Nerves during a project

Well, ive been out of the game for 8 years but getting started again on Monday with:

Flying Dutchmen G-force
Female seeds x line Fast Nevilles (this one sounds too good to be true!)Mandala Hashberry, Mandala #1 Purps
Nirvana Bubblegum,white Rhino
Dinafem seeds Cheese
Dinafem Critical
SOL Blue Sattelite

a few rare outdoor genes to possibly prepare some clones for Outdoor this year (my preferred way to grow)
Guerrila Gold #3, BC Coastal Haze, C99xGG, Mighty Mite


I didnt ever plan on doing an indoor again as I didnt need to. During the economy ive lost almost everything and desperation (along with love of growing) has brought me to the doorstep again. Ive been building myself up again but am always concerned about eveything. I live in a downtown neighborhood in a large city but I dont have many people over. I have my own house (we will see how long)I do have 1 friend who I need his help with electrical aspects and troubleshooting with so not to overload things , start a fire etc. ordering my carbon scrubbers as we speak.

Im nervous to go to grow stores so when I did I parked 5 blocks away and take werid routes home just in case :) My friend has a big mouth and im just scared hes going to be drunk 1 night tell the wrong person next thing you know im broken into. He already knows my plans so that has made me nervous. Its just been a long time and I get paranoid about everything. Once you start there is no going back more or less. I even got annoyed at 1 light I orderd from ebay. Its a big company and those idiots send it in the regular box so people even know what it is (post office etc). LOL put it in another unmarked box idiots, they should know better than that after 5000 transactions :dunno::dunno:!! Anyway, what are some ways you guys deal with the STRESS of the project?? If I lived inthe but middle of nowhere it would bother me half as much. I wont be having anyone over but its the little things that constantly worry me. Im excited and nervous so I want to go to the gym to releave stress, do some cardio etc...

I make sure to eliminate the threat before it threatens me and my motives.

personally i'd tell the only guy who knows that you know he is the only guy who knows and will be the first one to visit with after any funky shit going down...but that is all after the fact, yeah?:spanky:
 
I actually quite smoking bud, been 4 weeks as of 2morrow. Jogging every morning as well.

Best thing though that gets me by........... Thinking about the outdoor season, it's right around the corner my man.



DITCH THE FRIEND! Seriously. Tell 'em anything, I made the mistake of letting another person know my indoor plans, talked to him about it a lot in depth as he is a fellow grower & has done the indoor thing hardcore for years. Then i realized, fuck that, only person knowing about my grow is the dog! I simply told him a few weeks into it that it turned out my neighbor was a cop & everythings for sale, I even put a bogus ad up on CL with all my equipment knowing he'd see it.

You need his help for electrical? No you don't, not at all. Is he a licensed electrician? If he's not than he's probably going to muck it up anyways. Get your ass to home de' pot & buy a wiring book for $25, any questions after that post it up here there's tons of knowledge in this place. Hell there's even a thread with ideas of what to tell a licensed electrician what you want to do, you think it's going to cost you less money in the end? Doubt it, you're buddy is going to want a cut.

Good luck with the grow, remember next years outdoor is right around the corner ;)
 
Loose lips sink ships. Loose lips sink ships.Loose lips sink ships.Loose lips sink ships.Loose lips sink ships.Loose lips sink ships.Loose lips sink ships.

Your buddy will get drunk & tell somebody about how he wired in a growroom, people love to feel important.

Electricity isn't rocket science,but CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS.With some research,a good book and using the search here,you can figure it out.I have been wiring shit for years,part of the job(when I had one).Point is,lose this person quickly.If you have any questions PM me.

Thanks for the words guys! Ive already thought to tell him it isnt happening etc. I am going to test my circuits and see if the breakers can handle it before I sprout. In college during my early 20's I had the invicible attitude and didnt get nearly as paranoid. Hitting my mid 30's its changed. Havent done outdoor in forever and if I do again im treking up to the UP Northern Michigan with some ultra short strains. The drive sucks but theres NOTHING up there. Would be nice to do outdoor in a convenient place but it is what it is, thats my passion and I if I have to drive 12 hours Ill have to.....

Are you growing just for personal? If you are it should just be about plugging in your light, scrubber w fan and your set... I dont see why you need an electrician.. Dont talk about it with your friend anymore unless he brings it up, then you can act like your bummed that you cant grow at your place so he can forget about it.. After that just let the dog know and get your grow on.. Good Luck and dont forget, TELL NOONE!!! peace n pufs..
