I'm just getting started, but I assume, it is spent or stashed and reimbursed for all the money spent getting seeds to buds. Depending on size of deposits and how you set yourself up, money into you account shouldn't be too much of a problem, after all there ARE plenty of CASH business that are legitimate and legal who's to say you didn't start a small PT one. But Safe Deposit Box's are probably a pretty good idea also.
I'm not so sure it will matter that much. I would think this is something to take into consideration if you are trying to separate assets so that if you are 'busted' and a the gov want to take away assets and you want paper trail to try to defend yourself.
Easier than you think if you don't mind working at it. But then again if you establish yourself as having a business you can avoid a lot of these kind of headaches. You can even set up the business in a way that it is in a related field (flower delivery, horticulture advisory, gardening, ect) an keep everything very vague as to the detailed description of the business, file taxes on it, ect.
More headache than it is worth, no need. Besides 5-8K per deposit is large enough to get money into your account without reports generated. Besides it is not that big of a deal if you are depositing a couple of big deposits anyways, all that happens is the IRS is notified that you had a large deposit they don't flag it as a drug deposit and have someone contact you for reasons, besides if it doesn't happen all the time who's to say you didn't win the money in a poker game? (hint, hint)
Every question you have asked is how to evade taxes, so I would say Tax evasion IS your cup of tea, you just don't want to get caught drinking. Otherwise start a business and file taxes on the income you generate from that business otherwise you ARE committing tax evasion period. If you are in Cali or another MM state it would be easier to set up.
Oh yeah I am not an attorney or anything like that so don't take this too seriously.

So have I.
So far they're all 100+ dollars plus 50+ shipping, not to mention the price of the cooltubes...
Do you know if there are cooltubes for sale without the reflector?

I've been trying to find these too as the attached reflectors seem ridiculously dinky and inefficient.
The cool tubes at HTG seem reasonably priced as far as cool tubes go and I'm trying to contact them now to see if the reflector is removable. From the pics, it looks like it is. But then I'm essentially paying 85 dollars for a plastic tube and a cord
.EDIT: Hey AL, what do you think of this prefabricated grow kit as a veg room? It seems to be a great deal, though somethings aren't necessary. Only $340 for a light, reflector, trays, mylar, and other shit. I'd prolly ditch all the organic crap. Would this suit a veg room nicely and can it be DIY'ed for a significantly cheaper price?

It is glass, the reflector is removable.

Powerplant Adjustawing Mantis Pro Reflector just seen this one Al fits all size bulbs for £65
Not sure if two bulbs can be used though, will delve a little deeper into sites, thanks for the reply
Functionally, it'll probably do the same thing as genuine AAWs, depending upon the sort of reflective surface they use. Looks like the Mantis has 2 focus settings. AAWs have 10 for wing focus plus a vertical slipper tube mount. The slipper mount will go on the shelf if you retrofit cooltubes, tho.
So have I.

AAWs are going to be exxy wherever you look. Accent owns some patents on a certain flavour of the batwing design. The Mantis could be close to infringement. When you own a patent on something, you can be the sole maker or licensor of a product design- and so keep prices higher than a happy cat's ass. I do like the feature on the Mantis which allows independent focus adjustment of either side of the wing, tho. Would suit my trays 1 & 2 better than the AAWs.
Yes, you can get them with or without refs, the latter is usually intended for vertical mounting. I couldn't get the size I wanted without refs, so the tinsnips took out the refs on the 150 x 500mm tubes I did buy. The refs were fixed to a supporting frame with some pressed-in Pem nuts, which I wished to preserve for the hanger screweyes, so the reflector had to be cut out.
what prefabricated grow kit?
Almost anything can be DIYed cheaper- except flood trays. Vacuformed PVC trays beat anything you can make yourself and are not that exxy- 900mm^2 trays cost me $52. Cost out the items separately and compare.

Thanks Al
Am currently bidding on ebay for the large adjustawing
The ref itself is made of two sheets of ally. They are joined by keyhole slots on one panel and riveted discs on the other, which fit into the keyhole slots.
When assembling AAWs, the panels should first be fitted to each other, then the ref can be bent and put under tension. Improperly assembled AAWs (tensioned first then panels joined) can have damaged keyhole slots or discs. Ask the seller about that- make sure the ref you're bidding on is intact and hasn't been bolted or riveted to get around broken discs or deformed keyhole slots. .

hey al i believe you said you use 125L tanks for you tables. I was wondering if i will need the same size or bigger for my set up...table 1 and 2 combined for a 2'x4' table and tables 3 and 4 are both 2'x2'. maybe i can go smaller with the 2'x2's and maybe a lil bigger on the 2'x'4' ?

My tables are 820mm x 820 x 75mm flood depth, so the volume required to flood is ((820*820)*75) = 50,430,000 cubic millimetres (cc) or 50.43L. Thus, I need a bit less than half the 125L to flood the trays. About 1/5 the 125L (25L) is needed to keep the pump submerged in the common dollar shop storage tubs used for tanks.
If your tanks are undersized, nute strength will have a tendency to bump up as a higher proportion of water is sucked up compared to the amount of nutrient used. If tanks are sufficiently sized, nute strength will remain constant even though the tank level is dropping.
Calculate your tray flood volume as I have and use a tank about double that figure in volume.

Plain old 175mm black plastic pots.
Available darn near anywhere, check your locality for a garden plastics supplier for the cheapest prices. I buy my pots from Garden City Plastics in stacks of 70 for $AUD 0.45 per pot.

bb1, read the first post in the thread and your Q's will be A'ed.
IM SORRY AL B I know these questions been anwsered because iv acutally read them but iv been looking for the past 25 min and cant find them.
What specific nutes do you use for each tray.
What is your ppm and tempeture at
Also im going to use pellets and was wondering how often and how long i should flood for?
Sorry again for the questions that been anwsered
THanks!

All flowering tanks get Canna Flores, 1400ppm @ 5.8 (400ml ea A & B in 125L tank of 7.1 tapwater). Tank 3 gets 50ml of Canna PK-13-14 for the plants in wk5 in tray 2. All tanks get 1 tsp Epsom Salts when a fresh tank is mixed as well as 10ml of Canna liquid calcium. All tanks are dosed with H2O2, 50% grade @ 1ml/litre every 3-4 days to control pathogens. Tank temp is not critical in a flood system and is not monitored nor adjusted. Water loses its dissolved O2 rather quickly at 27C and above but my tanks can't possibly reach that temp as the room air doesn't exceed 25C.
Flood pellets 3x per lights on in the beginning, make sure the flood level is below any RW cubes nested in the pellets. Flood time is dependent upon how long it takes your pumps to flood to the overflow tube level. The pump should run long enough to fill to the overflow level, then shut off.

Allright Al, I am trying this idea in a soil,clay pellet, and mostly cocofiber composite. They are in 3 foot long, 12 inch high,10 inch wide pots, and i am putting 6 clones per pot.
Obviously because of the medium, it will take more time. I think i have cut it down some with the cocfiber, and the high blue mh i am using.What i am wondering, is there anything that i should know explcitily for a soil grow like this? I figured you would be the one to ask about the sea of green type things. Sorry for going off the topic you were one.

Can't advise you on soil, sorry. I really don't know why you're mixing soil with pellets and coco, either. The usual point of using inert media i.e. pellets & coco coir is to permit frequent flooding with a nutrient solution- which you won't be doing in soil.
More curious yet if you're using the MH to flower- and why.
If you're a new grower, I would strongly disadvise trying new things. Find an op that works and copy it to the letter. If it works for someone else, it will work for you if you duplicate every aspect of the known working grow op. Don't make changes, even little ones.
Experienced growers can (and should) try small experiments running parallel with their grow ops, which already operate with established techniques.
Newbs, who don't have an established op which is reliably delivering buds, will find that experimental methods are a great way to long periods with no weed.
