Do you think they wonder why people come in and only buy the posts and caps, but no fence panels?
I doubt it, if they ever ask just say you broke it weed eating. I actually called a fencing company to price them and he pretty much busted me. He was saying he could router holes in it and kept asking if I had privacy panels, then he said oh you just want it to "have" haha. Lowes was actually cheaper for just straight posts.

My "local" home depot has a few employees that have asked what I was using my "supplies" for. I told them straight up, and they are way cool with me. Ive added a couple patients to me roster from there.

I found that the dams I spent so much time makingwere for nothing. Roots grew way too fast, and way too big to use them. I just made sure my roots could touch the water. A drip system is a great idea until the ladies get there walking boots on.

Looking good up here gents.

A ton of good set ups in this thread! Vert is the way to go math tells me. Going to attempt my first vert coco grow in about two months. I'll use a 5x5 Secret Jardin, maybe/ hopefully controlled CO2, and a vert 860w CMH which runs cooler than 600 HPS so I'll prob go bare bulb.

Now here are some ideas I have. My thoughts are maybe Sativas in the back and Indi in the front, chicken wire for support of leaning plants, super crop towards bulb, what about not using SCROG? Any advice will be much appreciated!

I like the sativa indica idea. Will be a lot f training but worth it. I also like the super crop towards the light. I always wanted to try something like that but mu space is very limited. 5' x 5' sounds like fun.

as for the chicken wire I like the 2" x2" squares on the stuff I have. Its big enough to get branches through easily bit small enough for me to tie the branches where I want them.

I never knew they made an 860w CMH. I've ran 400 and 250w cmh's.

If my 1k ballast werent digi Id seriously consider using those bulbs... Apparently they can run on a 1k mag balast, but still use 1kish watts? Those bubls have an amazing spectrum with plenty of uvb < whats ultimately going to give you more potent dank.

CMH CDM its the same.

Im sorry but every time I go to edit a post with an attachment I gotta go through the whole captcha crazy shit TWICE. Anyway,,,, Only thing stopping me from using those is I would have to run some 220,, and my special digi instant flip alternating crazyness timer runs on 120 as well. Id really like to do it though.

You must use a 1000w MH ballast! No exceptions or POP. These bulbs shit on any others. Mines in the mail now. 100$ for a 900w full spectrum, high PAR, vertical beast!

As I understand how retrofit is CMH, same thing. Its the mh that runs on hps ballasts. That's the reason I got them because I had hps only magnetic ballasts and wanted the CMH for veg. Ended up using for flower.

not sure why they run cooler than the mh or hps equiv. I like you found strait mh to run hotter than equal hps. The CMH is pretty cool by comparison. As in temps.
