Ya know I'm a newbie to growing but by no means New to marijuana or the culture...Lol that being said when went through last meeting with agents decided time to change my life and motives..yes as we all have ..I sold pot..but it wasn't to pay bills or to let hobby pay for itself it was for pure greed..I do love money and I did pursue it any risk...needless to say I've been shot, I've seen investments get taken away and destroyed and seized by government officials..lucky for me I'm adhd and have had the honor to learn/train/and fight with an elite group of individuals from good ole Fort Bragg..so unfortunately with knowledge and mental issues I always had 3-4 plans to rely on to ensure safety of myself,my family/team, but never will I risk destroying lives when chose to pursue my objectives.. I've been kissing devil's and fighting angels to long with no repercussion other than loss of property.. having to eliminate my best friend and all money..the entire objective was further than it should have ever reached..while the police department accidentally let my friend out of jail since he sat for weekend and only charged with a minor offense he had pending prior *blessed* he did what we agreed in the beginning..he was going to take the entire fall..I was just a financial partner that knows loyalty and honor..and for him to risk his freedom to come to me and warn me to insure my house was clean firmly wife and son stake..well lets just say it was life changing to know due to me I most likely will never see my friend again..since I live in a very conservative state full of republicans,cartel, dirty cops.its hard to ask or help or recive items safe enough pre paid cards to fake addresses while paying a friend to pay a neighbor to keep a eye out on package while at work
tip 1 from me obviously to I never broke this one because like I said I have more variables on plans and safety measures than one can imagine..hints the 10yrs strong while never even spoken to by a cop on the subject..never never send the items or seeds to wherever your growing or intend on being safe..if in illegal state..even till federal I'd recommend .. narc officers play dirty and enjoy ruining lives..however to say the least I had about 2k to start my own personal garden so since friend on a vacation in some other locations learning other culture's I'm learning to grow my own instead of trips across country or renting property's and risking families safety.. I seriously spent all that and more almost lost wife over the hobby and we'll it's been bad ..but I'm 100% supportive of marijuana as medical and recreational and other great uses it provides so my adhd won't let me give up since so passionate over the plant and its what I've seen it do.. I'm barely getting things situated on it and I've built about 20 different systems and have about 3 full notebooks with design blueprints and theories..If didn't shred while cleaning out my office so now I run In a spare bedroom at my house 8/4/6.5 grow tent lol here's the funny part I didn't want to buy the right equipment at first..Lol man I'd been done twice by now but nope not me barely started12/12 on first hydro/aero grow my first was soil.. and lets just say I know that is not for me I'm to attention to detail and need to be hands on for such slow pace of a grow..I'm willing to show anyone pics share my thoughts mistakes few tips that work for me..and hell maybe just a creative idea to solve the puzzle in your head..I'd prefer not give advice but to share experience on what ever the matter..and in a thread so a truly knowledgeable grower can stop myself from misleading or to prevent you from making the mistakes I made or even worse risk your safety,freedom,or equipment I will not give advice on something if I haven't seen the results with my own eyes so mainly I can help with dos and donts with a few what the hell were you thinking idea's... Some may seem seem farfetched or UN realistic or even fantasy..but before anyone jump to conclusions and mis interpret what I'm saying it's that I made countless mistakes on things I know I wasn't supposed to do or trying to modify to make something that should be done or attempted by more skilled personal... Sorry for the long intro and autobiography about myself I just want to ensure to anyone who would like some input or pics or drawings of some plans feel free to ask I promise if its wrong supposed to be a simple task and possibly done from hardware store trying to build own system good chance I've already done it wrong twice..Lol just for new phone I'll see if I can get some pics up of temp systems built and a few mistakes...finally after basically buying a complete system I'm finally broke down and focused on just buying complete systems.. but I'm also a visionist not handyman so I'm sure was operator error for the most part because I understand concepts and physics behind things just difficult for me to perform set tasks at times it's been in my life longer than it hasn't but now instead of focusing on money I'm focusing on giving back I'm currently providing a co-worker all his medicine to help him stop drinking..I fought and won that battle a little under a year ago..so I know repercussions of intoxication and what it can do physically and mentally..I told him I'd pay for him to smoke 2gs a day as long as he's not using it to sell for alcohol money or misuse my offer but to truly better himself then I'd try and support him till he's mentally capable and willing to take a different route.. nothing against alcohol i just abused it which led to hard drugs which led to binge drinking which led me to a ultimatum under 30 divorced,not being able to see his only son.. I took the long way but I'm seeing things a little faster now that I'm using my mind to think for its self for once..again sorry for the long story explaining my flaws or whatever..but I'm high and it it feels good finally being able to admit it to myself and others so I took advantage of opportunity..being this thread about helping figured I'd multi task and remind myself and show compassion to help anyone I can I'm insomniac and always on so feel free to ask anything on here so I can suggest show my experiences with your question..we all after the same goal lets just see how many ways possible to get there...I have 2 big Amazon packages one on way and a cart ready when can afford lol...but my system consists of
