Good idea. I’ve grown many plants with that turquoise ambrosia. Back when.

The shit is turquoise for sure.
Looks like my kids play doh.
I'm super hesitant, but I have a couple days to the flip, and like you said they need the nitrogen in the beginning.
Didn't want to drop another 100 for the Hesi nutrients when Ive got what I need for bloom.
Miracle grow can't be that bad at reduced strength.
Fuck I hope not.
I'll know in 24 hours... Bout to water

And I've read the charts, but Ive just been going with distance as to what the girls tell me...seems with a 1000, any closer than 24 inches gets too hot, even with the ac blowing right at em
Also, I did 9 plants under a 600 twice.
32 under 2000...
WOW.
No Brita filter is going to handle my water needs.
Nor am I buying RO water. Fuck that.
My tap water has enough chlorine to be "ideal" for swimming pools. SMH.
So I'm filling two 10 gal coolers with my hose water on my deck. 24 hours later the chlorine is gone... Than in the mask of night, I fill my gallon jugs in them. For every gallon I water 4..so it's taking about 8 gallons in 1 gallon containers... Watering is going to be the most work when I switch to 3 gallon and flip the light
Ugh

I've currently got 28 indicas under a 400w Mh are 9 nine inches of light, that chart say 15k Lu in fact I've got 54K lu with pc fan close.
its way off but does give an idea is all
either way taking a ph at fill and the ph after gas is out the best use $5.00 pool stripes from your 7/11 this info you Need to know to fix nute issues later

good luck

Do you have water kiosks where you live? The coin operated places you can fill your own jugs? Those are actually huge RO units. In southern NM it was $1 for 5 gallons. Required cal mag every time you used it pretty much but plants loved it.

I've got pool strips, a ph pen, a ppm pen... And one extra of both...just in case one goes. I try to think ahead of the plants, and I find if you buy the shit ahead of time, you're way less stressed out. I'm not about to go to the hydro store in my area and pay double for a bulb I can get on eBay. Hope your harvest is high.

2kW isn't that much, a fridge is about that to run.

Not really... This was my families house, there was 5 of us living in it, and my mother said the power bill was upwards of 400.
Now it's just me and my daughter every other weekend.
The neighbors have a wood shop in their garage, the Mexicans across the street have 7 people living there, guy down the street has a green house with huge fans running... I'm thinking I'm on the low side of power usage in this hood.
How do they know if my main ac unit didn't blow and I'm using hell's window units and fans, or I got a hot tub, or I'm a health freak running on my treadmill 6 hours a day?
Don't be so paranoid...lol
People get caught growing by telling people, scorned girlfriends, and doing dumb shit like throwing your grow trash in the trash.
Keep your mouth shut and control odor.
You'll be ok

We do, but still...its taking 8 gallons or more in the 1 gallons... Once I transplant I'm guessing the 3 gallons will take Atleast double every 3 or 4 days. Not trying to haul 15 gallons of water 2 or 3 times a week. It's easier just to fill up the coolers with the hose, let it sit in the sun for 24 hours and my chlorine issues are gone. Plus, my ppm on tap water is 70. I've just been using 3 MIL of calmag per gallon rather than 5, and seems like everyone is happy.
I'm going to start filling the coolers inside so I'm not seen, but they'll need an extra day for the chlorine to vape off without the sun. Gonna have to stay way ahead of the game on the water then.

These are usually monitored regularly by health departments. However the nozzle everyone can touch.

So I didn't want to pay 4 bucks from Lowe's for a 3 gallon pot 32 X $4 is holyshitthatsalotamoney.....
So I went by a nursery and it just so happens there was an incredibly smoking hot chick working there in the office.. And this nursery didn't actually sell plants or supplies, they basically just do the landscaping for neighborhoods...I was like oh fuck that sucks and went on to tell her I just needed 32 3 gallon pot holders because my momma was relocating some of her Venus fly traps from her old house to her new house and it was a real bummer they were so expensive... (I turn on my piercing blue puppy dog eyes and flex the guns a little as I lean on her desk) and boom! She says let's go take a look and see what's out there... We walk out in the 100 degree weather and I stay way behind her to let her know I'm staring at her Ass and picking up what she's laying down... And she brings me to a pile of used containers probably 10 feet high by 30 feet wide... And says take whatever I need... I proceed to take 40 of 1, 3, and 5 gallon pots! This just saved me a hundred boners... So I was so happy I think I was actually giggling. She could tell I was stoked, and she started giggling too.
So we go back in the office and I was gonna drop her 50 bucks.. And she said, "oh no, happy to see you happy... But what you could do is maybe stop by and bring me lunch one day," and gave me her personal cell number so I could make sure she was there"
And I said "thank you my goddess"
And than she said, "I hope your moms Venus fly traps like the pot"
Not pots.... Pot.
We both giggled.
I think it's a porno waiting to happen in her office when I bring her lunch Thursday.
God loves the growers peeps, and I love God.
Here's some pics of the bitches in their pot.
I did have to dish soap and bleach
em up... But it was eazy peezy.
Every grow is like an adventure.
Now the next battle.. Both 1000s hooked up.. Exhaust hooked up... Pushing 84 in the room... No Bueno for bloom...but it just so happens my boss is getting rid of this old trailer, and it has 3 big Ass ac units... And he said I could have one.
God is good man, God is good.IMG_20190723_040836.jpg
