Give me reasons to win my girlfriend over 1000w instead of 600w
- Thread starter newbie2006
- Start date
I do have to speak up on all these posts about the 1000w light the main reason to get it is eventually you will buy one anyways and when you do what are you gonna do with the 600w either use it for a veg light or put it in the garage I personally dont sell old grow equipment I feel its just to much heat.
But the other comments about wearing the pants I have to say when it came time to buy my grow room gear I told my wife this is the size of the room we will go to the store and buy what is suggested by the guy there for the space we have and she agreed that this was the way to go. When in doubt always take the battle to a venue where you can get expert opinions ( personally I went to the store first and told the guy what to say).

When you've got the skills to hit it properly, you don't have to ask for shit, you tell them what's up.

My girlfriends take on these replies was "Sounds like majority of the replies is full of male chauvinism or just blunt 'go and buy shit and don't ask anyone anything' with only a few replies that actually have either been answering/contributing to the original question or made us laugh."
Its been truly amusing that some of these answerers seem to think of me as some kind of a sub-species of man letting my g/f have a say in things. I have to note that personally I experience our relationship to be balanced.
I think the more I think of it, I am going for 600w as we would not want to invest (or build) any big ventilation systems. The 1000w probably would be too much in terms of heat in the summer - in the winter no prob, but summer would bring problems.
I really do appreciate all the replies made to this thread - at least the myriad of different approaches to this subject has made it clear to me that you never know what you might get when making a thread in ICmag.

So she polices all your internet activities huh?
Just how short is your leash?
You have to ask her for permission when you want to go out and play with your friends too?
"hey mom, i mean GF, can I go out and play now?"
Anyone seen the movie "Mad Max beyond thunder dome"?
With the dwarf that rode around on the back of the giant retard in a little basket giving orders.
That's how I picture things at newbie06's house
If I lean in close enough I can almost hear the whip cracking through the monitor

No, I just showed her the thread. No leash here, apparently you have a fetish for them as you are CONSTANTLY talking about them - Do you want one so bad huh...
I don't NEED to ask her for any permissions its just that I WANT to ask.
If I lean close enough I can hear a stupid, single redneck male chauvinist trying somehow to prove how powerful he is.
Wow man, you got us all scared now.
PS: Oh yeah I love when the whip hits my backside

Apparently you're really, really concerned about how my relationship works - a bit too concerned, I might say.
Thanks for taking this topic completely off the rails - I never actually wanted much of the actual opinions, I wanted a fight about male vs female in a relationship -conversation.

oh yeah...
i showed my ex my pride and joy (my garden). when i wanted out of the relationship, first thing she said is...
"i am gonna call the cops"
if she agrees to you gardening, then make sure you take pics of her with the plants... watering them, trimming and of course the money shot... weighing/bagging it. she might think twice before calling anyone.

My GF discovered my garden quite by accident. I built the room, wired it, insulated it, sheetrocked it, painted it, installed the new floor and fixtures, all within 20' of her bedroom.
It's pretty clever too, concealed behind a book case that's full of about 300 DVD's. The case is hinged on one side and locks with 4 electromagnetic bolts.
The power went out 1 day while I was at a Dr. appointment and the bolts released. I found her in there trying to fan fresh, cool air into the room and save my plants. Less than 1 week later she packed my ass into the Dr. and insisted that I get legal or get rid of the garden.
I got legal that day and have never felt better and more relaxed in my life. But that wasn't the worst of the situation; I had managed to conceal my garden for nearly 3 years with her and 2 teenagers living in the same house, hell the kids slept in rooms adjoining it and took DVD's and games from the door daily.
She understands my reasons for deceiving her and everybody else, but she also "knows" that I was able to do it and I know that bothers her.
Step out of the macho persona' briefly and set aside the ego's, (and those who aren't just kids playing house already know this is true), your wife or GF working with you in the garden is a hell of a lot more enjoyable than sneaking, lying and manipulating time and circumstances in order to create time to get the garden chores done secretly.
Ever since the first day I got legal my garden has became a focal point of our home. The garden is bigger, with more strains and more veggies, flowers and plants. My 16 yr old daughter bought a fountain for the veg room and my 14 yr old son has discovered that the garden is a peaceful serene place to do homework. In the mornings after the kids get off to school, we have our coffee in the garden and discuss our daily chores and issues.
At 9 o'clock am when the lights come on, she is almost always the first to open up the flower room, and one of us can usually be found cleaning and arranging or working in the garden.
The last month a lot of discussion has been about moving to a bigger home so we can have a bigger garden.
I wouldn't say that I "ask" before I make changes or upgrades but unless it's an emergency I do usually discuss things before spending money. I consider input and suggestions from all my immediate family and then decide on the course of action that works best for all of us and the garden. In the end after everything is discussed, I make the decision and it is final, but unless it is an emergency it is always discussed first.
I still recommend that you buy a 600w switchable kit that includes both the lights. You will never be sorry and you will probably continue using it until it dies. And you can upgrade better and cheaper in the future.
More importantly: It is also cheaper and will probably fit into your limited budget easier and keep your GF happy. And all the BS and joking aside, she is your partner, if you treat her like a maid and sperm bank, as suggested by many in this thread; we will probably be reading a thread in the near future about how your GF slaughtered your plants, broke all your lights, left you, and called 911.
I have been watching ever since this thread started for the 2 important questions that haven't been asked nor answered except vaguely: "What are the dimensions of your room"? and "What can you realistically afford"?
The answers to those will dictate the answer to your question by default. The rest is irrelevant and rather childish.

The title of this thread wasn't "which light should I get? 1000 or 600?"
It was "I want a 1000W light, but my boss won't let me get it"
That's how the relationship talk started.
I think everyone who has had more then one relationship knows that there is no such thing as a completely equal relationship, someone always has the upper hand, maybe not by a lot, but they still have it none the less.
What I see here are a few hen pecked husbands trying to show support for one another, and then the rest of us laughing at how pathetic they are.
My first 1K light that I got years ago was purchased for me by my GF at that time, I wasn't working just like the OP, but did I have to beg and seek permission from her?
No, I said which one I wanted, and she went and bought it for me.
Believe it or not, but that is the truth.
SO in closing I would like to say three words to the nancys here(you know who you are)
Wear the pants

y'see this is your first mistake, regarding a relationship as some kind of contest where you have to have the upper hand otherwise you are pussy whipped. nothing is that black and white. from my experience, the person who cares most about an issue will be allowed to make that decision or contribute the most to it. its about give and take, compromise.
you keep telling yourself that - i'm sure it makes you feel better
20 odd years ago when my wife was still my girlfriend, i was planning my first grow in a cupboard that had a door at one end, was 6 feet long, 2ft high and about 18" wide. i needed to paint the space white but me and my friends couldnt get in there. my girlfriend picked up the brush, crawled in and gave it 2 coats. thats when i knew she was a keeper

pants are underwear in the UK, we call them trousers.
