I get the same way with in projects...(ie: utilizing every sq. inch possible.......might as well, already set up and at risk, so, might as well be as efficient as possible, max yield, etc......)[\quote]
LOL, this is great, was just thinking, ****, if i go with in, ill do 800w...that lasted about a week, then, counting watts/amps available, hmmm, dont NEED dryer for maybe 4 months...if already taken up that side of room/house...well..let it take it up, as long as i can cover it up...lol...feels like im on track
julian said:I'm white collar on surface but a blue collar by birth.......we go out and all my guys are in heavy raingear (when raining of course )...me?...**** man...boots, camo pants, and t shirt in a monsoon ...I ****in love that shit man....and, spiritually satisfying too (for me..I think......)
Hell yeah man, i dig that too, didnt hit me til after i was 20, before lazy guy, liked to brawl sometimes maybe...lol...but far from blue collar....now, like to think of self as CAPABLE of white collar, but LOVIN the blue collar And spiritual yeah, (****ing hate to agree ALL the time but ****) i know what you mean, feels like connecting to the whole big picturr, to me i guess lol, and always rewarding to do hard work and make something happen
julian said:All it is (anything) is merely "taking it to the next level"......
****ing sounds like Nietzsches 'overman', the man beyond, beyond his own means, reaching and expanding, conquering life itself....
as always man, just enjoying the conversation...
cheers
Near aggressive?onthecouch said:DAMN dude, this near aggresive wisdom your spittin out has got me in awe, ****ing feels good to be back in school yall, whoo!
Well.....children.......whole different story......(I don't have kids but first wife had 2, so, kind of raised them from children....they were like 4-5 when we were married, so..closest I have so far ..Looking forward to it though....I did fairly well with them..(no partying, sports, school, etc....)Big time bro, I feel this one daily, have a son, and inside, mentally battleing, mass school education vs socially weak....do i keep him from school (true lovers of knowledge know it learned best through experience) home school, travel, wanna try middle school? Ya know, wait at least until he can think for himself before throwing him into the psychological gauntlet.
Well, me....as a child....really got no support for other endeavors....and, from poverty, so, no money for it either..(I was actually a fairly good sports performer and was into music fairly young.....actually was on the Ozzy list way back when....Randy got it ......) But, again, poor, 9-5'ers, so....kind of ingrained in me now to fully support anything and everything creative, unusual.....(music?...****, I'll set em up...sport?....will do my best, better schools, etc....etc, etc....I dunno man...from my limited experience (step kids from like.....5 to 15......)Most likely will leave it up to him, and according to creative/business pursuits at the time, but, what he sees, and how he sees, well....i hope to have more input than the 'average' parent
Well....sometimes....some thing....you have to remind yourself and hear all the time...(to counter all the shit we hear all the time from everywhere else.......sometimes very hard to press ahead with no support.....etc...no one around us who has done the same......sometimes very hard.....God Damn man, that shit got me reelin, (why i stopped reading, had to expel all that bound energy)
Truly reminds me of some of my very favorite poets/philosphers....of course simple eastern also, understand yourself, and you will understand the universe...but...never tire of hearing it, way you said it, sit down and do it dammit, lol, establish, also good choice of words man...I believe you are talented in many areas of life (****,maybe beyond life, lol)
ok, time to hit the pipe some more and continue,
Thanks man....glad of interest...very kind of you to say......buzzy said:Julian is a straight ghetto Prophet!
Your experience is gold dust mate, nice one!
Thanks man....just glad of use...of interest.......very kind of you to say........quite humbled.....supplementsavvy said:Julian, after reading the entire thread from start to finish I have to say that this is one of the most informative I've ever come across...whatever success you've had in your growing endeavours is surely deserved.
Well......"easy"...........I think the term misunderstood by most......It's a funny thing, as a teenager I thought that there was such a thing as "easy money." Growing makes you realize that although there is "easier money", the notion that there is easy money to be made is an illusion that only the young can afford to entertain. Fortunately or unfortunately, it all comes down to hard work and staying the course.
In thread at start brother .......bits come separate....Can pick those up at any home depot, lowes, etc.....bits come in different sizes, but, biggest I have seen for the one man (gas powered btw) is 12" wide and if good soil and using well, can get 3' down....(so, 1' x 3' in 30 seconds ....) units are about $300....bits about $100-$150......so......bout $450 for whole unit (considering it's return ....eh.....nothing .....one day working pays for itself 100 times overBTW, I love the idea of using an auger to drill holes. Although I've seen large mechanical augers attached to tractors, I have never seen a portable unit. Where did you get that baby? Does it run off diesel? How deep can you drill the holes?
Well....not "easy" to use...even in good soil...heavy, hard to control, hard to work for extended periods...(we switch off when doing lots at a time....) but, beats the **** out of doing it by hand......ya know? ..Usually each person does 100 before we switch off......couple people, then, by the time it's your turn again, rested back up and ready to go......onthecouch said:pst, supple, seen them at some local landscaping specialty/repair type shops, lots of chainsaws and leaf blowers on shelf, small shops...definately should be multiple places like this in any larger city...
cant wait to try one out myself, hoping can use coco also, would be very nice...,
Well....I am white collar by profession.....desk, suits, etc.....but, you know, the thing people don't seem to understand is blue collar....man, at the end of the day....you can rest easy knowing you accomplished something....Hell yeah man, i dig that too, didnt hit me til after i was 20, before lazy guy, liked to brawl sometimes maybe...lol...but far from blue collar....now, like to think of self as CAPABLE of white collar, but LOVIN the blue collar And spiritual yeah, (****ing hate to agree ALL the time but ****) i know what you mean, feels like connecting to the whole big picturr, to me i guess lol, and always rewarding to do hard work and make something happen

Been feeling extremely aggressive lately overall.....(I just think of it as "more focused".....several comments in real life past couple weeks.....I get pretty serious and hardcore sometimes......I just think it's "focus"...

julian said:Another aspect is always I'll choose physically exhausted over mentally any any day...lot don't realize or experience the difference.........mentally exhausted is a whole different ballgame.....very unpleasant.........very unpleasant.......

Maybe the 2 man's have larger bits, but, you know...I like the one mans, because basically can just throw it on shoulder and transport...larger they get, more of an issue..(and, make no mistake.......I do spots that are not easy to get to.......so...smaller, lighter the better...(up and down ravines,heavy brush, etc...so.......smaller the better........)
That's the problemonthecouch said:now, sure aftre 1-200 drills, through MY soil...probably put me on my ass for a bit, lol, but....i think i can 'dig' it, lol, pun not intended
physically tired is sometimes very nice actually in comparison, lol
Every angle man.....every angle.....really interesting to me lately....marto said:Ya know Julian, its not just the entertainment media, its also the news media, the religious institution, the education system, political system that are trying to lock us in the box and keep us from expressing personal power. I dont think its too farfetched to say that theirs been a coordinated effort since day 1 by the PTB, to dumb us down and make us do what we are told. Herd mentality dude!
I know well that laughonthecouch said:Oh yeah, Jules
I appreciated the quick run down of pics(page back or 2), how 'simple' it can be.... actually got a very good laugh out of it, had seen all of those but one maybe, throughout thread, but the presentation and offering was very much appreciated
Now that I like............(seriously.....) What's it's all here for in the first place......supplementsavvy said:I owe you one - coming across this thread and picking up this one tip will save me hours of back breaking labor. Thanks for all the time you've put into this thread.
Not necessarily.......depends on the year and project......Last year, ran mostly clones, (90%?...less numbers than this year..maybe 50% less, but, all in earlier and less mini's overall.......) Year before, lot of fem and m/f and clones earlier, than some fem mid season, the clones late..........all depends on year, project, spaces, and what I have on hand (I have had problems procuring stock recently/last year, etc, so...hurt me a little....last yr think I lost about 1200 fems and maybe couple hundred m/f stock...etc...(seized)phrank said:Julian-
So, the majority of your mini-plants are from femmed seed - is that correct?
I've used them ina pretty wide range of stuff....depends what you mean by stoney.....ie: Larger rocks might be a problem, but, I've also done some pretttty hard soil with it also (60-90 seconds a hole....) but , usually, on something like that I might look elsewhere in area for other spots, better soil, etc....another reason why I like the treeline and such...little softer, little moister.....sometimes more open spots in summer soil gets really baked, etc....so....Do those post-hole diggers work when the soil in question is stoney?
