Lucky you!!! We have no power in our room since Monday evening. The ladies were scheduled for trimming this Thursday, but I'm looking to rent a generator and start trimming right away!!! Could have been a lot worse though. Didn't loose anything... Lol

Well, all things considered, if you're just two days away, get trimming! And yeah, we're both lucky...I'm watching NY1 coverage of Staten Island, and homes have simply disappeared and they're finding bodies...a father and his daughter, among others. So, so awful.

Thats so sad. I'm watching news 12 Brooklyn, and they're covering the 80 homes that burned down on breezy point... And at least one person was pinned and died under fallen trees... There were even pics of a large shark that was swimming on a flooded belt parkway!!! What a crazy storm... My prayers are with all those less fortunate families that lost so much... Good luck everyone..

what you do is set it all up on timers. of course You're gonna waste your co2 by emitting while your exhaust is going. You must set it to where you enrich right after you exhaust the stale air. Your ppm sensor will automatically detect the low levels of co2 and turn on your regulator for a couple of minutes until you reach your desired co2 percentage. You would probably enriching around 4 to 6 times a day and that's plenty. Pretty dam efficient once you got it hooked up right... I use to believe that it never made much of a difference. Until I tried it... It works excellent when you have an airtight enclosure. The vapor barrier is the way to go. Them Colas get so dam heavy, you'll need to tie them things up to keep them from falling over!!! Once I tried the co2, I knew I would never grow without it... Good luck

Been months since I've poked around here.

How are all my fellow NY'ers doing?

How did everyone fare with stupid storm sandy? My house was destroyed and I'm still currently rebuilding... To the point where I only got electricity back and have only just begun trying to live somewhat normally again... Hope everyone is doing ok.

She lives in Westchester, grows in Queens, but shops for grow equipment in Brooklyn? That seems pretty strange, as there are better and closer choices for her. Since there is only one "grow" shop in Brooklyn now, I'm guessing she went to the same one I go to. It seems the informant was someone she knew and not the shop. Either way, I'm glad I always pay cash.

really only 1? Funny I always thought there were a couple more besides the one off the belt. I know I've been taking my ass to the one in flushing way more selection IMO.

The only one I know about is Indoor Outdoor Gardener in Bay Ridge. There was one that opened and closed pretty fast in the Carroll Gardens area. Are there others? (Not counting regular garden centers.)

Now that I'm searching for it I can't find it. But if I remember right there was one in the mill basin area and 1 down metropolitan in green point or something. But indoor outdoor was always too much traffic the 1 in flushing is way quicker to get to.
