Right on. Looking forward to chatting with folks who remember how it was in the day when it was all illegal and you really just had to figure it out yourself cause you didn't want to let hardly anybody know you had a grow going in case you got hit by the Rippers. Which is what happened to my...

I agree. I also have to state that in life there are always trade offs. My little chiller is supposed to be 40 gallon max. ($434). My system has 5-13 gallon pots or 65 gallons. the next biggest chiller was over $600, so I figured i would get by with this smaller chiller working it's ass off...

Beautiful set up and plants. I'm going to follow along if that's ok. I am on my first grow since the early 80's when i had to quit. Turning 65 soon myself.

@carl124bpool thanks. Yea, we definitely have a different set of hurdles we have to jump over. My average electric bill in the summer is around $400. That's with the AC set at 78. I would much rather have it set at 76 or maybe 75, but it would cost way too much. This may be my last summer...

With air pumped in to the toots constantly I don't think air is an issue. My ambient temperature daily high is between 105 to 115 every day here in the desert of Arizona so I can only cool the lung room down to 78 & inside the tent is 80 or more when light is running. The chiller actually adds a...

Fahrenheit?

I add hydroguard every eater change (every 2 weeks). Chiller is set to 73*. So far, so good.

Nice. McFly

Cool. I'll do that. Probably not many old 60's muscle cars over your way. What's the political stance on pot over there now?

@EmeraldGreenGal I have a job (Still working) that affords me a lot of down time so responding is my pleasure. I think growing methods & technology has advanced 10,000% since early 80's. I thought I knew how to grow back then. Now I realize I didn't know squat. I didn't have a clue 3 months...

@EmeraldGreenGal Thanks for the kind words. I think it's running about $50 a month (not 100% sure) but a large bit of cost is running a water chiller 24/7 to combat the heat. Hot temps in the water will cause root rot & I don't want that. Later, Wayne

Last grow was in early 80's. Had to give it up for job and whiz quizz testing. Getting close to retirement so decided I have waited long enough. I am on day #46 today from when the 2inch seedlings went into the net pots and in the tent. Been growing "like a weed" literally. I topped after the...
