Hello everyone.
About twenty-five years ago, I fancied myself as a creative type. I got into weed culture pretty hardcore for several years. I was pretty well read on the medical benefits and the spiritual applications surrounding marijuana even when there wasn't much information to be had. As circumstance or dumb luck would have it, though, I stopped using. I moved away from the culture. I made one of the worst decisions in my life...I decided to grow up and try adulting for a change. As it turns out, adulting sucks.
Two and a half decades of adult living has taken a toll on me. The constant stress of my chosen profession has resulted in bouts of panic and generalized anxiety. It has caused recurring chronic eczema. I also suffer from insomnia several nights a week.
Recently, my wife and I moved so she could accept a new job. Luckily for me, it is in a much much more marijuana friendly environment. Also lucky for me, but this move has given me the opportunity to leave the profession that I believe was slowly (or not so slowly) killing me. So, here I am at a crossroads. I've decided to travel the path that allows me to take back some semblance of control of my life.
I have a new job and I am getting at least one new hobby, hence my reason for lurking for several months here. I've lurked for several months at several different sites, but this is where I feel like I will be most at home.
So, I told my wife that I was going to start to grow to help with some of my issues. She is fine with that. However, I would be in breach of my lease if I were to grow marijuana. So, I did what any self-determined and self-respecting person would do...I am building a stealth cabinet.
Now, I am just waiting for some things to arrive so I can begin my new hobby in earnest. I feel prepared to take on the challenge of growing a weed in a box. I have grown a lush fruit and vegetable garden in the Sonoran Desert after all. I am fairly well read on the cultivation of marijuana and various techniques for indoor growing. With that said, though, I am just a noob. I know I will make mistakes and ask for help. I will try to learn as much as I can from good folks like you who've gone before me. I earnestly hope that you welcome me into the family and that we can learn something from each other.
