Sweet...its always the small things that matter.

Our little lives get complicated
It's a simple thing
Simple as a flower
And that's a complicated thing

My biker was male, and I dropped him on top of my PV So fucking sad, pretty sure the Purple Voodoo was my female too, there was no saving her.

She was about to hit flower too Argh, I made my veg space bigger and it's turned out it's still not big enough.

you could have done an emergency clone of her. Shit i have seen grafting work also to save a strain.

Dr Dr Dr I love your style bro. I would love to have more space. But i would have to quit my job then lmao. wouldnt have time for both. Thank God i dont work in winter. Oh and did i see a huge toolbox of seeds??? WOW bro i like allot.

Thanks dc and yea i dont have alot of spare time. I have something to do in there every night, but i am not working 10 hour days any more. My days are 6:00 6:30- 12:00 1:00 so not much sleep ether.

I might have 2 weeks of work left. then its full time garden. So my brother says to me last night hey you better have a generator on standby this winter i have a feeling. I will dig out my 4000 watt honda and have it on standby with 5 gallons of gas( that will run at 3000 watts for almost 4 days with a full tank and 5 gallons. I hope i dont need it but I always listen to warnings from him, he is usually right.

I need to get a geny my self. we have had two good hurricane sessions, and you never know if next year will be a bad one

I've been feeling the same way for a couple months now. A simple power outage would totally fuck me if it lasted for more then a day or 2. Especially if its super cold out and my heaters aren't working either. I really want one of the Generac whole house generators. They run off natural gas and instantly come on to power your house if there is an outage. Sadly i don't have 5k to toss at one .

Same here, but damn them things are nice. I would be happy with a 5k honda.

the Honda costs almost as much as the Generac.

Yea but a 5000 or 6000 watt honda is workable for the grow and frig. That is all i need and in the $2500 range.

Okay i have a 4000 watt honda or so. My dad is down the road he has a commercial 8500 watt generator brand new never used yet and a 7500 watt diesel generator that can hook right into the house power and has instant on. I got options and i have 20 gallons of diesel 10 miles away at our shop. I can move the honda myself but the other 2 are huge. I wont be without power to long if God is willing.

You can buy a 7000 w from Harbor Freight for $599


cof

yes and in a pinch that is a great buy. even if it lasts 2 years who cares its cheap and will run most houses with gardens. Or at leaset the furnace/fridge and grow room. I have mine planned to run those and tv/computers/directv also.

Not bad cof. Exstrema is not far off, and the ubur did will after the bugs were gone.

Hmm 599 I might be able to swing. Does that hook into the house, or just run cords to it?

If it has a 220 plug you make you a jumper and hook it up to the braker box.

the honda is expensive because they are much quieter than the generac. quiet is good if you plan the run it at night. I have a 15000w portable generac, and it is loud.

The key is to get one sized for what you need along with a big enough gas tank to run long enough without needing a refill at the wrong time.

My 15k running in the winter with minimal electrical draw and no grow running will burn up about 22 gallons in a 24 hour time. Thankfully it has a 16 gallon tank.

I need to get a smaller generator for the winter months just to use less gas.
