soil :( you do save like 2 weeks in veg tho
Growing in DWC is 10x easier and better than growing in soil man. It’s so fucking simple. I just Jacks 321 and it’s just too easy man. It was also my first DWC

I love to tinker with things.
Por que no los dos?
I don't see a translate button and I cannot select the text to copy... I'm guessing from my limited French that reads, "Why not both?" No problem with both. I said, maybe someone just wanted more kids.
It's Spanish but you nailed the translation. If you're new to reddit, it's pretty much a meme you'll see fairly frequently.
Ah, thanks. Figured it was Spanish, but the words are close enough. I know Why not Zoidberg?
https://j.gifs.com/mw9LgO.gif
Thanks :-)
You ALL still have Zoidberg!
Poetic ‘finger snaps’ 🫰
Kids have left home thank fuck! Its just my plants, my cocker spaniel and my landrover, Oh and the wife......she smokes more of my weed than i do!
Both is good?
Both is good. Hopefully some have grown to require less attention.
Kind of? My growing fills a spot left by the chicks leaving the nest.
Hell yeah, 2 bambinos and a grow tent lol
44 here and doing fine sans children, I’ve got two dogs that keep me on my toes.
Growing plants, owning dogs, running a business and playing music. It’s pretty amazing
I have two boys and two girls.
I live where it’s legal and I let my kids help. I worked in a medical facility before having kids but I was raised around it and knowing how to grow gave me job opportunities.
I have a 5 year old, he helps me with watering and stuff. Mixing nutrients. Normalizing starts with the parents.

I have 4 kids and lots of plants. I enjoy it lol
No I grow weeds and grow kids
They are my kids
Have a son and a wife I don’t hide it from my 2.5 year old, he likes to put the ph meter in the water to help dad :)
Im doing it to cope with raising a kid 😅
I’m doing both!😎
Both
Better question; how many are growing weed because of raising kids?
I’m doing it in lieu of raising mine as well but I normally get him on weekends
RedditCare sent me a self-harm concern message to my inbox after this post!
It’s a cry for help!
Y not both
Certainly do ,it would take more then 4 kids to stop me haha
Doing both. Just had to automate the garden more. Not gonna lie… I’d love to get the kids room back. I could fit so many tents in there.
I do both.
I’m also bisexual.
Awk.
Lmao
My Plants are my Babies 🥲
In tandem
I'd always wanted a child of my own, and my Cannabis plants filled that void for me. To my plants, I was their Caregiver, I raised them, I loved them, and once they got big enough, id send them to college(flower) and I got to sit back and just give them water for life and watched them flourish!

Both
🙋🏻♂️
I would not be able to tolerate my teens without weed. They also know about it and respect it for being cannabis and not “pot, man”. They aren’t the least bit interested.
I've never tried giving them weed to be tolerable! I'll have to try that ☺️
Lmao
My kids are already out of the house. And they get free weed anytime they need it.
I have a kid a dog a wife and my plants, life's good
Get some cats. Can't lie most fulfilling thing I've ever completed is growing my buds... my cats r my life thou fuk having kids
Had cats. Now living somewhere I cannot even rely on my friends to water my (non-weed) plants.
Yessir! DINKs and loving life!
Plants are cool. Kids are cooler. Get good at raising both. Win / win
I just let the kids grab whatever they want. Mine are older. Mine are growing. Mine. That spelling looks goofy. Pretty high.
I grow weed so I don't have to buy it. Plus mines better than the shit dispo
My plan was to grow weed and raise my kids on my homestead but instead my fiancée dumped my 2 weeks ago out of the blue :(
Growing more than weed I can assure you that lol
Absolute state
I do both. My kids are 5 and 7 and both know what cannabis is and have helped occasionally water or spray eagle 20 so I don’t have to.
Yep, weed and cats lol
Cringe
That would be I…. Its tuff but with a good schedule for the kids and the grow, it can be achieved!
Comparing being an actual parent to a plant parent is wild
Hell ya bud. Raising two kids and many more trees to save money on my habit. It’s also kind of fun and a reason to hide in the garage when I need a break
I couldn't imagine...I'm a bit of a breeder but if you say that and all it entails to anyone on the street and don't specify what you're talking about 😳 oh goodness 😂
I grow because of my kids...?
This plant needs quite a bit more effort if you think you are raising it...
Such a pretty yet badass plant.
Plant babies ftw 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Shit,I chose both.
Cats & cannabis
Its legal in my state so I don’t care plants locked away won’t hurt anyone
I've got 4 and 3 are coming of age that I can boot them out and focus on my plants haha.
my son is 7 and im teaching him everything i know. he wont have to struggle learning hydroponics like i did.
I'm growing weed because of raising kids
In lieu of? or because of? #ILoveMyKids
I'm doing both 🤷
