Can I have a job please?

[Guest GrowMad]

a mate sent me this news clipping... It's fromThe Financial Post, Toronto, Friday Feb 23, 2001... I thought it was pretty funny, dunno if you guys have seen it or not..

 

This guys has some great references...

...thats a classic. Gotta respect his honesty. I'd have no problem employing him.

[Luke Skywalker]

Yeah, I remeber that, a couple of years back now...

 

He ended up doing quite well for himself apparently... Talk about your high end production manager tho... :: He'd be great for a cigarette company... (just kidding)

 

Wonder what he talked about to the kids.... I doubt it was that pot is a relatively harmless drug and the main problems associated with it aren't related to the plant or using it itself, but the illegality of it... *rolls eyes, shakes head and mutters*

 

Still funny shit tho.. Maybe some of us smalltime indoor gardeners should apply for jobs in the wheatgrass and greenhouse industries... We've got the experience. ::

It's funny you say that Luke, my GF is in the hospitality trade and I often joke about setting up one room full of walls of flouros and selling organic wheat grass as a business. And she thinks I'm joking.

Actually, I saw the gardening show on the ABC - you know 'bloomin marvellous' - and this dude was talking about how they'd started using rockwool blockes to clone some flower in, cause they found it was better than soil, and I said to GF that we home gardeners have probably got tons of info and experience to offer the gardening world without even knowing it. We become so obsessed with our grows, we are all like home agri scientists.

! Totally agree with you there vaz, we could probably teach nasa a thing or two...

 

Yeah I caught that episode of GA, it was about natives being found to strike quite well in rockwool... another thing this guy found was that certain species of natives will root quicker and better without stripping the base of the clone-to-be of foliage... weird huh? I suppose the rockwool is able to have more air available to the cuttings, whilst still providing just enough moisture to initiate rooting...

 

And just on the wheatgrass... I was at my hydro shop a while back and another customer came in buying a mv light for wheatgrass.. apparently these are better for this kind of plant than hps or mh... there's a tip...

 

And I read an article in the last issue of Practical Hydroponics and Greenhouses about fodder production for stock... actually turns out cheaper and more nutritious for the farmer to grow fodder in a shed in hydro than it does to buy soil grown stuff...

 

Let's form the Oz Stoners Jobs Forum... we could get jobs for all the lazy, layabout hippies on the board... :: Turn em all into Cundles...

i seen a program on channel two about the guy who built a green house about the size of a double garage!! cant remember the numbers involved but with one green house he could supply food to 100s of acers of cattle thus using the land too make money instead of growing food for there cattle and then making property usible for many farmers that couldnt afford to use it before his invention .

i have thought about it since i saw it ,so effective yet so simple.

the guy was saying when he tryed to sell the idea everyone told him it was not possible to work because if it was ppl would be doing it and just laughed at him.

i think in the end he just started his own production of them and started his own bussiness.i wish i had of seen a web addy for it or a name of it cause it was so interesting and would be good to look futher at.

 

i also agree that having a back ground in gardening helps with mj.i've been gardening since i was little and most things are just odvious and second nature, my favorite book as a kid was the yates gardening book,it comes out every year but i think we had a 1975 copy and you could learn anything about gardening from it.hh.

The latest copy we've got is 1998, I think. It's my GF's. Covers shitloads.

It's like a nan in a box. Hey Luke - what's a cundle? Sounds rude.

Is it one of those octopussy things, ya know..cundlefish..

He's referring to Peter Cundle from the ABC's Gardening Australia show, I'd love him to start doing a section on cannabis growing, I would follow his advice anytime.

Is that the dude who says 'bloomin marvellous'?
