im "legal" and in a legal state, but still, not trying to flaunt the tents in-front of the back slidy door, there's a blind up but would also like to black it out/seal it off a little more.
be cautious with blacking windows out. see my screenshot a page or two back from the police report for the raid that happened at my house last year, before i bought it. not one but three different officers noted blacked out windows. it's a signal to LEO. blinds are fine, curtains are fine. straight blackout or something that makes it look like nothing is happening inside is not.

apparently we're not allowed absolute privacy in our domiciles. i digress. get some blackout curtains for $15 and a $10 curtain rod. that'll suffice for now.

I saw that...that was fuckin horseshit that they put that in the report.

I expect nothing less from the oinkers

Curtains will be fine for now.

I am thinking about turning/"converting" half the living room into a "grow room" though.
 
you're renting with a kid. don't do that.
It wouldn't be any thing big, just to seal it up more and not grow in a tent, same canopy space basically

But you aren't wrong...

Definitely not a priority or a forefront idea.

Would be nice to add a wall or throw up a curtain or so

Otherwise just stay to the tents for now, till more space and the means.

i like that last line. nothing permanent in a rental, man. unless you find a single family home rental, and the landlord is cool with you doing some things. even then, it needs to be easily removable. Like camping, leave no trace.

Yup. Even if you're good with patching it so that it looks like nothing ever happened, I wonder what would happen if your landlord decided to do an inspection and gave you a 48hr heads up?

@tobh is right. I would wait until you get into your own home before you do anything that could be construed as permanent or semi-permanent. This way no one can demand to go in and see what you are doing. I know you want to do it for better environmental control but he's right. Keep it as portable as you can for now because if you have to tear it down quick it'll be a lot easier than having to demo a wall down and patch and paint before they get there to inspect.
 
I wanna see the yoga pics in there 😃..that would a took abit of effort tobh.there’s no way i could do it how my backs atm..its f$#ked..

First @tobh NO yoga pics please, unless GF. 🤣

Second I use this yellow exercise ball. Good as stool and on good days I can roll upside down on it.

if i could trust the lady to not fuck it up, i'd ask her to come do it. I've got some methocarbamol on the ready for when it's all finished up otherwise I won't be moving tomorrow. Damn lumbar and SI are proper angry already.
Feel for you man. On top of my disc pain I learned about sciatica a few years ago. She’s visited twice but trying to get back in the last week or two. Rather hammer my big toe.
 
I had to look that one up..my back just continually slips ,half the time doing nothing or just moving the wrong way..gotta book in to see a chiro to straighten out some bones.I just hate the ache which goes down to your ass cheeks and lower legs..

That might be sciatica. First time lasted a few months. Second days.

Nonstop pain pain like major cramps. Just not releasing. Sleeping in a hot tub of epsom salts.

Check with a doc on that before it gets worse. Simple exercise might fix it fast.

dang that's a good idea. being able to roll upside down on it would be useful.

gotta get the last 1/4 stripped today. procrastinating something fierce, though.

You-a-speakin a my language..

Sciatic is flaring up for me lately too. Wiped out on a scooter a week or so ago and bruised my ribs, couldnt sleep in my usual position.. next thing I know, back hurts again.

Gonna try and get a script for some flexoril tomorrow. Seems to be the only thing that loosens it up once it goes on me.

That sucks man. I won’t do pills. Any if I can avoid it.

I need to see the chiropractor again. But that means going to the doctor first.

Eyes, stomach, neck, back, butt, knees, sometimes feet, shit…

I figured it out. My warranty is up!😳

I hear ya. I don't do NSAID's if i can avoid it, but flexoril actually works for me. Sometimes only need 1 to relax the back and shit pops back into place and I'm pain free for months/years again.
Taking methocarbamol now and it's not doing shit.
I find it a shame that the drugs that work also have a tendency to be abused. When you have really serious pain from a trauma, an opiate is all that works. For my bad back, the odd benzo is the only thing I've found that gets me moving again.

I might ask about that one as I got to see him anyway. Thank you.

I hate how it hits you out of nowhere. Went shopping with my wife. Get out of the car. Bam. Walking around like I shit myself grocery shopping. 🤦

Totally. Sometimes mine goes out just reaching for the coffee pot or something stupid. Been walking like I'm holding back a massive poo for 3 days now. We all know the look.. slightly leaned forward, ass out, small shuffle steps.

If you have a thing for pills be careful with flexoril. It can also be very habit forming, the stuff is extremely pleasant feeling. Melt into the sofa type of thing.

Exactly. No warning. Not even exerting yourself.

The penguin walk. Know it too well now.

Thankfully no. Just saw to many friend and elderly when I was a kid. Read how most do nasty things to liver, kidneys and other lovely side effects.

I lose a leg in a motorcycle accident please pass the freakin pain killers. 🤣
Had a single mom growing up. Meds got saved until needed.

What I've found with methocarbamol is it takes some time to build up in your system before it starts doing shit. Then, when you take it, it just knocks you out. Definitely not the most effective drug.

Honeywell Turbo Force oscillator tickling the plants.

I used these Honeywell fans for a long time. The old pictures are terrible and unfortunately they are all gone now. I took the base off and hillbilly fabricated a piece of Aluminum Flat bar to hold them on all 4 corner tent poles to save space and so that they easily slid up and down the tent poles to adjust for the canopy height.

I think only 1 lasted longer that 2 years. the new ACI oscillating 6” clip fans come with a 3 year no questions asked warranty and have 10 speeds. They are a little pricey but in my opinion worth it.

Just my 2 centavos about tent fans.

i was using L brackets for fan mounts the past few years but with the cheapies i bought, they have pole clips that seem to be doing OK.

i don't think I'm gonna hit my target yield this run. I don't think I'm gonna hit what I hit last round even. Probably around 1.5lbs this go unless the plants decide to do something i can't anticipate. The flower set is just smaller, and a lot aren't in prime view of light. it is what it is. Should've known better than gunning for the field goal in a new environment, even if it's all the same equipment. The flower set just doesn't look like it's gonna produce with less than thumb width budsets. We'll see.

meant to say this earlier, but i was on mobile and replying on the phone is way too tedious.

dump whatever here, my guy. it's the troll cave. there's the NSFW adult thread, but I like to think this is an equally safe place. it'd be cool if the mods could mark this thread as unscrapable in the robots.txt and block it from non-members, but I'm not sure what that'd entail.

I bet a dollar to a donut you do better than my hopes and my dreams were for my my first run with same equipment going back into a new FANCY all problems solved remodeled room. DAMNIT!

If it was easy everyone would do it I guess! When i hit a home run I think I’m the best in the west! Unfortunately most MLB players as well as growers are badass if they hit over 300 or 3/10 for people that are not baseball fans.
As BAMA says persevere of perish!
another BAMAism is you need intestinal fortitude if you wanna grow!

It’s just a hobby right?

Peace

Build your intestinal fortitude guys😜

Obviously easier said than done! Ha

Honest to goodness, for the health of your back, do plank exercises and leg lifts.
A significant amount of back trouble is weak abdominal muscles. Once you're past the ab issues though, it's probably big meds to fix it! :(
Usually I'll have one or two stretches each year, about 7 - 10 days when I can hardly walk. Making my abs a priority over the past 3 years, I haven't had a single disabling back issue, but it does ache constantly (and probably always will), just not disabling pain now.

Just passed week 6. Still no PK boost as they're not moving as fast as anticipated. Lots of color shift, thinking due to the temps that I can't keep up enough. These damn nights getting into the 20s is taking it's toll on the electric bill.PXL_20231127_201022352.jpgPXL_20231127_201032913.jpgPXL_20231127_201038088.jpgPXL_20231127_201056410.jpg
