Escaping California

Well that's a good point too though. I don't have a job, just lucky that my wife can get her old one back maybe. Nothing is for sure as of yet. But regardless, we can barely get by heregand why not be barely getting by back home you know? I may be able to get my old job back too, if that happens we are in way good shape. I would love to not have to mess w/ selling it, if I don't have to. I haven't yet, but it will be tempting too there. Just not worth it, I mean it's not like I can sell some and go grab a couple zones of gods gift or some good og kush. It just ain't available. So I will be hoarding like a greedy little bastard, eh, why not? But ya that thought is always in the back of my mind, nagging at me. Very tempting. Hope I am making some good dollars soon, that would quiet the "evil voice" in my head. I swear it's the gov, they put a chip in my head!

How long you think you could get by watering w/ a 5 gallon bucket each plant? 3 or 4 days?

Water every day after transplanting, until the taproot reaches the water which sits at he bottom of the bucket, and the transplant takes off. Then water every 2 to 3 days. The plants grow very rapidly - up to 2X faster than soil. Also the hempys are way less hassle than soil. A suggestion: while growing, keep the buckets in rubber tubs to catch the runoff, then use a shop vac or electric pump to remove the runoff.

A good bucket size is 2.5 to 3 gallons, especially for smaller-scale personal grows. The quick setup and accelerated plant growth would be highly advantageous if someone decided to throw up a quick PU grow, then pull the gear down immediately after harvest, for security purposes.

Here is a bit more ...

^great links thank you!

 

[lordbudly]

you ever think of drbud? you could get away with just a few cfls depending on how much you smoke

 

[IE2KS_KUSH]

Hmmm?
Dr.Bud? I will google that, don't even know what it is.
All right, thank you, just started and am on page 2 now and wanted to get back here and reply before I got lost for the next however many hours lol! Thank you. THis looks pretty interesting for sure.
As far as how much I smoke, eh....
I smoke alot, and eat it, and take baths in it, so, don't ruin the ending of this thread for me, it looks like a long one.
Do you think that drbuds method cannot produce enough to get from harvest to harverst?
I'm like an indian w/ my shit, I use everything, but I like to smoke a shit ton the best.

 

[lordbudly]

well no i just didnt know you used, that much, so its gonna take more then a few cfls, but you could even mimic dr buds old grow of 2 sq ft, 210watts of cfls, 27 clones, harvest 3 a week, 7 grams a cut, can you smoke more then 3/4 an ounce a week?


http://icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=69713&do=filter&fid=30088 these are all filtered drbud posts, of his old grow , 210 watts of cfl, 420watts total including his moms

you can always locate seeds whether your state is med friendly or not. Always the ability to start fresh whether you have your stash in seed form or not.

enjoy new or different strains for sure.

mexi brick has great genes in them

I am still going thru both threads, but yeah, 3 grams a day, an eigth? I am sure there are plenty of days that I smoke that or less, but also certain that there are many more that I smoke more as well. Before I grew, that would be enough, now I am spoiled, but one thing is certain, in the near future I will not be smoking any. I am sure I could make it work, but I do already have 2 400w ballasts, tent, etc......
but lots of good stuff in their w/ his set up and cabs. I am certain I will be stealing many ideas from there now. One thing is I will have lotsa time to develope, plan, and build or set up prepare whatever I decide to do. So that's good, I plan on doing it right. Thanks again.

thats just a minimum, if security is utmost important, id suggest, coco, and drbud style, coco would be great, reusable, and sterile medium, some people have used the same coco for over 15 years, and then run it like drbuds new grow show, like one of his cabs, which is 588w, 14- 42w cfls, each cab 5.4 sq feet,39 3/4" Wide x 25 1/2" Tall and 19 1/4" deep,W/72 cuts flowered in a perpetual style.....Thats 9 harvested per week, averaging 7grams a clone once dialed in, can you smoke/cook/hash 63grams a week, thats 2 and a quarter ounces a week

the grass is always greener, and im not being sarcastic. heaven or hell is in you, not the "physical world". success is realy dictated by the character of a person thru good and bad times. moving wont change whatever is in u that you need to change. west coast is best coast. there is always a give and take in any situation

Eh, I still have some, so I am not too worried about them, just hope I get some females that are stable and strong smoke, time will tell. As far as the bag seed, eh...maybe, it's always fun to experiment, so we'll see, I know there won't be any shortage of bagseed there that is for sure lol.

Heaven and Hell both are in me I think.
Very true words there, the one thing that gives me comfort is knowing that I can grow on, it will just be put off, it's just shitty to have to take down 6 weeksish into a crop, and get rid of my stash, I am over it though. Gonna give someone I work w/ tomorrow a egg sized ball of iso, it's not bho, but it's alright. They will think it's amazing I am sure, from what I gather, they have never smoked any hash ever, and just smoke whatever they get, and apparently it isn't that great. So it'll be fun to be like, "eh btw, here you go, can't take this w/ me have fun!" Also a pile of keef. This is one of the people that I worked w/ that thought I was a mormon lol!
Got all my glass clean, except one pipe that just can't get clean, but just gotta pack up and clean up the house now. Then it's off on the road. Should be fun, first leg will be 13ish hours, maybe. We'll see, my wife is taking the other vehicle and she does not think she can drive that far, she's a baby.

hey man, i gave up a sweet life( at the time i thought not). owned my home at 18, grew indoors all by myself. had evreything i needed or wanted, then gave it up to move back to the coast in bc. little did i know alot had changed since i left. i spent 6 years, tens thousands of dollars trying to get established and all my time and effort to rock crops which half got busted by thieves, lanlords or police then had 2 bad accidents one after the other which got me my lisence. we create an experience so we can learn. its good im strong willed because all my friends would have given up or died after these 6 years. it took hardships to change me, not physically moving anywhere. the worst thing in this world is we die and dieing is easy or coming quickly. enjoy yourself and your family while you can, and stop your internal dialogue(the victim in your head thats always talking circles) at any cost. good luck mang, i hope you find what you are looking for;-)
