The Flying Circus

Twin I need to get on your level man with the A/C. That may be my next purchase so I can assure temps in the summer months coming. However, it'll probably have to wait for until I have some funds maybe after this harvest comes in.

I really like the ingenuity with the worm stakes too mane. Right on!!! I wish I had some outdoor space like that. It would be awesome. #alldayinthegarden

Awesome man, hot air good bye!

No I am not getting payed to test, I got $160 worth of seeds for free so I'm not complaining. As far as testing goes smooth the only way to know is to ask, the guy at SCS told me he gets 3-4 emails or calls a day about it. I'd email some companies your interested in using their gear, and make sure to reference your experience and what you can do to show off their stuff!

Thanks TC for the heads up. I just don't know anybody yet really so it's hard to get an "in" with someone you know? I've definitely enjoyed working with the BB strains I have. It's really interesting especially since I battle with temps quite a bit. I don't know if a breeder or seed company would think my work this far warrants free seeds though. I would definitely like to test for BB. And after looking over Gage Genetics I wouldn't mind testing their's either. Do I just email them from their website's and provide a link to my grows? If that's the case I should probably see if I can pick up some more people subbing. lol. I need to post more!!

Its gonna be cooling down by the time you harvest! Pick up some side work fuk cut some grass or wash some cars take that buy an ac then your more likely to get a bitching harvest thus making everything better


Yeah bro, just build up your resume' (journals haha) and link them, great idea!


I think I'll take a break next summer though. Grow all this summer, fall, winter, and spring then cool off for a little... Hopefully by then I'll have some $$$ saved up and I can focus on a legit business. When I eventually run out of funds because I sank it all into the legit biz I'll pick up growing pot again lol

Idk man it stays pretty warm during the summer. I don't really have a lot of time for side work. Although I suppose I'm "wasting" some posting and reading through the journals...haha. I've seen some of those portable A/C's for like $270 new. Maybe I can find one cheaper on craigslist or something. Mmmmm next research project. I'm gonna be doing this for a while so an A/C is definitely worth the cash.

I'm gonna work on my resume. lol. I just need to spend some more time in the forums and such too.

Sounds like you got a plan in mind. What kind of business? Pot should be your legit business.

I wouldn't suggest getting a portable a/c, from what Iv read they are very inefficient, but if thats your only option then you gotta do what you gotta do.

Pot should be my legit business
Im going to expand the garden by about 12x the size it is now, and try to sell some veggies at the market. Im also developing my tea packs, I think it will be a viable venture... Figured out how much it cost me for each gallons worth of dry mix when purchasing in very semi bulk and I def think its something I can work out! Im not going to mention more about it though,,, Id like to keep "whodat" separate from that for sure.

Yea they aren't. a 5k btu uses 580W so about $23 a month for it to run but it should cut down on the central ac usage. I keep it around 78F when lights are off or not growing....(<---not growing...yea right...lol). I can pick up a used one for $175.

That's actually what I want to do, make growing my legit business. Needs start up cash though. Working on that. Yea I hear you on the keeping personal and business separate. Plus I wouldn't want you to over-share and lose a competitive edge. I like the idea though. Good shit. hah.

My neighbors grow habanero peppers and make salsa and sell it at a fresh market. I should ask them what kinda money they make from it. I could easily do that. Maybe I could grow for them. My pops has some killer habanero's he grows. I've been growing those fuckers for years, among other peppers of course, tomatoes, and cucumbers. Thanks for the idea Twin (previous post on side money).

walmart has new 5,000 btu window a/c's for $99.84. cof

That does look awesome. I really like earthed in structures, verry efficient. Adobe is excellent. I'd love to live in something like that.

Ya I've always thought so.. I really like the earthship home designs.

Thanks for the heads up cof. TC that greenhouse design is saaawweeeet. I really wish I had the ability to grow outdoors. It'd make life so much easier. Them veggies are looking good Who.

haha, well theres allot more going on outside. Me thinks the next thread will be flying circus 2.0

thanks everyone.

hey whodat, just looking over your setup. I know your the man and you have some kickass ideas, and im not trying to "Change" anything because your grows are excellent, and i think you did a great f'in job. The only thing i could suggest for you is how i set up my floor. I Put a bunch of holes in the floor with the intake as low as possible going under it with an air filter. the filter has a diffuser on it and the floor is about 1' above this filter diffuser box(made with cardboard and tape and home depot sheet metal). the exhaust is opposite that hole at the top. if you end up going with air pots what this does is helps air get up through your root zone and makes the plants more vigorous, hope I could help!!
oh yeah and also some people just use an oscillating fan and suspend the air pots with pvc and straps and build a rigid frame for the plants to hang from it a little off the floor

Thanks nizza. When I first built these boxes I had a floor like that in mind actually but decided against it for the extra head room. These boxes were meant for a horizontal set-up in the beginning but one thing let to another and I went the vert rout.
Iv thought about having airstones in pots before but man things are complicated enough for now lol Im gonna hold off on it for a while.


Thanks for the idea/suggestion/thoughts, always appreciated. To you folks creeping out there, I wouldn't be where Im at if I wasn't accepting of constructive criticism and open to new ideas and new thinking please holla if you got something to say. Hope I dont come across as otherwise...

Anyway, got nice and baked then did the lawn, thats a job in itself lol


Oh, brushed up agains a bullhorn,,,, smells like a big bag O' dank already nice. (day 10~ 12/12)
