I’m retired also this is my hobby. I’ve grown up growing things all my life, my grandfather was a farmer in Poland before he came here. Taught me what I know about how plants behave, how to taste your soil and tons of organic growing techniques. I’ve grown cannabis for decades for personal use.
Now I’m taking what I’ve learned and applying it to home cultivation of cannabis on a tight budget. We organized a very loose neighborhood cannabis growers meet-up. We share ideas and advice on growing. Store bought fertilizers can get to be confusing and very expensive. Most new growers overdo it.
We’re not a bunch of stoners. We’re all seniors of nearly so, most have minor ailments that cause discomfort or even outright pain. We share recipes for cannabis tinctures, salves, creams, edibles and more mostly with the purpose of relieving those discomforts. Plus it’s not all cannabis…we have broadened our knowledge base to the uses of other medical plants growing in our area. We have some people that have been able to completely give up the pain meds from big pharmaceutical companies.
