everyones posting all at once! lol. let me get the guys on other page first:
D-rock: hey man, thanx for coming on over.
pressing is pretty easy. my grandmother taught me when i was a kid. i think thats why i started pressing my MJ leaves.
So, just take your leaf, fresh off the stalk, and place it between 2 pieces of paper. then into a large heavy book. and stack more books ontop. or do what i do, and use that book as my mouse pad
make sure you let it completly dry between the paper. dont use the books pages, and most of the time the pages stick to the leaves, and then the leaf rips when you try to open and take a look.
leave the leaf for at least 2 weeks... more is fine. once they are pressed and preserved they are ready for whatever.
you will never stop the leaf from slowing rotting away.
thats nature... but good pressing will slow that process down big time, and you can have cool coasters like me too!!!
Y: i can picture you in a oompa loompa suit dancing around your flower room. terrible image. lol.
Vinny: hey if i helped in someway, its prolly a lie. lol. good to see ya man
Sammet: the weather latley is giving me a chubby. awesome sun, all day long. cant wait till things GO MY WAY for once and i can start on outside!
got a shovel, nowhere to dig! lol
Y: yewah man, it shouldnt be too bad.. just annoying as hell. you know all about it though. at least my plants are not monsters i cant hide easily for a day or two
Sammet.. yeah! can i check YOUR kitchen Cabinet again??
i know i got no stash hiding! lol.
Zoolander: cheers mate. glad to have ya here. ive been a long time lurker of your threads. Geisha is sexy
Dog: yeah man... ive already had like 4 calls from ppl asking me if i need a bad. these guys know im a SMOKER ... dammit. tempting... but someone needs to SHOW ME before i buy.. im NOT smoking SHIT ANYMORE!!!

damn nz, sorry to hear about the tear down. sounds a little suspect imo, i thought they did weatherization by using thermal photography in the winter and seeing where heat leaks out. ? oh well, better safe than sorry. and the good thing is you will have a chance to re-do anything you thought could have been done better after putting it together the first time 
cold turkey? damn. i'm impressed. wait a minute, i just had a thought... hmm... yup, there it was.
keep an eye on my signature line, there will be a new thread

Just signed up to an online dvd rental service thingey. They've got Ideal season 2 and 3 on dvd there Happy days!
Shame about having to dismantle the bed - my first grow ever was interupted by a flat inspection so I know how you feel. I hope it all goes well mate.

heya leel...
nah dont think anything suspect going on... its an old crappy house.. and the owner applied LAST YEAR for a weatherization of the place.
but then, when we were talking about growing, he had told me that he had cancelled it for some other "option" or whatever the hell hes intitled too. *shrug*
guess they wanna do it anyway...
but... play it by ear.. it shouldnt be too big of a problem in the end.
the rebuild (other than costing me more money i didnt wanna be spending) will be a good one indeed. il be ready to set her up and go go go!

thats too cool you lucky basterd!
yeah.. i think all growers have to experiance the break down at one point right?....
guess its my turn!
unfortunately it happens to the best of us.NZjay said:
as you know i aam speaking from multiple experiences. i can tell you 1 thing, you will get better at making your build removable in a hurry after 1 scare or walk through. i hope the flat check goes smooth for you as mine did. i gotz to get back to building my room at the new house. haha last week had a walkthrough and this week new crib 
moving plants sucks but better than ditching them. i will pray for NZjay safe return. 
sir
Hey NZjay! Sucks about your current predicament. I am sure all will be fine and youll be pumping out purple tinted buds soon. Nice bong too btw.
Nice bong too btw.

awesome you made it in Sir, and i appreciate the support in the break down!
you are right, i do know you are experianced in them, so having you giving some support means alot!
i got no doubt that the bed will be rebuilt a better version of the original, so although im not looking forward to having people here, im looking on the optimistic side, and looking forward to doing the bunkbed from stratch - with Co2 - with AC - and possibly with a full bed of urkles right around the corner.
take care mate. thanx again for the support.
Tricho: yeah mate.. things will work out... im not nervous about it... more just frustrated. but it could be alot worse. they could have wanted to come when i was deep in flower or something! that woulda REALLY sucked. lol
i appreciate all the kind words folks! you all rock, and im sure ill not only come out of this just fine, but the bed will get another upgrade sooner than she thought!
2 upgrades during 1 grow?? boy i better pull a nice crop this round!

saw you on the mandala board and went here from your link. it looks like a nice grow.

NZjay
Y: bro, you are the busiest mofo on these boards
yeah i love both you threads yo! i just had alot on the plate ! more below
Weedandfishing: love the name mate! two of my fav things to do at the same time! nothing better than drowning some worms with a joint in ya mouth!
glad you dropped in, hope ya stick around... this bed is gonna be blown UP!
Everyone:
ok, some news!
turns out, the guys were knocking on the front door this morning at 8am! (uninvited and all - how rude but anyway)
roommate was home, let them in to inspect the house, other than "that room... the dude who works nights is asleep" . hehehe nice one.
they checked the house, and decided a few windows need replaced, along with a door, and they wanna work out a new heating system.
but, then came some good news! (from my behalf) lol.
they wanna see if the landlord will pay for half of the repairs/weatherization!
why is this good?...
the land lord hates this money pit house. and even said once we move out, he will bulldoze it over and be done with it.
so, its Likley he wouldnt wanna put more money in, right??
so, its likley everyone says "fuck it, live there in the cold". which.... would be just fine with me
either way... i dont care... ill break the bed down if i need too, otherwise, ill just keeping rolling.
i did put all my plants outside lastnight, incase i was gonna have to break the bed down in a hours notice of them coming out here. but it didnt come to that anyway....
all my girls are in veg, so noone will be affected by the temp move
thanx all for the support!
you guys rock!

not out of woods yet... but im pretty calm about it...
the guys that turned up knew the guy i live with... so there wasnt too much hassle about not coming into this room this time.
turns out, they only want landlord to pay for half of the new heating the want to install... not the windows/doors.. so at some point, this bed WILL be made to look like a bed again in the near future.
right now, the girls (other than the veg room girls) are outside .. and to continue my crazy run of bad luck, its started raining! nothing heaving, but a constant drizzle. i
ill check local weather to see what it stops... but i would hate for the rain to overwater my girls!!!
thanx everyone for the support comments. ill get back to yas personally a little later.
peace!

what a roller coaster. good thing they are in veg i tell ya. mine were in beginning of flower and 20 at end of flower. the ones deeper in , some got nanners from all the enviro changes and bad light and stuff, but not many. i got them all and the flush starts next water. they are on day 40 now. i may take them in the 50s, early for me but if they make me worry they are gone. the younger ones, six lavenders and 2 erkels threw some ballz with they buds but i got them and i dont think they will come back. i will watch diligentally neway. but tomorrow i finally hook up a 1k for better light(under 400mh for 3 days). as soon as i figure out power situation i can hook up all equipment. oh damn sorry for the rant i type so fast i dont notice. haha just was trying to get across- count your blessings not your sorrows haha and all that came out lol
