Nice scoreI was getting my gear ready today for this Wed. found 2 joints, a $20, & 3 packs of smarties
Had my first ski of the season at wolf creek last Saturday in 2 ft of pow. I could almost pretend there is no Covid ... till lift line...
Busy weekend... Got my wedding cake seeds started on Saturday. Sunday I moved the drivers for my diy lights outside the grow room, redid the insulation on my buckets and reset everything so I'm ready to start growing again next weekend.

Looks like an operating room in there sister. Nice!
Thanks! Hopefully I got all the spores, still smells a bit like bleach in there. Crazy how much of a difference it makes not having the drivers in there. I was hitting 83° with all three lights at full blast and all my fans running. I did a test yesterday with all three lights at full and only using my exhaust and it was 77°.

I’m ignorant about that stuff. Idk wtf a driver is lol. I hang bare 1000 watt hps and crank the a/c. lol as long as they grow, we’re good!
lol driver is the power supply for LED's. We're heading into the best time of year for growing IMO. The furnace is on and our humidity is 45% and my basement stays at 68° around the clock. This will be my first winter exhausting outside instead of into the basement.

FYI we finally may get to harvest! I can’t remember the last time I had to trim. I shouldn’t say this. The Stilton looks niiice. 2 snow temples were male and the other is chugging along.
Should be 4 weeks or so on the Stilton, knock wood.

They are just 600 watt SolisTek DE bulbs and the hoods are not cooled, so they do get hot...I only have 2 of them. I'm thinking about buying a new ballast or 2 and trying some 750 watt DE bulbs....or maybe biting the bullet and trying some LED's
It's a 25 year old carrier furnace, I don't know much about it other than how to turn it on and off lol. I've been having problems with it eating belts and the a/c part under our deck froze up over the summer and stopped blowing cold air. We're probably going to replace it in the spring with a high efficiency unit while they still have the big rebates available.
yea pretty much the same as a ballast. They get really hot. the third light looked like a lot of work to move the driver so I'm going to leave that one in the room.
Congrats! Can I live vicariously through you? No vagina time for me lol Partner is back to work and It's my first entire day alone in almost six weeks. I love her company but I kinda missed having a few hours of me time every day.FYI we finally may get to harvest! I can’t remember the last time I had to trim. I shouldn’t say this.

The price of electricity varies a lot.
The price in my area isn't bad but it recently went from 8 cents to 10.4 per kilowatt hour, which is a hefty increase!
Yet nobody seems to be talking about it.
Everyone is distracted by election drama and the pandemic.
Do you get larger harvests in the cooler months?

I'm running 2 315W CMH's in open hoods. It seems to be working. I'm going to rearrange my room to get more space between plants before I flower again.

The people I know who run DE love em, but they mostly prefer 1,000 watt.
I used to run old school hortilux HPS bulbs and for some reason 600w was always more expensive than 1,000w.
Go figure...
LED lights are awesome but still kinda pricey. DIY kits are the way to go if you are comfortable with tools and can follow directions.
I watch craigslist for grow gear and there doesn't seem to be as much legacy gear out there compared to a year ago.
Hmm... maybe it's a good time to sell some of my old hoods & ballasts.
Christmas is right around the corner...
