Yes i am state side unfortunately i really wish i was in a medical or legal state, i really hate trying to order seeds its such a hassle i wish i could just walk into a shop and pick up some clones, i checked out that justfeminized.com a little bit ago and i wasn't able to find out if they shipped to the USA but i did find that they don't carry pick and mix serious seeds so yeah that wont work, I'm not really to worried about it I've got months before i need seeds i was just hoping i could get on that attitude deal because it would have added up to about $5.50 per seed for a variety of decent seed stock.
It seems to me that light proofing doors like that would be nearly impossible with traditional methods but i haven't seen whats on the other side of them, can i see some pics of the inside of the closet? What you could do is get a panel of some wood and cut it to the dimensions of the door frame then remove the doors from the door frame and glue them on to the panel then mount the panel to the door frame with hinges, you could also get some black tarp with a zipper and secure it to the inside of the door frame but that could create ventilation problems... Also just a few questions is your hood air cooled, what are the dimensions of your room, and that last time you tried to grow with the 400 watter were you using adequate ventilation?
Yeah the job situation here is pretty bad too, I've had my share of bad luck but damn losing your house and your job in the same time frame would be horrible, the closest i can come to that is losing my job and getting my car totaled by a drunk driver with in like 3 hours of each other. This is a great hobby i just wish i had some one in real life that i could share it with but i don't and unfortunately until my state goes legal or medical i wont.
[edit] I don't know what i was thinking with the doors, lol of course there is some type of support behind the ends of them other wise they would never close properly, so yeah cancel all that about the panel and the tarp lol...
The laws are so different there from state to state,you would think what's good for one state is good for the rest.I'm guessing then that you cannot buy seeds from states that allow medical growing.It would be great to be able to walk into a store and buy a clone,then grow your weed legally and make some money,we would all learn so much faster if it could be done without fear of arrest.
I'll take a pic tomorrow of the inside cos I can't fully open the doors until I move the bed.
I agree about the tarp and the ventilation,I had thought of installing some sort of runner on the bottom and maybe putting a sliding door of some sort there,in theory it does not seem so difficult or expensive.
I just have a regular reflector for now,I was thinking I wouldn't need a cool tube etc with just the 250w running,as for ventilation I was just gonna hole through the top shelf and then the ceiling to the attic and maybe a simple odour control would suffice until I bought a decent fan and filter,the problem with buying stuff here is that it is twice as expensive as buying on ebay but then you gotta run the customs gauntlet and whether they become suspicious if there's too much growing equipment going to the one address.
My previous grow with the 400w I guess was not technically ventilated right,I used one of the spare rooms in my old house and just some regular house fans,there was a vent built into the wall and that was it.
The dimensions of my current room are about 16-18' X 10 so it is quite big,I have a sofa in here,a double bed and some other furniture and there's still plenty of walking about room.
I have plenty of space for the tent but no way to explain it,I would prefer to use it,more light and more space = more bud.
You had some bad luck yourself also,life can be tough for no reason at all and change so drastically in an instant.
