Peyton's Holy Grail Kush - Flux - Hempy - Mars II 400

No haven't called anyone yet. That's something I'll have to save a few bucks up for first. When I call I plan on having at least 150 to spend on it. That way i have enough for a season or two. You feeling up to starting construction today?
 
I filled seven 3.5 gallon buckets with one bag of perlite. I still have half a bag left (2nd bag) that I'll use later. My hempy bucket is full rinsed and ready for the new girl. I've been downstairs and did a little cleaning up. I have two large base cabinets full of stuff that I have to have one of the boys move for me. I took my pool table down when the younger son came home and took over the upstairs. I have to move that too. It is in pieces and two large pieces of slate. Might put it together in the basement and re-felt it. I built oak and cherry furniture for a while and tools are everywhere. Yup it's a mess down there. I redid my master bathroom, had a heart attack during the build took a year to finish the project. Also redid the kitchen this year and just put marble behind the stove and on the floor and the tile saw is still up. It is a mess down there. I always did my own work around the house and instead of paying someone to do it I just bought the tools and did it. It sure sucks being unable to do the things I used to do. Maybe the oil will help.

I'm going to call the perlit people and get some info for you. If you don't mind.

I don't mind if you call. I'm one of them people who never talks on the phone unless it's an emergency. Agoraphobic in my own special way. Should see a doctor about it but I don't have insurance or any of that crap. Damn, I guess you have a lot more cleaning to do than I thought. Wish I had a place to put a slate pool table. Had one with wood and after a few spilled beers it became a trick shot table.
 
I understand the phone thing. After a couple minutes I have to get off. Even with my wife, I do most of the listening.
Wife is off Monday and she will be helping me in the basement. I think I'll put in a little sink too so water isn't a walk to the bathroom away.
My son had a few buddies over playing pool and spilled beer on the felt. No problem, I can re-felt a table, but I do have a little trouble with the rails.
My younger son is on the wife's insurance, he's under 26 ~ thanks Obama, and his son has Medicaid. His employer doesn't have insurance. Neither of them. He's been away working since Monday and is due home tomorrow night. So we'll go get his car Friday evening. Wife usually works 3-11 shift but Friday she works 7-3.
The VA loves to give mind altering drugs to you guys you know. They will treat your Agoraphobia.
I found out you can make the RSO with 2 oz!
 
Yeah I have no intention of letting them medicate me. I don't want all those garbage chemicals. I don't see it as a problem in my life yet. It'll be good for you to get some help down there. I re-felted a table once, was a little more difficult than I thought but I got it done. So you excited for Friday night? Slowly getting your freedom back, and hopefully the oil will help speed that process up and get you all the freedom you had once.
 
I laughed. My buddy has the VA treating him, and I see all the useless garbage they pump into him. They'll prescribe him everything they can to jack up the cost of doing business. I've never considered the government to be much help, especially with people's minds
 
Just called them. They will sell a bag or two to you and ship UPS or FEDEX. I have to call and talk to someone else tomorrow to find out price. He said they are pretty inexpensive. I got mine here for $18 each bag. With shipping that might be close to what you'd have to pay for each 4 cu. ft. bag. A bag will last you a long time. Probably fill four to five 5 gallon buckets. One bag filled 7 3.5 gallon buckets with enough for wife to mix in the bean gardens, 4'x4' and 4'x8' and 12" deep. I'll let you know tomorrow after I call them.

WJ
 
Awesome. Thanks for calling them, I'll be looking to buy a few bags for sure. Never thought there would be a day that I would get excited for gardening item prices. Is this what being a grown up is like? Or is it just a poor people thing lol
 
I think anything Marijuana related excites me nowadays. When growing peppers and jalapeños, how deep of a bed do you need and is it possible to grow them in straight perlite? Or would soil just be better in general?
 
The stems are very long. Have to lay them down due to height, they do this in greenhouses too. they are almost 10' tall/long. These are grown in pure perlite. You can grow anything in that stuff. When I grew my peppers I grew them in dirt. Next time I add one or two pepper buckets to the tomato buckets system.

I weighed the tomato we had for our sandwiches today, first time. Size was the average size and it weighed 31 grams. Tomatoes sell around here at grocery stores for $2.50 a pound.

Yes you can grow peppers in perlite in hempy buckets.

WJ
 
IMO anything hydro is better than dirt. Bigger and tastier. Some might disagree but what ever I have grown is great. I had lettuce heads almost 2' across. My chard has tripled in size since putting in the system. the horizontal pipe on the handrail to the left of the tomatoes. They will be done in a month and I'll replace with lettuce again. Gave the mother and father-in-law a head of my Adrianna Bib Lettuce 2' wide and they had it for lunch and supper for days. I don't eat corn but that is all I'd grow in dirt. Or trees.

WJ
 
My wife used lettuce leaves to make tacos instead of tortillas. Man, first time I had them made that way. mmmmm Hydro lettuce costs $3.50 at Giant Food and it is half the size of mine. She wants me to turn the basement into a lettuce growing operation. I can see telling her we need 6 Mars II 1600 lights to start.

WJ
 
Damn, that's a lot of veggies. I need to get in on that kinda gardening too. And now I want tacos, never had them without a shell or on tortilla chips. I'll make sure I get enough perlite so I can do up a good hydro garden alongside my herb garden
 
Oops, my herb garden is in the dirt. Almost everything grows back. Lost a massive Rosemary bush this winter. I do mean bush too.

I grow my lettuce and Chard and Bok Choy in NFT sort of. But every plant has a .5 gal per hour dripper. Roots are growing towards bottom of the pipe and they will be able to get nutes NFT like.

I am really sold on perlite growing.

WJ
 
Another long ass day.:(
U guys got me sold on Hempy. And now that I found cheap perlite and buckets I'm ready to go.
Plants won't be big enough to do 6 hempys this round. And 12 or 16 smaller Hempy buckets is just too much damn work.
Gonna cut clones when I harvest and veg for 6 weeks in 1 gallon hempys. I'm thinking milk jugs cut off lol or a trip to the dollar store lol
Everything is yellow and dead for foliage and on time for harvest. Said I was going to take a pic, room is 6 feet from me right now I'm just too damn tired lol. Also on harvest I'm gonna take pics of each plant. One of them is fuckin huge. Guessing 2-3 zips on that plant alone. I could be wrong .

Also I started quitting smoking cigs. Bought a vaporizer and nicotine juice for it. Not bad, not good but I can see it helping. I smoke 1 to 1.5 packs a day. Today I bought the machine at like 8 am. Haven't had a smoke since. I do mix tubaco with my weed, so not totally off the junk lol. But I'm working on it.

Jim, nice veggie garden. U inspired me to try the same next year when I'm more prepared. Well not the same same lol I mean grow my own veggies. I do agree hydro veggies do taste way better. My thing is I wanna find a cheaper alternative then GH for doing hydro veggies. I'd use a bottle a week. Did you ever research live organic teas?
What do u use for your nft veggies, and others? For nutrients .

Peyton. 2 weeks since flip? Vegged for 7 or 8 weeks right? If thats so then you'll see preflowers like any day, minute, second now.
Looking good though, good thing u built that new cab lol no way that would fit in the old one hahahha.
Not quite sure if she's stretching or still vegging, stretching she would be reaching up words like a inch a day. Its a ticking time bomb lol any day she's gonna show hairs and explode even more then she already is.

Cheers everyone.
