I'm Ready- Blue OG, White Lavender, OG #18, and Sour Kush.

Heading to the hydro store today.

Do any of you guys go covert when visiting a store? I always practice a degree of caution. Paying cash, not using my car, and watching who might follow. Paranoia? Maybe, but it's better to be safe with my activities. Never know who is watching the shop.

Same with online buys. I ship everything to a PO box not related to my personal. But I've always practiced caution in business keeping my home life out of public view. A man has got to have an oasis.

I'm on a phone right now with a VPN running. Easy to do and safe. I have VPNs on all my Internet devices. Later.

I have to agree with you man, being cautious is just part of what we have to do when we decide to grow. If you're not actively being discreet and smart about what you are doing you are not going to be doing it for long. I have never paid with a card for anything at a grow shop or online making purchases for seeds or equipment. It's too easy these days to get a pre-paid card if needed or just use cash whenever you can. Getting busted because you left an avoidable paper trail is a complete rookie move I.M.O. I'm not gonna get audited by the I.R.S one day and have to explain that kind of stuff, at that moment I think you would have enough on your plate. I have a family member that is completely sympathetic to my situation being really sick in a non-medical state so they just told me to mail everything there. I would love to see the cops bust in and Jesus would be staring them in the face and everybody's at prayer. Ha Ha Ha(I hate cops B.T.W.) I would never mail anything incriminating to my place, ever. I would not call you paranoid my friend I would call you smart and cautious, and probably someone who would prefer NOT got to jail. I don't care if you do live in a medical state Federal law is Federal law, and until that changes we all are living in a really messed up situation. I wouldn't mind living in a medical state with a card, but I wouldn't want to own a business regarding medical MJ yet with the laws that are in place. It's just ridiculous and we all need to vote these F%#@&RS out of office, and get these laws changed once and for all. Peace out.

Lol...007..(I mean prosperian) I would be that way to,but thankfully I live in WA state and I don't give a shit. The only people I worry about now are scumbag burglars,and for them I have a present under my pillow(and I aint the fuckin tooth ferry...lol)

To the op of the thread. I have "Purple OG #18" & Blue OG going now myself..
How are they working 4 ya? I have around 28 other strains going aswell! Lol. So got a lot going on right now, or I would've seen your grow thread.. sorry.

I agree, and no I don't consider my self paranoid, but it really don't hurt anything to stop on the way and make a quick cash draw and it don't hurt me to park around the corner and walk the last 50 meters, better safe then sorry

Ok, don't want to jinx myself so early in the testing but...

400w HID sealed exhaust running at 75% power.

Closet ventilation running at 50% power.

outside 86 degrees
intake 74 degrees
closet 78 degrees

Grats on the temp control situation, man. Sucks growing indoor during hot summers. lol

nice, see I couldn't do that as I don't have a AC unit or no where to mount one, I could never get a lower temperature then my ambi, also why I love the LEDs make me able to flower in may/jun/july/august with no problem, winter time Im sure I have to turn on the heat, but thats no problem, we got plenty of that here in the cold north

I was going to go LED for that reason...but as I hadn't grown in about a year I wanted to stick to what I knew. I may eventually steer in that direction...pricey though.

yea and you better do the research and then some before you buy em, price can vary a bit so can quality aso
but all in all I have nothing to complain about compared to the old 600W HPS as I see it LEDs are the future, specially for them of us who just want to grow a few plants

I'm with you on that SohighIfly. Burglars running wild here. But I'm set, they break in mines and they will think they landed in middle of a Afghanistan firefight.I will also be setting video monitoring in my room.

It's like a drive by at that hydro store today. FYI I've been there a couple times already.

I back the car in. Walk in tell him I need a couple bags of RO soil, a 4" inline, and a variable. He cuts me 30% deal, pay cash, he loads the trunk and I'm down the road in less than 5. Lol, funny shit, but he knows his customers!

Thx for posting. The Blue OG had a bit of set back but I think it's recovering. Just have to wait it out a couple more days, but I see some new leaves popping out and that's always a good sign. Laugh, the plant that's growing the best right now is the bag seed! Figures. Looks like you got your hands full good luck and keep us posted.

It was a challenge. Just had to throw some cash at it, but the room is pretty efficient now. No excuses, those plants better be happy!

Pros......Here are the results of the Tek 2 light. Also a Blue Og is in there. These are almost 3 weeks from putting in root riot cubes. I think 18 days. I have it written downstairs, but if I go in there I'll be in there for 2 hours. Sorry it took me so long to get back to you.

1 is White Rhino..2 is Pineapple Express..3/4 is Blue OG..5-8 are Kali Mist

Looks good bro.. have you ever tried to "re-veg" a plant that's already into flowering? The reason why I ask is I have a Belladonna (1) right now, and she is in full bloom. I have done it b4, it just took soooo damn long it was unreal!!

I'm impressed. I think you have the light dialed in just perfect. It's about time for a transplant on those babies. What size buckets are you using in your grow? I vaped the P/E last couple nights and I have to say, at 85 days into cure, she's coming along very nicely. Keep up the good work and keep us posted with more pics.

Hey guys, what do you think about hooking up a timer on the ventilation system?

I was thinking about having it on when lights are scheduled, obviously. But when the lights are off, I would like to stagger the hours and have the ventilation shut off and on and even multiple times through the night if necessary.

There is a 10" x 10" hole in the closet that leads to fresh air in my office so it's not a sealed room. Thought the only issue with shutting off the fan was during flowering I would have a smell issue (I can run it all the time then).

So how long would a 2' X 3' X 10' closet need to be fed fresh air? It's a 165 cfm fan running at 50% power. Or is the fresh air intake hole going to be enough?

Reading these comments on precautions makes me very glad that I live in a med state. I have never felt the need to do any of this and my area is safe so my small grow is pretty safe. My biggest security concern is making sure my kids cannot get access, and keeping bugs out.

Transplanting soon. I flower in 3/5/7 gallon containers depending on strain, flowering times, etc. My normal is 5 gallons. 85 day curing? Holy cow. I have to learn how to do that.

@Dankster~420...I have never re-vegged a plant. I am not that patient. I know someone on RIU is re-vegging a Breeder's Boutique Sour Cherry. Its Angryblackman. I think its over on the Breeder's Boutique thread.

@hbbum....Exactly. Spot on for me too.

I wouldn't care what I had to do to grow my own meds, beats starving to death and being so miserable I have to lock my guns up from ME! I've been to jail and it's no worse than having to go to the hospital for me, so I couldn't care less about getting locked up. Of course I don't want to, but that's just how it is here. I think you have a really nice line up there Gandalf, looking great under your new fluoro's brother. I have to say everything under my new T5 rig is just exploding. My thermostat went out and wont turn on in auto anymore and it got hot in my house and with the oscilating fan on the girls in a closet basicly, were just fine. It was warm but they were just fine and happy as could be, I really like that. I'm glad I have an extra window unit in the room with my girls in flower. I decided to pick one up on a fluke a couple of weeks ago cause it was so cheap, I'm smiling like a monkey flingin poop now! I already have a new thermo and am about to go install it, thank you public education system for those shop class skills. It looks like you have your temps situated as well Prosperian, good to see. I think your ladies will be very happy with you. They really seem to be recovering just fine from the little problem. Good luck and best wishes all. Peace out.

EDIT: I leave my in-line off until my girls start to grow flowers, but my room is cool at night, and I don't have to worry about smell.

I hear ya man, I had 3 idiots next door yesterday afternoon cutting the yard and some trees, and I think they may have seen my plants, so I slept with just the screen door closed last night, and had to sleep on my right side due to the shoulder holster on my left side, not to mention the Mossy by the door.
