Kingston NY it is only a couple hours away and I could not pass up the deal on this motor. It is a 2022 Tohatsu motor with less than 5 hours on it. I am tired of screwing with my old 15hp Evanrude. The old Evanrude ran great in a barrel but take it on the lake and nothing but trouble.
Sounds like a great deal! Kingston is right across the Hudson from Rhinebeck where my dad went to summer camp and worked after he was a camper.
Drive safe!

What are your temps like Capt. It only in the 50's here. As Shed said cloudy is good but I also need it to warm up a bit.We been having a little rain
It’s Chicago so it’s never the same for long here but lately it’s been in the 50-60s. We broke records a while back when it was in the mid 80s for about a week. Then it was daytime highs in the 40s overnight in the low 30s right after that. CL

Rain rain and more rain My girls need sun shine. I keep moving the light closer but there is nothing like real sun, My plants are getting a little bigger, but patience is not one of my strong points. As Shed told me last year it is the sun solstice that controls the plant going from veg to flower on outdoors plants. So outside of making an indoors grow room there is nothing I can do to change this. Wait I will do and watch and learn. So far I have gotten through germinating, now wait for veg. I love these plants even more now. When feeding with Prescription Blend do you feed every time you water or only once a week? With Advance Nutrients I feed my plants every time I watered them but with PB it says once a week.

I still have not heard from anyone at Prescription Blend. This guy must only check his messages once a month if that. My questions could and should be answered by him. I am still going to stick with PB for this years grow as I hear nothing but good things about these nutrients from everyone here.
I feed-water-feed-water at first, then feed-feed-water. It also depends, if you feed to runoff every time then you can feed every time, it just goes through a lot more nutes.
Edited to say that I also use PB in hydro, so the plants have no problem with full strength. You just don't want build-up in the soil.
It doesn't mention anything different on the website that I could find so I would feed every time.
But no nutes until the second set of leaves are completely in.

Just bought a grow light from Amazon. It is nothing special but will be better than what I have now. 6000k full spectrum with clip on to hold it pretty simple.
How many watts does it draw from the wall?

25 watts each light and there are two lights

RA >95 LED quantity =42 LED each
I will be honest I do not know what all this means, but it has to be better than what I am using.

So 50 watts of LEDs... should be okay for sprouts, but get them used to it over a couple of days.
You can return zon for 30 days if I were you I’d return it and get that new light from @ViparSpectra . I think it’s only like 120 bucks. CL

You are probably right Capt. but it only cost $15 and once it is warm enough outside they go. I am not growing indoors.You can return zon for 30 days if I were you I’d return it and get that new light from @ViparSpectra . I think it’s only like 120 bucks. CL
Hey Keith check out some of the grows members have using that light. It’s the @ViparSpectra XS-1500 pro. CL

I checked out this light and I have no need for anything that big. At least I do not think I do plus I have a 100 year old house with old wiring.Hey Keith check out some of the grows members have using that light. It’s the @ViparSpectra XS-1500 pro. CL
I'm not telling you to buy a light, but if you have a toaster, toaster oven, microwave, or hairdryer somewhere in the house, that light is probably 10% of the power draw of any one of them.
