So jonny does not have the luxury of having his own house yet and has rented in apartments for a number of years which introduces a unique set of problems for a medical grower such as myself.
I harvested my 1 girl last night in my grow room with the door closed and 2 400CFM fans mated to matching carbon filters cleaning the air in a 12x12 room. In the front room I setup a mist free humidifier with concentrated ona liquid in the hopper cranking at full blast. My apartment wreaked of nothing but clean linen that the most sterile room in the most sterile hospital would have difficulty matching. It was a perfect setting for a perfect and safe harvest.
Just as I finished the trimming and hung up my net inside the grow tent feeling my anxiety finally wash away, I thought to myself - this couldn't have gone any smoother. The next day I've got my dehumidifier running to keep the RH at or near 60% with a rubber hose securely attached to the dehumidifier secured with gorilla tape draining into a 5 gallon lowes bucket. This is the same 5 gallon lowes bucket that I used throughout the entire grow (4-5 months) to bubble my tap water in for use in the grow. I was nervous about somehow developing a leak that could cause damage to the apartment ceiling beneath me, so I doubled up the bucket inside of another 5 gallon lowes bucket.
So today I'm in and out of the room periodically monitoring the RH. I come back into the room to find water on the fucking concrete floor (peeled up the carpet due to dog piss) ever so gently siphoning its way into a little crack in the concrete. My heart about fell through my asshole and I flew to the bathroom to find bath towels and soaked up the mess as I tried to determine how the fuck this possibly could have happened.
I then examine the bottom of the bucket. There is a 6" hairline crack right in the middle of the base. I thought to myself, If I had not been home this water would have leaked downstairs and my unit would have been accessed to investigate the source of the leak and I would be looking for a new home.
Long story short, a lowes bucket that cost me less than $4 almost thunder fucked me. The real icing on the cake here is that I was literally using this bucket the entire grow, but due to my paranoia, I doubled up the bucket in the beginning because I feared this very scenario. How did it happen? I'm clueless man...how does a stationary bucket just fucking crack? I don't know, but jonny just learned a valuable lesson in water management. ALWAYS DOUBLE UP YOUR WATER STORAGE CONTAINER! Shit, I'm actually a little wore out just having to recount the details of this fucking story. I hope my story helps another apartment grower operate a little more safely.
