just caught this. my primary source has traditionally been electric since we have a heat pump on the house. damn thing is great between ~40F - ~90F. Outside that range, it runs non-stop, and with a grow going plus two small kids that are allergic to turning lights off, and four servers running out of the home office my power bill goes WAY up mid winter and late summer. Thinking this winter between wood and plumbing the exhaust from the grow to a central point in the house, I should be able to keep the thermostat set to 65F and actually see some savings on the power bill. We'll see though.Getting expensive for heating whatever your source is. Natural Gas has been so affordable for so long. Wood heat rocks if you live somewhere to harvest your own. But at 300$us a cord. Ouch. Hope La Niña isn’t what it could be, could be in for a cold winter. Makes sense after record heat in the summer to have extreme cold in the winter.
clones look really good db
It's always fucking freeze dried bullshit (or whatever you want to call it). Your almost always better off simply buying some extract from the dispensary, if you go that route.Wow, I got stuck in town because of a ferry delay so picked up a gram of weed from the legal dispensary.
Never again. First and last legal purchase.
Look at this garbage. And the packaging..View attachment 1178629
It takes all this schwag to make up a gram? Wtf...

Soo thankful I grow my own. This is some bullshit .
Yea, you and me both bro, they will be the death of me,I did. Then I started again a month or so ago. I quit about twice a year it seems. Binge and purge.
All started when my wife's friend came to visit, she had cigarettes and I had a big chunk of Afghani hash.. joints were rolled.. that's all it took. Week later I was puffing captain blacks, week after that I was buying packs of darts. Again it started with mostly smoking it all in hash joints, but then I started smoking too much hash so I cut back on that.. and here I am. Planning to quit again soon lol.
I would even say use your grow ports as a means of circulating air in the house, if you use some though, you can you it to create positive air flows, from where heat will leak out to the less positive areas. I use long 6 inch tubing, and just stick it out a window, if it's too hot, or put it where I need it at any given time.just caught this. my primary source has traditionally been electric since we have a heat pump on the house. damn thing is great between ~40F - ~90F.

You should look into installing solar. I have no idea where you live, but for most places it is a viable option.just caught this. my primary source has traditionally been electric since we have a heat pump on the house. damn thing is great between ~40F - ~90F.

at some point I will. maybe not where I'm at currently, but once i buy property outside of the city I'll for sure be trying to get as off-grid as possible with the exception of an internet connection. i'm all for renewable energy sources.You should look into installing solar.

When you get that land,at some point I will. maybe not where I'm at currently, but once i buy property outside of the city I'll for sure be trying to get as off-grid as possible with the exception of an internet connection. i'm all for renewable energy sources.
We are not all that experienced but we we stalk the threads of those who are and are happy to share their wisdom. One thing I’m questioning is your airflow…I see the oscillating fans and carbon filter. Do you have active intake/exhaust as well? Did I miss it?Hello all!
So, I noticed this thread seems to be loaded with extremely experienced growers. So, I was wondering if some kind soul might help me.. I'm a newby. (And Dirtbag, that is one AMAZING light, totally green over here!!).. Anyway, this is my first ever grow and I'm getting ready to flip my Dark Star over to flower. I'm set up in a 4x4x7 tent with a Mars Hydro TS600W and a Viparspectra XS1500 on 18/6 cycle. Ventilation is a 6" 390 CFM inline with carbon filter and a couple of oscillating fans. Ambient temps run at 79.5 at its hottest, leaf temps are 83ish.
I'm growing with Fox Farm Happy Frog Soil in a 10 gallon fabric pot. I'm using tap water (ppm before nutes hover around 338 and abt 546 after) with a ph of 6.3, run off ph generally holds around 6. I use Humboldt supplements (Root Enzymes, Golden Tree, Base A&B) along with Cal-mag and Recharge. Will begin flowering nutes when I turn it over.
The plant currently has a 36" circumference and stands just over 33". I've fimmed throughout to keep it short and have done some minimal LST training as it grew.
I've defoliated a few times to keep air flowing and have lollipopped the lower portion of each branch abt 14" up from the bottom removing suckers as I went. Soooo, now that I've melted your brains with my long post.. The question is (sorry, it's really a few but even if you could help with one I'd really appreciate it).. Is there anything I need to do to prep for the flowering stage? Should I lollipop further up? Defoliate further? (Last time was abt 2 weeks ago and it's thick again).
I figure who better to ask than veteran growers... I really appreciate any help or suggestions anyone can throw my way..
THANKS EVERYONE!
A few pics included..
Omg that “chin.”Now playing
Stressing the wife outThis was 11 years ago lol
I was looking at this when you first posted it and I was thinking, "Hey, that looks a lot like the shop."These signs were two of the many up on the walls in the "shop" @ComfortablyNumb use to work at...Among "other" things...

Oh Johnny was one of my first crushes, along with Arthur Fonzarelli.I used to watch the TV show EMERGENCY when I was young. That's what made me want to be a fireman. After the Army, I figured it would be a nice diversion while I adjusted. Did not work out that way. I went from PTSD to a double dose. One day we had 5 or 6 runs into the 'bad' area of town. I was the driver, not the attendant. We were flying all over the place. At the end of our shift the vehicle manager was checking us in and started yelling about the bullet holes in our rig. I didn't even know anyone was shooting at us.
It’s one of my creative hobbies.Yeah we use it to make lye water for traditional soap making around here. Or we did lol it's a lot of work. One of those, "if I ever need to survive in the bush" kinda skills.
Both dark hair, that's discrimination. But I do it too. I'm blonde so I knew better than to marry another blonde. That's where valley girls come from. I had to go to a foreign country, almost, all the way to Hawaii to find a sane woman.Oh Johnny was one of my first crushes, along with Arthur Fonzarelli.
That's so cool and sweet designs, good job!It’s one of my creative hobbies. View attachment 1178950
