Lost my job, going to try growing full time :}

Thinking of having harvest every 2 weeks, gone through 3 runs each better than the last.
Dealing with quality genetics this go, have a 600 & 400 HPS, considered buying a LED for a veg closet for my mother plants and clones until they're ready.
24k (Kosher x Tangie) multiple mother and clones, one in flower.
Any way of going about it that'll speed up the time.
Use to 5 gal buckets DWC,

Good luck....fuck the physics..

the one thing ive noticed with people who grow full time ( a few of my buddys) is that whe. an an issue happens they will never come to terms with scrapping all to start over since that is how they have to make money... an example would be spraying for mites in the 6th week .. "but its organic" or powder mildew happens " well ill blow it into wax and no one will know"

just keep quality ur number one if there are people really using it as medicine, quality should be number one... dnt get caught up in the well i need the money. i concider these people good people too but when it comes to keeping the bills paid or letting a little neemoil or azomax into ur product they always choose the money... please dnt be one of these people when ur in it for money the quality and in return patients are the ones who suffer

as for speeding up the process, i am not sure but time is sometimes one of thoes things

may sounr like im being a dick, im def not intending to be, i think it is awsome to make a living out of something u love and support that all the way, just dnt be like some of the assholes i know is all

Already stocked on neem oil, and quality is why im in it too, if i wont smoke it Im not letting it go. Im just trying to get my terp production to top level, my smell improved from first grow. invested in quality genetics. Thinking of some hydroguard

nice, ya im not 100 percent on any one thing, i just switched to the heavy 16 full line up from bionicare and can say smell wise, same strain it is much stinkier lol startn to reek outside the house n im not even venting out there... im interested too, im hesitant to use it but i k.ow there is something called terpinator thats supposed to be bomb ... never used it tho

I would say people I know who grow like this, still work as well. maybe its a antiquated precept from prohibition.

I like my job, but if I did full time operation this comes to mind.

i have herd that the terpinator will effect the wax if u make it, so i got a bunch of trim from a buddy and blew it side by side with mine same genetics, idk if it was exactly the terpinator or something else he did but the wax i made with mine was whiteish yellow and crubly, his was oily and dark .. both side.by side the same process and i was wondering why and i found someone with same story and he said it was the terpinator that caused that.. my buddy uses it and i dnt so i took his word for it that that was the reason why

don't quit your day job.

i wouldnt either, id atleast find a burner job so u can have a back up, one issue can wipe out the whole perpetual cycle and then ur three months with zero income, to get rid of my root aphids i tried everything and the basterd just grew imunities to it no joke it would knock em back and a month or so later theyd be back and the treatment wouldnt put a dent on em ... i had to start over with no soil at all in the house, do a mad clean and i still waited a week to be safe

plus having a job on paper will always be a good thing eapecialy if it all works out and u get money

I have a photography business on the side had it for a while now it provides enough income to be a primary job but i only do 30 min sessions or an hr at most at some clubs i work, doing what i can now to get started. those 3 runs left me w a decent chunk of change.

nice.noce.nice, ya.man thats where its at then u gotta little back up and ur doing what u want and for yourself, to answer ur question and not just say dnt do it lol the terpinator is what id try but if u got sme.good genetics man i wouldnt even worry its gna smell and taste great

I'm starting to grow full time. Keeping my job for now. Until I save up enough to support a career change.

I agree.

Sound advice, served short n sweet.

Keep a real job. Even if it's part time.
Get your grow OP going and running smoothly. Stack back cash from your OP.
A few things you should do.
Always have back ups of a lot of your equipment.
Have back up bulbs always. Always try to have 1 more extra new bulb. If not save your used ones. If one blows you'll have a replacement on hand. If it's an old bulb you'll at least be able to keep your light cycle going until you can get a new one.
Always ALWAYS have a back up timer. You'll thank yourself when your timer finally burns out. I've had 2 timers blow out. One was right smack in the middle of the dark cycle during flower. I walked in and light wasn't on, ballast wasn't running. I went oh shit right off the back. I thought the worst right off the bat and it must be the HPS. Pulled it down and out of the room. Slung a T5 rig over it. Plugged it in and nothing. That's when it hit me. Damn timer. It wasn't doing anything. It froze up in the middle of the dark cycle. Clicked it up so it was on the run position. Poof t5 kicks on. Swapped it out with the HPS and I'm kicking myself in the ass for panicking. I had about 45 minutes before I had to be at work. So I couldn't go out looking for one. The following day I ran to a semi local grow shop (they're not common here) As my luck goes they have absolutely no timers in stock. Just one of those random crappy events that happens. I had to drive out to the next place to grab one.

the timer thing sucks, its happend to me too, i had one that still worked but the wheel stopped spinning so it stayed on when it shouldnt of and after two weeks i was like damn wtf they shoulda pre flowered atleast .. yup timer haha got an extra two weeks of veg in and the things were to big(if theres a such thing )
