    HR, My Buddy Commercial J uses Power Box flips with Lumatek ballasts. He has around 20 ballasts and 40 lights. I want to say he had to do a little something wierd when he set it up. I'll ask him. I know it was no big deal. When you frame the new room, consider sheeting it with plywood...

    Wolverine, Sorry I took so long to address this...I was sidetracked. Wow. It scares me when 2 attorneys give 2 totally different opinions. My attorney advised us to 1099 all working members to avoid any potential tax evasion issues. Bottomline is we are keeping paperwork as normal business...

    6000 watt hydro CRAWL SPACE...close 2 done...someone show me another please

    Dirk, I agree with Chasmtz, in that your ambition and work ethic is clearly top notch. I'd love to have you working in my grow op. You're going for what may be impossible with total zeal. It's better to have tried and fail, than to have never tried at all. I truly hope you can pull this off...

    I'm sure they'll be fine. Hope you enjoy the outcome. The later in bloom the less potential negative effect pruning has...also the less time light can cook on the lower buds...which is the downside of pruning too late. But, nothing bad will happen. Typicall, pruning at 4 weeks helps ripen the...

    20,000 Watt Medical Grow Op Construction

    I prune about 2.5 weeks into bloom. (see above). It's strain dependant. Basically, I go at em when the stretch is over. This way I know I'm looking at the basic framework of how the plant will look for the rest of its short life. I do the pruning all at once. I may pinch a leaf or 2 in veg and...

    so my friends ballast is gone...

    Kitty asked me to look at this and I have. Redivider is on track. The landlord can evict you. It doesn't really matter how they found out. As far as the lady trespassing, it's a different matter, having nothing to do with the eviction. If you want to press charges for trespassing, you...

    Thanks for the heads up on the captions. I'll name the pics with more detail in the future. I still miss the easy uploader function. It made it easy to get the pics right where you wanted them. I have a 16 week un-named sativa. It was a strain Commercial J came across a few years back. If you...

    No, the hydro store wouldn't. Because no hydro store would carry this POS. Check out the warranty on this bad boy: Returns Exchanges are offered for items that are defective or damaged when received, although this is highly unlikely. After exchanges are made and have not resolved the issue...

    I figured it was time to take some before and after shots of my insane atomic pruning. I hate that we can't use the "basic uploader" here anymore. Then I could have captioned the pics. Anyways, you'll see 2 pics of a vegging plant. The first is before pruning, the second after. The 3 pics of...

    Please don't call people names here. "you're a fool" is what I'm talking about. Please read my response on the expenses beyond just grow gear, and the reason I prefer to purchase gear from my local hydro store. I have the technology to buy online...I choose not to. When someone hands YOU a...

    That's neat. But, no proffesional commercial grower with a hydro shop within driving distance would EVER buy supplies online. Most of my buddies are large scale commercial growers and all of us shop local. When we build an op we walk in and make a deal with the owner/manager. We negotiate a...

    Thanks Wood for helping with the reply. Saves me my sarcastic reply. If you read my post you'll see that equipment costs were only a part of the breakdown. I do buy at my local shop. And I pay less there than you pay online...no fucking doubt about it. As an example, I pay well under $300.00...

    Temp is never over 78f. It's bright in there, but not hot. Don't knock the party cups.LOL. Those were cuts I got from a friend when my clones weren't ready in time to fill some empty bloom space. I just cut the bottoms out of the cups and plant them right in a Hugo block. My buddy swears by...

    Feminized seeds...clones originally taken from feminized seeds. The whole seed/clone market is totally fucked. We're in an explosive industry with millions...even billions on the line. 20 years ago when you had to fly to Holland to get seeds, things were way better. The seeds were as advertised...
