DEA just busted a house 3 doors down from my girlfreinds place.Its not even a mile from where i live. The guy living there had the whole 2nd floor lit up like a christmas tree.all the windows on the 2nd floor are busted out from flash bangs n stuff and the front door got kicked in now the front door has a rain shutter covering it. No movement in the house since thursday(the day of the raid). neighbors said when the police started making entry and busted out the windows the house looked like the sun was in there. super bright.No one in the neighbor hood really knows whats going on since no one was close or even talked to the guy/ familly that got raided but our guess is that he was getting careless.supposeblly he had u-haul trucks coming in every 3 months and only went to that house in the late night.My guess is he was runing a shit load of equipment sucking the juice outta the house or someone in the neighorhood snitched. the neighborhood is active,everyone knows each other. he had to have had a shit load of 1k watt h.i.d's cuz it wsa brightttttt as fuckkk!!!

I dont have nothing to worry about rite? im only growing 2 small plants with cfl's lol. im just getting paranoid since its soooooo close to home.

 

[GANJAxDUBZ]

nah man you shouldnt have anything to worry about although i know what your talking about paranoia the DEA only goes after big growers that are careless like you just mentioned they cant really go around trying to bust every little closet and growcab in town growing a few pot plants they just dont have the recourses or the man power so you should be fine.

i call her a she because thats all i have hope for, but im ready to expect the worst. anyway, about 7wekks into veg in this hot ass florida sun that she loves so very much. so many side branching and budsites. no preflowers yet since i heard SAtiva Dom takes longer. i just want to know if the close up on the branching is alternating nodes meaning it is mature and will start to flower? and some advice, tips, and comments.
thanks dudes.

hey got a question????? im in west palm and its hot as fuck everyday like 93 errday!!! my plants love that shit but drink up their water pretty fast, i have to water twice a day, is it better to water in the morning (which is what i do), or at sunset????

 

[RastaMonsta]

water them in the night. water sitting on leaves act like a magnifying glass and burn the leaves up. all the plants in the the garden in the front of my house are burnt up from me watering in the morning when its really hott.

 

[GANJAxDUBZ]

you dont have to poor the water all over the plant. just get the soil around it wet and that wont happen.

 

[Heshyyyy]

i spray the plant so it wont get too hot, im sayin the soil dries up fast when i water in the morning

Both. It's best to water at the beginning or end of the day simply because it isn't still so hot and the plant retains the water given to it better (less evaporates). I like to water at night just before bedtime for the plants, that way nothing evaporates and the plants have plenty of time to get a good drink before the lights come back on and start contributing to the evaporation.

hey rasta, heres some pics of all my fans in the box, my temps run about 84/86. it took me a while to get an even flow, i dont think the cfm's really matter that much with these computer fans, its mostly trial and error. i have 2 intake fans and 4 exhaust fans, all of different sizes. as far as the lamp reflector, i started out with n aluminum turkey pan, but found it to have to much heat build up under (trapping the heat) so i took it off. if there was way to keep it cool, the turkey pan would work great.

yea Im West palm too..What I do is water in morning and get it good and soaked the plant as well, as alot of water is sucked in through plant itself. I have been watering only once a day but that may not work for you.
