Dude I have kids! They blow everything up! The weather has been super cool! But today it’s back to higher temps ( more June like weather for us here) 80s low 90s mostly and 60s at night. I’m looking at getting an 8” fan to better use the cool nights during lights on.

How are you doing up north?

I think they’re pretty healthy : ) they should probably be way bigger for their age but over all I’m happy with them and it’s been pretty fun getting them to this point. This run has me already excited for the next! : )

Got the room opened up because the wall was keeping the heat to much on the light side and not mixing with the conditioned air. It’s much better now, still not great. Ducted the dehumidifier out of the room. I need to just add more insulation. And get a mini split lol!

 

[Sunin]

they just take their time through that trellis as for me they also look healthy and nice loads to pump in the buds yet

You had to ask

Well checked the weekly weather synopsis and looked like 70s to 50s at night so started putting stuff outside, well now for the rest of the story. Sheesh.

Well you no the drill on day of sun then 2 days of rain, yesterday heavy as well as today now coupled with wind gusts of 50+ and temps of 40s at night (My Mom avid and lush gardener always used to say 1rst full moon in June).

Yep today its Les Misérables out there, so just checked to see if anything was blown over as my plants are in bags.

Oh on a side note I had to return that humidifier, I was lucky enough to be within the 30 day window, I was planning on using the hose to constantly drain, but before I did that the unit was on overnight and did not shot off when it hit the limit, so even though I was going to use the hose anyway I still didnt want a dysfunctional unit.

So the April rains started a week ago and the humidity is through the roof inside sometimes ya just can win, and you know what I talkin bout.

I still have just over 10+ plants to harvest-wet trim and a bunch to up pot yet so I am busy for the next couple here.

And maybe to fix my freezer it might just be a run capacitor which is about $60, any other part it and aint worth repairing.

Dude I had kids like 8 soI dont have anything that's not blown up except for the things I have acquired after they went on their own, and only 1 grandkid live in town and he just turned 24 so we can blow shit up together.

And plants are looking good man, ants must be in sandals now

That's really shaping up looking super, nice trellis everything's coming together, busy Bear .
Just curious what's your cost there for lumber.

Hahahasha!!!! Yeah and I saw one with a little drink with an umbrella in it!!!

Damn dude thats a rough go! Next time im not going to ask! lol : ) thats lame about the dehumidifier! Im going to be hooking my mine up to the tube to constant drain. What was wrong with it!? As long as you still have the ability to return its just a pain in the ass and inconvenience, hope you get you replacement soon!

If it weren’t for not winning I wouldn’t have the word winning in a sentence with my name in it!!! Totally know that feeling. Im going to say trim jail IS winning though! : ) and thats a good thing lol

Papa Zab!? Awesome! That sounds like a lot of fun : ) grandkid probably keeps you on the straight and narrow huh!? Haha : )

half of that stuff I already had laying around the house! I picked the 2x6x16’ up the other day for like 16 bucks(awning project). It’s cheep to do my kind of projects but god damn if you wanted to build an actual deck or house or something it would cost half your soul and a pinky toe! Guessing here, less than a hundred bucks? Thats including the lumber I already had. I use the “fake 2x4s” also at times. The foam was the most expensive item besides the dehumidifier. Im going to add everything up so I can make an end of the thread run down : ) thanks for the kind words Zab

 

[BearWater]

They really do! And I think watching them daily “slows” the growth hahaha. I already noticed the newer growth from last nights lights on to this morning looking adjusted! Im going to look into a product my local grow shop has for a flower finisher type thing, so hopefully those buds will stack heavy : ) thanks for the kind words Sunin!

 

[BearWater]

Really nice work! Looks fabulous.

Thanks TreeBee! Im trying! : ) its getting to that point where the AC is just on and im freaking the fuck out because my wife is going to shoot me in my ass if the power bill is through the roof lol!! (She will not shoot me)

Im just having the realization I dealing with “indoor grower issues” and I dont like it

 

[Zab]

So what kind of wood are the those 2x6s, hardwood or pine, or spruce, and yeah I used to have lots of shit hauled back from sites that I worked on but you can only keep so much and then you have to utilize, give away, sell or bin.

Still I wish I still had all my rebar though, would have come in handy.

So I snuck out in between the rain to snap a quick photo, I got those composite planks from a jobsite that were set out at the dumpster, these are 1.5x7 inches, and use them to set the plant on.

 

[Bilber]

Ha....it only gets better! And more expensive......and more time consuming.....and.......

I gave up looking at the bill......I can't, nor will I give up my MH/HPS!!

On the very limited budget that I'm allocated, I do better than expected with a set-up that keeps me on my toes......

AC can be a big power draw but its a small area so hopefully its not a massive increase. Maybe some bullet proof briefs just incase

Made me laugh out loud!!!! Holy shit!!!

 

[BearWater]

Hey what’s this mean? It’s a cutting. Im thinking the roots may have hit a dry patch of soil? Something to do with water?

I already kind of lost track of the cost of things because I didnt want to know lol. But part of me likes to just keep tabs.

I think its more fun to be kept on ones toes : ) I always get bored once I automate things or make them less idiocentric lol!
