Thundercat's Groooooooow

It's all good bro the pages add up fast some times and I can ramble sometimes when I'm typing. Other then moving nothing big to catch up on . But ya I'm gonna try to enjoy it, and use the chance to make some changes and improvements I hope. I'm considering buying some tents temporarily until we decide if we are gonna buy it. Then if we do there is a room separated in the basement that could work great but would need a lot of work. It was from back when the house had oil heat and was used for the oil storage. It's closed off right now. They said it had dirt floors and was dirty and creepy so they closed it off. I'm picturing digging down the dirt floor burying a res in the ground and putting in a nice well drained sub floor. It seems like it would be about a 10x10 which would great for flowering! Then I could put my veg room elsewhere. There's also a perfect spot outside for some raised Getty beds !

Woo! Sounds Fun TC! There's nothing like designing your own room from top to bottom! I'm positively green with envy!

Eh don't turn green on me MR , I won't have the money to really build it out for while. Just gonna be able to rough it in and get it up and running. hehe but if I do buy the house and build out a the room the way I'm thinking I gaurentee I'm gonna be smiling ear to ear for awhile. Should I be worried about how the room will look 4-5 years down the road if we try to sell the house, or just pass it off as an indoor veggy garden?

Hell yeah bro! Or you could amend the soil, and add in all the good stuff and whatnot & plant right smack in the ground! Would save you a hell of a lot on buckets/ air pots, and soil! Haha..

Hehe I hadn't considered that, its an interesting idea.

Or you could dig it out, lay concrete w pony walls and work from there....the skys the limit right?

Haha! Well, I guess you could say that. But in reality its his ceiling that's the "limit"..

Hahaha...

Hehehe well said Dank he's got you there Ninja .

I was thinking dig it down 6-8 inchs just to allow me to do some sort of drainage even if it was just 6 inchs of stone instead of dirt. Then I was thinking about sinking my res right down into the floor so the top was about 1-2 inchs above whatever I did as a sub floor. I really gotta get in the room to see whats even possible. The only thing I was thinking against using the floor as an actual dirt place to plant is that I'm kinda afraid it might draw pests into my basement. I don't know so many options if we buy it, I'll just have to decide what to do. A big reason I've wanted a bigger room was so that i can also try some different stuff. I can keep my current setup, and also start to toy with other ideas, perhaps something vertical, perhaps soil like I've talked about. I'm kinda excited about the cabinets on the walls I might turn them into clone cabinets. I was thinking about mylaring the inside and mounting a bunch of floros in there, and then perhaps a fan mounted at one end to blow right on down the shelves. If I set up all of the cabinets like that I could literally fit prolly 500 clones in them they are pretty good size! Not that I would ever have or need to have that many clones, now seedlings for a breeding project might be a different story hehe. Lol no I won't be going crazy like that unless I get to a legal state.

Ok i take it back lol i ment chinas the limit hahahaaaaa

Its funny you say that, I joked with my wife about digging a second room underneith that room, and putting in a floor with a trap door or something, but that would be very expensive and a ton of work.

Rome wasnt built in a day either

Hey bro, those "Dooms Day" people do this very thing! I think there's even a show about all of them getting ready for doomsday.

I got clones done tonight, and it was pretty interesting. I didn't end up with a single WW, or strawberry clone. I managed 4 SDG, 4 Cindy, 1 CJ I decided to keep it , all 3 powernaps, the big extrema, and I cloned the Sin's OG that was growing out alternating nodes already. It had a secondary branch that was reaching straight up like it wanted to take over so I went ahead and pulled the trigger. Its not a huge clone but looks great and is the first of her kind in my garden. Once these clones are rooted and in cups I'm certain that most of the other testers will be ready to be cloned. Maybe not all the platinum delights, but at least most of the Sin's OG. I will prolly do one more picture update before I move, maybe some tear down pics on moving day if I think of it. Then we'll see what I come up with for a new room.

Night guys TC

Hey bro... when digging make sure you don't undermine the walls of the structure above. You want to test and see how far down the walls go into the ground... see where they are buried to. Don't want to be digging out below the walls footings. Dig out say a 6 inch section to see what you are going to run into.

Wish I was there to help as well. Exciting times.

Hehe I'm glad you mentioned it, but thankfully it had crossed my mind. That was one of the big reasons I was only thinking about going down like 6 inchs, and also the biggest reason that digging a sub basement was totally a joke . You know once all your craziness is over if you and the family wanna take a trip east your always welcome bud!

That sub basement was what had me over here like AHHHHHHH! If you do end up digging... I would get a board that will cross the room and when you are finished digging put the board as a cross beam at the lowest point, holding the walls out against each other. Just so they don't think about creeping in.

And thanks. We like trips.

I know you guys do and hell I'm alot closer then the UK, though the UK is prolly WAY cooler! I like the brace idea too, I might even be able to find an old piece of rail road .

Whats up fellas .

Hey reklaw hows it going man! I've been out getting boxes today, and trying to find a truck. Also trying to round up some more cash to make everything easier in the move process. I sold an AC last night, tryin to sell a trailer, my big screen, a couple other things maybe. We'll see if we have any biters.
