Yeah, I just did the math. $4,000/mo is the same as a $25/hr job before taxes...

"humans are not machines to make money"
don't let how much money you make dictate your worth to the world
help people
make a difference
volunteer at something you care about, maybe retired vets, or dogs, or show others how to compost and vermicompost, or grow herb or whatnot.
hell, you could teach retired vets with dogs, how to compost/vermicompost, grow pot.
and that would.. well, it would kickass.

A lot of men in my family look down at me because I dont work. I feel like I have tried my hardest and this is what came of it. I joined the army and got my college paid for. I thought that I was going to get out and get a federal job or something???

I would gladly teach others if the laws would change around here. I think that is why nobody else jumped on the rabbit manure, there is not a demand for it...
I was thinking of being a caregiver whenever the laws change. I would like to help able bodied people care for their own, and people that cannot, I will grow for them... It is still a new concept around here. I am not going to grow for my friends just because they are lazy, they will see how much effort it takes!
My wife keeps talking about farm animals, and I enjoy the thought. I would really like to get into homesteading a little at a time! Here are some chicks that we have been hatching! 1st pic is new born from this morning, still inside of the incubator. Chicks in the basket are 2-3 days old now.

I just thought about it... How many wives want a $400 incubator for their B-day??? I thought it was very cool, so I got her one! This is our 1st time to use it, we got it in Feb.

that's cool man
don't let anyone judge you on how much money you make, those aren't the type of people that are important, at least not in my book.
I know of many, many very rich people that only look out for themselves, and those don't make a damn difference to ANYONE..
they could die and nobody would give a shit.
life is about leaving a legacy, leaving impressions, impacting lives as much as possible.
it's not about how much money you have in the bank account when you die, it's about how many people are at your funeral, how many people loved and cherished your company, celebrating the things you did and accomplished in life.
that's what it's about.
I do charity repairs for single moms, retired folks, disabled vets, etc, and the feeling I get from helping those people trumps ALL and ANY money I ever get from regular customers.
The feeling of helping others in need is undescribable
especially when you know that they simply could not do it without your help

Well, they have a valid point. I am supposed to be what is wrong with this country, taking free money and bankrupting the gov... That is the common complaint that I get. My automotive instructor was in the navy and I dont think that he liked that I was getting 70% at the time and he was only getting 30%. I really think that it caused friction between us. I think that he threw away a bucket of bolts that I had for my engine, they let me use the parts washer and I forgot to grab the bolts. They were in the way of the next class or some shit.
It is cool that you are doing charity work for people!

well I have to disagree with you man, the people ruining the government and the country are the ones RUNNING it..
not to mention if you are not able to work, that's precisely what social security/disability is for.
the only time that's an issue is if you are actually ABLE to work and are simply lazy..
but that's not the impression I get from you

I completely agree! I think that is the "big issue" for this presidential campaign...

oh and in regards to your question on rabbit manure, you can use it composted or fresh, i'd mash it up to fill the 4 cups, and one cup of kelp meal, and then mix that in to each cubic foot of soil (roughly 14 gallons of soil)
you can use a lil more or less depending on the strain likings/container size/outdoor or indoor

That is great info because I have a little while until my compost is ready, and I needed something soon! Recycled soil should work well then?

Is there a rule of thumb about plant size and container size? I think that I saw something like 1/2ft of vertical height to every gallon of soil??? I think that I may be getting my stuff too tall and rootbound...
greasemonkeymann

umm sorta..
I do 2 gallons per foot of growth, but that's just a general rule, some indicas grow OUT instead of up.
bigger containers are CRUCIAL to cannabis though, they like space.
I go 7 gallon plastics, or 12 gallon fabric (fuck fabrics)
I get better/bigger flowers/plants in the 7 gal plastic, more dense rootball too. (taller container, rather than squatty fabric)
the fabrics just don't work well enough in my experience, and I have hundreds of dollars of them still.
went back to plastic two runs ago and immediately was using expletives after seeing the differences.
but like most stoners I thought the "science" behind it was solid.
waste....
anyways.. I still like fabrics for outdoor though, those bigass 150s do pretty well.
if your stuff is getting too tall, try and do some LSTing to train them to a sixpack.
that works great for me, or I also like the four cola plants too.

Show me this plastic container, I think that you showed me before but I was probably broke at the time lol... I am not impressed with my 15gal fabric pots either, but I thought that it was my newb-ass fucking everything up. I have trouble watering them because the water comes out of the side rather than soaking the roots.

hmmm... it was in a PM... let me see if I can find it, but the ones I showed you weren't my flowering ones, those were the vege ones

I am pretty embarrassed that I did this work, but I finally got all of the right tools and fixed my mini-split. Yeah, this line looks like shit!!! I got my a/c working like new though. I still had a charge on the system, so it was not as bad as it looks.

ah, heres that link for the containers, they kick ass, and are discounted if you get in qty.

perfect for vege or perfect for a smaller flowering, I trans twice, once from clone into party cups, and the second into these, and you can top to four colas to match the "footprint" of the container, which means you can fit more colas in your growing space with these.
10 inches by 13" so you can fit one per square foot with no problem.
do the math, if you have 12 square feet, you can cram 12 plants, with 4 colas, so that's 48 colas per Harvey.
and if you even get small colas at a half oz per, you still get 24 oz per Harvey.
and believe me, if you pump up the lights, dial in your mix, get theose bitch-ass mites and thrips under wraps, you'll get closer to 4-6 oz a plant
