Well just keep it at 400w for safety dude but whatever lolsuper high.. I've still to post pics for u before I close shop totally forgot how's ur big setup coming I'm curious to see what u do
Click to expand...
Its a big setup for me only. Coming from a build it all yourself it kinda weird to just have all this crap to play with. Seriously gonna go for scrog in a box for the crack. Thinking of one of the cool tubes with a pull fan on the end. My question is this though.....the cardboad box is a rectangle, so should I go for height or length in the setup. All advice welcome.

We get loads of odd small packages from China- jewelry, led lights and electrical shit, big hand wrapped packages from India- fabric, clothes that sort of thing. You know the only post that gets fucked with? Anything from the uk that feels like a birthday card or something like that. We've complained to An Post but they won't do fuck all about it until it's happened 5 times and you have to give them the package back unopened to 'investigate'. Hardly worth the hassle.

This arrived yesterday. Kindly resealed by An Post. :/

My dad taped the sticky strip down so the cunts went in the top. New credit card in that one. But what can you do?

Same here with ebay. Order a lot of tech stuff, small scale like motherboards, ram, specialist stuff. Here's the thing though....I have it from a good source that there is a branch of the revenue commission/tax office that works hand in hand with customs. The idea being that they dont want Irish business ordering comercial/taxable products through private accounts to be resold as commercial. So basically the reason your packages get stop is from a tax perspective rather than from a policing one.
Its good to know but a pain in the ass when they get held up as you have no notification till they eventually turn up.

I've run autos outside in the UK when I was growing like a Mexican. I think it was ak47 auto.
One of them was a total mutant and finished at the same time as the others, fully mature but as tall as a beer can. It was really sweet! Must have been a teenth on it! I would have lived to keep it alive as a dwarf novelty plant. It was funny as fuck. I might have a picture somewhere. I'll have to look.

Never done auto flower indoors. My setup is small, I have a roof qube 120 and a ghetto starter cab. The cab isn't tall enough really. Good for seedlings but not really a proper veg room. I'd like add a roof cube 240 and have nursery, veg and flower areas. I have to room, but what the fuck would I do with all the bud?!? I'd have to dedicate my entire life to smoking. Horrible.

Same as. Just got lucky on a sale. I actually have a second dr120 type cheapy clone sitting boxed. I have no idea what I gonna do with the bud...lol...cept work out good ways to dry it.

You wouldn't believe the cost of reg post from the uk to here. A normal envelope well stuffed so it's heavy mind, can be 10 quid. At the current exchange rate that's about e350. :p
There's a big difference between registered and recorded delivery. One basically means shit and the other is insured. My sister lost a phone going for warranty repair and the PO said "fuck you, you should have bought 'recorded' " tossers.

We've had sign on delivery letters tampered with too. But only from the uk. Too many scallywags and temps in the sorting office I recon. Ireland has a decent reliable postal service. I take my hat off to rural posties. No post code, no house number....
My missus's dad forgot to put the village name on when we first moved here:

Miss unknown
dead town
Co. In the west
Ireland

We still got it. :D

Went to the regional post center to collect a package. Meet my local posty, he introduced me to the backup posty. They were actually pissed that they hadnt worked out my addresse and hadnt been informed.
Now thats just cool.
Thanks for the info on reg v's rec post.

Yeah I plan to as soon as I figure out what seeds to buy.

For a first grow out doors...I would go with something simple, reliable track record and fast with a bit of a reputation for mould resistance, cause we Irish after all. irishseedbank have a handy search tool called find your perfect seed. Just put what you want in there and it gives good results. You dont have to order from them, but it gives you a good list of strains to check out.
