If you don't have an Ac guy in your circle.. It's time to get one.. Like Carolina said.. what if your mini split shits out half way through the run, and you need it fixed. Might as well just buy a new one because they aren't going to replace it..
If your going to be a grower.. Your going to need people's help, trimmers , contractors whatever it may be.
Just walking into your local supply house will find you someone. I get leads from my counter guy who I slip some cash to, I pick up the equipment and sell it at my cost to the person who needs it. I charge a fair price to hook it up and everyone walks away happy.

Not all of us live on west coast. I live in a place where 2 ounces is a felony.

Hence, no friends, no trimmers, just me n my trim pro, working full time!

I am mechanically retarded . I farm. That is it. I don't build , I don't do plumbing , electrical, Ac , any of that headache shit. I pay people to do the things I can't, and then refer them to friends. They aren't going to bite the hand that feeds. How are they going to make money if they are a snitch .

I get it, I was just pointing out to these other guys who don't get it, you don't want to hang out at the local supply house looking to meet a guy, that's crazy, you are an engineer, I get that you have skills to do it yourself.

I Dont usually tell people that either. Nobody knows what I do, not my wife, kids, mistress, nobody! distribution is to one person.
220 volt isn't that hard either, it's just 2, 110 volt lines, no neutral, all power is used,no waste, 110 sends unused power back to ground, it has a lot more resistance, so equipment runs hotter on 110

Never knew that, so is that what they mean by ac/DC?
AC= alternating current here in North America ordinary household current alternates(reverses direction) at a frequency of 60 times per second. DC= Direct current - the flow of electric charge is only in one direction

We have 420 friendly electrician, plumbers and hvac technicians on the east coast. They make a killing. I know, I am one. Just walk into the local hydro shop and ask. They will most likely have someone who can help.

I've wired in many rooms for people, once you do a few and nothing bad happens to the client, word spreads. I have 3 hvac technicians I can call, a plumber and another electrician. All 420 friendly and don't care what you got going on. Just there to do their job.

I believe it, but not willing to bet years of my life on it, if forced I'd rather have a tech come between grows, either tear down or plant peppers lol... Something, cause these girls are for my eyes only

To be perfectly honest ... Your already risking years of you life for a ridiculous reason. There is not enough money in cannabis to make it worth while to stress out on a small scale like this. Either you care or you don't . If your sweating the small shit now, think long term

While part of me agrees with you, another part of me doesn't, I don't get paranoid anymore and I will say I love what I do. Its just a hobby, not s full time job, but Its beautiful, the process of creating a nedincine from scratch, I've accepted that if caught in a non medical state, I'll be stuck playing spades for 12-24 months. But frankly, I Dont think I'm wrong, I think the law is... So when you say its a ridiculous reason already, its not, its my happiness... Should I just stop smoking because I Dont live in a med state???
