Yeah i dont need no black lung or nothin 🤣 I would absolutely figure out a filter set up : )

I’ve been searching for parts for this current AC and so far only have been finding things on eBay for hella expensive. I did come across an article about cleaning the relays! i tried getting in there today but only got the face cover partially detached. more tomorrow!
 
Keep that chin up 🐻! Sucks to hear the AC woes but shed life comes with its drawbacks. An ac is not optional for us and forget to air cooled hid for now. Radiant heat will get ya. Mine are air cooled and still gain about 10 degrees in flower over the lung.
Use a liquid to when going geothermal. Heat transfer isn’t comparable to air. Simple pump radiator and fan. Easy to bury to lines
Wish I could help with the window unit bro.
 
And you can get brand new 5000 BTU window ACs starting at 150 bucks! As the BTUs go up so does the price! But for 200 bucks, you could keep that thing cool easy! 5000 BTUs might do it, but you don’t wanna go too small!
 
Hell, yes! Always go with the biggest one you can’t afford! Lol!
Exactly, why else would I buy a new hat??

Alright here I am in the correct spot of the forum for posting a dairy (Thank you to the helpful members). !DISCLAIMER! I ramble at times and am easily distracted! And if I ever read as if I’m high as shit, I more than likely am. With that said Ill try and keep this thread on track and as intelligent as I can HAHAHA!

So as my intro on the other thread stated, I’m not completely new to growing but very new to solo indoor runs. The strains I have chose to go with are XX and Raskals OG non fem photoperiod. They are currently soaking, and will do so for about another 5 hours at which point ill get them in their paper towel germination station (grow container for pods with the plastic top and the pod organizer removed on a heat mat). From there the seedlings will be going into Fox farms Light Warrior with a blend of worm castings ONLY, i may or may not add some perlite to the entire mix to make it “lighter”.

Onto the “growing space”. I have 12x12ish prebuilt type shed that im making a 6x8 grow space within. it’ll make more sense if you read on and once I get it finished along with pics! Im using foam board insulation and 2x3s for reinforcements of the false walls and (germ room!) I know! ill get it finished in the next few days and post the pics. My lighting situation is less than ideal at the moment I have 12 4ft 42watt led full spectrum white light that i use for all my veggie start on a rack. I took that all apart and made my own rail to attach them all together as ”one light”. Im hoping to be able to get something more powerful in the future but at the moment that’s all im able to come up with, I’m confident it will get the plants to where they need to be by the time theyll require a “real” grow light. If that doesnt happen ill flower out with what i got.

The soil im using will be organic soil ill mix myself from the local worm/soil place. I honestly forgot the name of nutes im going to use (theres a whole regiment of them from start to finish), along with some added things along the way in the form of fish poop water and meals and guanos. Ill get a very detailed list of all of that as i acquire them and apply them.

as a finish to the diary intro I know its a little pipe dreamy, I have faith and have always been a half glass full type of person with a heavy dose of plan for the worst and hope for the best mentality even if the odds are stacked against me, so with that said I am also a very realistic person and can and will recognize a futile situation. Im very open to suggestions and input and any questions! thanks for reading!
I love it a person that says hey when God created these for us to discover .do you think he had lights in mind along with vitamins.

If you live with a woman, you’re gonna have a higher shoes to square foot in grow space ratio. Unless she’s in a wheelchair or something 🤣

You city folks kill me! I’ve got 2 pair of boots, work and Sunday, when work wears out Sunday becomes work. Simple system that’s worked for decades

So im talking to this city slicker the other day, had his new crocs on even, an he’s explaining to me the benefits of his new herb grinder. After a rather lengthy conversation he asked what grinder I prefer?
Coffee. There’s nothing better😏

That's right and you don't play in Sunday cloths and you don't wear play cloths to church or school .easy right.ya we lived by the same rules.
Lol
I was fortunate enough to have multiple grandparents in my life growing up : ) definitely didnt wear the good clothes to play in! And my gawd does soap taste absolutely terrible! 🤣 not that my parents were letting me feral around or anything! they were very involved : ) hugs, love, spankins and all! : )

I spent good money (once) on a pair of runners because all I wore at the time was my Carolinas lace up steel toe for work (this was before my fashion days mentioned earlier). They were asics! Like high end asics. I felt like a grandpa power walker wearing them but man did they feel so good and lasted FOREVER! Melted them form a camp fire even and they still functioned well : )
