lol no. amoung other things, a whole heapa other things, i work with a lot of shellfish. some clients are just slightly intimidated by bone crushing claws larger than their fists, and i don't blame them, almost lost thumbs and fingers, so i stab the crap outta them till they don't present such a threat

well ur first purchase is gotta be a light, this is all opinion and others will differ but here goes. i'd aim for 4 plants and id do them full size(no lst although i'd maybe consider toppin), minimum light 400 hps and if u can afford to throw in a cpl of cfl at the sides,either paint ur walls white with emulsion or cover with mylar, revolve ur plants every day because ur space is 6' wide and ur light reflector probably wont spread that far. is smell gonna be an issue? if so u need a carbon filter to really stop it, anything else is just a stopgap and only partly masks the smell especially in late flower. coupl of cheap clip fans positioned at each end facing the middle and whaterver nutes,pots ph meter, water can, thermometer and soil u want, loadsa choices, i use biogrow and biobloom for my soil grows. try e bay for lots deals and remeber u dont really need a carbon filter for the vegging cycle.thers a few other things ur gaunna want but most can wait.

Ok so not 'nabis related but her indoors wants to go see Avatar tomorrow. Is it worth the 4 hours arse-ache or should i just distract her with a handbag catalogue or new pair of shoes?

 

[tip top toker]

i want to watch it myself, go do it man, run out for a bifta halfway through

 

[NovemberHotel]

LMAO - "bifta" haven't heard that in ages, fairplay man love it. Might be wishful thinking though, haven't had a toke in 11 months since my "man that can" went underground following a bit too much popo interest. Still 2 weeks into 12/12 on my AK's so March is gonna be a month of celebration, and inebriation!

 

[tip top toker]

i'll celebrate that with you. i threw all mine into flower on jan 3rd or so, so i'm looking at march 1st for new smoke. should be dried by then as well

 

[NovemberHotel]

Nice work, i went 12/12 on Dec 30, but i'm going for a 9/10 week flower, as i really want couch lock (need to come up with uk version of that saying) bud to send me to sleep before i have to deal with the cruel cruel world! Maybe dry for 1 week and cure for 2, although i've got a money bet going that i rip off some pop corn in like 5 weeks just so i can get buzzed off my tits and step outside with a cheeky growler and coffee like the days gone by. Miss that morning hoozen on a packed bowl, followed by a ciggie and a coffee, that's the way to kick your morning off! Gonna check your grow man back in a bit

 

[tip top toker]

i was looking at one of my UK cheese just a few hours earlier telling myself sure, it'll smoke just fine. DON'T DO IT TTT! haha, i've got to get mine out of the way pronto so 8/9 will do it for me, a smoke is a smoke, even if it's not quite the stone i was looking for in the meantime i'm smoking month old roaches. yummmmy!

just finnished watching some cannabis documentaries and it's making me sick, really sick. government officials shuld be shot at the steak for the way they lie about it and ignore anything and everything. it was the bit about them making fake THC pills as medicine, purely as it could be a patented medicine rather than natural. jsut wtf

 

[NovemberHotel]

It all sucks man, UK govt got the wrong idea about weed. If we knew then, what we know now, there's no way alcohol would ever be made legal yet people get sent to the big house for a few plants. Fuckin' bonkers (can't say that without the song banging around my head for 10 minutes) - bonkaz

 

[tip top toker]

all the current parties would have to do is tell me how they feel about weed, legal or ilegal, that's beside the point, for me to consider voting. i'm not fussed about most thinngs, but no party offers me something i'd vote for, so fuck them all we'll just take whoever is responisble to court proff nutt has recently stated that his new board will tell nothing but the absolute truth about drugs who wants to open a hydro and seed shop in the middle of shopping london? simply overwhelm them with opinion or their failure to control, and we can win

 

[NovemberHotel]

P.S. grow looks solid man, interested in the DWC action. People say you can tell the difference with organic vs not, but i say green is green. If it mashes your head it's gravy. I'm always a bit nervous about water and electrics though, even though it's a tried and tested method. i know i know, pussy! I have to say i think stoners are some of the most inventive people i've ever come across, we should all be running DARPA or whatever it's called

 

[NovemberHotel]

I heard that fella. The Liberals have at least got some idea, but the rest of their policy ideas are a bit flimsy. Kind of like they did a straw pole of 6th form colleges and wrote down the "best" ideas. Still whatever happens, i reckon Gordon Brown has had his day. Fuckin narks me that we've got a PM we didn't vote for, how is that democratic?

 

[tip top toker]

cheers man , it's a big plunge for me but fuck it i chose DWC over other methods purely because you don't have any electronics in contact with the water. only thing is the airpump which can be a meter away if i want. i've poured water over my powerstick inside the cab more than i'd like

and as you say, people say organic tasstes better etc, but these are the people discerning pine and pecan and strawberry from the smell, just smells of dank to me then i mix it with tobacco so it all tastes dirty haha

 

[NovemberHotel]

I'll keep a beady eye on your thread mate to see how it goes, i just like the notion of trying different methods / setups to find out what best fits my work / social schedule and gives results. Like you say, it's all dank and nasty, as long as it makes your mind bend and chills you out that's all that's required. I'm like most people here, in that i don't want to pay some track-suited spot monger on a mountain bike £20 for 1.8g of weed that's been sprayed with glass (or sugar if you're lucky) and contains 30% water, it's just not worth the risk>effort>money. I've got half an eye on 2fast2furious (ITV2) at the minute, can't belief that's the kind from American Gothic.......

 

[mr magoo]

thanks for the help dura. where can i get a carbon filter and how much are they..
what sort of power do the lights do?
whats the best place for seeds and what kind should i get ??

 

[tip top toker]

attitude or pick n mix seeds for your seeds, basementlightin, aquaculture-hydroponics or greenshorticulture for things like filters and anything else, and don't know what the relevance of the light question is, havn't been reading

and my dealer isn't on a BMX, he's taking all my money and is out buying fucking subaru WRC's and BWM Z3's etc, fucking cock!

 

[NovemberHotel]

I've used Basement lighting for lights, soil, nutes and Mylar - they're a good bunch of guys down there, they know what they're talkin about and were very discrete
