We bought a 2 bedroom unit when we first got married and lived there for 3 years.
I fucken hated the confinement coming from a farming background.
We bought a big 3 bedroom house on a 1000 sqm block a few years ago and it's the shit!
Chicken basically look after themselves Don.
They eat everything you would normally throw away and supply you with fertilizer and eggs.
Love the little buggers!

Yeah, you'll need a little more garden that that. They're no bother at all man. The neighbours even enjoy them and their eggs as well. Keeping neighbours sweet is always good.
I want a much bigger garden too, a small holding if I'm honest. I want to grow more veg, have a greenhouse, and keep pigs and goats as well as loads more chickens. A bit of the good life!
Thanks mate. You are most welcome!
EC = Electical conductivity.....it's another measure of the nutrient content. Like ppm (parts per million). Or TDS (total disolved solids). Most people on here use ppm, I've always just used EC.

They are so entertaining and easy going. I love watching them take dust baths. Too funny!! And when I get home from work and go outside, they all come running/flying over like nutters to see what you've got for them. Very sociable and friendly creatures. Totally adorable.

some breeds are more noisey than others. Leg horns for example.....remember foghorn leghorn? I say, I say.....
'foghorn' for a reason!LOL...they are prolific layers though, so no wonder they're noisey. Ours just cluck a bit, and it's usually egg laying related. But generally they are quiet and they don't make loads of noise in the mornings when we let them out. the neighbours dogs make more noise!

9 plants and I have a 600W HPS, plus a couple of 125W red enviros which I've been running for the last week. So I'm running 850W in total now. That branch in the previous reference pic has an entire enviro close up to it on it's shadowy side. It can only help!!
In terms of final yield, I have had a thought about it, but I'm not going to say what that was. I don't want to jinx it! My only goal right now is to keep these plants real healthy and vigorous with maximum light penetration. I figure that if I can do that, then I won't be dissapointed with the yield, whatever that is. And as I'm not a commercial grower, the weight isn't that important to me. I just like to have full jars, who cares what they weigh! LOL
It will be plenty for x-mas and new year though!
And I reckon I will have more trim than I've ever had, so extra bubble hash as well!oh and btw....we have cats too. Chickens vs cats......Chickens win!! LOL....The cats stay clear now. But they like to watch them from a far and occasionally run at them, or past them to wind them up a bit. It's all good fun though.

A boat load! LOL....that's what I'm hoping for, yeah!
The chickens......they could take out a cats eye with their beaks man. Chickens have amazing vision and speed, you should see them snatch flies. Add flapping wings to an accurate beak attack and the cats are somewhat put off! The chickens are most vulnerable at the end of the day when they get sleepy. they're proper smacked up and docile in the dark and are easy pickings for anything that fancies a bite. Broody chickens are vulnerable too. But ours are always locked up by dark though, they just take themselves to bed and we shut them in.

yeah, we're getting a bit off topic here eh?! Lets bring it back shall we......
Another of my Trainwrecks........I really love how theses are growing.....
I take pics of them every day so I can look at them when my lights are off. LOL.....how sad is that! I sometimes spot a gap or bit of space that I can train a branch into, then I go fix it up the next day.

and out of those 12 hours, I only get about 2 hours with my plants as I run my lights during the night for perfect temps and cheaper electric. So it has to be a morning routine for me. But I love it!

LOL.....so we all do it then.....oh good, not so sad afterall... hahahaha.....I used to keep pics on my phone too and some grow room videos. Then my brother in law was checking my phone out one day and came across one of them. Thank f*ck it was a family memeber and not someone from work or a gobby mate. He is now part of my very small and trusted network. But I don't keep pics on my phone anymore.
