that's how i was thinking mate and you never know mate they gotta lighten up on the laws soon americas getting their so i can't imagine when the states start reporting the profits in taxes we'll be far behind, and yeah the misses wants her spare room back wants to be able to have guests over once in a while plus i think she might be catching on if ya know what i mean ;-)
I wouldnt put anything past this country, we just steal peoples liberties, always have, always will lol
I'm glad the spare room is my grow and her clothes storage room, saves havin people over, which would be slightly ontop with my grow in the same room, but glad yours missus is comming round to the idea.

that's the same as me mate so far i've opted to leave the fans on but 99% of the time it's because they weren't expected and the other 1% is during lights on and i haven't got a choice, i got a nice peice of pink round pre formed large pipe insulation the other day aswell off site to go on there when i pull it out in a few weeks :weed:

i could do with some of that insulation, either that or invest in a new quilt to wrap round, or just locate both fans to the attic, which might be the easiest and cheapest way.

I rearly go on site in my current job, unless its to survey b4 work is caried out or to do drawings so i never get frees stuff, which sucks lol, will get even less chance when i start the new job on monday, but then i will have more cash to spend on the grow so will be sorted.

yeah the defo the better way to go, i do miss the freebies there used to be loads of stuff thrown away and lying round now next to nothing, but i'll be keeping my eyes open now that i have sime up coming work to do, the attic sounds like a good option especially if it's free the 1 thing i have noticed and might just because i haven't had my first chop yet but it seems to take alot of money to get going and then keep the train rolling

that's a nice shopping list mate, i know it's terrible but the worse part is as the list gets longer and adds up more i just seem to need more to go with it lol and i think that was 1 of the most surprising parts to me about setting up the cost of pots and soil i'm using the buckets from bnq mate £1 each and drilled holes in the bottom, do you use your ec meter mate i ask because i picked up a blue lab truncheon £65 and don't use it at all

lol, that was my thinking with it, the more i spend means i have to buy more which again makes me spend more lol... the soil i got was £15 for 50Ltrs and the pots £1 for 10Ltr, and to be honest ive used it once just to check the EC from the runoff water, i dont think i'll use it propper till i start using nutes, canna nute guide reccomends certain EC levels, so i will be chekin then, but i got my PH pen and EC pen for £35 the both, now i just need the calibration fluid lol

Hey sambo

Yeah country sucks big time, but so long as you have some money comming in and enough to survive on then we have to be thankfull, n hopefully the grow will bring in some nice spends.

Yeah i dont mind spending what i have as like u say its there for a fair few grows, not like u spend that for each grow lol

Yeah happy the temps are down, just need to get my humidity back up lol, highest that its running at now is 41% n low of 22%, so i think a little fogger is on the cards, 2 gal bucket of water aint helpin much.... 12 days till 12/12 mate, 12 days n countin.... n thanks.

humidifiers r cheap m8 we get em from argos 25quid and they work a treat, ava read up on humidity when in flower tho, cause lower humidity is good it makes the plant produce more thc/resin glands/tricomes or whatever there called, its only in veg u want high humidity.

Yeah ive seen a few small humidifiers in argos, or some small foggers from my hydro shop £25 or £35... ive read a bit on the humidity, i know u should have about 50% - 60% when veg and pretty low i think about 20% - 30% or so when flower, probably not gonna add much at this stage of the grow, but if i get them now i'll have them for the next grow lol
