I HATED their show for a long time!!! I finally got stoned enough and about the 3-4th time I tried to watch it, it started to make sense. These guys are making fun of their characters. It is like my cousin that I was telling you about, with the soda can. They are making fun of people like him...
Anyways, on a serious note. I think that I am going to have to cut the flares on my mini-split and just braze them together... You probably dont have to deal with this stuff, but I think that I will need a good torch.

yea, you can get a nice oxy-acetylene torch that has different tips, one for brazing/rod welding, and one for cutting.

I saw you tell DonBrennon to use old soil if leaves are not plentiful. I have a nice amount of grass clippings started and I have a friend that has been bringing me bagged clippings.
I keep asking about straw and I get the idea that you dont like to use it? I ask because I have a mix of alfalfa and straw in my rabbit bedding from my personal rabbits.. I am getting a nice amount of mushrooms when I store the old bedding in the large round container in pic#1... I have been sharing one of my bins, so it is time to refill a stall and I have these grass clippings waiting for some brown material...

nah man it's not that I don't like straw, it's just that it takes a bit to breakdown, I also have an issue with buying carbons... since it's normally free
SO.. coco is a good carbon, so is peat
I just imagine straw would take much longer than the grass to breakdown.

Dude, I went to my garage last night and it was CRAWLING with milipedes. I dont know if they came in from the heavy rain or if they came in with my new compost? I read a little and they are supposed to be decomposers, but I hope that they dont hurt my worms or clones... I didnt see any on the plants and there must have been 1000's of them. My first instinct was to spray them, but I didnt.

COMPOST!
they are loaded with them...
BUT they eat worms man, those miilipedes are bastards, they eat everything.
But they are harmless to your plants. but they do eat worms.
Thousands of them though?
damn... they'll pick through your worms for sure

so I was thinkin last night, after we talked/texted, I think your setup would benefit from open hoods, vertically hanging, with parabolic reflectors.
1000 w lights can put out a lot of light, and enclosed I bet it's losing a lot of refracted/reflected light towards the bulb.
once you get your AC fixed, i'd look into some parabolic reflectors.

I just checked my worm bin and it looks fine. Really, they are just crawling on the walls and floor but they seem to be leaving everything alone!? I expected to see them in my soil and even pots, but no...
I might have to do air-cooled hoods during peak summer months, but when it cools off, those hoods dont cost much! That or get more Gavitas! It is much brighter/hotter than my HPS and running the same watts. I can smell my hair burning when I stand under it lol. Too hot for summer!

I've never even seen a gavita in action, so I don't know.
did the nugs under the gavita look/smell/taste/smoke the same as the hps?

With a gavita, you just have to make sure that shit dont stretch into to light too far. I keep burning my stuff even at 30''+... I am probably the wrong person to ask. I do notice that the plants that have both hps and gavita lean towards the gavita for sure. I have not had it for too long and I think that I might have been running the wrong strain under it, Female seeds C99.
Back to the milipedes, I just remembered that I found several on my rooting cubes that were still in the cloning dome. I dont know if they were eating roots or just hanging out??? The clones were fine, I didnt know that the bugs were on them to be honest.

My lawn is actually looking good this year! I have about an acre that I can mow and add to the compost. I added grass clippings to recycled soil, the compost does not look very big but it is 8'x8'... The pallets in the background are 3'x3'.

@whitebb2727 I saw you talking about chickens and their manure. I am still kind of new to this, but mine are completely free-ranging and they like to sleep on the back porch. I have tried to move them, but they are scared of owls around here. So they forced me to build a little shit box for them. I was hoping that I could turn the bottom into a worm bin or something? I have to keep hay on the porch to absorb thier poo

I would fench that area off with some cheap fench if at all possible. Open if and let them run. They are easily killed at night.
A worm bin might work. I put old tin where mine poop and shovel it out every so often and add to my compost pile.
I chicken poop is pretty hot. I know you can build worm bins under rabbits but I'm not sure about chickens. I can't say for sure if the worms can handle it.
I say as long as your adding hay and other organic materials you might be OK.
I guess you would have to try it. If it works I say it would be worth it.
