DWC to Perpetual

I was also in a bad place in life struggling with depression and not wanting to do anything. Not checking them for weeks at a time.

Im finally feeling a little better and have a reinvigorated spirit and a will to produce beautiful plants again.

Dont count me out just yet DB

yes yes, I didn't want to mention that.
Good to hear positive things from you though.

It doesn't look terribly bad, what's it smell like?

Like weed. Lol. I don't know. Skunky/fruity. All strains smell the same to me.

I smell fruit, skunk or cheese. Thats it. Fuckers be like it has a hint of lavender with some diesel fuel undertones with some calico cat piss smell.

I just smell weed lol. But to answer your question they smell good.

Thanks...Everyday is a struggle to keep my head above water. But sitting back and letting shit go to hell wasn't doing me any good. So I put a smile on and force myself to do things.

Started running again.
 
Hey guys, how's the evening treating?

The cold side of the heat pump is basically in place. There's a few water cooled air handlers on the way- four, lol- but they'll be a snap to toss up when they get here. I finally feel like I can set the thermostat and expect the room to do it now. Up until now, I've been pushing the ragged edge so hard that close was good enough!

Now for the hot side. I had a somewhat sobering conversation with the old guy down at the plumbing supply shop. He said that hot water systems generally run at around 180°f, and that if my heat pump didn't get the hot water circuit up to at least 140 then I was going to have real trouble extracting enough heat to keep my house warm.

I'm expecting the heat pump to manage something like 110 or 120, so I've got some head scratching to do...

What exactly are you doing tty? I remember vaguely you mentioning this

You trying to heat your house with heat transfer from your grow?

Lol I've been heating my house with heat rejected from my grow op for years now! All that took was sticking my chiller inside for the winter, lol

The heat pump will carry this to the next level by allowing me the same flexibility in the use of heat as I currently have with all the circuits in my cooling system.

I'll heat growrooms for dehumidification, water heated forced air to heat my home, heat exchanger to heat my domestic hot water, plus circuits to heat my garage, patio, hot tub and possibly even a defrost circuit for my driveway.

I'll give you one of those descriptions per strain you put infront of me. Hahaha I am totally that type. bongsmilie
 
Yeah im not a huge weed aficionado.

It doesnt take much to get me to a mellow state. If I smoke too much I get the fear and I hate that. Cant think cant move.

Never used to. Im not sure what changed. But its probably for the best. Id be broke if I kept smoking as much as I used to. Id smoke 4-10 blunts a day.

I remember one time me my cousin and a friend of ours put in $10 per and got the bottom of some dudes lb bag. My cousin would give him a lot of custies so they were good friend. Was just under an oz of shake. Just commercial sticks and berries shit. After all the seed removal we were left with over a dozen blunts.

Dont remember much after. I think I passed out I was so wrecked.

This was before fear and anxiety got associated with weed. Now I build the shit up. Its not the weed its the fear of fear.

Fuck fear, There's only one fucking thing I've never had pulled on me and that's I've never been killed.
And that doesn't seem like it would be all that bad, come at me bro. I got not shit to lose , you know what I'm saying?

I used to be like that. Something happened over the past 6 years. Maybe ill toughen back up. I hope.

Like FDR said the only thing we have to fear is fear itself.

He was right. Is there something specific that paralysed you with fear? Ask yourself why it has that power and make a decision that it won't have that power anymore. Then... move forward, no matter how white your knuckles are. DOING IT is what gets you over it. It's what worked for my acrophobia- and I roofed and painted for years!

I had a panic attack smoking one time at some kids house I didnt even know. I swallowed a piece of burning ember and bugged myself out that I had burned my throat and kept coughing and ran out of breath which is prob what triggered it.

If im distracted or with good company I can toke toke toke. But if im home by myself smoking doing nothing I trick myself into fear. Its hard to explain. Sometimes ill get up and ill be walking and see my legs moving but wont feel them moving lol. I call it jello legs. Not sure if thats normal. Its all in my head.
 
Is it normal for lower leaves not getting any light to fall off easily?

This unknown seed has a thick canopy and i noticed as i was pruning some lower leaves it didnt take much for them to snap off. It also hasnt drank much since I gave it a new res of dry nutes a week ago at about the same feed.

Also I still have this leaf curl on the new growth on these pipe dreams. They are only getting 0.6-0.7EC of feed. Could this be too much? Their water level hasnt dropped much and only one has its feed dropping. pH goes from 5.6 to 6.0 daily.

It has been a bit chilly but thats not stopping other plants from chugging thru 3 gals in a week.
