lolll, for me the best way to deal with it is to make light. i try to keep myself away from the disabled mind set. having an 18 month old daughter to chase and wrangle has helped alot.
thank you very much fellas for the encouraging words. being a part of this community is a huge source of strength, motivation, and inspiration for me.

ill also share this here because its incredibly crucial information, and statistically we ALL know a person with an opiate problem...
when i overdosed i had been using iv heroin for 9 years. the amount of heroin that killed me was .05 grams. thats a half of a typical dose. 5-20$ worth depending. it wasnt very good dope either, i had been buying from the same batch all week. it was kinda tan grey in color, common in the south. dope that isnt black/brown tar is very commonly cut with chinese fentanyl and mixed in unevenly. this creates "hot pockets" of pure fentanyl. for those of you that dont know, fentanyl is incredibly strong. even cheap imported bulk chinese fentanyl is almost unimaginably strong when injected. . it is measured in micrograms, and a high level trans-dermal dose would be 100 micrograms an hour. .05 grams is 50,000 micrograms. let that sink in...
now thats not to say i shot 50,000 mcg of pure fentanyl, but imagine the potential for error when mixing this shit. then imagine the person thats mixing it. then imagine the cousin, nephew, sister, father, ect ect that you know to be at risk for opiate abuse... the average user is still unaware of these issues in most parts of the usa.

all im saying is, please try to find a way to bring this up. most users will understand a harm reduction mentality... so your presenting it like "im not telling you to stop, (even though you need to) but please be careful for this reason" unfortunately there is no shortage of news stories about bad batches of "heroin" wiping out dozens of users in a single town in a 48 hr period. so maybe you happen to read a story like that in the news, and bring it up casually.
i just want to point out that this (opiate abuse) is a fucking epidemic we all need to be aware of, and the new dangers of heroin use are growing exponentially. please talk to your friends and family about this. even if they dont have a problem, i promise you they know someone who does.


my ex-wife (completely gone from my life)was a chronic opiate abuser for decades...mix that in w/2packs of smokes...xanax...suboxone...& beer 24/7 & she had a stroke...

bless u namless for your recovery

ok ok. 3 weeks on the glue bed... this is where they stopped stretching. six feet including the bed. blockbusters still sitting on top of them, havent seen ant stunting on the tops i dont know why. trich production has begun in earnest. i have the de cmh 630s on deck but i forgot i needed longer power cords for the on board ballasts. they came with these 120 to 240v plug adapters but that sketches me out. hopefully the smartvolts arrive soon. hit 86 degrees yesterday... sketch

yeah man its the same ogchem x cj i yanked out of that pack from people under the stairs. shes a stable queen in these parts. yall know i like to worry ab stuff... im a little less worried this time around. things should continue to improve, plants are looking healthy despite high temps. nailed up the bed where it had dropped down, did another round of gnatrol with the water tonight... gotta get more yellow cards too. raised the lights over the two huge glue mothers i have... i really need to take a round of cuts off them. they were growing into the t5s, had to prune half a dozen would be viable cuts. so i need a 14-20 day break after this run to dry in the room and then do some rebuilding. that means i need to bide my time a little more before i take cuts from the glue, dont want another overvegged batch of twiggy alien bastards in the dead of summer. and i want the second run in the new bed to be blue dream, shes vegging along nicely. by the time im ready to take those cuts ill probably have to redo some moms...
got caught up on archer and better call saul tonight. im digging dreamland... speaking of...

i gotta say, its all in the dirt for me. my style of growing is very much by feel. i wish i could agree that this all came together quickly for me but the honest answer is that this new room is the culmination of a decade of research, trial by error, and truckloads of flaming cash. but part of the reason i put all my info out here is so folks can take advantage of all my mistakes. using organic soil and growing in beds are the two biggest game changing pieces of advice for me personally. hopefully ill be adding cmh lights to that short list... anyway, try and stick it out man. attics are one of the most challenging places to try and grow in, as you know. but if you can get in the zone with your environment things will fall into place. let me know if you have any specific questions i might be able to help with.

yeah im pretty confident it will be an improvement. i wouldnt have dropped 1300 on a set if i was unsure. but ive been wrong before. time will tell. ive decided im going to hang the lights inline like the blockbusters and see what kind of footprint they throw

useless.gardens

you're gonna put both over 1 bed? or a unit over each?

saving amps w/ leccy is important. but cmh makes better frost than hps. no lie i flowered with mh for years.

the only thing i dont like about de is the price of the bulbs.

on the flips side what you're using is designed for a horti purpose. went & cheched them out.
GC looks like a very nice lamp set-up.

just finished hanging the new rigs, moving the blockbusters, 7 PBRs and a half a pepperoni cock. lights look amaaaazing. i think temps holding at 80 with the new bed set to 750 on each hps. no shit i looked the new light in the eye for a sec and was face blind for half a beer. plus i bought at least 6" of headroom they are low pro fo sho.

oh i put them both over the glue and the two blockbusters over the mixed bed @ 750

im excited about doing a glue mono vs a blue dream mono both with 630s next round. so while i was switching lights i noticed some of the tops on the glue were getting stunty, hopefully they recover from that easily under the cmh. also noticed some brown tips on some pistils on the outside edge of the glue bed. going to continue to keep an eye on that.
