Here we go again......
    #686438 - 09/27/13 12:56 AM (10 years, 5 months ago)

Well, I think I'm gonna get to grow again!! I reconnected recently with an old friend of mine. We have talked quite a bit over the past few months, and he's been very interested in learning as much as he can about growing. Well just this past week I found out that he also happens to have a decent amount of cash he wants to throw down on some equipment and a place to grow at. We have the location about 98% locked in, and I'm probably gonna start working on getting the room cleaned up and built on Sunday.

Oh, and I have some Aurora Indica femm'd seeds in the mail, too...

Fuck, I am SOOO excited to get some plants going again! I've been so pissed off that I've had to pay bullshit retail prices for my meds lately. Going from paying $1300 a pound, to growing it yourself, and then back to retail is just embarrassing... $25 for 1.7 is highway robbery!

Glad you're getting back under the lights tank. Life is just down right depressing when you're not growing!

Post up some pics of the new spot!

Yeah growing is a good thang. Just harvested my outdoor crop for the year. Sometimes I think about doing indoor, but there's so much set up and stuff. Mother nature does a pretty damn good job. Too bad I gotta wait till spring for my next grow...

Yea, but indoor is the reason I don't have to wait until spring to grow more. Lol I will have three harvests before you even put another plant outside! Lol

We just went and picked up a bunch of used equipment from a guy who was switching up stuff and wanted to get rid of some stuff so he could buy more seeds. Lol.

Got a huge carbon filter, a 1/10 HP chiller, an 11,000 BTU portable AC unit, a 10" maxx fan, a pump for the chiller, and a bunch of ducting pieces (a wye, several reducers, and a 10" intake air port), all for $400!

Florida has a year round growing season. 

I'm considering growing outdoors soon. Probably when my truffles are done to pay for supplies.

I don't care if the market is saturated in those legal places. I don't wanna make money, I just wanna live and eat.

Oh I'm just the same. I hate going around the wall when we should be able to walk through it.

Aye at least we can use corn Cobb's to make bowls out of for a misdemeanor :shrug: its still bullshit. 

Itis why I'm scripted marinol for my pain and codeine for breakthrough (though if my dose was 50mg a day I wouldn't touch opiates (I say breakthrough as when the marinol stops working) I've been scripted it since July of last year, after hydrocodone did shit for my pain and I was still loosing weight and shit.

I feel ya man. I have wanted a job at one for a while. I had the opportunity to run my own, but I just couldn't find a landlord willing to rent to a dispensary. I had someone I knew who owned one in West Seattle tell me if I could find a place to open one, she would finance it. Unfortunately, it just didn't happen. :frown:

Tank333 time to hit the modern world. Air cooling the lights works but this works way way better. pretty much eliminates heat in the garden.



Welcome to the 21 Century and drop those a/c costs by a ton. :wink:

I've always wondered how well those work. I've stayed away from them because I've never been sure if the lumen loss from having a sheet of water and two layers of glass between the light bulb and the plants is worth it. Have use been using these, Magash?

Yup and to be honest the lumen loss can't even be measured by my meter. Dropped the heat in the room to normal. I'm not talking a noticeable difference I'm talking fucking drastic.

I use no chillers at all in my grows. The lights each have a water cooler and it runs to a above ground pool that is big enough not to need chillers.

A/C...none. I don't have any trouble with my temps other then the summer then I use the A/C for the entire place that a certain grow is in but none for the grows themselves.

hmmmm. I may have to give those a try. They're not much more than the reflectors I'm using atm.

Can you daisy chain them or do you need a rez for each lamp?

Supposedly they are compatable with most reflectors. Not sure how you would mount that thing up inside a reflector though.

So, its gonna be a no-go for this place too. In researching what I need to set up the electricity, I found out that I cannot trust our power source. I was planning on making a sub-panel box with a 100 amp feed, but it turns out the power to this old ass farmhouse is in a breaker box that is seriously old and obsolete (for a reason). The guy at Platt Electric said the Stab-Lok breakers have been attributed to a LOT of fires, and is unsafe to use. He COULD get me the 100 amp breaker I was looking for, but it would cost about $500! Lol. Normally I would just look into replacing the whole panel, but it has the meter directly on the panel, and I'm pretty sure that to get the city to be okay with changing the panel, we would have to bring EVERYTHING in that old ass house up to code. I just don't think it will be worth it, in the long run... Plus, I doubt the guy's grandpa would go for doing that much work to the place. He wanted it to stay at quiet and unnoticed as possible...

    #689816 - 10/19/13 02:26 PM (10 years, 5 months ago)

So, I completely underestimated the confidence level and investment level my buddy has in this project. On a whim I called on this house that's for rent down the street, and the landlord is "looking into" whether or not she's willing to let us grow in the basement. I told him that, and his response was "Well, whatever option you think is best. I assume you'd be living there as well? We would need to talk numbers but that shouldn't be a problem."

So fucking stoked right now! I'm just waiting on the landlord's okay. This place is PERFECT? Half-finished basement with enough space for two flower rooms to flip-flop anywhere from 6-9 lights (in each room)!! Plus space for a mother/cloning room!

I'll let you guys know in the next day or two whether or not she's down for us to move in! I'm hoping to move out before my parents are back from their vacation... lol

Yea, she was a fuckhead about it. She said she couldn't allow it because there's no way for me to prove I'm not selling it to recreational users!

I just got off the phone with another landlord though. He's okay with us growing, he's okay with my felony, there is a fenced off space in the back yard for a veggie garden! The only downside is there isn't a full basement. But the rent is $100 less per month than the other place! Lol. I'm just waiting for him to be available to meet us and show us the house. I'm gonna show up with cash in hand, hoping to sign a lease that day... :smile: he said he's busy till Tuesday, so it will probably be Wednesday when we get to go see it...

So, we went out to a guy's house who had some growing gear he had bought from a guy who runs a storage unit place ( he owns a thrift store, so he's always buying stuff). Came away like bandits! Got a gallon of each of our main nutes (grow, bloom and boost; retail is about $45 each) for $50, an 8" hepa filter for $60, an 8" carbon filter for $60, and a 4 bulb T-5 light (no bulbs though) for $50!! There was another charcoal filter, but I figured we should save what cash we have for rent... lol

:happyweed:



Yea, if you don't have a pool though (above or below ground and depending on the current climate in your area) unless you can get a water source/reservoir 4 feet below the ground you're pretty much going to need a quarter ton of chilling per light (a half ton water chiller costs in the neighborhood of 1200$).
