Pablo what's the price of a lb of weed where you are?...right now in NorCal wholesale price is between $1700 to $1600 lb. Conservatively we should harvest 300+lbs this season. My math says that's $400k+. I will split that with the crew, so $200k for me....for doing nothing.

P.S. and i still collect my state retirement pension. Even if i were to go to prison, i still collect my $70k pension... ;)

Obviously you love doing it, as we all do. I don't need to grow weed either, but I enjoy doing it, and it benefits several people. You are probably supporting many people, and really it's no different than a vegy farm...Only you grow vegy's for the mind and soul!!

I hope you do it for many more years (and then sell me the farm when you're ready to retire) :lol:

Moved the light hooks to a more appropriate location and installed the raised floor. I have one clone that is a little confused about apical dominance, I'll see if I can fix that when I transplant. Going to pick up my bins this afternoon.
Time to cook brunch in a bit, windows are still open, nice breeze this morning.

I started the day with a good cleaning of my grinder & vaporizer, and both are working like new again....about for test #3 of the day.

Day 2 of security upgrades. Yesterday I went to replace a dead camera on the back of the house, but it was just a pin in the cheapo Chinese connector corroded loose, and that was the problem with a 2nd one that was fuzzy at times.

Today I am relocating a few of them. I'll now have better coverage of the entire property. But I found out only 1 camera at a time can record on my Swann system...Soooo, I am adding a 2nd system....with Wyze cameras, and if that goes well, sensors for the doors are windows, and more cameras. The Swann system is probably 3 years old and that is about all they are good for.

My uncle lives not far from here, and he has a gate at the end of his driveway... and really, how else do you keep peeps from driving up in and having a look around?! That'll be next!! Along with drone patrol, like the kid on "Ozarks"! And a bad ass dog !!

Something you might consider is a game camera down near the end of the drive set to get the plates . I know you mentioned that the skinny dude didn’t have a front plate , here where I’m at no one has front plates so I have a game camera set up in a fake rock in a rock wall just for plates.

Good luck with this whole thing.

Hey Malt , can I ask you about making wine , I want to make some muscadine wine pretty soon, I know there’s thousands of yt videos but I was wondering if you knew much about it and could give advice or recommend a source of information for small scale brewing ( like five gallon bucket size brews ) .

Start accumulating equipment now: bottles, corks and a hand corker. I've made wine in new plastic trash cans as the fermentation vessels( 30 gal size). It takes about 200 lbs of grapes to end with roughly 10 gal of wine(approx 50 bottles). Get a book on home winemaking and read it now so you can get shit ready; I understand that your grapes will be ready in a month or so, right? I also read that muscadine grapes are juicier so 30-40 lb will make 5-6 gal
Here is a guide, get the book recc'd here by Jon Iverson. https://www.mainbrew.com/red_grape_wines-ExtraPages.html
Now this guide wants you to buy food grade fermenters, I would if you decide to keep doing it, otherwise good quality plastic NEW trash cans are good enough. Read this web page and then I can give you more pointers. Also don't skimp on cleaning and sterility.

With the acidity and alcohol I would still stick with food grade. Even home depot 5gal buckets are food grade. Easy to check on any plastic container. Also I'd make sure you can properly put an airlock or similar without any other air leaks unless you want to openferment (but you have a lack of control). And keep your head space to a min.

Good idea. I use to have one but it broke. Yeah, I'm worried that was just the "look around" and they'll be back.

Thank you @DarkWeb that’s some good information. I have a lot to learn.

Let's hope there's no damage because the law is pretty settled on sending people who use spring guns directly to jail. Let's hope it a euphemistic spring gun.

Personally I'd not want to set a lethal trap anywhere that I can't be the guy making the decision to let it fly.
I'd probably opt for these or something similar. Sounds like a gunshot but nobody gets a hole in their space suit and I don't go to jail and yet the "bad" guy knows there's goodies about.
