Keep an eye on the news Rose - Gonna be a happening day !

 

[burnin1]

Good morning OFC

I am so sick of breathing smoke. grrr It could be worse. At least the fire is burning away from me.

 

[Rosebud]

ya know if you need to produce more medicine, ya might need a new veg led... that is what i am thinking.

 

[oldfogey8]

i went back to vegging under my t5 fixture. i have been wondering why my plants were not as vigorous under my led. maybe my led is just not giving the vegging plants the energy they need but since i put my 2 mother plants under a 2 bulb t5 with 10000 kelvin finisher bulbs i have had explosive, compact growth(if that is a thing - lots of foliage with short innernodes). stay cool and hopefully some rain will come to the fire ravaged areas out there.

 

[Keef]

Talking to me Rose ?-- I know I need better and more light !
Things are changing the grow is in transition -- I'm thinking I could end up back in deep East Texas -- If that happens I may need some outside dirt farming guidance from U !-- I can and will go outside and be a go-rilla grower if nessesary !----Plenty cover in what they call "The Big Thicket "--up on the Trinity River !-- Giggy know it well !--
Looks like I'm have to shut the grow down for awhile !

 

[Keef]

I missed something !-- Hey OF !-- How U been ?--
I get confused easy when I get kinda high don't I ?-- I'm confused right now !--

 

[burnin1]

Be careful Keef. They may still lock you in a cage in Texas for growing. Outside grows can be risky. I did it a few times here in Cali back in the day when a roach would get you locked up. The paranoia about cops and rippers can get to you. If you get some place in the sticks like me you will still have the sheriffs helicopter looking for grow sites in the fall. Wherever you go I hope it will work out for you and be awesome.

 

[Rosebud]

Ya know OF, I am in love with my lush lights and they have a small one just for clones and vegging. close internodes are the best. I am thinking about it. I wish i didn't have to keep clones or mom's i sometimes mess those up. How are you guys doing? Thinking about ya.

Keef, i am talking to me. shut down? no, I am on your side. I will help you with a dirt grow anytime. East Texas? I know nothing. I will be watching the news today, don't worry your pretty little head. ha.

 

[Keef]

Burnin 1 -- I don't want to grow outside !-- The opening of deer season and outside harvest time is the same and I don't want to be in something like that !-- I was just speculating about where I might end up !-- I really don't want to end up in East Texas but it could happen !-- I'll have to be out the house so we can sell it and dissolve the corporation so to speak !-- I still don't have a solid plan but the shut down will happen if I don't find a place to move the grow !-- I got my genetics -- Plenty seed from fine dank !-- So I got a head start no matter what !
I got stuff to do just no place to do it !-- Yet !-- I'd like to set up a real grow !-- This trying to veg in a walk in closet with little air exchange ain't working for me and anymore light will drive my temp up too high !--

 

[Keef]

Depending on the circumstances and where I end up I might build me a 100 gallon still !-- Strictly to produce alcohol for extraction !-- Maybe ?

 

[burnin1]

Low taxes and low population density in Oregon make an ideal retirement place. I would like to move there one of these days. Just sayin..

I hope things work out for the best Keef. We are here pulling for you.

 

[Keef]

Might be a little bump in the road RE but when we sell the house I'll should be able to get me a little place somewhere -- Then I can take what I've learned here and plan me out a proper little grow ! -- What's cool is if I have a problem or question and need some input ?-- I knows me some high people in low places that knows about these things !-- Yes I have some ups and downs but I feel like I got a pretty good support group in U guys !--
Edit : About Oregon ?-- I don't do cold very well !-- I'm stay somewhere in the south !-- About being in a prohibition state ?-- That's all I've ever known !-- They almost caught a couple times back in the day when I thought I knew how to grow weed !-- So I know about the dangers of an outside grow !-- I don't know how not to grow so I'll adapt and do best I can!

 

[oldfogey8]

all is going well, thanks, rose. i have seen those lush lights. they are nice but out of my price range for now. like i said, probably my led isn't giving the plants all that they need. it was an inexpensive led. it is bright and works better than my t5's for flowering so i will be setting that up as soon as i am sure my clones took.

keef - i have just been lurking on here for the most part. wishing you the best on finding a new grow space. i did not like growing outside just because of what burnin1 says. cops and thieves. also it is too darned wet in the northeast unless you have an earlier harvest type of plant.

[Keef]

OF to each his own !-- If U got something to say U make a post !-- Ain't no problem with that !-- I think there is a variety called Holland's Hope supposed to be mold resistant !-- If that is your problem !--
I really don't want to grow outside !-- I do like the control I have inside !-- U and Rose were talking about your lights and I thought she was talking about mine !-- My Mars Hydro 300s starting to age some and they never were top of the line but they what I got !

 

[oldfogey8]

gotta work with what we all have, keef. i did get bud rot and powdery mildew when i grew outside. i think i contaminated my tent when i brought some of the plants inside too. never had either of those issues til i brought outdoor plants in(because it was so rainy and i was so paranoid someone would steal my buds). mars hydros are supposed to be good i thought. i am thinking my next investment is going to be in a lec light. one of my kids friends is a forestry grad and his thing was the american chestnut. now his thing is cannabis and he is a big proponent of lec lights. grows some nice doobage too...

 

[Keef]

OF -My Mars Hydro are good enough but I would like something a little better !--It's the bugs that keep coming at me -- I still see a few white flies !-- Thought I wiped them out so time for another treatment!--They hurt me bad !--- I'm have to look up these LEC lights see what they got !

 

[Keef]

Light Emitting Ceramic !--Those might produce too much heat for me !

 

[Rosebud]

I am getting really lazy. It has been proven that i ruin plants if they are in the guest room closet. This light hopefully will help me continue my lazy ways. I have to have more cbd's so I need to keep clones and or mom's. I suck at that. I am hoping this light along with larger pots will work. I can do it, they just look like hell. I will report back. LEC? sounds interesting.

 

[Keef]

Rose for personal use I've figured out I need about 1 third as much high CBD weed as I need high THC weed -- Half the high THC to mix with the high CBD for caps and a half of the high THC to smoke !-- That expensive weakass CBD hemp oil becoming all the rage in Texas !-- Make me laugh at them !-- It's just a pale imitation of what can be done !-- I know some doubt it but I think Texas gonna have to bow to MMJ -- at least --when the state congress convene after the 1st of the year !-- I wanted to be set up and running-- with the bugs worked out by then !-- Absolutely planned to jump the gun and cheat by getting ready for a commercial grow before then !-- Still might find a way !

 

[oldfogey8]

the lec lights may be too hot for me in the non-winter months as well. i only have a 4" high velocity exhaust fan and between the lights, the fans and the dehumidifier i have running in my grow area which is in my basement, the temps are running mid 70's. i can't do air conditioning unless i get one of those penguin stand alone units. again, more than i want to spend at this time when i can just grow within the restrictions of the space i have. for now. i'd love to have a really tricked out grow but i am too cheap...
