^^^I think that's why it would be better to have more plants (after all that was ONLY 2, which is incredible)
Double the plants, same coverage, half the time...

Alright guys, off topic and seemingly coming from nowhere...

Who know people really close to them in Boston? And I just mean people... not like people who smoke or grow... nothing to do with pot.

You can pm me if you feel weird about admiting to knowing Bostonians, haha.

Thanks everyone. :bigjoint:

So last night I'm coming home and I picked up a guy at the bottom of the mountain. It really sucks becuase all public transportation up the mountain stops after 7 or 8 pm. So if you can't make that you have to hitch. You aren't walking 11 miles and climb an altitude of 5000 feet.

Anyways, picked up homeboy... he was cool. About my age, maybe a little younger. And he's like "Man I can't wait to get home and smoke a bowl of dank". So I ask if he wanted one before home... needless to say he was stoked.

Then he asks, "Do you know anyone who wants to buy some hydro equipment?". At this point I just played dumb, like I didn't know anything about growing. I asked what hydro equipment was... he actually didn't know that much himself. From what I gather dude has a 6 spot Hydrofarm setup. And a 1000w light. He said he had the bulb and the reflector... I didn't ask about a ballast, becuase I was pretending to not know what a ballast even was.

Anyways, dude said he wants to sell it all for $200. That would be cheap for just the bulb, refelctor, and ballast (if there is one).

I think I might get it. Rock a 1k in the closet. What do you guys think?

Also... thanks alot for the Boston responses. Please keep them coming if you also know people there.

:peace:

so its just some random dude you met one time? that sounds kinda shadey id want nothing to do with that what if he tracks you down and trys to take it back + the crop what if its a set up what if its just a burnt out bulb and ballast with mites and powdery mildew if he doesnt know about the set hes selling howd he get it could be stolen or it could be a good deal from a good guy most stoners are good people but there are always ruthless people out there even if its 1/1,000,000 chance hes a bad guy is that worth a few hundred dollars

but then again maybe the lack of sleep just makes me paranoid i grow legally as well and have a 629classic and a mossberg 500 combo so i should have nothing smaller then a elephant to fear

Holy shit dude... remind me never to sneak up on you! lol.

I trust the dude... the real question here is can my closet handle 1000 watts?

Thanks for watching out for me, DTR.

id think so a buddy had a simular closet a bit wider and more narrow with a 1000 watt and he grew six 4 footers with footballs they werent the most potent or dense cause of the heat and pushing them to the max but it was impressive if you have no issues with heat in the summer id try it but your grows are allready so good in the space you got just my 2cents from what iv seen/read maybe get a light meter check your lummens of how your gonna set it up next run heat is my enemy so i wouldnt add any light unless i felt it was lacking

sounds like a good deal to me. but as always be careful with the transaction and keep it as annoynmous as possible. 2bills for that setup is worth it even if u just get a light out of the deal. (if it works and doesnt have thousands of hours on it lol)

Hey Jig, Don't think your cupboard is much bigger/smaller than mine (not 100%) Anyway, temps around 80-81 on mine at peak.

Jig is busy making his way through that wall of buds.Im sure he will emerge soon enough for food and water.Then he will need days to recover.

I'd like to see what a 1000 would do in there.Add an air conditioner to the room you pull air in from. Be great if you can do it without though.

wow man what a monster. Im so jealous. Havent been here for a while, and im sure your busy as shit. wish I could help with the workload, Im sure you can take it down pretty fast yourself. I think that 1000w sounds like a great idea. With your ventalation you could totaly make it work.

Well I miss you man, and Im haven a hard time, been short on work lately, only 20hrs of work for me last pay chek. On a good note, I think my dads guna help with college, and in bout 3-5 years my parents are planning on moving to cali. Should help me in my process of moving there. North cali though, still a wayse away from you.

Well miss ya man. Enjoi the trimming. Oh and why are you so interested in boston?

That is the idea with the next setup. Less time, more plants... less trimming so hopefully bigger buds... or rather less small buds. Trimming is taking forever. And even though the smaller buds will probably make up about 25-35% of the weight... they are taking 70-80% of the trim time on the CJ. The buds near the MH light are such a bitch. They are all leafy. The HPS ones are tighter and not as much to trim.

Good info partner. Thanks.

How are things in Jigs world?
Awesome. I'm pretty happy with things. I'm thinking there may be a lull in the action becuase I am short on funds and time for the grow at the moment. We'll see though.

I think he smoked to much of that big can sized piece and is recovering from it :lol:
It has been treating me well but I haven't passed out yet :sleep:

Maybe he just got hungry? With my vision, I could mistake that for some sort of fruit........
The big nugs do look like some sort of futuristic fruit... especially before trimming. After trimming they look more like pinecones.

You are quite right miztaj. I am slowly working my way through the wall.

I need to call the dude back about that 1k. Then I need to find an investor.

wish I could help with the workload, Im sure you can take it down pretty fast yourself.

I wish you could help too. It is NOT going fast by myself, haha.

I think that 1000w sounds like a great idea. With your ventalation you could totaly make it work.
I think so too, thanks for the positive attitude.

Well I miss you man, and Im haven a hard time, been short on work lately, only 20hrs of work for me last pay chek. On a good note, I think my dads guna help with college, and in bout 3-5 years my parents are planning on moving to cali.
Sucks about work, but that's great about cali. It's a great place to be, north or south.

why are you so interested in boston?
I'm a really big Redskins fan!

So I think I've dried and weighed less than half the CJ plant and I already have a little more than the Sour Grape. I am at 4 and 1/2 oz. I'm pretty stoked.

I think 40-50% of the bud is still on the plant in the closet.:leaf:

JIg,

could you give me a quick run down on how your DWC works. how often do you empty and refill, what kind of nute ratio's, that kind of info. I am going to strat building a vert system and I'd like the DWC system you ran, but I'm a dirt guy and I'm not sure on how it works.

BTW: when I moved to a K it made a world of difference, if you got the funds, it's worth thinking about. you certainly have the ventilation available to make a K work.
