Maybe where you live perhaps, but here if you don't pay income tax you go to jail, or must pay back the tax department.
Have you looked the law up? In the US they just tell you it's a law, but it really isn't a law I watched a show about it.. Lol

Thanks bud, think it was a ph issue from what I can tell and watering problem, weed can bounce back so we will see tonight when I get home if they have perked up, but may take a few days, nutes have been dropped way back also, going to play it bit more carefully. Soil grow is cruising along fine though

Cool, hope it helps with heat.

im really glad I did soil also, at least I have a backup to my hydro. It's so touchy, one day they are all looking great the next its ph issues and problems.

im considering buying a reverse osmosis system so I can get pure water, it's to expensive to buy 40 liters of distiller each week

Maybe cheaper in the states, I know in China its super cheap to buy bottles of distilled water but here in Australia water seems more expensive

Haha, but if it helps with temps and stuff, I have been having constant issues the last few days. Temps and humidity PH and stuff, they seem to be perking up a bit though tonight, so I have hope the top growth will come in well and the roots heal up a bit. I guess we will see and happy new year btw.

Yeah hopefully it turns out good! And happy new year! I might have a problem. See I live in my parents house, they moved out of state, and the roof leaked a little bit and I told my mom now she has an insurance adjuster coming to look at roof guess I will just have to make sure lights are off when he comes.

Oh your ventilation is into the attic, I remember you saying that in one of your posts. Will that be an issue or do you think you can take that down and keep the guy out of where you don't want him? That's the benefit of my grow, stealth...but I think growing in a tent can be more stable environment. Perhaps he will ask to see all the house for damage etc. Not sure what you can do there.

Let me know what you figure out but stay stealthy and make sure he doesn't find your grow, bad if he tells your mother perhaps, worse if he calls the po po

Well the leak is in the kitchen.. Not anywhere else in the house. If he does ask to go in there what do I do lol just say that there's not a leak in there?

Yeh should be alright just if he was going to check other places to make sure I don't know my family just renovated the front part of their house and the builders measured everything in every room so was not sure about the insurance people, maybe checking the attic and other places for leaks

I convinced her it wasn't that bad and that I would fix it hahaha it can't be that hard to take some sealant and caulk the small hole

Your not using a cool tube so do the back of the hand test, hold your hand above the top of your plant for 10-30 seconds, if it feels warm move the light up an inch and try again till you have no heat. You don't have to much stretch so you could move light little higher if you feel the need regardless of heat test.

it looks a little like its curling but not serious, if your humidity is ok just get some ph balanced water at 6.0-6.5 and mist your plants with it once a day, top of leaves and bottom, they will absorb the moisture. Believe me I have much worse heat swings at the moment and plants don't take long to recover from changes in temps, if you can control it better of course but if not don't stress if it's only minor, major heat stress will look like this

I moved the light up just a bit. It's only 75.4° in there but that doesn't mean it can't get heat stress right? My humidity is only 37%
