Cat-Like you've said, best fit for the place. If I did a cali grow here my neighbors would sh#t. Hard enough to hide my outside garden. Have gone at least part of gambit. Started in tubes-hydro, went to 5 gal double bucket constant flow hydro 12/side, ebb and flow tables (homemade) worked pretty good. Then used the 5 gal buckets with soil, just so hard to move through system!

Cloning cut time, and increased plant numbers possible without males. Then settling on one really lovable lady, made the one gallon-bunch of plants attractive. Took a while to get my dirt the way I wanted, but then was able to stop buying all the ferts! Now my only real cost is equipment replacement and electricity. But being in the same place so long does worry me sometimes.

kids now days.... whatcha gonna do?
Been trying to educate them since I left college, figured out was my calling and job.

Peace lady friend, hope life gets easier and yes do like the big girls!
