I'm waiting to save up a better down payment, or maybe just rent until I can pay cash and be done with it. I also don't know if I'm gonna stay in my state once I graduate. I may end up in Colorado as the IT market pays better, not to mention legal weed. :wink:

Thanks for the link!

Cant rep you, it wont let me. :sad:

So...How does everyone feel about the idea of buying a piece of land in the middle of nowhere in Cali, probably high desert/lancaster/palmdale.san beardo area, and hauling water out to said piece of property to use in a grow. Nothing too large, probably a few acres, probably off some dirt roads with no structures or houses around. No electricity.

I mean, the idea is to build some hoophouses on my piece of property, get some big water tanks out there, and haul a bunch of water out to the place. I would naturally fence off the land, probably build some sort of permanant structure that I can stay in while I'm on the land(or someone else to stay in and guard the land), get some generators out there so I could charge the cell phone, have lights after dark, etc...Obviously, there is more involved, but since this idea is just being birthed, i think the details can wait.

This isn't a home, it's strictly a piece of land to grow on, and I would fully expect to be visited by SOMEONE...be it rippers or police. My only real fear is rippers, cause the police can just seize my property, which I don't think they would do. I'm not planning on spending over 5k on this piece of land anyway, nor am I planning on getting anywhere near 99 plants. I don't even really fear getting ripped off, but more so fear the possibility of being injured or killed in the process of being ripped off.

Anyway, I feel like I could afford a few acres, and I feel like between myself, and a couple very well trusted friends, I could probably have people on the property 24 hours a day during the grow, and definately during flower. I wouldn't want to have guns around, but probably some other weapons around to protect ourselves with...Though if we don't have guns, and someone comes after us with guns, my plan is to give them what they want without a fight and hope they dont kill us...

Ok...So I guess I'm really just asking your opinion mainly on the matters of

A: Growing in the desert with water tanks and hauling water

B: How do I avoid getting killed if someone comes after me with guns?


Please, bear in mind...I'm fucking stoned right now, and this is all just pipe dreams...

well, I hauled water for a small indoor hydro grow once....and it sucked.

you'd need a tanker truck and isn't water @ a premium out there right now? I mean, where would you fill it?

I'd haul water in a Uhaul, with 50 gallon barrels in the back. I'd have my water tanks at the property, probably at least 1000 gallons. And I'd expect to have to spend a full day every few weeks just driving back and forth filling up 50 gallon barrels, and back to the tanks on the property. Probably 30-50 bucks for the uhaul, and I can get 1000 gallons of water for practically nothing ;)

it'd be much easier if you had one big tank instead. THen you could have a larger hose and pump and stuff, if you are gonna x-fer a thousand gallons of water you don't want to do it with anything less than a two inch hose.

Come to my neck of the woods man. There's still some space. I got a small piece, but it ain't much. Still takes a 5 min ATV ride to get to the mailbox. Not much crime here. Ironic, as I'm positive that "we" probably own a quarter of the guns in CA. I take it back. If you're going to spring for land, get some where there the Tebaggers aren't thick like flies.

B: How do i avoid getting killed if someone comes after me with guns?

Just make sure to have more guns than them.

Ok, I like the idea. So you mean like have 2x1000 gallon tanks, and just pop one in the back of the uhaul when it's time to fill it with water? I dunno, I think those things weigh a lot. I could see myself rolling 50 gallon barrels up the ramp of a uhaul with a dolly, but I don't have a forklift to load 1000 gallon tank in and out of a uhaul. No, I never said it wasn't gonna be a shit ton of work... :)

the plastic tanks don't weigh that much bro. you can roll them easily. And usually have quick connect banjo fittings on them for the large hoses.

you would need some sort of ramp to roll it up or an extra guy and you can lift them easily with two people.

If you really do it make sure you fill the tank completely before your road trip.

Moving fluids do strange things to a vehicle.

^^^LIKE LIKE LIKE^^^

Not only do I love the movie, but I also have been known to have a case of the road rage every now and then.

So, I thought to myself just now(took a shit, this was some good toilet seat thinking), I might need some air circulation when it gets hot as fuck in the desert...Well, first off, only the tops of the hoophouses are to be covered in plastic, and instead of bringing that plastic all the way down the sides to the ground, I would instead stop the plastic halfway, and use mesh on the bottom halp of the hoops. Also, I can get some solar inverters and run oscillating stand fans still, since if it's hot enough to need fans, the solar panels will probably be bumping...
