Gastanker's 600+w Organic UV Grow

Gastanker said:

Love the info. I'm definitely thinking of doing it as more of a joke than anything else. The one we have is crappy plastic with only a tiny tiny amount of soil. I can't imagine a single plant being happy in it, definitely not 9 or whatever number of plants it's designed for. I think we're going to hang it in the sun room that only receives partial lighting as well. But as long as I have an extra 'junker' plant it might be fun.

I do have a couple really lanky not very supportive strains... Maybe they would fight gravity a bit less and just go with it. We shall see.

use a soda bottle with water in it to weigh it down, just tie it onto the main cola and add water to the bottle as needed (obviously it will need less weight when its younger/smaller)

Just gettin started readin this from the start. Lookin good so far man, keep it up.

Shitty day here. Been sick all week during midterms, something broke into the yard and killed 4 of my 5 chickens while I was taking a shower this morning, and then I got pulled over on the way home from picking up my last midterm which is seven pages of over my head genetics questions/calculations.

I'm sad and angry and ridiculously exhausted. All I want is to drink a pint of gin and blackout somewhere dark but this god damn fucking test needs to be completed so I can drive an hour back to campus to be ready for a weekend at the in-laws . Nothing against them, great people, just shitty shitty timing.

I'm waiting for the house to catch fire tonight... (knock on wood).

I can't believe something killed my chickens. I can't put the puppies in the yard anymore... they are 1/3 the size of my late favorite hen.

holy shit man thats total weak sauce. very sorry to hear that! wonder what the hell it was...

finals week is killer man. totally hear ya. you must be getting close though, keep it up! you can do it! someones gotta get edumacated enuff to learn us dum dums here on this interwebs! yunh dood!

At least I'm learning cool stuff. Today we started on how auxins effect gene expression (growth) which directly correlates to several of my hobbies.

I'm really wondering what got into the yard as well. My wife said they were all good when she left for work which means it got in and killed the four chickens, ate most of one, and took the other three with it within an hour period while making little to no noise. My big hen was loud as fuck when she wanted to be and I was about twenty feet from the open door for the entire time aside from my shower. And we have a fenced yard... I can't imagine a domestic cat being able to take down Mrs Scarlet and dogs make a ton of noise - not to mention my puppies would have been barking. Maybe it was the bobcat I was warned about - but would it really be able to eat half a chicken and drag three more away in that little amount of time?

It's weird. Makes my stomach sick thinking about it. I'm thinking tonight I might have to stay up and keep watch - were did I put that pellet gun? If I wasn't two blocks from the police station I would make it a date with the shotgun.

At least it was the chickens and not the puppies I guess.

**If I shoot and kill a neighbors dog for breaking into my yard and attacking my animals I'm in the clear right?

Definitely not the puppies. The big hen use to pick on them more than the opposite. They are tiny tiny - think of chiuaua puppies.

Walking around the block I swear I heard a lady talking about a dog and a bird. Wanted to confront her but I'm too riled up and didn't want to spark anything too nasty. I hate to hurt animals as well but in a sick sort of way I really hope it returns.

man that blows, its finals week for me as well so i know your pain there, sorry to hear about your chickens man that reallyt sucks. im pretty sure your gtg if the animal is threatining one of your animals but im not sure what CA laws are to be honest.

I'd confront the lady as nicely as possible, say you have security cameras for protection or something, and ask her if she knows anything, if she's normal like most, surely she won't be able to contain herself is he does know something, especially if she knows her dog jumped the fence or something, maybe a big cat....it seems odd though they took them away from the yard, more of a cat thing

just say you're asking round

It's just so weird. I can't imagine a dog eating the entire corpse of three whole hens on top of half of another. But neither can I imagine a cat killing and eating half a chicken out in the open and then killing three more and dragging them away one by one. I've searched everywhere and there are plenty of feathers but I can't find the remains of any of the other three birds. It's almost as if the neighbor caught their dog in the middle of it and hid or took the birds with them or something. idk, I've never had a large dog, maybe three entire chickens it just a snack.

On a lighter note, the PO was fairly friendly. Didn't even check my papers after I admitted to a trunk full of bud. Did however ask me what my medical condition was which imo is just kind of rude. Understandable but really none of his business.

that's a bit more of a snack, i would say you are correct. the owner caught them in the act, it maybe killed them most likely for cruel fun... and the owner most likely disposed of the evidence....check some bins out tonight or whoever may have buried...who knows, but they may be slack, and it may start stinking somewhere, bastards, sounds like an ass of a thing to happen.

wish i was legal.....i wouldn't be soo stressed over what i got

good chance whatever got into the yard scared the others off and managed to get one. they can fly...;east my parents chickens have no problem flying, they dont use it as transportation but when scared dam right.

just a thought.

looking great Gas!! wow huge growth from the last pics! wow, and looks like you got things under control, shweeeeet

lots of variety , good luck man, tried to rep+ and got bitch slapped
