So I know.......

We are all like...

BUT OGpapa .. you don't have any other areas!?

I know I know. I have been contemplating that myself. Santa never had his little helpers build Papa a grow room.

Well after much thought. Being stoned. AND staring at one big box for way too long!

I did it

I built o box.

I know. I know. WTF. Wtf. Wt! F! Papa.

Yeah I get it. I just couldn't wait. This light deserves to be hanging. Just like all great lights. So if it must hang.... It must hang over something..... Right..

Born was the build o box.

The finest, thickest box known to man, or woman. We don't discriminate here.

At 24x30 it's a big freaking box.

After a few stickers and some paint. The box fit in a little better. I then found a windshield cover not doing anything anymore. Lookie lookie!! It's reflective! Pretttttty! Bwhahahahaha

After some fine fitting, and a nice sold piece of wood cut for the inside. The build o box was taken shape, literally. BwhahHahah

Then it happen. Papa found the fancy Xtreme HVAC tape. Now it's official. 100% official

No stupid people

Girls look great.

Love the new @ViparSpectra wow , Viper Val strikes again. Hehe :rofl:

Gret work on the new grow box.
Should be able to grow a couple in there just fine.
If I asked before I apologize, I forgot a lot of stuff.
But my question is do you have a smoke detector and fire extinguisher in there?
Just incase.
Hope your having a great day.
Take care my friend.

I was hoping @ViparSpectra would approve!

Your story hit home for me bill. I do have 3 extinguishers in a 40ft area 1 at door and 2 within 10ft of tents. I do not have a smoke alarm Installed. I work in the same space. So I'm always doing something to set it off, between working on cars, painting, laser etching, jewelry, etc. I will be looking into fire suppression units soon. Hopefully by spring my grow room will officially be in it's own building.

Great.
I mention it to so many people I've totally lost track.
Just seeing the new box

made me think of it.
I need a 40' workshop.
Good for you, that's fantastic.

Nice light . You will love it

Papa OG · Dec 30, 2022

Now .. the meter. I have had for a few years. It was calibrated originally. Never had an issue. I checked calibration last year when I replaced batteries. Still within range.

But today. Probably because I've used it so much. I seen some floating in the readouts. I would place it in the cup, count to 20sec. If the readout changed, I would restart counting. I kept rinsing and drying in-between. But it kept giving some inconsistent readings. So I started shaking it out, to verify it was dry.

I got to the point. I was checking the pH of multiple things around me to verify / compare. I had never 2nd guessed prior. But. Now I think Papa might need a better pH meter.

Either way general hydroponics includes the test kit. Not 100% but makes me feel more confident, it's withing range.
