Other Side of the Fence...Where the Grass is Always Greener

Welcome to the thread ben.

Afternoon guys and gals.

Well I've been a little lazy after completing my last grow which was finished drying around Xmas day.

I still haven't started back up. Lol.


I just wanted to pop in though and show you my shelving that I have put in place in my walkway to house all of my nutes and potions etc.

This way the only thing that remains on the floor of my walkway is my water containers.


I have emptied my room, reglued any loose reflective film, added my RAM BUG BARRIERS to my intakes, installed my new RHINO PRO 150x600 carbon filter, removed any crap from the walkway etc.

Now I just need to disinfect my grow area and get going again.

I'll post some more pictures tonight after I'm all clean and switched on.

Here's some of the shelves.

Top shelf is things like
Pest control
PH adjustment solutions and tools.
Cleaning fluid
Some jarred bud.

2nd shelf is nutes.
Looks alot but its a few different freebie bottles and older bottles of nutes along with new bottles of nutes.

3rd shelf
Seeds
Starting cups
Jubilee clips
Garden wire
Screw drivers etc etc.

Fantastic job Jon. I like a clean floor too. Keeping everything elevated makes floor clean up a breeze.

Can't wait to see your next grow, always enjoyable.

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to jondamon again.

Greta thread! Here's two of mine around 20 days 12/12
Durga Mata and Widow Cindy x Mata

Muy bueno Twist. Good examples of what a plant should look like at 3 week flower. Welcome to the thread.

What kind of gear are you using for these girls?

I'm running 600 wt hps, and soil from an old pig farm. Only nutes are molasses once a week. The mata came from paradise seeds about 5 yrs ago. Widow Cindy from a friend and I crossed them and fell in love. Been growing it ever since.

^^^ Sweet.

That's pretty much how it will be.

A few pics here and there. But nothing solely dedicated to my own personal grow.

..mexibrick,6week veg,switched to 12/12 a week ago
..just can't stay away from the solo cups
..The two at the top are Cotton Candies,the other is a Power Skunk.The two cc i put in too hot of soil and they almost died.I transplanted both in better soil and they seem to be turning around.I knocked all the dirt off the roots as carefully as possible,misting with water and immediately tplanted.Hopefully they turn out to be monsters.I plan to keep one for a mother as long as possible.

Keep 'm green.peace

B166- Man, you got the mexi-seed dialed in, plants looking happy and green.

Yeah, a lot of strains can't handle the heavy nutes to early, if ever. Only problem with growing several new strains is you have to get to know the plant and what it likes vs. being on auto pilot for something you grow all the time. But you're right, catch it early, fix it, and they recover.

Laugh, lot of micro and nano breweries popping up over the last few years. Love the craft beer and like mj, you keep trying until find something you like. Still sourcing parts for my home brewery. My control panel to run the kettles and mash tun is $1600 - that's just parts. Going slow because of the cost. Three 15 gallon brew kettles will cost me $1000.

Hey Bak, good to see ya man. Last set of pics were awesome. What kind of temps are you running in the grow cab and what's your intake temp. Just curious how you keep the heat under control with that many bulbs. You and B166 are the cfl gurus, thought I'd ask.

Funny you say that I just bought a 20ft coil of 3/8 copper tubing.I have the ss pot and ss dome lid.All I need is food grade sealant,a few copper connections and to figure out where what's gonna go where


Our sourcing budgets....yin/yang....lol...Are you opening a brewery?I would really like to see what you end up with how you set it up.

Yeah, I will post up a thread when I get into build mode.

Here is what it looks like completed and $6000 later.





I have the Guide Book purchased, just have to keep moving forward and making progress where I can.

I have a 400 sq ft climate controlled sun room to use as the brewery. Just going to take some time and planning.

Had to throw this up from dlftmeyers...

Thanks man.
I don't have temp issues, actually I usually prop the door open just a crack to keep temps up towards 80, and have my fan by the door blowing in.
Now, come Summer, that's going to be a diff. story, IDK what I'm gonna do then.
I guess I'll have to start running the A/C.
I should be putting up more pics tomorrow.
I just peeped the cola on the Berry #2, and I have a couple amber.
