I'm sure u will need some proof of address of some kind hell it only takes a cable bill to swap over your license anyhow.
 
ok so! My investor ran into some financial troubles of his own so I will no longer be receiving money from him in order to build the grow room of my dreams right off the bat. I've spent the day thinking of ways I could cut costs but not be stuck with things i wont use when I am able to build the grow room of my dreams. I am curious about the use of T5's in the veg stage. How much more beneficial would it be to have a hps in the later veg stages. If there isn't a huge difference I could save some serious cash for now. Also something im curious about, I love making medibles, hash, bho. Is it common for RI caregivers to offer medibles and extracts to their patients?

Hey man long time. I use only a 2ft 2bulb that costs me a few bucks a month to run my veg. I have 740w of led for flowering but since its on 12/12 only, I cut costs by heavy amount. I suggest starting with small cfl or fluorescent lights for veg. Flowering uses much less electricity, ya'llmeen? You just have to find the right patient that will buy medibels and hash, but I'm sure there are many who would buy them if you expected low reimbursement.

umm that is not right, flowering uses more power then veg, you said you have 740w 12 hours a day = 8,880 watts per day
I am not sure what 2ft your running but a 2ft 8 bulb T5 is 192w 18 hours a day =3,456 per day

I use 5,184 watts per day in veg and 14,400 watts per day in flower.

This is an investment that you will only get out what you put in. I would recommend that you use T5's for veg and HPS for flower. Your best low budget option is most likely CFLs. Jusr remember you need two sets of bulbs, one set for veg, and one set for flower.

Every grow room is constructed in a different environment, each having its own set of unique circumstances. There are so many variables that should be considered. Find your space first, and then plan to buy equipment that will maximize what you can get from the space and your budget.
O yeah and get this into your head now, the sooner you understand and accept it the better off you will be… your grow room will never be “done” you will always have something you want to improve/expand.

I meant flower uses only 12 hours, instead of 18. Not the amount of light you have per room but how long those lights are on for.
 
niccee yeo broken turtle how many plants u got under ur LED's and how much are u pullin per plant on avg?? aha yeah madmikeri i feel u on the room is never done state of mind but if i had ten grand id invest every penny in a fully self contained water cooled system with a big ass chiller and co2 tanks on full blast 12 hours a day.
 
what u guys think would be a fair donation for a package of four chocolates (13 point lightning bolts) with a gram of flower in each? hows about a medicated milkshake with 1.5 in it? gram of bho?

He's talking about making them. When getting in more variety of items, people in ri, I fell like, will shy away from buying them. I think you are better off harvesting all the medicine and selling them as is. Use the trimming to make trim hash and smoke it yourself. If you get high off trim hash, theres more product for you to sell. Besides, you always get massive amount of trim hash if you shake them right. Check out my journal man, in my avatar. They are young at the moment, got about 4-5 weeks to go, but I expect 1-3 oz dry off each. We'll see. I can't talk too big.
 
sounds good yeah any edible i make would be like 5 bucks, 15 for 4. Allways test the goods before i give em out. Thinking to myself now the best way to medicate hard apple cider. Def trying to have oil and bubble available for my patients.
 
Im gettin nothin but good vibes from LBH and tamorin alike and def will be hitting up the sunday night meet n light group, might get into RIPAC as well not sure gotta ask around a bit more about that.
 
Waiting for my prospective roomate to stack some paper, desperately searching for the perfect place, soo many scammers on craigslist. Definitely within a month.
 
wat up peeps,

I was on the RIPAC website and wanted to go to one of the meetings. Most of the meetings are for mmj patients only. If I'm not a mmj patient YET, can I still go to the meet n light, or any other meetings, or do I have to wait till I get my card?

Best Regards

cant help ya sativaXindica BUT

Im comin up to providence / bristol the friday after halloween to look for a pad and a job!! So excited haven't been in the ocean state since April. I might make my appointment with 11th state for then but sure yet, might wait till i have a finalized address to call my own to do so. Anyone got any ideas where I should be looking for work?? I'm a college dropout and I'd like to think I've got some people skills. Fast learner past jobs include warehouse work (forklift operation etc.) , installations on cell phone tower sites, driving range attendant at Westchester Country Club (i hate golf now because of this place) and now i'm currently a moving man (packing and lifting furniture, boxes whatevaa) I haven't medicated in almost 2 weeks just so I could be ready for a urine test if it happened to come my way. Working so much without my medicine has really got my back and mind in a frenzy. I also quit cigs this week. If I wasn't working so much I would have probably gone insane by now.
