if you aren't going to try your best to keep them alive then why even bother transporting???

seems to me that even if they do live, if you don't attempt to keep fairly constant conditions they'll likely go hermi...which you wouldn't even know until you go to flower your first batch of clones?

it's a uhaul yes? I doubt the box stays very warm at all even on the road.

I dunno...just giving my thoughts here

got all the boxes done and packed, along with all non essential furniture.

brother is flying in tomorrow (he has to drive the dogs in my car while i take the cats in the moving truck), we're gonna take down the veg room and go through the attic for stuff to keep. gonna junk all the remnants from old grows. then we're down to all the annoying little knick knacks, lamps, non perishable foods, etc.

then it's three days on the road to CO. i hope the mothers i packed don't take too bad a beating from 5 days in the dark with poor air circulation and cool temps. i've seen plants take worse treatment without blinking, fingers crossed.

i've had these gals for a long time, hermie is not in their vocabulary. they are tough gals.

sometimes i keep mothers for too long and they can't be pruned for flowering and are too tall for the veg room, so i have to chuck them. i've been lazy and just placed them on the back stoop in the winter and they've lived for weeks (although it doesn't drop below freezing here, just down to 35 or so usually).

if they die on the road, i will have a second chance to get their genetics to CO in may. i still have a crop finishing here that i need to come back and harvest.

bought a couple for my tent outside in the summer and they don't last very long.

like joe pointed out, it's the cold i need to be worried about. i totally forgot how much colder it would be where i'm going.

guess try and take some fresh cuts and put them in the box next to the moms, might as well use the cold to your advantage, if it kills the moms it will least keep the clones fresh untill you can root them.

i took a batch of clones that i wanted to take with me instead, but they were slow to root and barely have any right now. i might take a few up in the cab and bring them to the hotel room at night now, considering how cold it will be.

sorry bro...don't mean to be a negative nancy.

I'm just saying I think you could do it..It's just gonna take a little more. I'm trying to think of a good way to keep your rootballs above 45f. which is where I would be comfortable with.

the lighting is fairly easy with a few small led fixtures. and maybe a deep cycle marine battery with an inverter??

twelve moms tho....that's a tough one.

I'd probably try to just keep 3 or 4 moms and maybe get some heat mats to put under them maybe??They only pull like 40 watts each . Run them off the deep cycle battery. insulate the boxes with blueboard. I don't know how long a deep cycle would last under this kind of draw but i'll bet around a day anyway If you get a big enough battery. Shit you could really be prepared and have two deep cycles. Charge the second while you stop for the night.

sounds like a lot...and it is. but it's the best way I can come up with to keep things on par reliably.

and at least the heat mats you could use for clones down the road so no big waste there.

I mean what are we talking here? like 500 bucks....tops? not to bad considering imo.
and you could always sell the batteries on cl or something. Or keep them for power outages or backup for your laptop idk.

oh and make sure to put blueboard down on the floor so it doesn't draw all of your heat right out. this will help tremendously.

bucks mobile grow room ;)

i know, i know

you're just gonna pitch em and buy new clones in CO.

probably your best bet anyway. I think it would work though.

it sounded good in my slightly toasted brain :mrgreen:

I can't even navigate the site with Firefox anymore. Just freezes between pages.

I don't know how much more of this I want to put up with. It's clear this place is falling apart and they're not doing anything to fix it. :-(

Where's everyone else going? Someone PM me please.

Wouldn't mind being included in this pm.

Still have plenty of time for a lot of the people here, system issues are becoming to prohibitive for any sane person to put up with.

thanks for your concern about my garden but not in my safety and security. and your interest in using my jaw to plow a field is really sweet. potroast asked me to report all posts but it's pretty much an impossible task. you guys really know how to make a girl feel terrible. pretty sure I don't deserve it.
