@Founding Member Challenges | Week 4

My story is pretty straight forward, I hate weed, like with a passion. Can’t stand the smell, the smoke, all of it. Kids were punished for smoking it, you name it, I was that parent. At some point my youngest child’s psychiatrist said, off the record, that she didn’t think it was bad for my child to use it (teenager) that it probably helped with her anxiety, depression, bipolar etc. The new rule became not at the house. I had always been an avid gardener, I grow almost all of my own food. Vermont makes somethings a bit tough to bulk up on. My kids are all now adults, the one still heavily self medicates along with all of their medications with weed. You can grow a certain amount as a backyard grower in VT. A friend mentioned how much they were making by just growing and wholesaling. With our property taxes doubling, inflation and what not, I though why not? I am a gardener. I found Seedsman, it wasn’t who was recommended to me, but I liked the website, the about us. I picked auto feminized so I didn’t have to cull males, or basically do anything. I picked the strain with the highest THC content. I grew it just like my tomatoes. They took off, I learned real fast about caterpillars and mildew. I lost a lot of product to them. BUT I learned. I grew just over 3 lbs in the end, learned about drying, trimming, jarring, moisture packets, burping bottles, etc. I didn’t feel I had enough to sell to the wholesaler. But I gave out some great gifts ;-p I also could provide my child and some friends with excellent homemade organic product. This year I selected the same seeds, but now know I can get to grow two cycles increasing my yield. I then found another strain that specifically focus on mental health. I ordered that too. And then came the free seeds. I am doubling my ground garden to grow more. I grow hubbard squash, watermelon, winter squashes, in between all the weed, I have mammoth sunflowers and corn that grows around it, hiding my goal, it’s a happy little family. My kids laugh that I grow weed, I remind them I am still just the gardener. I still hate the smell of the plant. May this season be a better cash crop. I want a nice green house, LOL.
