I’m not OCD but at the same time when I get in to something I tend to get deep in it.
These days I have databases for my seeds and grow journals instead of spreadsheets, and I still log my experiences and flavors. One thing I’ve just recently started doing is chasing particular terpenes instead of strain, or sativa/indica dominance. In the past I assigned the value of a strain to it’s overall terpene profile but I didn’t get specific about what was dominant or different from one grow to another and why that might do certain things for me.
In the long run I’m trying to pin down specific terpenes that give me relief from the things that ail me so I can buy or breed a strain to grow until the end of my days. There’s a bit more to it than that, but that’s the general idea.
Woah sweet. I am sort of new to growing and I actually don’t really have enough space to grow as much as I use for now but working on it. I smoked so long in an illegal state that I was always happy so long as it was weed. I found I prefer indica and flowers over 28% but haven’t chased down specific terpine profiles… Yet. I don’t think this is OCD this is cool lol
One of the traps of growing is chasing everyone else’s suggestions. A lot of the growing communities are toxic as hell and a lot of it is the blind leading the blind. That’s not to say I know it all or know better than anyone else, just an observation.
I think something that gets forgotten too often is that there are multiple ways to grow weed, and infinite variations of those ways to help growing fit your life and your space. The way I do it isn’t necessarily the best or better than anyone else’s technique, but it’s working well for my life and my needs. That’s the main thing I think gets lost in the excitement and allure of weed cultivation.
Then people inevitably run into problems and head online for help only to be insulted and ridiculed by someone that may not even grow or smoke. It’s a terrible way to learn.
