We're shooting for some serious "blow up"...not blow out. The new A/C's have been delivered to the shop, the new power has been installed, and the ducting has been re-routed for sealed light cooling circuits. Today we install the indoor units, Sat we get the compressors onto the roof, and Sun the HVAC guy is coming to sweat up the joints, pull a vaccuum, and fully charge the system. Then it's all systems go!

I'm so exited I could just piss myself. I was hoping to be CO2 enriched within a year. Past experience has taught me to dial in a grow and new strains without CO2. I find it far easier to identify nute probs and ideal canopy shapes without CO2. Then, when we have the plants totally dialed in, we add the CO2.

If you start at the beginning of cg's thread you'll find he discusses starting up a collective.

Yeah I know but is that the only way to do it and i was just asking ? Dont really feel safe with the 99 plant thing from the doc would rather do the collective route i seen how he did it but i was wondering if the way i was thinking of doing it was ok?

I am not an attorney and feel uncomfortable advising you on matters that could impact your freedom and the freedom of others. You can meet with a cannabis attorney for about $300/hr. After an hr with my attorney I had a pretty good feel for what it takes to stay in compliance. You guys should all pitch in a few bucks and meet with an attorney that specializes in cannabis law.

Even with a 99 plants rec (which you all should have) you still need to keep your plant count reasonable. I know of one grower who had a visit by Ther Man. He had 40 plants under 4 lights. He was able to convince them it was for personal use ONLY because he followed the "dos" and "do nots". There are some guidlines you really need to be aware of prior to cultivating more than about 25 plants. Some of these are obvious: no other drugs, no cash, no growing anywhere near a school, etc...You also should keep very careful accounting records if you're doing the Collective thing.

Cg I read way back that you don't want to post pics from your phone because you can trace it. I was wondering if there was any way I could take it on my phone, and then upload it on the computer and be ok? I just flipped a couple days ago and I want to start a thread. Also I was wondering how many mls/L your using with the advanced coni during peak flower? It says on the bottle you can go up to like 20mls a gallon or something stupid, puts me at about 2100ppm lol. I ended up only using about 8/gallon. I read above about a "blowout", thought that was hilarious cause that's exactly what happened to run I just harvested. I wasn't able to get a mini split and the 85 degrees the last couple weeks didn't help. I did use co2 for the first time and it increased my yield about 40 percent. Too bad the temps LARF d a lot of it out haha. Sorry I'm hashed. Hope all is good, glad to hear you got a new AC!

You'd have to edit out the location and camera info from the digital file.

Most smartphones and many new digital cameras embed GPS data into the image header. Almost any photo editing program can remove this data. Here's a few of the free programs that will do this for you:

If you're on any flavor of *nix you don't need me :)

Hey CG, how's everything going with the new A/C system...I'm sure most of us can only imagine just how busy you must be with everything...Hope all is going well with out any issues man!!:)

We switched to sealed, enriched, and air conditioned 3 days ago. Holy shit! I'm so exited I could just explode. My daytime temps are now 79.5F - 79.7F. The inverter mini splits are able to slow down the compressor, rather than starting and stopping. This makes perfect temp control possible. The Sentinal CO2 Controller is keeping the level between 1000 and 1100ppm's. If I crank the A/C's I can drive the temp as low as around 75F with lights on! We have plenty of extra cooling power. My RH is hovering around 50%-60%. I'm adding a dehumidifier today. While those levels don't bother me, I would like to be able to lower it during the night a tad. The A/C's dehumidify a bunch...producing 10 gallons each of water every 24hrs.

The A/C's are Gree 2 ton units. They are 22 Seer!!!

I had plants at 1 week, 2 weeks, 4 weeks, and 5 weeks when we switched. Now we should be able to determine at what week the CO2 makes the biggest difference. Look out Commercial J...I'm nipping at your heels.

Your going to kick some ass! do you have a controller that keeps the temps lower during lights off? are you running one burner or two to get to 1100ppms? you said you were looking for a dehumidifier, There is a guy that has a warehouse of overstock stuff in rancho cucamonga area im not sure how close you are to that.. But i got a 90 pint for 120 bucks brand new. I know there alot more at home depot, hit me up if you want that guys number.
