Dude if u have a bunch of grow stuff for indoor already why quit?????
We all make mistakes and have bad things happening to us, but thats the chalenge in life....just dont take things 4 grated.....be strong be willing...anytime bro...Peace and Pot....................oh and Hash

I personally wouldnt have killed them...except my girlfriend does kinda own the house....and fixing the electric just costed me about 400...so....im not going to grow indoors any more...and if i did...maybe till they are big enough to fend for themselves outside...i dont give up....just down...NOT OUT...of plants...they are gone...made them into butter...anyways...i will hang in there and never give up...first grow gone bad....second one in the spring......

How many lights were you running?
20- 1000 watters? In a shack or something?
That sucks man.

tough luck, i hate to hear that happened to you, well maybe your "outdoor" wont be that bad......and you can enjoy some good smoke

i wouldent quit because of what has happened
i would call it a minor setback ,shit like this happens to the best of us !!!!
when you fall a few times you learn to pick yourself up and get on with life the best way that you can
and i know smoking weed helps you get on with it
sorry about what has happened to ya and i hope you get the courage to try growing again ,as that good old saying goes

WE ALL LEARN FROM OUR MISTAKES
cheers all :)

hey sticky, tuff break bro... it is always good to respect the wishes of the owner of the house.. I feel your pain... lol.. I have had similoar situations arise early in my career.. lol..

can you give us some insite into your electrical situation... I, like jdogg am interested in how and why your meter took a shit on you... what does a fried meter look like? did the power in the entire house go out, when the meter got fried?

ilove you

stinky ... you rock : )

ditto... throw some pictures up plz...

PEACE

well its like this guys...there is the wires running from the electric wires outside that run to the meter then the meter connects the wires from the outside...to the inside...the entire meter face was black and charcol like...and when the man pulled the meter...all the wires fell apart like a cartoon character that had just been burnt up....and for those that think its cuase i live in a shack...lol...no its an old house where the electric hadnt been updated so the wires there were the size of a pencil...and now they are the size of the base of my thumb..about the size of a 50 cent peice...i wish i could show ya a pic...maybe one day...but i hope you all have better luck than i did...and im down...not out...ill grow again...in the spring...OUTSIDEEEE...where i dont risk the possibility of blowing any of the house up...!!!! peace guys...

WOW... sticky.. thanks for the info..

did you take photos of the fried electrical meter?

: )

Sounds like the wrong gauge of wires had been used- or when the panel was updated, the electrician put on too many amps total for the size of the feeder line from the pole. That is if the box was ever updated- did you have fuses or breakers?

I too live in a wicked old house. There's still knob-and-tube circuits that I would never use for anything larger than a table lamp. But before growing I had an electrician run me a bunch of circuits on their own 20-amp breakers, one per 1000w lamp I eventually want to use.

I totally want to see pics of this scorched box.

I'm looking farward to spring when you can get back in the game with some outdoor maybe?

Best of luck!

stickyattic...man...i just want you to know...along with Zandor and Omega and Garden Knowm...I LOVE YOU GUYS>>>YOU ARE ALL THE BEST
