Growing has always been a game of care and I’d probably **** it up. Well, so is having kids, but no one cares if you kill a plant.

tshile Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 Also I was thinking if you went to the seed sharing, you’d likely wind up meeting someone who lives near you that you can get some weed from… Just stay away from the old people. They’re only there to find someone to get weed from Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tshile Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 (edited) 7 minutes ago, mistertim said: Do you think those grow tent kits are worth the money? So if you break it down it’s basically a tent with pre-fitted venting/cabling inlet/outlets, complete with flanges for a good deal, wrapped around 1/2” or maybe 3/4” pvc pipe. And the interior is reflective to help with amateur light investment. the tents go for about ~200. Could you build your own for less? Of course. Is it worth it if it’s your first time. I don’t think so. the rest of the price is the light. And the light is important. You can get a 450$ kit with a 200$ light or an 1100$ kit with a 900$ light. It’s basically the same kit. With a better light. and some of the cheaper ones have cheaper fans that make tons of noise. they seem appropriately priced when you break them down by components and what you’re getting, and factoring in buying everything that’s designed to work together vs piecemeal assembly to save here and there. a solid kit from a reputable place is not a bad option all things considered if you’re trying to use it in a small space as a new person to it and ultimately are just trying grow some plants for yourself and your buddies its basically what large scale operations are doing except they built/engineer it themselves to fit their needs and space.

tshile Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 That said there are ones out there that are overpriced. you gotta look up the components. carbon filter, fans (specifically noise level), light… shop around and compare components. It won’t take long for you to figure out what’s what. Amazon has a bunch 450-600 but the lights are garbage and the reviews say the fans are loud. The link to kits in the guide I sent is legit. And led lights that’s rated top 5 in all lights in the industry. It’s an 850-1000$ light. Plus you need a 140$ controller. And it’s got a supposedly very quiet fan. And the whole kit is 1100 (not including controller). If you grow 4 at a time and get 10 oz’s each (should get 16-22 on average if you’re doing a good job), your first cycle will produce 160 quarters. At street price you’ve paid for the equipment about 10x over. also when you’re looking at lights…. There’s a lot of opinions out there, just make sure your factoring in lifespan and such. A 300 non led light might be cheaper except the 800 led light has a 5 year warranty and your cheaper one needs to be replaced every 9 months on average. Also the led lights usually cool themselves and the other options (usually cheaper than led) will create a heat problem you need to manage (with additional equipment) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tshile Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 What the **** this is a stupid rule for getting a license Quote The applicant shall also cause notice to be published at least once a week for two consecutive weeks in a newspaper published in or having a general circulation in the county, city, or town wherein such applicant proposes to engage in such business. this is in addition to posting a note on the front of the building sayin your applying for a license.

Fresh8686 Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 (edited) I highly recommend gorilla grow tents, they’re top quality. Electric Sky LED’s are what I’m using and I like them much better than the old school HPS lights for ease of use and heat management. They’re top of the line as well and same for the ac infinity fans with a carbon filter. You will definitely need that if growing because the girls get stinky. As far as yield that is highly dependent on whether growing indoors or outdoors, the size of the pot/container used, light quality, grow space, environment quality, how long you veg, whether you train and top for more colas, and of course the strain. You want to plan ahead with your grow space. For instance you will want a high quality tent to avoid light leaks during the dark cycle if you won’t be able to completely enclose an area from outside light sources. This is extremely important because stress beyond certain thresholds can cause your plants to hermie and seed your whole garden.

Well, as I was joking with my friends this morning…. we’re all celebrating by packing up and heading out do town for a week on the lake together blowing **** up…. In a state where it’s still illegal…… Virginia won’t really be ‘there’ until Jan 1 2024 anyways.

I'm wondering if that's more crony capitalism than it is anything based on actual logic or law. That time frame could give big business (including the tobacco companies) time to get their hooks into the market and dominate it before smaller more agile companies can. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The plant is pulling things out of the soil and you’re adding them when you water. Ph has to be constantly monitored but it could be over/under watering (most time it’s over watering not under…) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He keeps watering them too much, I've told him several times to leave it alone, but he keeps doing it. There have been plenty of times where I've checked the soil to see if they need water and the soil is mushy, we've got the PH stuff coming tomorrow, but do yo think letting the plants dry out a bit would help? The PH in the soil is still 2 too high, but I guess I can add that for the next watering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mistertim Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 I wonder if they were just handing out random seeds or if they actually let people choose. Maybe just between indica dominant and sativa dominant? But beggars can't be choosers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got two packs of unidentified seeds, one called Wubba Lubba Dab Dab, and one pack labeled Silver Mountain X Pleiadian Love Nest.
