Random, but here is my take on Heisen:
I was there on tRIU when he was there, like a lot of you. I try to stay out of the drama if I can, but those threads are like flames and I'm a moth. I kept up with that thread there for a little bit, but it went by so fast even I couldn't keep up with it. Pages would be there since my last visit, and I've read like three books in my life, so, meh what's the new stuff. I missed out on a lot, but the big things I kept up on, like anything else.
Time goes by, I saw a bunch of people suckin someone's dick, and didn't really pay much attention to it. He gets banned, some shit hits the fan, and he makes his own forum, the gang follows. I liked a few of the guys that got the ban hammer at tRIU, so I popped in here once in a while to see how everyone was doing.
The rumors I'd heard were that Heisen had only been growing for 18 months when he decided to become a breeder and start chucking his own pollen. I wasn't impressed. I saw all this as hype shit. I was knee deep in LED hype shit myself at the time, and had my own problems to worry about. I never had anything against Heisen, but I was pretty open about anyone could do what he is doing to my friends. I was never really onboard the Heisentrain (anyone that has followed my journals can see that I have never ran a GPS or Heisen strain). I end up getting banned myself there, head over to another forum with the LED shit storm that was going on, and kind of fell out of the loop on what was going on elsewhere.
That ended up playing out and I came back here. Still thinking of Heisen what I always had. I had no problems with the guy, just didn't know him at all. Shortly after that, shit hits the fan here. I was on my way out the door after that, not to another forum, more like forum retirement. I end up staying for a little while longer to see how things shake out. In that time, I start getting to know people like Heisen, Dustjesus, G, Main Cola, and these guys are pretty cool. Come to find out H is a pretty cool guy. So is DJ. People telling me things that aren't on the forums. How H hooked up this person, or that person, in a time of great need. He had gone out of his way multiple times putting himself at risk to help out someone else that needed help. The people he hooked up are eternally grateful, and that is where you get your diehard Heisen fan club. I also learned that he has been doing this a long time, much longer than I had thought. He was also getting premium clones from mythical places it seemed like, but the pics didn't lie. He's really good at what he does. He has a good eye as a breeder for what is good vs. something that isn't...experience. Something that everyone doesn't have. That's what sets him apart I think, his connections and his experience. He has learned a lot of things the hard way, and imo that's the best way to learn.
I used to joke with the rest of them. Nothing that would get me banned or anything like that, lol. But over the past few months, I've gotten to know the crew here, and become part of it. Heisen is a good dude. I would be super pissed too if I went above and beyond to help someone out and they tried fucking me over with it, or simply used me. Had it happen to me before, it sucks and I don't talk to those people anymore, I'm a grudge holding mofo, and Heisen isn't. That also impressed me.
So, yeah I guess I bought into all of this hype fire stuff after taking a look behind the curtain, I like what I see and that usually isn't the case.
