Okay Uncle Snoop.

Some years ago some medication I was on put me at risk for diabetes (not an issue now), and my Dr. at the time mentioned the benefit of fruit, however I never really asked them to elaborate.
Thanks for that explanation, it makes a lot of sense the way you've described the function. You learn something new everyday!

Lately I've been a big fan of "bungalow", to signify that someone has nothing upstairs.

It's quite satisfying. I grew a very colourful cultivar this time around, and I'm sampling it right now (Blood Diamonds 2.0).

Once you have things dialed in, environment wise, there is great benefit in being able to choose genetics (be wise to find reputable breeders however, and steer clear of white label seeds as well).
There are just so many flavours and variations people growing for an illegal market do not have the patience for. I mean I had to push these until 11 weeks in flower until they were ripe enough to chop! Well worth it though, and I recommend anyone in the position to try it to give growing a shot.

If you are not in a position to do it properly, it's not worth doing over just buying weed.

It's not just about yield, even if you're comfortable with a very low yielding harvest, but your quality will suffer and the genetics will not reach their full potential without the right things.

The CFLs don't have enough of a broad spectrum to support a lot of good growth, and you'll end up with low quality results with a low yield. Not to mention any tent is likely to make some noise, from the extraction fan and a fan for circulating air around, and even with an extraction fan for good bud if you're trimming outside of the tent it WILL stink up your house something fierce.
Not to mention your parents would get suspicious of the constant visits to your room, as your learning to maintain good VPD etc.

Airflow being important if you don't want mold.

Anyone can grow weed, but it takes some effort to grow good weed. It would be wise to consider this once you have your own place to do so, it's worth the wait and you can easily pull 3-4+ ounces per plant (in dry weight) under a 200w LED with the right gear, but the CFLs will be weaker and probably net you under an ounce in dry weight.

This is advice I'd agree with for London, UK as well.

I just look on Google Maps for big green areas near me. Yesterday my mate and I went to a park we haven't properly been to in 20 or so years, and it's now a nature reserve! Walked around for over two hours and it was lovely.

The other points make sense, this may be going too far though!

Depends on the style I'm going for, when my depression isn't an issue anyway.

In recent years, every month or every 2-3 weeks if I want to appear more groomed. I'll be getting another mohawk (I used to be a fan of them) this year, which would require shaving the sides every two days.

Quite a few, and hard to pick one, however Slania's Song by Eluveitie is up there.

What I've noticed is YouTube recommending me more obscure videos, from very small creators.

I very much appreciate whatever they're doing, regardless of how these bigger channels are being hit by it. Yesterday I got recommended a video by an elderly woman, showing a mug warmer she bought. It was very sweet, had less than 30 views and it was a lovely contrast to the flashy, over edited videos stretching a paragraph to 10+ minutes.

Not saying the big channels are bad, I just personally like the small time channels and appreciate that YouTube has been (at least with the algorithm it has set for me) giving these small channels a shot at getting an audience.
I've connected with a lot of people from smaller channels, joined communities etc. yet this is much more difficult with the larger ones (in some I've been to, over the years, the chatrooms they set up are so huge the moderation sometimes just gives up or doesn't even exist in any practical way).

The idea of lobotomies.
Just being trapped in a shell of who you once were, for the remainder of your life... Bloody hell, what a horrible part of history.
