January 16, 2024 8:03 amWow, Kudos on what you have as a legacy and pursuit of your dreams and passion despite the collosal balls of being “country when country was not frigging cool” ! I remember seeing romulan for the first time and thinking wow, that’s something really special. In fact it was the first ebb and flow tables I had ever seen as well as Rockwool cubes. It was growing alongside some Strawberry Cough and some Blueberry x NL crosses that I also had outdoor, and some cut of Jack. It was all very impressive as my friend is quite an over achiever! I was so happy to hear you guys were still doing your thing. I am 50 years old and grew up here and have been growing on our family farm for a while now. Since I was about 16 or so and was self taught, so I have killed a whole bunch of otherwise great plants! I mostly stay to myself and give most of the stuff I grow away to sick folks like myself (multiple sclerosis) or just other old heads like myself . My son is a weed nerd too and he has attended some cups and events and he and I agree that Cindy 99 is quite the smoke and a lovely woman in the jar and will blind your ass pretty well w some substantial laughter at some pretty lame jokes. Some BBQ don’t stand a chance out in the open either. Anyways , I know you are a busy man, but I think what a man leaves behind is the very most important thing, our kids, our ideas, our legacy, If you could e mail me with some suggestion of what may really thrive here from your selections, you have my word that I will give my best shot, keep you informed as to the results and because old habits die hard , my anonymity within my son and I as weed nerds. Again thanks for your contributions, Kevin
MrSoul
