Nice Bro!

Nice Bro!

Just wanted to give you props and respect for putting yourself out there and going totally legit. I have had thoughts of the same but the paranoia always seems to follow. It seems that all caregivers will be registered soon enough. I know of more than one grower who actually had vice cops in their grow room by invitation, which I think is crazy. I just don't trust'em that much. Old habits die hard. Its a brave new world.

Glad you are living the dream, good luck!

thanks for the props guy's. we definatly put in alot of work to make ourselves as legit as possible. luckily our law inforcement in c springs is pretty compationate when it comes to medical grows and dispenceries. it also helps to have people in the right places.

Did I read that you had crop insurance?

Sorry but I thought I remembered some one mentioning insurance. Were you able to insure your crop and if so with which company?

Thanks

Are you going to use tomato cages?

 

[rmccinc719]

hey guy's how's it going. yes i do carry insurance and yes you can find a company that will cover equipment and product up to a certain amount of money. my policies cover fire,legal and public liability. i also have a policy that will cover equipment cost in case of fir or theft and theft of product. in order to get product insurance you must prove you have an approved safe and security system with a monitoring servise that alerts the police department. i found one company called 420 insurance.com but he was totally unreliable. after 3 weeks trying to get quotes and a policy i gave up and went else were. i was lucky to find a local guy called the o'donnell agency. there are few brokers out there covering this endustry but from what iv'e learned there all being underwritten by one of 2 companies. loyds of london and usf insurance company. policies arn't very expensive usually under 2g's per year but they are paid in full policies.

hey securityfirst i was going to do tomatoe cages but i had a $ shortage and ended up just tyeing them up. for the second room I'm to biuld a large pvs frame and do a scrog type set up. hope you guy's all have a happy holiday's and happy growing

Looks like your one step away from going vertical. I wonder if going vertical would benefit your current situation.

Who gets to clean the rocks?

[Dödsknark]

Impressive man! I'm watching this. Thanks

Nice to see a legal grow happening with full disclosure to all authorities. I am really pulling for this one. I like your attitude. Now let's just see if you giving them your honest word is enough to keep them from fucking you over.

Best of Luck. K+

I know you will be first in line once this becomes fully legal and they need people with experience to run ops for patients

Hey guy's how's it going. Sorry I haven't updated in awhile but my computer crashed and it got real busy around quik. So I'll give a small update and as soon as I get a computer up and rolling again I'll post up some new pics. We'll we've got some good and a little bad thisweek. First the good. We just finished up a week long flush and we started harvesting today. Igot 4 bubbalicious chopped and 3 ak 47's. All in all not a bad day's work. Only 23 more to go. Now the bad. Last week we had a pump go bad and left nutes in the buckets overnight.needless to say the water went stinky and slimey and killed a bunch of roots. This all happened in my second veg room and left the plants looking severly overwatered. Luckily we fixed the problem and didn't do to much damage but it definatly put us a week behind. Everything is looking good and should be ready for flip next week. We also just received 10k more lights so we'll be finishing up the rest of our second room and getting our third room up and running. We'll that's it fore now as soon as I can post new picks I will. Also to answer someones question both me and my partner clean hydroton at the same time. We set up a kool little method to get it done in a pretty timly manner. Besides all the hydroton from this grow to clean we also have 5 more new large 50 liter bags to clean. Happy growing.

See, that is where I didn't like the Ebb and Grow.
You can only have one pump so if one fails there is no backup system.
They only use 1/2" tubing, so it takes forever to fill and drain.
It is expensive.

For your next one try USPlastics, they have some good prices on buckets.

If you are doing DWC for your third room, check out Blazeoneup threads. He has a cool system.

Your the man dude! Everything LEGIT! Wish I was in your position, but in my state they frown on anything pertaining to Cannabis. I also have an ebb N flow bucket system, running for over a year or so now, and I have had to buy new pumps for it about 3 times! Mostly because they come with a shitty pump that burns out quick, and I cheaped out a couple times. I would recommend getting a fountain pump, I got one from Lowes that pumps 330gph, and I havent had a problem since, it literally fills and drains all the buckets in less than 5 minutes. Keep it up! You boys are an inspiration!

 

[rmccinc719]

thanks for the compliments guy's much appreciated. yeh those pumps the system comes with totaly suck I'm using maxi pumps now and they seem to work good so far. well i finnally finnished harvesting and now just waiting for for drying and cure to get a total. were probably looking between 6 and 7lbs. not to bad for a first go at this system but we should be able to improve on that on the second room. I'm still having a problem with some of my plants in veg they just don't seem to be drinking any water. they are still very green with a few leaves on the bottom yellowing but all the leaves are drooping like there dried out or totally overwatered. they still seem to be growing but very slowly. I'm totally stumped. I"ve tried flushing them, i stopped watering them to see if they needed to dry out, i tried overwatering them to see if they were to dry to no avail. they just seem to be sitting there dormant and droopy. any suggestions? the roots have all recovered from the root issue when the pump whent bad and are growing and white as hell. man i hope i dont loose half this second crop that would suck big time.
