Hobby Growing with Friends

[killabrown420]

TB! Good to see ya gal! I'm done in december, boy I can't wait. I got a trip to hawaii lined up when I graduate, aloha babY! I've taken special ed classes and learned about the types of speech problems kids go through, they are not easy to overcome but with enough support at home and at school he should be fine. It's good to see ya again TB, don't be a stranger.

Hie, the cracks turned out OK, one of them was a bit better than the other yield wise, they suffered the same fate as all the plants that have been in there lately...heat and humidity kills! GOOD NEWS! I got tired of trimming small fluffy buds and went straight to casa depot and picked up an a/c. I just installed it outside...

I now have co2, a/c, mini-dehumidifier, carbon filter...anyone think of anything else I could possibly cram into my cab??? lol The a/c has a thermometer setting so I can set it and forget it, now if I can figure out how to have cooler temps at night I'll be set. The mini-dehumidifier has brought the humidity into the mid 50's...so hopefully this next grow and all successive grows will be in ideal conditions. It's only taken me a couple years to get the cab pimped out completely...now lets see what she can do...

Man,what a crappy year so far,but I see light at the end now.The house is about finished outside now,the electrical inspection is tomorrow.Mother in law lost 30 years of stuff in her basement,and has to do a tear down to the studs and floor joists to repair her damage from the floods.She didn't have insurance...I did,and I do now on the new place.

TB!!! Wassup girl? Yeah,it has sucked...but is only getting better.We custom designed the place,going from a base plan,and eliminating all hallways,and adding lots of custom accessories like his and hers closets,jack and jill bath vanity,and a jacuzzi tub.But the pretty stuff is the hand rubbed stain and two coats of laquer on all the wood trim,and mahogany doors.When we get done,it should be a contender for country living magazine,except we live in town!

We are expecting some baby birds in the next couple of weeks,green naped lorys,so we are going to be parents in another fashion soon.They are like 2 year olds on crack that never grow up,they are the clowns of the parrot world.But it takes a long time before they learn to talk.I'm betting when he does start to talk,he will have quite a bit to say.Gimme a holler on messenger when ya get the time.Good to see ya again.How is "M"?

Indo,imma going with 5.5 lbs,I know the big clubs weigh heavy.Wish I had that right about now,sure would be fun just coming into a new place.I'd never get out of my chair except to change the batteries in the remotes.

Killa,she is right ya know...pretty much been here the whole time with you,hell,you taught me hydro..Hawaii,hmmm,now if I can get a crop done by november we may have to start talking about meeting there,the wife wants to go again when we pull the next crop.Were going to be in the house in the next two weeks,we hung all the ceiling fans today,and the electrician finished out.Now it is all interior.Let's smoke some pakalolo in hawaii,and we will watch you surf.

 

[hieagle420]

Killa-- leave the A/c on 24/7.. and it will always stay cool.. we are gonna have to get together after you graduate and have a smoke out..

Outame-- house looks like it comeing together nicely.. i bet you cant wait to get in it.. Keep IT Green and Stay Safe.. HE

here are some updated pics..

Glad to see things are looking up for ya ~O, ya deserve it! Hawaii? Hell, Im lucky to go or see anything besides my own backyard. Canada is cool, live near the border been there a hundred times over. The good thing about that is I can take weed over the border and no one ever checks. But on the way back, we are totally clean! EEK!

Went to Las Vegas for the second time back in January (no kids!, but oh sooooo cold there), had to take two planes because we needed to leave and be back at specific times and ya cant smoke cigs. at the Houston airport (WTF?!); so I'll never do that again (two planes).

Anyhoo, gambled slots all my life, and then I met the roulette wheel. OMG, if you can get me off that thing! I was so drunk that I got cut off in vegas!! Like literally, they cut me off! I started with 40.00 and walked away with 280.00. I've never accomplished that on slots. I'm a happy clumsy drunk though so that's good. I spilled my beer so many times on that roulette table, that I asked them why they didn't have a side table for my beer.

One of my friends just moved to Vegas (Union welder) a few months ago and he loves it. I dont know if you guys remember but my husband has wanted to move to vegas forever now and one of our friends finally bit the bullet. Ya never know! School system sucks there though.

Hey Killa, Congratulations!! Almost time to send out those 300 resumes! Your so right about my son (apraxia). He has an IEP and Im quite a loud mouth, pushy parent when it comes to anything to do with him. Quite a roller coaster I've been on, but I think we're coming in on top most of the time. From the research I've done; his brain sends messages to his mouth but his mouth isn't cooperating. He actually can get quite violent at times, but we're working through that the best we can. He can approximate, he knows some signs. But again, he is quite spoiled (im working on that ). What's your major killa?

Thank you HIEagle for the offer, I'll let ya know! I need to make sure I can actually finish a grow before I start one. UGH!

Sorry to be soooo off topic, but I know you guys; so who cares! :friends:

Hey babe,I think I'll have a beer and sit for a second.Vegas huh?Got pretty drunk to get cut off eh?.I was there in '79,and it was 97 degrees at midnight.If yer still thinking of moving,go to Reno.Lake Tahoe is an hour away,and lots of good Cali bud is available.

It has been a roller coaster ride this year here too,harvested my biggest plant ever,then the house burns down with a three foot tall IPBB plant ready to flower that had to be trashed before the fire marshall got there that afternoon to determine the cause of the fire.

He never went into the growroom...but if I hadn't got rid of it,he sure would have.Better safe than locked up.Then the flooding here,didn't affect us,but it did the mother in law.Lost the topper to our wedding cake that you are supposed to have on the one year anniversary,pictures,furniture,pretty much all of our stuff,but we did save some stuff.

I start training for med tech,cpr,and a bunch of other training soon,got me a good paying job in the medical field now,pretty easy also,just been waiting on the builders to get the house done,and about two or three more weeks it,and we, will be ready.

Here is the new grow room,plenty big for four good sized plants complete with ac,ventilation,RO,vinyl flooring,and charcoal filtering.I went in the place today with no ac,and it was about 20 degrees cooler than outside.

I put the mail box on the house today,made me feel good to do that,because I know in a couple of weeks I get to live and grow in it.Some other perks are that we get a rebate from the power company for $400 bucks for getting an energy efficient heat pump,they give us a discount for all electric,and we will save about half on our power bill by having all energy star appliances.I wonder if 1000 watts of HPS counts as an energy star appliance?

Well,I guess I'll scrape the stem of the bong for a couple of resin hits and go fold clothes...woo hoo! Peace...

 

[hieagle420]

Killa-- as promised here is my buddies grow.. most have already been harvested. but he has got more... his setup is a 400HPS and a 400MH.. soil grown and foxfarm nutes.. now here some pics they are all albeled except the whole room shots.. Keep It Greem and Stay Safe.. HE

 

[Frogger]

Alls good here guys . Not to much time to post working my ass off all day
Building a new box at night when I’m not partying .

 

[TokerBabe~]

Lots of frost on that harvest HIEagle!! I used my 400w for three years and always did a nice 5-6 oz (dried) harvest. Far cry from 1gram/watt, but I was happy!

Your house looks great and that's a nice room you have waiting ~O! 1000w is a lot to vent with the heat in your state. No pot hook-up? Whatever happened to ~B?
I do remember you talking about Reno and how nice it is, I've always kept it in mind.



TB (needs to grow! UGH!)

edit: oh, hey ~O? How the heck did ya get in the med field? Tha's just awesome!!

 

[outame 2]

Hey Babe...hot...yes,but now I have 2 newfangled inventions called insulation and a heat pump.B just left in fact,he came by to bring me a little relief,some nasty commercial.Better than nothing,but it don't work like the hydro.

The house will be done shortly,trim,cabinets,gutters today,tomorrow a/c ducting,more trim,all the little stuff.My mother n law is a head nurse at the psych ward here in town,wife is in the med field,I figured I better get in on the money.Mom in law makes $25 and hour plus overtime.

It has been a good vacation for me though,I got to learn the entire process of building a home,got to help mom in law after her getting flooded,she helped us after the fire.Now were all twitterpated about moving in,and getting back to business.I haven't worked the past 5 months,boss fired me when I tried to take a leave of absence,I told her thank you.

Having really good insurance is a blessing,mother in law had none...insurance has been paying everything for the last 5 months,I have been watching the guy's build,and learning.Time to change the building loan into a mortgage,and get back to business.

And get in the jacuzzi,and enjoy our new home.Check messenger...lata!

 

[killabrown420]

TB- I'm education major, thinking of getting a masters now...not ready to stop growing and getting a real job just yet...so you guys may be seeing me for a lil' while longer

~O~ Good luck w/ the new job and new crib...it looks like that room'll do you right. I remember the itis you had going in the old place..she would of been a real beaut. I got some IPxBBXSDIBL going...one of the seedlings has thin leaves...I'll keep you in mind when it cools down. You still have any of dem seeds I sent you?

HIE, yeah had a good time w/ dudeman, smoked some oil, ate some grilled meat, smoked some more oil...lol He wasn't kidding about his g13...that is some of the headiest I've seen grown.

Heres a pic of the grow box outside...temps are @75, RH is @45%. I have a grape ape I've been vegging for 2 months, it's in about 4 gallons now, I'm plopping that one down in the middle and letting it do it's thang right in front of the a/c. hehe I forget what else I have growing, a lot got lost in the shuffle.

 

[guest5703]

wow you guys have a great thread going. Thanks for inviting me to look in killabrown . That green crack is tasty, I had a buddy who ran a whole room full of hydro GC and master kush and he pulls the best buds ever. He also has like 6 1k's and AC plus co2...But I got some of those green crack seeds now too! I have two sprouted about an inch, I hope to breed them and get a shitload more seeds. I also have a bullrider sprout that is doing very well and I can tell it's an old ass strain from the way it takes its' nootes. Side by side the GC's next to the BR looks way bright green with the same nootes, and the BR is way dark like it is not used to noots, Make sense? Older strain=never had nootes back in the old days...Newer strain=used to a lot of nutrients...

Anyway, hope those go good, and I hope to post a bunch of my pics here for you all, PEACE!

 

[outame 2]

Hey killa,got air? He He! I'm not worried about heat now!Yeah,that is all oak on the cabinets.We move in next week regardless.Time for the new ~O~ that was promised on OG to fully emerge.

I gotta kick in The Tricky one...she helps a lot.It is nice to have someone behind you at all times.Now for all the detail work.











Killa,if we can pull it off,Hawaii is in our future around christmas...or sooner...lemme se if I still have skills.Carpet and vinyl sunday.Seeds,pretty much a popping test,can't do much here ,gimme a week.

 

[Frogger]

[hieagle420]

Outame-- let me know if i can help ya out.. i still have the THaze , gotta put it in veg soon, to take some clones... NIce looking pad man.. looks like they are doing a great job..


Frogger-- nice looking box man.. cant wait to see what you fill it up with..


Keep It Green and Stay Safe.. HE

 

[outame 2]

The haze is a keeper for sure,now with a new crib with a grow room and a spare bedroom maybe I can get things settled down now.Vinyl,carpet,pad all going down sunday.Monday is appliance day.Love the wood.

Anything with roots would be fine HE,next week is gonna be busy.I'm so sick of commercial.

Just talked to the builder,looks like they will be done Thursday.

 

[hieagle420]

heres some updated pics... Keep IT Green and Stay Safe.. HE

 

[Guyute54]

Those all looking good HE. What strains? Are they all M39's ? just messing with you. I can't belive how much people get carried away with the whole Elite cuts and who has the real cut of certain things.

Killa is that a new cab? I need to build me one for the boaring winter months.

O you in the new house? I don't know if you would need or want anything from me but I don't mind sharing anything


Here's a few pics a week or so old things are just starting to flower so I'm thinking the sour D's and the crosses should be done about mid to late Oct. guess we'll find out.


Dabney or M39 you decide




Sour D IBL




Ohh and I have a Sour D cross that just has an amazing fuely pinsole type smell to it. After I touched it I couldn't stop smelling my fingers for hours. It was like the first time I ever got the smell of a va jay jay on me fingers and I never wanted to wash it off.

 

[hieagle420]

Guyute54-- they are looking great .. bet you cant wait until they are finished..


here are some updated pics.. i harvested the PIxSDa Plant at 56 days.. Keep It Green and Stay Safe.. HE

 

[outame 2]

Well things are back to about normal now.We moved in a few days ago,and have pretty much gotten back on track.The appraisal on the place is at 8 in the morning,and we now own the land the home is on,so now we just have the house payment and the usual utilities to pay for.

Had a buddy holler at me today,he drives truck for a company that hauls food for KFC,Pizza Hut,and Taco Bell.He asked me if I was in the place yet,and if I had a freezer.I told him yes,and he told me to come to his motel and pick up 40 pounds of chicken,and 36 pounds of KFC mac and cheese.

That my friends is a lot of chicken & mac and cheese! Let's list the amenities... large master bedroom,228 sq ft,dual walk in closets,large living room,large kitchen,8X10 second bedroom for the birds and the wife's computer desk,Bathroom could hold 4 people easily.Dual vanity,walk in shower,two person Jacuzzi,and a tall crapper.

Microwave above the stove with charcoal filter and two stage light,it has a night light!Egress windows...one large escape window in each bedroom in case of fire.Vinyl Low E windows which means little heat allowed thru the window,but maximum light.They open with one finger.

Steel insulated entry doors with deadbolts,locking grow room that is ventilated thru the wall and ceiling,water heater in a closet in the grow room with the RO in there draining waste water into the overflow line under the house.4 plugs on one wall.Gonna try to run the tank for the RO outside the closet to keep it the same temp as the room itself.A/C in room.Individual circuits with breakers for everything....period.

No fire danger now,wiring was inspected three times by others,and once by me before moving in.Work is one mile away,and when I say work,I mean that in the easiest way.Final insurance check on the way,learned a lot,and now to try this shit again.Used the credit card once for the microwave,but now we are broke.Not a bad place for $59,900.

Guyute54,I wish I could do the outdoor like the old days,but right now I'm lucky to have what I have.Got a power bill due,and one coming...Dam ac feels good.Gotta go sleep to meet the appraiser at 8 am.Then after that,we will accept gifts from friends,well wishing individuals,and some more sleep.But if ya have a clone.The guy that got me all the food told me to holler at harvest time,and I will.We do the barter system.

Gotta go,babe,holler a me...im back better than ever.

Well,all my friends are here....go figure...
