ive had a few dodgy ones up ladders with either being hungover or just plain fuckin lazy, i dont tend to think much about health and safety, i learned my trade in the late eighties and early nineties before all this h&s stuff went mental, for instance i never wore steel toe caps onna site or a hardhat and the only guys with hi viz on were architects and owners. i never had any serious hits but i slid down aroof on my arse and picked up too much speed to stop for the scaffolding, actually had to launch myself off and land onna couple of ton of sand, absolute fluke!! it was only 1 story up but it felt a helluva lot more at the time lol, i was only 17 at the time and gloriously stupid(not much changed apart from the age mind you). heights only bother me for the first half hour workin and then it just fades into the background and as the day goes on i get more adventurous/retarded. guy i know fell 30 feet off a roof and landed flat on his feet, still standing. totally fucked him up, crushed all his organs together by pushin his pelvis up and fuckin compound fractures of his hips, he survived and eventually went back to work but was never the same again.

1000 watt hps(600 & 400), miracle grow soil, bio bizz nutes, around 5 weeks vegging from seed, homemade c02 and treacle for the last 3 weeks of flower, tent was 1.2m x1.2 m x 2m, took1 plant out and put it in a cupboard witha 400hps, 10 litre pots.( think that about covers it, basic old school soil grow) u should get a decent grow with your lights ,yeah although i most definetly believe that hps is the best way as long as you can afford to deal with the heat/running cost probs. in saying that im gaunna rig up sum sub canopy cfl on my next grow:fire:

Running cost of the HPS was my worry, think i'll be ok though, but wanted to keep it down for as long as pos hence the veg on 250cfl... heat shouldnt be a prob hopefully... room is .89x1.12x1.9m air intake is pumping in 85m3 and i got 2 oscilating fans, gonna get the same fan for extractin into carbon filter then into attic space.

When I was single, I used to think when I get a girlfriend, I'll stop wanking.

Now that I'm married, I think as soon as she leaves the house, I'll start!

alright mate you want to get a stronger exhaust fan than your intake fan and i've got the same size tent as dura 1 inlet fan 1 exhaust fan 1 12inch fan 1 6inch fan and 600hps all run 24/7 apart from the light and it costs me about £30pw and i struggle with the heat in my space the radiator in the room is turned off and the window is open whenever the light is on and the last couple of days i've had to leave the tent door open a little and thats just to keep them at 27c and i'm in s.wales it's cold here mate

Lookin at the first one or maybe the second one on that page, should be more than enough, about double the extraction than intake with ducting and carbon filter (cheaper anywhere else?)... how loud are those fans though, my intake atm is a standard bathroom extraction fan, not to noisy but can hear it when in that bedroom, have to walk past spare bedroom to go to the bathroom, so dont want it to sound like a jet is taking of, will kinda kill the stealth ness, n my dads a nosey fucker lol

sorry m8 aint heard of that strain there are so many different strains, im shore if you put it in the searcg ur find some1 whos grown it.

as for pruning i personally dont take anything off apart from maybe a few scraggles around the bottom of the main stem, dont take large fan leaves off it does more harm than good imo.
