Raidermans Grow

I was just talking to ganjadownunder about kushberry. Such a tasty strain

I like the 1000 for penetration and density.They both have advantages.For each 1 watt of power it takes 3.4 BTU of energy to cool the space back down each 1000 watt bulb and ballast will take 3400 BTUs of energy to cool off.To run 8 bulbs would take around 3 tons of cooling. to cool lets say for example 8 600 watt bulbs down or around 17K BTU not quite half the cooling capacity needed of the 8 1000,The 1000 watt will put out a foot print of 6x6 the 600 a 5x5 foot print.2 600 watt bulbs will only put out 200 watts more than a 1000 but you will cover a extra 4 ft of coverage area.You spend 20% more but gain almost 70% more coverage area.
I try to always keep the electric bill in mind when i do something..its real easy to start plugging in ballasts.
You are right.the ballasts are just as expensive as the 1000 watt so are the bulbs. I do buy the cheaper bulbs because i change them every six months.
Im running 4 double 600 watt lumatecs they ran around 550 bucks each and 1 1000 watt lumatec with one bad ass ballast 1000 watt. at 350 bucks each.
Needless to say i have a pile of 1000 watt and 600 watt bulbs you could have.
My buddy is still growing ok on 1000 bulbs i give him a year latter.

The orca film is bad ass..

as long as I hava bedroom and white paint on the walls,sealed windows ,that's good enuff for me.i have poly wrapped a lot before jus don't give a hoot for all the glamour other than my hoods ,magnetic ballasts and a sealed floor and good genetics.peace.nighty night gents.

You are a skilled grower.Very good one i might add.A bedroom (it breaks my heart to see you in a bedroom)for you is not good enough.You should have a growing laboratory with breeding facility's space for male plants and id say around 16 1000 watt grow lights in the flower room alone.(this is what i think you deserve)and another 4 in veg.Typical maintenance id figure around 4 hours a day at most.As everything would be automated.(for those kind of watts we would need a power mask and huge cooling though)I know of a few growers around here that grow in warehouses,
The shop i showed you pictures of one guy can operate by himself on typically a hour or less a day.pulling plucking and replanting would take around 3 to 4 days one guy by himself.
Ive got a brother with a HUGE basement just for example right now.he cant grow for shit,Hes got five of my 1000 over there i just let him have to use..I have another five in reserve. 600 and 1000 watters. all magnetic of course. as time has progressed ive changed them over to digital's.
If you lived in the midwest you would be Rigged out you could just use them all i have no expectations of ever using that equipment again.Inexpensive houses all over the place with basements too.
cheap power also.
Just throwing out some ideas..i have real chatty weed..the ripper is like it puts your mind into overdrive.
Or maybe its just being a Texan.We all seem to be very blunt and others take it as rudeness or arrogance.
Im here to help people not bash people,If my experience and education can help someone by sharing it i feel obligated to open my mouth and share it.
It is never meant to be rude and never done with malice.
If it were not for the wisdom i have gleaned from the people of this site i would not be where i am at today and i am humble before all.

That funny Dlopez. Those are old school terms used Uncle Sam stands for US. The US the common old school slang Uncle Sam Or government.
The Fuzz.means the cops This term came from way back on the old days..cops used to wear large round domed fuzzy hats.Someone someplace in time started calling them the FUZZ and it stuck.
Back when i was a kid the term was still used allot.when someone said..HERE COMES THE FUZZ.we would all split.
No one wanted to party with the Fuzz..they are no fun at all.
Of course we were all underage drinking smoking dope(another term not used much anymore)dope.doing shrooms when we could get em..and every once in awhile someone would come up with some purple microdot.Not very often though.
The fuzz was always after us..i dont know why though we never hurt anyone or caused any trouble.How many fights you ever hear of stoners getting into?

RDR these are from your Blue moonshine grow..Jan of 09.
Very, Very nice job,my friend.
Beech

its wasnt much tho but I liked it.theres a veg closet I cant find a pic ,only got to enjoy it for a short time tho.. I did the math on it only come to 3,200 watts, my bad.not including a 250watt swithable hps/mh lamp I had on the side.

My bad homie.. its in ur past. Sorry to hear that in 2000 something m old mans house got raided and they found only sticks. Fucking pigs killed m dog. Shot my dad and my mom ( not lethal ) but they got shot. Fuck th police...

Again sorry brother..

Not a prob...anyway plants lookin good will update Friday evening.i count the days from wen I started flowering and their not as day 40 norm would bring,equal to day 35 I guess.peace.

Yea i cant say i dont get freaked out from time to time.i got raided one time and it was over beans being caught by customs.
The very first place they run to is your computor.(It only cost me around 8000
The announcement by obamao that they will no longer actively be pursuing cases against non violent marijuana offenders and will leave prosecution decisions up to the states. little late.
It pisses me off just to think about it.
There are allot of people who rely upon me.Ive got people who rely on me to make their living.ive got people who rely on me to provide medicine to help them with tumors and cancer.
Ive got one guy who has been flying back and forth to cali for his meds for along time.Now he doesnt have to do that since he has met me.He has a huge tumor in his stomache.
Ive got one lady who was supposed to be dead last year and she is still alive and the only thing that helps her is the tincters i make..AND GIVE OUT FOR FREE to sick people.
I have another lady who has severe blood clotting issues the doctors could not get her hemoglobin regulated she started drinking the tinkter threw away their pills and her blood is regulating itself now.The doctors thought she wasnt taking her pills as prescribed and started taking them right..they dont know nor can they be really told what is doing it is the marijuana.
Same with another guy.docs thought he wasnt taking the pills they gave him correctly .
I guess the point of the matter is you would have to be one really sorry ass mother fucker to throw someone in jail for doing the same thing you did while you were growing up.
If It were their mothers who were ill and needed comfort from afflictions of cancer they will be the first ones seeking you out for help.
There are a pile of us veterans of the marijuana war with the scars to prove it.

Just swingin thru and seen your thread up so I had to say howdy Raiderman. Hope you're doing good brother.

I'm doin fine my friend ,hope you are doin well bro,glad yu stopped by .don't see many long time friends around here anymore..i'm a long time admirer of yure work.always an honor to see you.
