Always over the summer I have some sort of big project, when I was 10 I made my own go cart out of wood and old bikes. From then on I have always tried to have some summer project every year and this year thats been growing cannabis, what a surprise right? haha.

In an area close to Mendocino, CA my friend has some property. We all have our medical cards and we decided to get together and legally grow good healthy organic medicine. Mendocino county is something special, allowing regulated 99 plant outdoor gardens. We are well below that limit for many logical reasons. Getting to the point where the plants were in the ground was LOTS OF WORK, especially to get where we are today. We had property set up then many things fell through with the owners of the land. We had to talk to lawyers and get consulting all that good stuff. Then we had to find another spot of land, witch we eventually did.

We constructed a climate controlled greenhouse, even the amount of light the plants get is controlled. In total the greenhouse holds 15, 10 foot bushes and we have another couple dozen outside exploding in size.

We have used no nutrients so far and the plants are big and healthy growing in all organic soil, and water from the well. We had to make this 100% legal in our county so we had to get all our paperworks together and post that stuff up all over the place and we talked to multiple lawyers on the matter so we are legal to the T.

All of our parents hated our project at first, even though we work close to full time or full time at other jobs, and we all go to school in the fall. Now that my friends parents have seen our progress they are actually very impressed and support us and slowly my parents are becoming ok with it. Its crazy how determination fuels creativity and success and we have a local dispensary set up to take our extra medicine.

I have learned many things from this project about life. If you want to do something that may seem impossible, what ever that is you have to keep at it. You can make things happen. You will meet setbacks in your path to success but you have to push through them however hard or challenging they may seem. Failure is to give up. So go after your dreams, you can make them a reality.

Ideally one day I would like to grow Recreational/Medicinal cannabis that is recognized under federal law. That time still has yet to come.

Share your projects, it doesn't have to be summer project. Big or small, share them.
 
Every summer I set out to learn all 4 ways of a new trick on a tramp, pretty small, but it gives me something to do

Word up even the small things are cool, I got fucked up on the tramp the other day and landed on the metal bars. I thought I was going to break my legs in air but somehow averted from disaster still smashed my leg to shit. Ill be out for a week or so, but I will be back at it again.
 
I tried to see how many trees I could plant in 50 days this summer.

I also just started brewing my own wine

So pretty all much....
 
Every summer I make a list of hikes and backpacking routes. And every weekend I do a different one and mark it off my list. Some are just too good to do once so I do a couple repetitively.
 
Remodeling my basement. Going to be pretty sweet when done in a few weeks. Doing a Colorado/ Mountain theme and its looking pretty sweet.

Share some pictures if you can, I'm trying to see that. Ill get some pictures up of my project if the moderators approve. Just got a new SD card for my dslr so I am stoked! Im back in the business to take photos of awesome stuff.

That sounds awesome, I've gotten the chance to check out Yosemite, Lake Tahoe and Northern California with the Redwoods. I need to do some more hikes I've only been in the state a couple years so a lot of this stuff is fairly new to me.

That's awesome man I have only been in Utah for a little over a year for skiing but had NO idea that the summers where so amazing. My buddy and I plan on taking a trip out to CA to see some super awesome trees and I'm stoked for the hiking and camping there!

Nice! I am working on a basement remodel as well this summer, but I am having a hard time finding the motivation to do the bigger projects. I'll try to get some pictures up too for funzies. The original theme was going to be 30s/40s smoking room type shit but that has only been loosely followed so far.

Yeah man definitely! It would be sweet to see a grow op! What strains are you growing?

We have 8 strains that we know. 2 massive purple plants. A couple strains are question marks, seeds from friends.

We have an unknown purp that crossed genetics with some other plant so its likely a new strain and its huge as fuck and looks very promising. Along with Purple Haze, Secret Recipe (uknown genetics but its chronic a friend of mine grows it), OG Kush, Boy scout cookies, and Girl Scout Cookies (thin mint cut), Banana Kush and we have two special plants. They are very low in thc but CBD and other compounds are very high. We like to give these to patients who suffer cerebral palsy and its truly amazing how much this plant helps them.

This guy I know will barely able to speak and once he smokes all his words flow out clearly and he is much more lose physically. There is more to cannabis than just getting stoned and this strain won't really get you stoned but you feel it in the muscles very soothing.

Be ready to see trees over 10 feet tall haha cause thats whats happening and I had no idea they would get so damn big. Even my parents are impressed and they would never be about this stuff, they were mad at me for doing this when I started out and know their stances have changed a bit.

Well my favorite strain is weed so this sounds delicious
 
The police just called me and they are with my plants and they are there for a smell complaint because the neighbors are too old to understand its medicine. Im about to check it out. If they have ripped any plants out I am going to be so damn angry. But I am staying optimistic it didn't sound like they were going to do anything. Pictures maybe up latter.

Good luck man I'm sure they won't do anything other than smoke some of it.
 
I am all about organizing to maintain the tree skiing at my home hill, and working with management to make new shit too. It keeps me in shape, keeps me stoked and makes the hill community super tight. Nothing is more stokeworthy than crushing absolute banger pow turns in an area you scouted, selectively cleared and maintain for that exact reason.

OP you should sponsor us haha... We're all sick as fuck ;)
 
wanted to build a table + bench out of some old pairs of skis. Didn't really do anything till now though :-/

You project sounds damn cool dude!

They didn't take any plants and they were chill about it thankfully. My neighbors are stupid.
 
I restore and mod old video game systems. This summers main aim has been pointed at gameboy Colors. I make them brand new put pro stereo sound in them and put lights in them. It's fun and a good way to make money for skiing. If you want one pm me

Have them come and take a look at my paperwork. They can't do shit and won't do shit. It's legal medicine.

i told them you were growing meth leaves, your fukcing dead kiddo.
 
I have a wedding next summer, so this summer was spent painting centerpiece shit and making groosmen gifts (atleast starting). Making custom boxes to put bottles of liqour among other smaller things to each groosmen.

I wouldn't. It cost money to track people down and pursue them. For bud it is not worth it.

Share your projects, it doesn't have to be summer project. Big or small, share them.

bro what the fuck ever happened to those rainbow vagrants farting up ur house
 
I partake from time to time, and most of the time it is for the medicinal value, (headache, stress, anxiety) and it does wonders. Much better than aspirin or xanax. I wish that I was able to get some of the real medical stuff and see how much that works.

but unfortunately I live in NY.
