[Sims da smoker (Qboro)]

Well anyway... Here is a pic of my dry box I just made

 

[C Cat]

Yea.. c cat , I hope so.. I put a lot of research , money & time into this ... Not to get too sentimental but I put a lot of love into this too lol.. & I hope I reap the rewards of all my hard work... And on another note , I thought about ur personal signiture thing .. about sitting in ur room and being completely consumed by ur plants.. its crazy !!! I go in my room ans sometimes stare at my plants for an hr or two. I just simply loose track of time (my real inner pothead coming out) idk if its just because I'm new and its all still so fascinating to me , but it doesn't seem to be going away.. I've been like this since I got the seeds.. I watch my plants more than I watch my tv ... And its crazy bcuz.. when I first started flowering . I found myself staying up late so I can look at my girls when my light comes on at 10pm, and now I've almost changed my sleeping habits all together.. my plants are nocturnal & so am I lol

I know what you mean I loooove looking at my plants,Last night I even took a walk out at 2AM to go look at them almost shit myself with a possum encounter.You doing great though!The ladys look beauuuutiful!You got a 1000w HPS right? Cause Im picking one up with Ballast,Reflecter and a Super HPS Bulb for $200 BRAND NEWWas wondering if they are real good,But im kinda concerened about the jump in the electric bill.

[Sims da smoker (Qboro)]

O .. u got ur plants out in the woods or somethin?? And I have a 400 watt convertible fixture (hps & mh bulbs can be used)

 

[C Cat]

Yeah aha,Its protected by bums.Im worried my door will be kicked down if I go 1000w But i dont want anything less than 1000....


~C That Cat?

 

[berkman858]

I'm still laughing at that 1 ... The intricacies to the donation of pot to patients lmaooooo.. u took it that far , really???

Hahahahh I put that in there just for laughs. I am glad you liked it.

 

[berkman858]

Yeah aha,Its protected by bums.Im worried my door will be kicked down if I go 1000w But i dont want anything less than 1000....


~C That Cat?

1000 watt is the way to go, massive yields but def a huge jump in the electric bill. This is my first run with 1000 watts but I am glad I did it. 22 ounces on a trial run. Yeah, I am convinced of the greatness.

Offset the new bulb with a more conservative use of electricity in the home. Perhaps invest a bit in Solar power as well.

Hey, Sim. Just want to let you know your nugs are looking great sir. Regardless of how many people reply your doing a great job at your first grow man. Start flushing with ONLY WATER and give that white widow 2 weeks to clean out and finish ripening and you will have an ounce or two of phenom smoke =D Again, nice grow.

 

[Sims da smoker (Qboro)]

Quietguy its funny u mentioned that , I just flushed my white widow a few hrs ago, the breeders say I should harvest in 6 days. I prob will it looks the most done of all my plants , which is weird because according to breeders I should harvest my glp tomorrow, it still looks like it could use a lil more time.. but I'm gonna chop it down on Saturday pretty much no matter what

 

[Sims da smoker (Qboro)]

Everyone says that ... I feel u c cat . With not wanting to have ur door kicked in by police .. but a 1000 watt light is the same amount as a new air conditioner which usually are about 1200 watts, so who could say ur gowing weed, that extra $ on the electricity bill could be an a.c , New refrigerator, or whatever ... I think it would take a larger spike in the electric bill to draw suspicion . But I am the noob, so I could b wrong

 

[Sims da smoker (Qboro)]

That's wassup , that's y I wish I lived in a more rural area.. I wouldn't waste any electricity on growing.. I would do it just like u .. in the woods somewhere .. but there are def no woods near me... I'm atleast a few miles away from any wooded area.

 

[bombasticson]

Lmaoo, intricacies to the donation to patients???? Alright.. the both of yall have taken this a lil far.. for people that smoke weed u two are pretty cranky

Not sure how I took this to far lol this is joke to me because I only tell what I know to be true this guy obviously an escaped mental patient .. And sims I was told that an ounce somewhere upstate goes for 5000 dollars, I was just as alarmed as you man like "what no way are you sure 5000" he could be lying but I don't see why what would he have to gain. Now that crackhead comment whats that supposed to mean lmao, your exposed for what you really are just be real about it

 

[Sims da smoker (Qboro)]

Yea.. ur friend is either lying or just talking about something he knows nothing about.. now, think about this... With all the hustlers that live in our city .. if an ounce of bud really costs that much upstate , everyone would b out there trying to make money. Shit, I would b out there trying to make money!! And as far as the taking it too far thing, neither of u has really crossed the line , but its not that far away.. just trying to save yall b4 it gets ugly, its only words over the internet , but still, we all came here to learn and have fun...even if u two disagree, I just feel Like u two should remember y u signed up for riu.. and I'm sure it wasn't to argue with other members

 

[Sims da smoker (Qboro)]

And really ... $5000 an oz... That would make weed more profitable than crack in the 80s ... Which will never happen

 

[Sims da smoker (Qboro)]

On a side note.. I'm mad anxious!! I'm gonna harvest my glp tomorrow, can't wait !!! Still a few white hairs on the top of the main cola, but fuk it!! Ive been patient for long enough, time to smoke!!

 

[Sims da smoker (Qboro)]

Came a long way from being scared to order seeds... I feel like I'm graduating .lol, idk what I'm graduating from , but I've learned a lot.. and when u learn this much ...,I think I deserve a Damn cap & gown.

I just want to say thank u to everyone who has helped , given advice , put in their 2 cents, followed the thread or whatever ... It's crazy what a guy can learn thanks to the internet .. riu, Google and YouTube !!! In this day and age that's all u need to learn anything

 

[bombasticson]

I dont think it was a lie cause my cousin went out there one time and they sell their bud very skimp. he bout a dime and got like .2 .3 grams lol. But then again people lie for no reason

And I will never cross the line not my type of personality Im a lover not a fighter.. But I can fight if it comes down to it

 

[Sims da smoker (Qboro)]

If weed costs 5000 an oz, forget 0.2... There would prob b no dimes and the $20 sack would be like 0.2.. and I'm still not sure if that would be profitable for any dealer..(I didn't do the math tho)

Yea he prob lying, trying to set me up so I bring him an ounce and get robbed.. I was pretty skeptical when I heard it to maybe 5000 for a pound could work
