How big of teens .... I have them sometimes.... when I get them to about 1-2 ft.. I put them in 3 gallon grow bags of fox farms ocean forest with about 20-30 percent perlite.. I normally sell em for 25-30.. but they are ready for flower.. normally topped or lst'd because they were intented for my cycle but didnt fit... but if you needed some and told me ahead of time.. like maybe you dont have room for veg.. or your flowering outside.. I could veg some up for you .. just would have to give me a good warning so I could do the strains you want :)

I dont know the normal price for teens of 1-2 ft that are trained and in soil.. but at $25-30 I can afford the soil and electricity for producing them.... is that cheap lol? seems good for 3 gallons of ocean forest and a month of my electricity plus a grow bag and rooter.. I prob would break around even idk lol.

I have these alot also.. this is what I put my clones in while I veg em .. then they go to 5 gallons for a week before flower.. but ya .. ANYHOW .. when I get extra's this size I normally do em for 10-12 bucks.. cus the pots a buck and the soil is prob a buck .. so I figure you get a bushy clone for 10 bucks thats already established and growing ....

Cus once my flower tent if full .. lol nothing else goes i for 2 months at a time :( So I always gotta get rid of extra's .. ( or I can take extra's if someone tells me ahead of time)

3 hindu's and a querkle :)

Ive built a few strokers.. and I have pretty reliable machinist .. The last motor I built was for my 71 mustang ( drag car) 460 big block ford stroked to a 557.. Aluminum headed.. it was a beast :)

Ive done 2 383's and my buddy i went to UTI with is a die hard chevy man.. we could prob do something nice for ya .... He's a district manager for Autozone now .. so 20 percent off the bullshit parts is always nice.. Performance parts are still cheap though.. we will have to talk about it.. Maybe we can brainstorm a good build for ya .. '

is it gonna be a street truck or dirt.. whats the intent?

LOL we can talk about this in person if you want cus these convo's can get LONG lol .. people will forget its a growing thread!

stuck the biggest auto seed in the greenhouse this morning after a heavy watering.it was dry. so far after the brutal morning sun its doing just fine. even better in fact. its the biggest seed so far so it might be a male which is why i kinda stuck it in there to try before putting all and they die you know.

but they will do better in the tent when its here in a week hopefully.

hey alota how much money do you think the 4 foot 6 bulb t5 fixture will cost to run 18 hours a day a month? any ideas would help cuz if its cheap can do hps in the garage tent with the t5.

Not sure.. we could figure it out .. what is it about a 300 watt fixture.. Ill try to check my electric bill for our rate right now .. im sure its the same rate as mine since were about 2 miles apart lol :)

Garage and HPS sounds scary.. maybe in the winter.. but temps are hard to control unless its insulated

well we will hav an 4x8 tent with my lil ac inside.the ac will cost a lot to run but if the t5 is dirt cheap then thats ok.
and ya we close i could walk if i wanted i guess. and it is a 340 watts rated at 28,200 lumens its a sunfarm high output.

your ac wont beat the heat in the garage if its hot outside.. Not only that but the ac inside the tent will put heat out the other side of it .. increasing garage temps and making it even worse.. trust me when i say that setting up a HPS tent in a uninsulated garage in the socal desert .. wont work. Maybe from nov -may but the rest of the year will be useless..

With a 8x4 tent your gonna need alot of light as well.. 1000 watts on a mover atleast.. and that puts out tons of heat.

Yeah, 10000 to 15000 BTU portable AC is a minimum in a situation like that, and you would want to duct your ac system to exhaust outside your garage. I used to grow in Riverside Co, so I know exactly what you guys are dealing with. That and I drive through San Bernardo once a week at least, fucking almost 115 degrees yesterday down there, fucking a.

Open box portable 11000 and 12000 btu units at Best Buy San Bernardino are going for 200 bucks. Better get on it.

I loved it.. the price has went way up since I went.. but it was worth it.. I never chose it as a career.. but still am happy with what I got out of it....

I have too many hobbies and not enough money lol
