Jela what do you think of power costs? have u kept track?


Is this a possible solar powered system>
You would need a bunch of panels to pull it off. I've done some cyphering, and it costs me about $100 in elect per grow (veg & flower) lights (dual 400's), fans, & heater. That's 1260 KW hrs. When I was running just a single 400 it cost me less than $20/plant to grow, I still keep in under $30/plant

I like classical style music. Apocalyptica and the String Quartet projects do very well. I've always wondered about reggae. On teh one hand it;s glowifying the girls ultimate purpose, on teh other it seems like it could be like playing Das Deutschlandlied over and over again in a Synagogue. A holocaust is certainly coming.

If you dig Led Zep and guitar music in general, give this a watch if you haven't already:

Not posting a video link because it's like 90 minutes long...
Mad, got the blueray coming...I want that one in it best detail...

Sweet, Vai is awesome...love his involvement in G3....and yes that one gets yah going....plants should grow well to it too....I would.

Day 20, just a day left of this unweilding 3-week stretch, fingers crossed.....prepping for the possibility of bending them over...I'll watch them closely. I have 6" left that I can move my lights up if i go directly to the tent cross-members. Took out half a pound of sucker branches. Gonna focus their energy to the larger producers up stairs. More bud development happening...but I see already these won't be long spears of cola's...just groups of maybe 6" long fatties if I work it right. BTW I vaped some of the puff balls on the sucker branches....whoooo.... freaking effective already...lots of satty in there...got me in the kitchen workin up some home-made pizza....

Pizza, did someone say pizza? yeah....Friday nights are pizza time in our house. I've got this cool pizza dough recipe that uses beer instead of water...every couple of weeks I make a batch in the bread machine with the "dough cycle" and put balls of it away in the fridge to ferment....that beer yeast from the Hefewiesen gets in bed with the bakers yeast and produces some wicked children. After two weeks of fermentation we roll it out on Friday night and start flopping down ingredients, including sugar leaves....in the oven for 12minutes at 450° and you are in "munchy heaven". Never ate a pizza "out" or had one delivered since...it's a ritual! PM for the dough recipe...it's killer and f_ckin easy....
On the left is my wife''s Turkey Pepperoni Concoction.....Mine on the right was dressed with garlic infused olive oil, black olives, canadian bacon, Texas summer sausage (Poffenbergers), Red "Fresno" peppers and shaved Parmesan...simple, lean and mean.

My new friend Pcinla "up there" is watching my backdoor (LOL).
"Ah, ah! We come from the land of the ice and snow, gonna visit Jela when it's 30 below ..." Maybe you should be building a wall on you NORTHERN border -- especially with Washington State now being legal -- rather than your southern border! Jela, Mad Hamish is right. You're a Zepp fan, so you're in for a treat when you finally get around to watching "It Might Get Loud." It's an excellent rockumentary on three great guitarists: Jimmy Page, The Edge from U2 and Jack White. It's one of my favourite rockumentaries in recent years along with "Pearl Jam 20" (Pearl Jam), "Back and Forth" (Foo Fighters), and "Beyond The Lighted Stage" (Rush). Getting closer to launching that Hempy Bucket grow. Picked up my Grodan Rockwool Grow-cubes the other day and I've chopped six of the eight plants I have in flower. In fact, I have two more plants to trim tonight (and I've added a Caliber IV hygrometer for the curing process), so maybe I'll get the vaporiser and "It Might Get Loud" going this evening as I trim a couple of more plants. You can only watch so much CFL football.

Mind if I ask where you bought the Skywalker Og (reserva prada?) ceeds from? Were they feminized or regular ceeds? Thanks.

Still Day 20...lights came on and it was apparent the yo-yo hangars had to come out...so I moved the SGS-160's up to the top tent cross-bars. Now I have just 11" of clearance between the lights and the canopy. Lots of light penetration after thinning , every top gets it's share...hell I could start some plants on the floor with these LED's.

Day 21, girls are fed....then I look outside, in the hottest place on the planet and see some rain coming down 30miles away in the evening, early in the month of August. Outside of the great sunset's we get this time of year, I start to photograph the event....only in shear freak'in relish for a downpour over my piece of the sandy desert. First I saw the down-pour, then up above there was this ray of light above the clouds...."Shit" I say, "It's a Bart Simpson Alien".

Been looking up these Area51 LED's. I can afford them up to one part: Shipping them to S.A and the import tax near doubles the price. I'm going to have to try twist my hydro store's arm to try distribute them here officially, it's the only way around all that extra expense :(

Day 23 of 12/12 is here, the dreaded 3-week stretch is slowing if not "stopped" with 9"-10" clearance left under the LED's...I'm maintaining a nice even canopy for such lanky chickita's and I might even get some colas by the looks of the puff-ball spacing..they surely need some filling in, but I've seen worse...believe me. It's actually one of most surprising things to witness in a grow... when you see the sparse flower-sets turn into a full column, even more when they get fat. Upping the Canna "Boost" to 25ml/g at this time.

Watched "It Might Get Loud" on blueray last night per Mad's suggestion....what a treat! The years have been kind to Jimmy Page...love that long gray-haired Einstein/mad-muscian look in his later years......I've never seen a lot of footage of him speaking to the camera or anybody for that manner, but his sobriety and the impeccable clarity of his dialog is shocking, and only proves his love for the music is genuine...I was right "in the pocket" with a buzz when he started playing the "Theremin". Thanks for taking me there Mad!
