Im not a safety freak, but i do wear a helmet, WHEN I AM STONED OFF MY ASS FLYING DOWN A DIRT PATH ON MY Honda 360 LOOKING FOR A GOOD RUT TO LAUCH OFF OF.
Seriously. I am a stickler for common sense and basic education. I see so much of it lacking everywhere. How could someone in this day and age not know basic electrical safety? Just flat out not know.
It goes beyond that. Most of the population is stupid and dont care or know they are and that is the single biggest reason why there are so many problems in this world today. The major contributing factor is because people are allowed to be stupid and even rewarded for it.
You are all stoners, standing up for what you believe in by growing. Well, im a human being and im standing up for what i believe in by pointing out that ingorance and stupidity is not acceptable. Not when so much information is at our fingertips.
An ignorant person doesnt know. Thats ok. A stupid person wont know, thats not ok!
Ok, first off, as a half newb, if there is sucha a thing, this is great information that greenister has provided to the poster. Not only is he sincere but he is direct and to the point. Safety first by all means, no matter what. Who wants to burn down a house/apartment over an oz or so. This is his first grow, so lets lead him in the right direction, and i applaud greenster for showing this man the correct and safe route to proceed through.
And to the op. good for you, changing up your cab, realizing the facts and points being brought up in this thread. Think about this guys, How many grow ops are in the papers all over north america, burning down and causing havoc, all over marijuanna. You guys are better people for trying to help this guy out and not being just another statistic of grows gone bad.
Im looking forward to seeing you complete your grow and learning about growing. DONT HESITATE to ask questions dude, some people will be more then helpful, others will not. Just be patient. I will be more then willing to help you out by anymeans, my link to the grow is in my sig, feel free to check it out dude.
Back to topic tho, you will want much more light for those plants in the coming weeks. Make sure to keep a constant temp, intake exhausts im not sure if you have those in ur setup currently, but these can be easily achieved with pc fans. A few more cfls would be beneficial to your plants. I find 26-40 watt bulbs provide adequate light with minimal amount of heat. You are going to want 2700k bulbs, make sure you have those. Generally they can be found pretty cheap, and often are a great deal when bought in a pack, ie 6 26 watts for 18 dollars.
Good luck dude, this is a great site to learn from and most members are extremely helpful. Sorry for the long post but i feel it is needed.
Keep us updated!
