I edited that message...." Eastern "( not Easter ) Finger Lakes. I've been retired for about 15yrs and f'ing love it. I did environmental work all over USA , Europe and South America for 40yrs. I miss it like a toothache ! I was constantly traveling ( not home with my kids).....hated it but was making a good buck. I don't like traveling anymore . I just want to hang on the lake and work on projects. I wanna be static and stoned !

Do you have grow rooms ?

No sir! I have 2 small tents inside an extra bedroom and a couple other strategically located small tents for drying. How about yourself?

I'm a lucky guy , I have practically the whole basement to grow weed . I sectioned off
two large areas that I turned into grow rooms . The foundation is poured concrete
with 1ft thick dense foam block covering it.....ergo , it stays nice and warm in winter
( overshare , sorry ) . Also , I'm somewhat isolated, so smell is not and issue . I have to send you a pic of one of my grow rooms...it's funny , the lab/ grow room is a f'ing
mess ! The plants are on benches , on the opposite wall . I grow 9 plants in this room
9 in the other. I'll shut the f up now.

Thats awesome, love it! (Especially the Harry Chapin!) lmao. water table is too high for basements here on the coast, yours looks great though! I would love a really large space. Loose lips sink ships so imma shut up but heres my little space. I do use a bathroom tub. For my “cure room” and another bedroom ill put my seedlings or “germination room”. Drives the ol lady batty! Shes pretty cool about it though so Im happy to have what I have! Heres a couple shots of my grow room , i just chopped an auto so my dry tent is also set up. i usually just disassemble it and store it in the garage when not needed. Have a great day!

Damn nice setup ! Of course it's always nice to have a shit-ton of room to grow , but that's just not the case for so many growers. I think you're doing a great job with the space you have . If you grow some good plants in those units, you should end up with a nice load of bud . I've always had tons of space . When I was 22 and employed , I bought a house . That's when I started growing indoors. I used two of the three bedrooms and basement for grow rooms ......weed up the ass ! Back in those days,
I didn't breathe a word about it to anyone ( a major felony......that's what even made it more fun , like underage drinking ) . Anyway , you gotta good thing going on there !

Thank you buddy! I was a sailmaker in a former life and made hundreds if not thousands of tents over my career. I figured out a couple years ago when herbs were legalized here that it was much cheaper and easier to buy a nice tent for 1/10 what it cost me to make one. The tent on the left i built last year as a 5x5x7, but was a little large for my room so I cut it down to a 3x5x7 and works much better in my space. Then i got myself in a crunch trying to grow autos and photos in the same space so I built another 3x3 tent that attached via velcro to the other tent and allowed me to use the same ventilation for both tents, and on different light schedules (or so I thought,lol). Long story short, in theory it worked great but light leaks screwed the pooch , but I learned . i hadnt grown since the 70’s, but some of my friends grew throughout the decades but wanted to do it again! I do appreciate your comments! Time to water, ttyl

You got some shit going on stoner dude ! Very resourceful. You're one handy dude. Great work rooms , tons of material , sewing machine , you must be f'ing
busy. When do ya find time for fishing.......you got a truckload of fishing rigs and lures .........looks
like you're going for something big .......ocean, lake, river ? I live on one of the eastern Finger Lakes in Upstate .......Bass , Perch , Muskies. I just use a fly rod nowadays. From what I can see,
you gotta nice chopper , ape hangers , studded leather saddle bags. Growing weed,
fishing and puttin around on your bike , a great combination. I think you gotta a lot of great " tricks " ( knowledge) you could share. Carpe Diem !

Ha, thanks so much buddy, you are giving me more credit than I deserve. Retired from local naval shipyard so got a lot of my skills there! Puttin around on the scoot or running and fishing my boat when charging on some good sativa are among my favorite things to do! I have been an offshore ocean big game guy most of my life, although with my age showing and my body revolting i am starting to cut way back. I love to Marlin fish, i also enjoy tuna/wahoo/mahi and other pelegic fish! I am just as happy trout fishing a shoreline though! I will include a link to my you tube channel, one of my tuna vids has over 1.25 million views! I am always happy to share anything i can, regardless of the subject! I did come up with a hella better way already to hang those filters inside tents than those straps. I started to patent my design and application for biz lic etc and then a few months ago said the hell with it. im retired and enjoying life and screw working again.
Carpe Diem!

You are a very interesting , intriguing character who sounds like you're enjoying
life......not sitting around on your ass . I'm also retired.....I'll be f'ing 70yrs in a couple of months ( I act like a 15yrs old). My wife and I have a motto , " Move or
die " , especially during these wonderful twighlight years ( what the f , " twighlight ",
I don't like the sound of it ). Ya got a truckload of skills , you're designing and building grow tents , puffing Sativa ( my choice ) and fishing ( that's tough to beat),
great you tube ! Life is good...

Ain't your first night out.....exquisite buddage ! Can't beat that Sativa, it'll make a dead man walk . I've been growing a shit-ton of Chocolope over last couple of years,
( 90%+ Sativa, love that shit . ). I'm just an average stoner dude also. If ya ever come
to wine country, the eastern Finger Lakes, in Upstate, let me know, I'll give you quarter.....I got ya all set up....it's beautiful country! I really appreciate such mammmers , but " Sir " is not necessary. My name is Lief . You also sound like a kindred spirit ! Pic #1...I see you have one of these old timers in one of your shops
....cool....Old School. Me and my daughter, a hundred years ago...Me and my son,
a hundred years ago. Come to wine country!

Thanks so much Lief! (I had to use the I before E, lol) for the awesome invite! If we ever mosey up that way I will make it a point to visit for sure. im Craig, some of my friends call me fish, or fish head, mama calls me asshole, lol! I was upstate there in the mid 90’s at Cooperstown with the family for a couple weeks. Beautiful country for sure. Also went to Buffalo a couple times when. I still worked. And thats a reciprical (sp) invite as well, you guys are ever down this way to Virginia , our casa su casa!
Great looking family dude! I have two grown sons, 3 grands with another in the oven! Man, im so over this powder mold, so fucking bummed. My trizzlers blew up in my dry tent yesterday with the shit. Looked fine when it went in a week ago. Think im Going to trash the plant along with the tent. I cleaned the hell out of the tent (twice) with lost coast and also some industrial strength stuff when it was empty. At my wits end.

I can't imagine why your friends call you "Fish "....yuka-yuka. Cooperstown is in the middle of know where, farms up the ass , not much more. There's a college in the general vicinity....huge drug problem.....I wonder why ( there's f'ing nothing there).
Buffalo.....I went to Pharmacy School there. Considering where I'm from, I thought
Buffalo and surrounding area was grotesque. If ya came to the eastern Finger Lakes, it's like stepping into a beautiful picture book . So you're a Grandpa, congrats.
My son just got married, I think they'll pop a few kids out.
Ya say you've got powdery mildew.....get the fungicide " Banish " .....very safe, all
natural ( it's geranium oil ) . I've checked out all the government MSDS sheets , talked to chemist who grow under state supervision. You can even use if flowering....great
stuff, it actually kills PM. It's never let me down. Two applications( spray bottle) within a week
and it's gone. Get a very small bottle, it's very concentrated and goes a long f'ing way. Amazon sells it.

Thanks man, thats right on time. I have a bottle of the stuff in my cabinet that i got a couple months ago but tbh I have been kind of scared to use it. Havent opened it yet. But I read about it on another forum but there was some negative about it too, was thinking I could wipe my tents down with it too. think its worth it?
