  2. Update: Today is day 20 since the crew germ'd and went in cubes..not bad considering lo temps..my pwr bill might seem lo to some but its not if your income is limited..chk'd the outdr lites and thhey didn't come on when neighbor dwn stairs didn't lv his out dr security lite on so i guess they're on his bill....my security lite left on at nite will double as added light to extend vveg hrs once they get bigger and nite temps are warmer..the next step is once i get them to the size i want aprox 20'' inducing flwr by putting them in drkness 12 hrs a day..thats the tricky part...i can set up ugly cab as drk rm with only exhaust and intake fans on timer no lite..the PIA prt is you have to move the plnts twice a day in and out..thinkin i'm going to make ramp for frnt dr for my garden cart so i can quickly roll them in and out with minimum effort..the ones in the 13 gal jugs will get rolled into the utiliy cab nitely..gonna have to get busy building soil nxt two wks..if i want to be ready for third round of tp's..i'll use plnts  day 15 001.JPG the soil i brought with me for 2nd rnd of tp's..

  4. Hella good idea Dr.. It really gets bad when you have to lug 10's in and out. The leave it on the cart stage helps the situation a bunch. A ramp is a great plan!

  9. Your landlady was a dumbass then. She coulda kept it n at least made n effort to make it nicer for u to move in damn.

    Have a goodfriend in AZ that has 16 properties and half are section 8. I use to help him get the places ready for the next tenants. I can't believe the way some people live.

  10. Lndldy lives 175 mi away and doesn't wanna drive up here..the place was cleaned by a service that does move outs former tennant hired is my guess..carpets were cleaned and it wasn't ''trashy''..if you're a grwer you want a landlord who nvr comes around..takes their money and don't ask questions..i may see this lndlrd once a yr if that..i like that

  11. Update; Cover for the ac/heater arrived..fit snug enoough for friction fit for now..no drafts in living rm and it wasn't fridgid when i got up this morn..took cvr off ran heater for 10 mins turned it off and cvr'd it bk up..rest of day i'll only use small flr heater intermitently..hoping this will help keep the pwr bill on an even keel so 7 hrs led use will balance out in the long run..my small flr htr no longer will oscillate but wrks adequately..thinking its time for a nu one this time with remote cntrl relegate the old one to bed rm for those chilly morns..plnts are taking well to the temps in the bth rm during the nite..hopefully soon they'll be able to be left out all night under the security lite and remain in veg acheater cvr 002.JPG acheater cvr 001.JPG

  12. I'm with you on that Heavn. My grandma had properties too. She had a cabin in pine cove, idyllwild. The inside was entirely knotty pine, and the tenets painted it fucking black. They chopped down, that's right chopped with an axe, the basketball hoop, took the upright, made an upside down cross and put it by the mailbox, took the backboard and cut swords out of it and put them in the 4 corners of the living room. Crazy!

  15. Why they aren't on a timer and motion detector is odd. That would save tons of money yet still provide safety and light.
