There`s a thread here by I fukin forget who bout the biowave and all it`s glory and fantastic accomplishment on greenhouse food crops , and in the latter posts before it ended he`d found out some how or another that it was indeed another "snake oil" offering by hydro whore manufacturers once again , and He totally discredited said units and the thread died , and it`s maybe a month or so ago when I read it in passing.....now....

Evidently SOMETHIN was goin on if when turned off , leaf turgor returned , BUT if RH had been in the 70 percentile range from the get with the bigger plants , maybe the droop would never have occurred in the first place but X can be anything....

I for one am as open minded as the next guy for new discoveries and products that actually DO up bottomline returns , it`s just that once environment and proper watts per sq ft are dialed , I find it hard to believe any mechanical product could make such shit happen......but.....

Stranger shit has happened.....Ya`ll go find that thread in search , cuz dewd was praisin the unit bigtime as well as preachin if it didn`t work then why does Dutchtouch got em in all his rooms , but in the end he called bullshit and said why......

My oldtimer`s disease didn`t try and log it into memory with garbage in and garbage out for permanent storage after reading the last few posts , but dewd was/is knowledgeable and credible from what I read.....anyways....

Get backta work WT.....You`re getting there Bro......and it AIN`T from no fukin biowave.....bet on it.....

Peace.....Freds...........

I've recently been thinking of going legal... If I report my sales to the state and they tax me their % then I report to the IRS the money I've received due to my caregiving shouldnt I be able to pay taxes in one lump sum? I'm sure that I could establish an LLC and put myself into the tax system as an independent contractor but what would happen then? I have another full-time position where I already have benefits/retirement/taxes coming out - think i'll be able to slide under the radar? maybe file two tax returns instead of one?

Will federal agencies like the IRS come down on me for being a caregiver even though my state protects me under their laws? I have alternate routes I could take as far as paying myself but being straightforward and honest would make me the most happy. I don't mind paying taxes as long as I'm not in jail or being prosecuted and racking up court fees.

I've been following this thread for a while and I really appreciate the great conversation - definitely trumps any MMJ site on the web.

I would suggest you file for an LLC and file separate returns. You could file one return, but then if the gvmt decides to take a closer look at you, and they decide that you owe more, they can take everything you own. If you file for an LLC and pay yourself a salary, then they're limited to assets of the LLC... or at least it'll make it more difficult for them to take your house.

When filing your federal documents, you never put anything about marijuana on there. These people aren't watching you. The paper trail becomes important once you're under investigation. All the spending you keep off paper stays off paper, and there is no need to report that income. Cash is king. Let your legit check go into the bank, you're already paying taxes on that money. Spend your cash, and then report what you want to put in the bank. FYI paying your utilities with cash/money order isn't going to hide a thing when the police can get a warrant for those records and see how the bill was paid.

Paying taxes is socially responsible, and entitles you to credit... Something a lot of growers have trouble with. How many growers do you know that can take out a mortgage for a $200k house? You just have to be smart about it. Read the law and tax codes. Don't draw attention to yourself... Like buying things with large sums of cash and not having any tax records.

man i missed a lot, this thread is awesome! it's threads like this that make icmag.

but oh what do my eyes see there. plant pots directly on the hardwood floor? already staining it ? someone must have robbed your pond liner out from under those, lol, just kidding.

anyway thanks for sharing this journey.

That flipbox looks pretty rough, could have been done more safer, proper crimps for the terminal lugs, etc.

gotta love flooding.. lol main reason I like basement growing.

the reasons for basement growing.. stays cooler then entire house.. can still have people over and no1 knows a thing and cannot smell shit.. and if I flood or anything it will make 0 mess.. lol just drains out with the subpump.

i heard someone say once, mighta been PoopyTeaBags, that the jump from 2 lights to 10 lights is way harder than from 10 lights to 40 lights. and my experience has shown me that to be true.

I think that was Vagpuncher... Poopy only runs 8 lights. I haven't run more than 10kw, but I agree... Getting up to 10kw was a struggle. Now its a breeze.


naw i'll come clean. i sort of flooded the entire 2nd floor down through the garage etc and the hardwood in the hallway where it flooded bowed up like crazy, 4-5". so i said fuckit ima refloor this dudes house with brand new awesome hardwood.

Dude, you're only supposed to flood dilapidated houses... lol Bad memories... What's another $10k in rehab costs....
