Plant Transportation..

[sheist]

Ok.. Aug20 I'm leaving for college.

by Aug20, these plants will already stink, which means I can't bring them in the car with me (parents are coming).

They'll need a secondary transportation, I was thinking about overnight FedEx to my school. Set the box up like a grow box, and have battery operated fluros to hold my plants over til I get them home to daddy.

I can do this because Aug 19 I can ship stuff from my job. Anybody got ideas?

Waiting til I get to college is NO longer an option, these plants are already growing. And theres no use crying over spilled milk, I have to look ahead for the paper towels. Sooo... anybody got ideas?

give em away..

no ship that..


hehehehehhe batteries.....

Battery operated floros wont work.

Under the best circumstances, ship them overnight and resume life as normal...as much as you can.

Odds are they wont survive the move.

You are fucked indeed.

4 weeks into growth, they can't survive an overnight? The fluros are to give them the best chance possibe. A Little light is better than no light.

ROFLMAO....

And what you gonna do when fed ex driver tosses them into the back of the truck like luggage.

I suppose you could pack them in stryofoam container like a cooler....and fill with those styrofoam peanust and wire screen down the soil to the pot so it doesnt fly out...

And hope they dont sit in a fed ex truck in 100F weather somewhere and get lucky with the whole thing....

But forget the lights.

Funny though

[sheist]

i was actually thinking of plastic wrap to keep the soil in, supported by somethin I guess using a screen would be helpful.. the plastic would help keep escaping water..

No, don't be rediculas. You can't ship a live plant, through a company, with a battery operated floro light in there. First off, shipping companies don't treat your package like a new born child. Even if you put a fragile sticker on there, they'll toss it around like a cheap hooker. The lights will break, the plants will get crushed, and what about heat buildup in a crammed, stuffed, cardboard box? You're going to have 2 humid plants, that will generate heat and moisture, with a battery and light? ZAP!! I once received a pack of 40 seeds from a friend that a had a big fragile sticker on it. The package had a size 12 boot print on it. Luckily it made it okay thanks to his good shipping method.

It will be very hard to keep a battery, lights, and 2 live plants, concealed, without getting busted. You get busted, you're fucked.

They are only 4 weeks old you say? Their is a good chance they won't even smell. A lot of strains have a very low plant odor during flowering. Yours is only what, 4 weeks in veg, or 4 weeks from seed? Either way, you can safely conceal 2 plants yourself in a well packed cardboard box, if it's just overnight, without any smell at all. You with your folks still, is that why all the worry? No biggy if you are, but I suggest moving them yourself or forgetting it all. You should have got these clones or whatever after you moved. Good luck!

4 weeks from seed..

you can't get a zap from 4AA's each light.. i can definitely weight it down and such..

Why don't you just completely seal off these boxes... spray the inside with fabreeze or something... if you completely seal opff the boxes you shouldn't be able to smell them... And they won't be smelling as bad as they would be if they were already budding.

[sheist]

cus.. we'll have to unload the boxes...

unless i set the darkness for the time i'm to be driving up there..

18/6..

5 hrs to ride.. an extra hr of darkness..

I can put it in a capsule of some kind, to protect it.. and put it with my gaming stuff..
I'll need to see a pic of a plant 4 weeks into growth after seed..
