    Wink Hi, old new guy on Canada's east coast

    Hi,
    as the title says, I'm 70 and I've been growing for a while now indoors after a few failed tries growing outside in my damp climate. I know all about bud rot and Pm ruining crops. I've had a few years though of successful indoor growing.

    Its a bit funny to me that 10 plants is the allowable limit because that is my exact number right now and I'm being stretched to be able to keep them all healthy.

    I've 5 at 47 days in flower under a 1000w and 5 at 12 days in flower under 2 SE3000 300watt spiderfarmer led's with another sf600/ 130 watt up front and a cheapo Likesun 1000w / 100watt also shining on them in a 5' x 5' tent. covering a 3x5 area in a Scrog in my basement.

    I grow in promix type soils with a bit of added perlite and I use General Hydroponics 3 part nutrient system with their Flurolicious Plus and Kool Bloom for a few weeks in flower.

    I grow for myself and 75 yr old wife who I make chocolate/ gummies and such for her as a sleep aid. I've 2 replaced hips a bad knee/ neck and shoulders I'm just old after a lifetime of abuse and I've been smoking pot since the late 60's north and south of the border, now we can do it legally

    Hi and welcome to the forum CatManThree, nice to have you here!

    Growing at 70, very cool indeed and I hope I'll be doing the same when I get there.

    Sounds like a pretty sweet garden you're keeping, there.
    Can't wait to get a look.

    A warm welcome, CatManThree.

    Cheers

    Thanks for the warm welcome guys, I'll post some pics when I figure this thing out, I'm not sure the protocols involved, and they're on another computer.
