lol well i have weed as an excuse for why i always shock my self.... as for ur guys that dont ,lol i would be worried and i know what u mean, i have climbed up into a ceiling that u can only get into from the out side and its 3 stories high so i don't like to go up and down to many times,,, but every fucking time i went down for some thing and back up i FORGOT SOMETHING..................... in fact i don't blame the weed cause its been proven to help with old timers.....

Yo, just saw this journal. Got the same set of freebies from attitude. Already grew the auto diesel which turned out really weird and leafy I actually just threw it out cause it was a waste of precious space. Gonna follow along for the rest of this one. btw, your setup is legit as f. Super clean and well put together. If I were you though I would leave the hid light In there. I've used an led for flower and they just don't produce the dense bug formation we all like. The potency will be there possibly even more but the density just won't be the same.

If you got 300 laying around you could get a 8000 btu ac and put it In that small cabinet on the side and vent the cool air in. Then you could get aanother hood to throw just under the wire rack. That would probably be the sickest closet setup ever. Or close it off and get a t5 for veg underneath the wire screen and get a badass perpetual cycle going.

Thanks for the suggestions Green and for dropping into the thread. Don't much care for the automatics, but it's serving a purpose by finishing out earlier than the rest of the crop. It's like a treat along the way and already has a 4 week head start into flowering. It's a good strategy if you're low on bud.

Hell, I forget when I'm not even near a pot forum.Dude, I can stand at my work bench fixing something, stop for a cig, light one, put my Zippo back in the pocket, not even moving my feet mind you, and then............."WHERE'S MY FUCKING DYKES???????????" I can lose tools without even moving my feet.

Yup, been there before. I run my life by an on-line calendar with alarms to my phone. Otherwise I'd forget and be a no-show for anything important. I blame it on age and I'm old enough to really not give a F.

I was going to say something really funny about this, but then I forgot what it was

hmmm, lost dykes, I probably can guess

lol im an electrician by trade and even i have forgot to turn off the power and almost shat my self when i got shocked... of course the guys that work with me thought is was fucking funny, untill i forgot to turn it off again the other day and they got the treatment...... oh how the world turns

Nothing gets your attention like a shock to the body. I rarely have had it happen to me, but I remember that feeling.

LMAO !! sounds like when Im working at my motor bike (at home, not at work) I have to go down 2 stories and round the corner and I ended up doing the only thing I could think of to solve the "problem" now I take ALL ! my tool with me, or Im doomed to go back up for sumthing later

lol Im the same, that and notes, or I forget to breath in the end

btw
saw a TV program about old metal workers (had to see it as Im one too) they worked at a steel plant tho (I make stainless machines for the textile and medical industries)

they did`t had much safety at there plant at the time (they worked from the 50-60ish to the 80-90ish) and they all got mangan Poisson from the "metal smoke"

one of them could get up in the morning, take a shower and eat breakfast and 5 minutes later have to go and check the pan if it was hot/been used and if the shower had been used since he couldn't remember if he had any !!! that scary, 8 out of 10 died before the program was showed, believe me I where my fresh air mask every time Im welding

Well that's depressing. We have had our share of occupational and environmental hazards here in the states, still do. Back when I was in college I worked for my Dad in his classic car restoration shop. Might have told you that already?

He made me wear the body suits and air masks when doing paint and body work. I'm glad he did because I didn't like them. They get in the way and you sweat a ton in them. But I'm glad now I had that stuff on.

I've been working in car shops since I was in high school. I sucked up a lot of brake dust (asbestos) and ran my hands through a bunch of chemicals daily for 10 years. I'm sure that will all come back to haunt me later. Maybe that's why I'm so over the top now about eating organic, and exercise.

 

[Slipon]

well maybe you can make up for it in that way, and yes one thing I regret now is my first years in a ship yard, not liking to where earmuffs that much, now my TV is set on 40 out of 50 in loudness for me to be able to hear it and one of my favorite words now a days is "what" and "sorry you said" thanks God my eyesight is 20/20

Still trying to get the room setup. Went through the night just fine with five plants under LED and the auto under the cfl/led rig. My goal is to try to fit them into the same room by stacking the plant shelves. One thing is for sure, the temps have dropped significantly and my house a/c is no longer on a fast track to the attic. Happy about that!

Photo: Bringing in the cfl/led rig slowly. Didn't know how hot that 1600 lumen bulb would be so I started at about 6" away from tips. I will hook my temp gun on it later see how toasty it really is.

 

[Slipon]

look good and yes, you just have to love the heat output from LEDs, make it so much more easy to grow and the power saved is also really nice specially since you had to run the AC on max, that along with the 400W must make your grow much cheaper

and auto already look nice, can't take that away from her

 

[prosperian]

...and auto already look nice, can't take that away from her

Excellent strategy you suggested. Adding an auto to your grow gives you a nice treat halfway through! That diesel already has a 4 weeks flowering head start and will probably finish about week or two after the others go into flowering. Like that!

She's the runt of the grow, but, bud is bud, ya know?

Autos are good for what they are, easy and fast. As far as medicine though, I think most lack in the potency category. The smell, and size have come a long way with them, but for the most part the majority are still kind of weak. There are some out there that are just about up there with photo strains, but the majority like I said are still a little low for my tastes in medicine. Now for having some smoke on hand, and saving yourself some cash by not buying (if you do) then they're great. When you think about it though, when you flower a cannabis plant, it usually takes 60-70 days. That how long it takes for an auto to flower out as well, why wouldn't you just put a photo strain in it's place in the flower area and get some real meds. I know some don't have the space for a veg, and flower area, I didn't until recently, but I still thought it worthwhile to veg out a photo for a couple of months and get a real return. Just my opinion. I've yet to grow or smoke an auto that's worth it's trouble really. I think maybe when there is a reliable auto that can yield, and also smoke as well as a photo strain, I might be switching. Peace out.

That's what I was saying about how he could do a perpetual real easy in there which be so awesome cause you would be cranking amazing bud out every 2 months or you could set it up to where you add 2 new plants into the flower room every month if you can only fit 4 in there

Hey Prosp,in one of your fotos you had a caption about container rotation. Any tips on a rotation schedule for four 3 gallon geopots under 400 watt in a closet bout the same size as yours.

Howdy polo. I get really nice symmetry by rotating the pot 90 degrees daily. I just mark the top of the rim and it makes it easy to keep all the plants at the same rotation.

I also rotate the position of the container on the shelf every watering. I move them clockwise and it's pretty easy once you make it a routine.

Can't remember, do you have a grow in your closet right now? Shoot me some pics when you're ready so we take a peek. See ya.

That's pretty much exactly how I do my girls, always clockwise, and always the same day moving the actual container from old spot to new. I like to try and use one side of the bulb then move them to the other. You don't have that problem anymore, but you still rotate none the less to keep even lighting regardless. It's a good idea no matter what kind of light you use. I like the tip about the marker great idea if you don't already have a system in use. I'm surprised you didn't print a label for the containers with an arrow-> J.K. Have a great afternoon everyone. Peace out.

I do in fact have grow going in my closet right now. I will be chopping 2 out of the 3 plants on Saturday. The 3rd one is 10 days behind. They are 60 day wonders by DNA genetics. I'm looking at about an ounce and a half dry each plant(just a guess). I would love to share some pics but I'm doing all this from my cell and can't figure out how to post pics yet.
Polo

 

[prosperian]

Everybody is chopping but me I still have months to look forward too!

Think I will be transplanting tomorrow if I can schedule it into my day. Then I can start thinking about flowering these babies in a week.

Naw man, I'm right there on the waiting list with ya.

 

[prosperian]

It's hurry up the entire grow. And then when it's over, all you want to do is keep growing.

Yea, I keep looking through the handful of seeds I have, wanting to start another one, but haven't due to not wanting to do a 12/12 from seed and throw it outside, but knowing due to temps I wouldn't be able to veg during the summer.

 

[GreenDyl]

Prosp, you sound exactly like me 4 years ago now check my shit out
