The smoke is very bad this morning almost like fog. I’ll go to work but not sure if we should be working in it. It will make for a crazy photo later though if it hangs around
What seemed like the whole summer before my house and whole town burned down in November 2018, the Carr Fire was burning over in nearby Shasta county. I fish allot(used to) i usually fish Shasta lake ALLOT during the summer. Monster trout. We only went out there 4 times that summer and we would be out trolling on the water saying we probably shouldn’t be out here everytime :-( go home with a major headache. The very last time I fished there the fire had grown out to the lake. Trolling right next to the hillside on fire by the dam. Dry Creek.

i feel for your whole country bro. So sad.

Was on my way to work this morning and my truck started to run a little rough... then I felt the truck shimmy from the left side to the right and then my check engine light started blinking... pulled off the freeway and cruised to my mom's house (how fortunate for me). Borrowed her car and headed back home to get my obd2 and some tools. Blinking engine light means engine misfire, so I was pretty sure it was a bad plug... got back to my mom's and plugged in the scanner and revealed #7 plug was bad. Off to the store to get all new plugs and boots.
After a couple of hours the truck is running like new! Yeah me.
Here's a picture of the #7 plug and another random plug. Can you tell which one is 7?

The one with no electrode? Next question is, where did it go?

It's 48w and takes my run time down to 3h50m without the pump and fan.
save the ups for the pump, without your grow lights I doubt you'll need the fan for that short period. those lanterns will provide sufficient light for the phytochrome reaction if you space them equally around the plants. If fact, they are cheap enough and come in a 3pack, get a second 3 pack. . A few hours with little photosynthesis won't hurt.

what kinda motor , those plugs are way different looking and maybe their some of those that my friends at the parts store told me were like 20 bucks each ...idk.
I have a 2004 f150 5.4 liter
Set of coil/boots was 240 (on the cheaper side) motorcraft would have been 320. I think I paid 13 bucks per plug. Bought a torque wrench too... 420 bucks later I was back on the road. >:(

The last set i just put in 12k miles ago! Piece of shit auto lights (I think they were auto lights)

Nope looks like they were motorcraft... piece of shit ford shit!

I agree, 4 extra hours of dark won't hurt them. Just make sure to tell the electrical company to stop fuckin around. At least you don't have to worry about power being shut off due to random high winds

Precisely, even if they were in veg, a few extra hours of dark won't trigger flowering. In flower it doesn't hurt at all unless you are talking days without any light.

I’d leave them in the dark, they’ll appreciate the light more, tough love
It would be ideal for me if I didn't have to go into a dark basement with no power. They're only nine days into flower, is all this stuff about not interrupting light cycle during flower a myth.

Our power is really stable here. I don't think it has gone out for more than a couple hours in the past five years. Even during the big ice storm a few years ago when everyone lost power, we were toasty warm and well lit.

No but thanks for asking. I'm sorry for making you feel sad.

I'm a fuck up. You can all see it. Wish I could too. Sorry for drawing all that attention to myself. My problems run very deep.

Found out my power is going to be cut for up to four hours on Thursday afternoon. :mad: I have a UPS that will keep my air pump and fans running but it's not enough to keep the lights running. I don't get any ambient light in that part of my basement so it will be completely dark.

Think a few LED lanterns would be enough to keep them from freaking out?

Just as the light is about to go out, exclaim in the plants’ earshot “oh my GAWD it’s an ECLIPSE!”
That should prevent bad behavior on their part.

i gotta find a new house....
my boss closed the restaurant they were running, because they're getting too old to do it anymore, but that gives them nothing to do and too much time on their hands, so they decided they'll manage the apartments themselves, and they intend to install a laundry where my little house is now....
so after 13 years in the same place, i have to move.
it's not the end of the world, but it kind of feels like it at the minute. after the fire we had a few years ago, rental properties aren't thick on the ground. i may end up having to move a town over, or out into the county....again, not the end of the world, but i have to go find a place where i can feel comfortable growing, and living...
oh well, i'll update as the search goes on. i don't have to be out till march first, so i got 6 weeks or so to find something.
