    Don’t drink anymore, but a walk under the starlight used to be my fav. And if you’ve got a long walk home you’re basically sober by the time you show up

      I got pretty wasted in the woods once together with some friends while grilling and staring at the stars. That was epic.

      I have no clue how I got home though. That’s a two to three hour walk when sober, and I was drunk enough to only remember the first half hour of it.

      But now I drink maybe twice a year, and very little. The stars look nice even when sober. And on Monday weed was legalized here, that’s more like it for me nowadays.

          I just bought a bunch of seeds. That feels so surreal. This weekend I’ll buy snacks and fly to space, and it’ll be legal.

            Tips from a fellow enthusiast:

            1.) Get a GOOD light. (Checkout the Thinkgrow Model-H for example).

            2.) Set up a good hydroponic system, and use timers for your water schedule. (I recommend drips system. And don’t forget to flush with water at least twice between feedings to prevent salt build-up)

            3.) Use as big of a pot as you can realistically get away with. The bigger your rootball, the bigger your plant and more nutrients it can take up.

            4.). Get a GOOD carbon filter and no one will ever know your growing…unless you open your tent…

            5.) Get a good tent! You want reflective walls, ventilation ports, cord access, etc.

            6.) and lastly…and most importantly, get good genetics. Autos are great for a trial grow, but nothing will ever beat a good photoperiod plant - better yield, better quality, and massive, beautiful, photo-worthy colas.

            Follow these basic tips, and I guarantee you’ll grow something better than you’ll be able to get at most dispensaries.

              Thank you 💕

              The first ones I’ll just throw onto my balcony. I’ll check how they manage and how I manage to keep them alive before investing into a proper setup. But I’ll get back to these tips. Thanks again 💖

                You and everyone else is going to be potting outdoors now that it’s legal, and if there is a single male anywhere within a mile or two of you (which is pretty much guaranteed in the city), you’ll end up getting pollinated. I would highly recommend you don’t do that…BUT, if you do, at least grow two plants so you can compare if you notice any issues in one of your plants.

                G’luck!

              I just had a look at the light. That thing is way bigger than the tent I’m looking at right now. I guess I’ll check for a smaller one.

      Tries to walk under the stars in the city: city light polution ruins it.
      Tries to walk under the stars in the countryside: Starlink light polution ruins it.

    one time I blacked out and woke up to a spotlessly clean kitchen and a loaf of perfectly baked rosemary bread. I didn’t even have rosemary

        My wife came home a few nights ago and I was already in bed, I heard her starting a meal in the microwave, not unusual. Next day I see the time on the microwave was 43:57, and the meal was still in there. Real glad she didn’t press start. She has no clue what time she was trying to enter. I like to theorize, due to the arrangement of numbers, she just punched the num pad.

    I don’t see “I am smart enough to know I can’t drive but dumb enough to think I can walk to Taco Bell from here”

    (Not that I know anyone like that personally.)

    I once knew a guy that got EXTREMELY stoned almost every day…until one day he went out into the dark in the woods and got lost for a whole month.

    And now he doesn’t smoke pot anymore.

    Edited a spelling error.

        he barely even remembers anything before sobering up and realizing he had no idea where he was.

        From what anyone can tell, he was tripping out pretty hard and he just started casually walking out into the woods aimlessly.

        after that incident is when he realized that his consumption of pot was a problem and he had to stop.

        actually now that I think of it, he was lost for about a week, I heard about him going missing…and he told me that he did that when he was high, that’s where I got the rest of the details. Again, this dude got stoned out of his mind almost every day, so I guess you need to consider the source when any information is coming from him.

    i saw a t-shirt in a Mexican tourist town once that said it depends on what you drink, and it explained it like this:

    Beer = I’m invincible!
    Whiskey = I’m invulnerable!
    Tequila = I’m invisible!

    Then there is me, alone in the basement, surrounded by 270 empty beer cans about to open my last 30 case of Bush light.
