Good Morning Rose. I just had to get rid of a male. Rose do you do all of your growing out side or do you grow in the house to?

 

[ness]

I have to fine the right growing lights for when, I get my grow room up and going. Then, I will have no outside grow. Afraid of po po.

 

[ness]

Rose, do you have any suggestions for veg and flowering lights?

 

[ness]

Morning OFC. Got up late this morning. Glad, I don't have much to do today. Over cast this morning. Time to water babies.

Hey Nes !--Won't nobody talk to U about lights ?--- I don't know much but U got a few to choose from !-- U should maybe go to that thread in indoor growing about lights !-- Nes some people have strong beliefs in one kind of light or other !---I don't but right now I'm using "Mars Hydro 300 Reflector Series"--- U got CFLs Compact Florescent Lights "-- Florescent tubes like in "T-5"s --Then U got MH --Metal Hilide (?)-- What else ?-- Have U considered a grow tent ?

 

[Keef]

Nes let me take a shot at helping U with grow room set up !-- First- unless U have 2 grow areas or a reliable source to get clones U have to start from seed each cycle !--- The way it works for me is I can keep a clone in veg while another is in bloom !--That way as soon as U harvest U can have something else ready to move into bloom!--- Those grow tents are good to separate grow areas !-- Some things to consider are Heat !--Heat is your enemy !-- how many lights U plan to put in there ?-- more lights --more heat --Air exchange is another worry !--Got to have fans !--- the more plants and light the more air exchange U need ! ----U need to move the heat and used air out and fresh cool air in !---Anyone can clone in an aerocloner like thoe octacloners if U can keep the water temp below 80 degrees !--Start small and build your grow room as it develops !

Oh no umbra, that has to be effecting you at some level Bi-polar is what my young neighbor is and almost suicided 4 times. So scary. Did she die?
Speaking of neighbors, we are getting new ones with 3 dogs and two little girls.. pta mom... the curtains will be going up shortly, they may smell it but they don't need to see it.

She had family members come see her and she threw them out. She was screaming that she was having a nervous breakdown. That's about the time the sheriff showed up. They kicked in her door and dragged her out in handcuffs and put her in psych eval for 72 hours. I don't know if she was going to hurt herself or not, but she definitely wanted everyone to know she was hurting. Lots of drama. I'm guessing the move is on hold... for a couple of days at least. It did bring back some unpleasant memories from my past. Some memories never go away.

 

[Keef]

Yup !--Don't want to dwell on it but we stronger for it Umbra !-- I look back and think --I survived that ?-- These little real world problems I got ain't nothing !--

The best and worst memories are the ones that status a lifetime.


Any you guys been this baked ?? I know I have

Let me get back to helping Nes figure out what to do with a 10 x 5 foot grow space --air conditioner on the end or middle ? --- door in the middle or end ?-- These things can matter in how U set up !--- Remember we in the dirty south--U burn too much power with for no obvious reason the power company might call the po-po on U !--- So U may have to keep that in mind !-- Get JT to insulate that room to save on AC cost !-- I use the LEDs for that reason !--- power use = heat !--more heat more power to cool the place !--I hear the T-5s are good !-- Bugs love some heat so if U can keep a grow in the lower 70's it will help ! --

 

[Keef]

Dog weed don't 'fect me none !-- I just smoke it to be cool !--I ain't ever be that high 'cept maybe that one time !---So I lied !-- I get that way right now !--Watch !--Where's that V-stick !--

 

[umbra]

Rose, I suspect your new neighbor will become the stoner pta mom, lol. Just make sure you're wearing your pot leaf sox when you go over to welcome them to the neighborhood.

I hope so Umbra... I will wear all my hippy stuff when i meet her again. funny.

Nes, sorry i have been gone all day. I started my grow inside and now it is going outside, but i am in a legal state. I use my bathroom to start clones and to veg. I put the cloner like you have beside my babies or bigger vegging plants but throw a white towel over the hood. Clones don't need a lot of light, think of it as they are growing roots not leaves.. so no strong light.
I use a T5 like this one.[ame]http://www.amazon.com/Hydroplanet-Fluorescent-Included-Horticulture-Gardening/dp/B019J3UPSU/ref=sr_1_41?ie=UTF8&qid=1462918481&sr=8-41-spons&keywords=t5+grow+lights&psc=1[/ame] Then I have some led's or hps to flower. I like big plants so the led's don't work well for the way i like to grow. so i would probably use a HPS... 1000 W or 600 W depending on your space size.

Dala ---If U say so !--- but I'm pretty sure I been Johnny Cash high !

Keef, I will look into that indoor growing thread. No, I have not thought of a grow tent. I'll have to look into that. Kind of set on the back space of the house for a grow. Time to Wake and Bake all over again. Dipping the dogs today for flea's.

Thank You Keef, that helps. Looks like I will be cutting a hole in the walls, fun city. Or, maybe put a stove pipe up though the ceiling and roof. That sound like a idea. Good thing is I can do anything around the house to fix it the way I want.

 

[Keef]

Not quite that simple Nes !-- Still got to worry about heat and moving air thru the tent to remove heat from the light !--- I was thinking more of U being able to use 2 tents in that grow space !--One for veg and one for bloom !-- If U can keep using that bathtub for a cloning / veg area then U could use the new area for bloom !--- Not much different than what I'm doing this cycle !--I started a bunch of clones got them rooted in my over the tub veg ----I'll be moving them to my old bloom ( walk in closet) ---veg them up to about 18 inches tall and flip them to 12/12 --While I start getting the next batch ready over the tub !--

Keef, I am thinking about the drain for the cast of the water. That is why I want a rubber floor. Can make a drain with a washer machine hose.

 

[Keef]

Having a grow like I was just talking about U could just leave it open and just hang some lights from the ceiling !-- Still better to insulate it first !---
