I would like to try coco, but I like the idea that with soil I can leave them unattended for a lot longer than if using coco.

soil is no way designed around mass prodution,but is wonderful for folk with a full card and other things going on as veggie gardens ,also if your state allows all you need is one tree to get what you guys in water get ,so it even steven in most cases ,just how you look at it,im am very interested in veggie gardening in water though and havent gave up yet ,hahahah looking like this year gonna be top garden only so water buckets might be a lot in sight hahahah

I’m trying to make it as simple as possible except the training stuff. I think i like that to much lol. But its really cool to see all the science involved i love reading about it. Maybe some day when i grow up ill be able to have a real grow room. Maybe not hydro, that’s a lot to maintain, but your space is pretty clean bro. I dream of having a space i don’t have to hide so much.

It actually looks like a closet from the outside For the most part. I know I cheaped out on the 3rd door. Rather than buy another 4x8 sheet and didn't out door handles on. You could make it really pretty if ya want but I just made mine to be functional.

Being a soil guy myself, I'm tired of seeing the results of soil vs. hydro. I'm finally attempting the switch. Once my feet are wet and I'm up to speed, I can see myself doing a complete changeover. I can't deny the results of explosive growth of hydro compared to soil. It certainly speeds things up and may even allow one more cycle squeezed in per year.

More $$$$ getting dump into this $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ Pit

LOL coldest it got in Korea was -30 in "rocket valley" we were on a solid sheet of ice and I only got cold enough to use my Mickey mouse boots once... hardly even wore my full gortex ensemble! Came back and visited family in Kentucky. It was 20's there and I was hunting in sweatshirts and pants... everyone who saw me thought I was insane until I told them how cold where I came from was

you all talking about or first life,aint that the shit i was just wasting time watching you tube last night on todays new tooling and machine works,i spent 20 yrs in job shops as a manual machinist,gave it up in the 80's oil crunch,just moved on,but watching that stuff last night sure made me glad i moved on,damn a human is only needed to progam the machine and get its first good part ,and damn robots do the rest even ship the shit out the door,wow all i got to say.
on the other hand life is thrown at as in many difrent way,you 2 bro talking life in the real,you both survived ,call it karma luck or whatever,you made it because you were supose to and that reason is what you are now,a teacher to tell there are many lives and way lives can evolve in a society that just dont care,you are the foot on the ground of this world that shows there can be peace and good and bad,bullshit to both yall ,i apreciate what you did ,i didnt serve,but i did serve in helping you while you were there,in old days they just drafted to fill those spots for your suport,i voluntered for both you guys and no way can you ever tell me i wasted my time ,i was there with just a pocket knife,hurts my heart to hear some of the things you feel because you say it from the heart,shit buck up and hammer down when them idiots do there thang sit back and watch tv cause all they are is hollywood and another idiot show to watch.
did your and stand proud just as you were trained to do,we need you in our society,good bad or ugly,we need you more than you think

Not even close. I worked in a steel plant doing forging for a short time when I was young. Those tool and die maker guys were some of the smartest people I ever met. Old Italian and German guys... They were fucking brilliant and not just in thier field. No fucking CNC crutch they did it all.

i left the oil field when computors took over,i have taken a lot of pride in my trade and still do,do it once,job shops were the best thing for me,prodution shops are boring,job shop you take a print ,go to yard get your steel cut it on the saw and finish that part to ship,a lot of love goes into that,i couldnt even try to remember how many well heads saddam blew up i made for that country,i love the challenge of every machine from set up to finish,grind all my own tools and all,ya bro them days are done,it is truely amazing what these machines can do these days,i was just talking to my wife after evening news saying,all it takes is one human to progarm a machine,when and were are folks gonna work in the future the competion will be so great that even folk into thecnolegy wont have jobs,a machine even does that,before you no it,it will be a picture put in front of a computor ,programed to mass produce and done,were will andwhat will humans do for livings if you dig what im saying,my hay day is come and gone,one thing i can still say and proud to is that i am a craftsman,most these days cant say that and it is sad,pleasures me to make something with my hands useing nothing,before long even the housing market will be robots building housing and such aint that the shits
