People talk. Make sure they keep their mouths' shut. It only takes one dumbass to bring you down.

Don't lie to him point blank just say, "It didn't work out." Tell him you don't want him out any cash so here is your 1/2 back. "Maybe we can try again later on at YOUR place." :S3:

so im basicly scareing myself for no reason eh? i was worried that the box might show a hot spot thru the roof but like i said, i guess im being paranoid.

THE GROW CONTINUES

First off when choppers do fly by's they are using infrared. I'm fairly experienced with these systems and know enough that cfls couldn't possibly put off enough heat to cause a concern to someone looking for substantial commercial outfits. For all they know you have a lizard tank or a some kinda of reptile terrarium.
Second do some research on the internet about your local laws on this topic. I don't know what region you live in but in my neck of the woods they penitalize that amount of usable product. Meaning if you don't have it dried and ready to smoke its just an illegal hobby that amounts to a swift smack on the wrist. Im super paranoid and little research put all my worries to ease.

Now about lst scrogs and topping. Now I'm an arborist and what my job taught me is that when you cut the top off a plant(tree flower or weed, a plant is a plant) it will literally change the chemistry of the plant. I don't know how and to what effect it cause weeds but I'm guessing very minimal. I know if you cut the top of a tree all the growth hormones get redirected to the bottom branches more cause of how the tree adsorbs the nutes. But I know that if you cut the bottom limbs off a tree you will notice a dramatic shape difference in which the tree will stretch and start to grow slimmer. I don't know how that would work with weeds but I do know a plant is a plant!
L.S.T. is probably the best thing you could do for your plants. This is my first grow also but as an arborist i kinda have a foot in the door and know the only way you could hurt your tree is by either mutilating or choking your stem. For choking i mean tying a string around it so tight it hinders the growth and could cause damage. Now mutilating the stem wont kill it per say but it could kill the damaged area on up.
One Tip: I tried to train my best girl over and just the weight of the top folded her right in half. I panicked all the way up to the point of " oh shit that's my best cola i will get, oh well i just want the seeds". And i left it like that and that was about a week ago. the stem is still kinked in half but the top isn't showing in signs of stress and in fact it turned over just like I hoped and all is looking swell. Now I keep a good eye on it and if it show any kind of stress then I think I will just cut it up into as many clones I can get.

wow, seriously, wow thank you guys, no matter what ive thrown at you so far youve been nothing but supportive and helped me out. honestly after those post i really have calmed down with the paranoia, the grow continues. my only worry is i have a long vacation coming up and no one will be able to water the plants, im thinking about getting a few of those little waer globes for the plants jsut to hold them over while im gone 8-9 days

Between this glorious site and you tube anything is possible... this link is a good idea and if you cut your drain holes bigger im sure your water will be wicked up by your potted dirt but i don't think it would be a good idea with root rot. A timer and and water pump would prolly be a better idea if you could rig up two timers so on if one of them only clicks a few hours. I think i just came up with next weekends project.

some sort of automatic drip system can easily be fabricated, im sure. Like a chinese water torture type thing.
