I've grown allergic to commercials of all kind Its like a medical disorder or mental problem, I guess its all who's doing the diagnosis ...lol I am commercial free ......................as far as I can be, I have all the ad blockers I need and there are only a few banners that get through once and a while then I'll block those.......

Might get into it again, I watched for a season or two when it first came on after Breaking Bad ended.
Right now i'm watching Ozark's on the final few episodes. Not sure I am keeping Netflix after they increased my price
and then Spectrum cable increased my price up $18 You would have a heart attack if you knew what I have to pay for internet + TV.
Way Way too much so I am cutting back on it all.

We get a 100mbps fibre op for about $100/month that's my internet and I get all TV & movies off websites.....they fked with primewire so its gone for now but there's a dozen sites like it i can access for free TV & movies...that Utube & we get Prime now as well but its mostly all old stuff

Spectrum has a strangle hold on internet here and they take advantage of it.
My Spectrum bill is $231 and that's after I cancelled HBO Max.
It's a bundle type deal with Internet, Cable TV an Home Phone.
If I cancel my home phone my bill goes up cause it's in a bundle type deal.
So the only thing I can do is cancel everything then go back an get internet for $149 + tax
Plus add basic TV which will boost my bill up to $179 + tax and add on the app channels
that I watch like history channel an so on which would add another $10 or 20 and I would
end up saving a whopping $30 or $40 for all that trouble. Ha it's a catch 22 here.

Your concerns will be addressed in this forum and truly, you have come to the right place. I am thankful as well that I can learn so much from this forum too. You have been doing great so far! I wish I had a green thumb like yours.

Thanx, Yes that was 2 years ago I've learned plenty since then but still learning as everything evolves and gets better.

After the last $18 increase I hae to do something this year. Looking into all my alternatives this summer to see what I can do about this ridiculous expense.

Doesn’t help with the net but I spent a $100 on a outdoor antenna and get all local major stations and 60 other useless ones ! Lol

 

[kuwl]

I took a few snaps of the girls today, I've been avoiding it because of my back
and the shit I have to move to get the crappy pic's I take lol.

Tomorrow will be 9 weeks (63 days) in the flower tent.
Took pic's to see how they are coming along.
I can see em better when I post em than eyeballing them in the tent.
Idk I am thinking another week to 10 days.

BTW I was looking for my lux meter for the last few days, looked every where.
Then I thought , let's drop a suttle hint to the wife who cares less about my lux meter problem.
But always and I mean always finds what I am looking for, but can't ask directly cause she would ignore it.
So I made sure I mentioned it at least once a day.
Ah Ha She took the bait, she cant help herself lol.
So, last night we were sitting on the couch watching TV and suddenly she gets up with a funny
smile on her face. She picks up something right next to my arm by the center consol.
She shows me it.............."is this what your looking for?" she says lol and it was.
Stuck in the back of the consol lid, I guess I put it on the consol then flipped it up to get the remote
and it slide back and got wedged in there out of sight.

Have a look around for IPTV service avail. online....yearly for me is $80 for 2 connections & more channels than I can watch. We even get our local NBC for the local news.

Using it with the Firestick of course.

Honestly, if you have good internet & a good VPN you could never pay to view TV ever again.

Pm if you would like more info.

Yes was strongly considering that route, I know a guy, I believe that is the direction I will take.
It would cut my bill to $149 + tax and all I need is a good VPN and a firestick and this guy I know..

Well done ,that is called planting a seed where I come from .
The power of suggestion is amazing when applied properly .

Like I said another persons eyes, It seems our brains know what we're looking for but the connection between eyes & brain is fuzzy..... I get this thing where I'll be in one room and get an idea or I need something from another room but when I get there I can't remember wtf I was looking for and have to retrace my steps before the ah ha hits...

 

[josefrahl]

I remember seeing a study about 10 or so years ago. When you're looking for something you're brain is actually only looking for it where you think it will be. So if it's somewhere other than the usual spot(s), you're brain can just space, and not recognize it. Someone who isn't conditioned to where something 'should be' finds it easier without that bias.

Day 66
Not ready but closer
Only using Flawless Finish until harvest with PH at 6.7.
Put in some sticks to hold them up.
Watered them today.
I think lux is about 45k-50k, Temp is 75°-77°
Anxious to see the pic's when I post them as they usually
show me flaws or sometimes put me in awe as to how many crusty tri's there are.
I am sure harvest will be sometime this coming week.

Learned alot this grow but not alot of knowledge but more of
what not to do. As I don't think some of the stuff I copied from other growers'
worked for me. I don't know how they do it and give up trying to figure it out lol.

Good weather is here at last!
I ordered some auto seeds Zkittles, brought 10 on sale lol
and they gave me 10 more for free lol. I wanted something different
for the summer grow. But I still have the 4 plants in the spare room so
not sure what or how I am going to do this.
Then there is the prob of where to dry out the harvest.

Some random shots

You have some nice heavy hangers there. Big chunky cola's, you should have a nice harvest.....

I'm another 2 weeks away for my 3 girls in my tent . I repurposed my seedling box into a drying box and it's working great. I sealed it up and added a duct to a cold room and a 12v computer fan sucking the cool air through the box. The temp and humidity are close to 62 ....the temp hits 64f but its a lot better than anywhere else I can put them without it being 68-70f @50%. . Far too small for your needs but it's great for 1-2 plants. I have my Bubble Bomb in it now.

I guess its a prototype of sorts, now that I see how well its working I can go bigger. I'll have 9 coming due in 7 weeks. I cut 2x4's down the center and build most everything I need out of the 1,1/2 x 1, 1/2 lengths. . I' think I'll go with card board sides & top if I can pick some up.

Thanks,
Great idea there!
I might be able to use my 2x4x5 tent in the spare room if I can get it to fit.
My wife stores alot of her junk in there and she made it clear it is off limits, but I did sneak in the 4 plants
so maybe I have a chance lol.

It sorta depends on the plants and if they all are harvested in a day or couple of days.
Once I have a few harvested I can move the 4 plants in the spare room to the cellar tent,
then pop up the 2x4 and I'm in business. I can then move the hummy up there with an exhaust fan.
My only fear is the weather might heat up and that room gets hot fast, right now with no heater on its 80°.
While outside it's 57° and getting warmer everyday.

Ya I had to suck in cool air from an unheated oil tank room about 60f then the small dehue adds a couple of degrees

Patience
Couple more days and they will be at week 10
Idk they clearly not ready, I think they will go past wk 10 into next Fri or Sat
maybe longer idk I expected that tho from week 8 on I knew they were behind.
Looked at them this morning and seen absolutely no change in the last few days.
Temp 78°, RH 40%, Lux 50k, 2 8" O Fans, Oil Heater
PH 6.7 w/ 1tsp Flawless Finish per Gal.

Can't wait to get the clones down there.
They at wk 3 and doing great! Well 2 biggest ones are.
The 2 smaller ones are lagging behind, they were short and stunted to begin with.
The 2 larger ones are in their final 3 gal. pot, smaller ones are in a 1 gal which I will change
before the next feed. They don't seem to be drinking much.
Buds are crawling up the stems on big ones, they looking great for 3 wks!

Clone Pic's in the Spare Room with MarsHydro TS1000 an a small fan w/ window cracked open (basic setup, lol).

69 Days
Noticed they got significantly more tri's mostly white
Getting real close, Day to Day now.

I have a plan.
Going to put the 4 Plants outside in the GH
Setting it up today with heater for at night which gets down to 49 last I looked last night.
A fan or two to keep the heat down, in daytime it gets to 117 in there.
Put some cardboard up to block the street light and hope for the best.

The plants in the tent will be dried in the cellar till the tent is empty.
Cellar temp is a steady 64° and RH is 44 , which I think is ideal for the first few days.

Latest ramdom pic's
They are getting very colorful
