Fly, @Peeece had asked what it was that you were looking for for insulation? Is it for the grow room?

Oh yeah, forgot about that. I was wondering about getting the small-scale greenhouse with a space heater, just to pack inside a palette floor and keep it warm. Not a big deal. If the greenhouse at work don't come down soon I won't have to worry about it.
Well we're finally getting a new water heater in a few minutes. It's been a week and a half wait and I... WANT... HOT...WATER!!!!!

Wait what? You've had no hot water for a week and a half? Holy cow that's nuts! Have you been showering with the salmon?

Looking Good Fert. !!Hey guys just some 52 Days pics... I trained some of the other branches down so that now pretty much every top is on the same level. The funny thing is I didn't even need to anchor the ties into the soil, just pretty much hanging them on the branch weighed them down enough.
I got pistils showing now, so hopefully it gets a little bit bigger through the stretch.

Congratulations! Now try your hand at some captions...
Oh the government.....my favorite entity (please note the dripping sarcasm). But lets not go down that ugly rabbit hole today.95% of the population can't believe truly organic food grows in "shit"...fully composted, sweet smelling manure. Then again, most people don't know where their food originates...often some nasty, stinking warehouse out in the middle of nowhere (where neighbors can't complain about the stench).
The "organic" label is an oft-discussed topic where I live. The State of Maine has MOFGA (which is under the authority of USDA) and in the USA the government controls who can label their retail food items "organic"...somehow, somewhere they took ownership of the word...and sell it back for use. So, the government charges a fee (and makes you jump though a lot of silly hoops) to sell "organic...beef, eggs, veggies" and soon probably cannabis. of course, being the government, they screw it up and actual (commonly accepted, centuries old) organic methods are better than those outlined by USDA...and you cannot deviate at all from their methods. For instance, "organic" eggs and chickens can only eat "organic" chicken feed. Our chickens eat bugs, worms, grass...everything BUT feed. Feed costs $ and only until the last 50 years with an abundance of (heavily subsidized) grains produced did anyone start feeding animals so much grain. "Grass fed" is a premium now...right?...but was the only way cattle have been fed for millennia. Read Little House of the Prairie and see how much work it is to grow and process grain BY HAND! No way they were going to feed that to their livestock..
Thus, most farmers in my area are not "organic"....they just grow "organically"...which means lots of manure
Most of us haven't read 1984 since high school...I re-read it last year and was shaking my head the whole damn way through. Orwell was clearly a child of WWII era and as they say...know your history since it will always be repeated.
Too heavy for this early in the morning?
Ah....cause water hemlock is organic but that shit will kill you in a heartbeat!
My brother was a survival instructor in the airforce....trained the other instructors and he had an instructor that he was shadowing that had a class out in the woods and he came across the water hemlock plant. That instructor pulled out his knife, cut the plant open to show the class the stem. He wiped the knife down on his pants afterwards when he went to put it away.
Well....he forgot what he used that knife for and he went to make a peanut butter and jelly sammich when they got back to the tents. Dude almost died. Like he was on deaths bed for a while. Many people suspect its what was used to poison and kill Alexander the Great. (You are welcome for your history lesson).
Seriously, read up on that shit.....water hemlock....no joke. The most toxic plant in North America!
If you have any local eating establishments you frequent, perhaps you could ask them to save some scraps! Also you could swing by any smaller grocery store and ask them what they do with their produce that has gone bad.Got my worms this morning! Thanks Blew. In our house we have more fruit scraps (my son) than veggie (don't sit down to dinner as much these days) so I guess fruit flies will be a problem. I'll toss some soil on the fruit to keep the flies at bay and tape some sticky paper to the underside of the lid to catch what I can.
You should have seen my wife's face last night when I told her to save the dryer lint. As I mentioned earlier, she's fine with throwing out food scraps and me buying my soil. Looks like I'll be scrounging through the garbage can to feed these worms
Don't say that.....some of us love dirt and everything associated with it! I love dirt and I love compost! I love the smell of good dirt!!
I am betting that once she sees the finished VC and THEN sees how plants grow in it...she will become a fan. No one falls in love with composting in the beginning...

What a weird coincidence, I just went hiking with the gf and we were going off trail, she found a bunch of water hemlock she wanted to pull up so no one's horse came and ate it or anything. Nature reserve though, so gotta leave what's deadly there.
Hey guys so I finally figured out how to work around the 20 MB file size. Transcoded this video with x264 before uploading. How's it look fellas? (The video, not my leafclutter)
View media item 1520821
One of these days, maybe I will try my hand at making a quick video of the flower tent.
You guys have a lot of that water hemlock out in your state Fert. Its funny, most people have never heard of water hemlock. There is a shit ton of it out where I elk hunt in Idaho. Its everywhere along the creek areas there.

Video looks great Fert! I had no idea we could upload vids to the gallery...thanks for the info
Also...you still haven't boosted that JH, so I'm gonna keep recommending you raise it about 24"

I h
Yeah I had only really heard about it once or twice maybe, though I might have confused it with Hogweed. This new girl I'm dating is a farmer's daughter and I guess their cows eat it all the time

What's that? You recommended raising it?
I don't mean to dismiss your advice bud. It's just that without going into the nuances and intricacies of my grow setup and all, you have to take my word that it would make it extremely prone to tipping over and I just don't want to risk that for a little extra light intensity. Plus, this being all for experimentation and all, I want to see how it grows with the CMH being that overhead for its whole life. If this had been an MH or an HPS, that seeding would have been stretched as hell, from my personal experience, so I'm real curious to see how it will flower out being that low down. What I am probably going to address though, is the plants crowding it out, probably by more training and defoliating so that there's a little circle in the net for the JH.
The only thing that sucks about the video upload feature is that it has a 20 MB file size limit, so I had to transcode this video before I could upload it. Not exactly intuitive for the non tech-savvy.
I definitely don't recommend knocking it over. I was just thinking that since they do best under 20/4 or 24/0, and you're giving them 11/13, all the penetration in the world won't make up for the lost light, but closer would be the best possible compensation if it were possible.What's that?

Keep in mind, I've had this CMH this high above it the entire time, under 11/13 light schedule, and it hasn't stretched out. If this were a MH or an HPS, I know from past experience that the plant would look like a pool noodle, but the node spacing is staying good.
But an experiment is an experiment and tipped over plants suck! Carry on as planned
