Baby steps, mate! Baby steps...... Hmmm..... let's do some maths:

8 x $50 each (that's IF I pay for them - my mate can do them as freebies for me, but I'll reciprocate in kegs of beer) - $400

8 x $20 covers for each one - $160

Plumbing fittings to stack/daisy-chain them all together - Guess @ $150

Total - $700 (ish)

By comparison: https://www.bunnings.com.au/melro-8000l-poly-round-water-tank-merino_p0044281 That's JUST for the tank, no delivery fee, no site prep., no plumbing fittings.

No brainer, really......

Thats cheap at $50 each. usually $100 second hand for them. Lots get used for chemicals so that's always a worry not knowing what was prev in them.

if it werent for how much the postage was, i be getting this baby

this is the cheapest shipping f knows how you can charge 1k for shipping
Overpriced. Decent lights but man that is exxy for what it is.

This is far better. 2 of them is 900-960w, shipped from Oz, better diodes, cheaper and much more customisable.

Yeah. These ones I know have come from a facility that manufactures museli bars, so they're all food-grade. From a homebrewer mate.

Homebrewers are a pretty tight, Community-based group & help each-other out wherever possible. We'll freely share yeast cultures, hand-out cuttings of rare hop rhizomes, loan gear to each other etc...etc....

When @beernutz said he was after bulk IB seeds, I decided to dedicate one of the clones I got from @DustyDuke purely to seed production for him.

Old habits die hard....

Edit: I've seen a similar community spirit from a lot of folks here, which is one reason I like chatting here.

Intresting day knocked some cunt out at pub
They threatened me with police. time to pack up shop.
That’s why I don’t go to the pub well only the bistro with the fam. Last time I went with the boys after work, one of the boys sat down in front of someone’s few of the tv and it was on. Then people around town gossip about it, not worth the hassle.
Good luck mate you’ve had a shit run

Yeah I agree cutters gear is much better than that eBay crap. I won’t be buying anymore of his gear but, the customer service was dreadful

When you grow, everyone who knows has leverage over you. Either never tell anyone you know (my preferred option) or act as if anyone who knows will dob you in.

Best of luck, jzs. I hope it was worth it.
Yeah it’s hard. I hate going to the hydro shop if there is anyone there. Even had blokes come up and ask about my grow when I’ve been there. I’m always like it’s for a mate (what ever I’m buying). I’ve told one mate who grows as well, he’s shown me his setup it’s shit. I’m distancing my self from him, saying it’s hard to catch just busy with family and business. End it on a good note with him so to speak. he only thinks I have a 1x1m tent, he knows i lung the shit and he thinks that it just keeps me and the Mrs going.

The more I read here from the cognisenti, the more I realise how crappy my current Viparspectra lights actually are.

Maybe I should start actually selling my weed for some profit & churn it into better lights...?
Better lights are always a good investment. I wish work was more steady atm so I could drop some $$ on a highlights board

Is there a "Fuck You, you've obviously been around this thread longer than you've been a member & just want to create trouble" button I can push?
There’s always like 500+ guests on here spying more should join stop hiding in the shadows. I joined the first day I found this place a shit storm followed lol. I had never really been online in a forum. Lucky my years of been on job sites and the rugby field had prepared me for the “banter” if you will.

On a completely different note how hard is kombucha to brew this stuff is gold
