What did you accomplish today?

[Mitchician]

How old are you? (54 here)
I used to be a meat freak (no homo) but have been transitioning to a mostly plant diet because there really is something to gain.
I've also been transitioning from NSAIDs to natural remedies and my back pain and arthritis are much better.

I'm mid 30's. I envision myself slowly moving towards a more plant based diet as I age and start growing more of my own food.

Funnily enough that's actually the most I've ever seen of Flight of the Conchords.
We don't need to watch that program here we just live our lives and it looks like that anyway.

For the tent to be 6ft tall,it looks skinny compared to a 4x4... I had to do it for convenience... I need to keep everything in the room with me and 2 4x4s won't fit properly in the attic,which is a good thing for me because I would probably be running them all like it's legal!!! I would have to either kill someone for trying to get to my shit,or I'd be on my way back to prison for having a house full of plants in the hood... So now I have the 2x2x3 and the 3x3x6...

All the cool kids have a 3x3x6. When you graduate you get a 5x5x7 then a 10x5x7.
Then you get to rent a warehouse jump the power and make bank and go back to your 3x3x6 with a smile

That's what I'm talking about!!!

Still fires out there??? Or is it just dry??? I used to live in Pomona and it stayed hot and dry... They put restrictions on water usage still???

Yeah watering days only 2 times a week. We’re getting some rainy days but not enough still. They’ve been shutting a lot of people’s electricity off to prevent fires supposedly. There was a fire not too long ago though.

This the only way for the feds to try to keep a stranglehold on Mary... You've got to know that these people still look at this as being a schedule 1 or 2 drug,and if they can't make ALL OF THE MONEY, THEN NO ONE WILL!!! I think that the wildfires got worse and more frequent once they legalized rec weed and dirty cops' money started running thin... Maybe that's just MY conspiracy theory ...

Fire has been part of the ecosystem forever, however humans have interfered with that natural process and caused massive fires where previously the underbrush would have been burned off preventing such fires.
The lack of maintenance from PG&E has exacerbated the situation and caused most of the recent fires. I feel climate change is also involved in the equation. Paradise is surrounded by Sierra Pacific lumber company land, and cleaning up the forest makes them no money, so it isn't done.

If the government wants to make all the money then they are cutting their own throats by increasing the fees to run legal weed businesses.

Made a custom cover for the AC in the grow room out of amazon boxes. I hooked up the vent fan to a temperature controlled switch so I'm not just pumping out the air I am heating during lights off. Still need to tweak it a bit. Buds and suds time.

I'm getting good at controlling temps with my vent fan.

It runs for 15 minutes every hour when lights are on.
During the 6 hrs of lights off, the fan only runs one time (15 mins).

Temps average 74F w/lights on & 68 when they're off.

The controller I was given has settings for lights on and off, which is cool, however the temp settings on it are ballpark at best.

I keep thinking that but then I remember bugs like dirt, yech

Ah true.
an old friend of mine @st0wandgrow on here said he thinks the crabshell meal and the neem seed meal in his organic soil turn bugs off BIG TIME.

I started amending my promix with them and I've not seen a bug since. Zero. The second positive is it acts as a slow release of extra nitrogen and keeps my leaves green till the end. I also add glacial rock dust, and lime (I reuse my promix and it can become too acidic. The lime sweetens that bitch up a bit)

 

[raratt]

CMH light was still on, checked the timer and it was set correctly so I guess I had it set manually to on.

Bingo, operating correctly now.

Pretty awesome the pics he posts when one considers that for him “worm casting” isn’t a product but an activity

I've added worm castings in my faux-mix as well.

Maybe it's time I just give it up and go organic.

Sounds like you're almost there

Haha. Looks like Nashville when I stayed down there. Good for some fun for the kids but bad for
The plants and my bronchitis lol. We been getting wet(that’s what she said) and cold weather now. A lil hail the other day. Won’t put out anymore plants until last frost unless I wrap the green houses and run dehumidifiers.

Curious what you call hail under 3/8 in. dia. is just sleet ya know?

With regard to human comfort I live in an area that is at a heat deficit a minimum of 9 months/year. With this I hope to leave the heater unplugged, and insulation is your friend @raratt , walls furred to accomodate R19. Build a box, close it off from the outside, latches and wearher strip. Might want to check batticdoor.com for something premade. Ordered new beater btw, lost 3rd wire on last cake.
