So have an electrician coming today to inspect the wires and to check if I can add another line to the shed with what breaker box I currently have.

But Hiller is doing a special $250 and you get 2 inspections a year of any type of service they offer. Renewal every year.

So the electrician came and well I’m just gonna remodel the entire house.
Gonna be gutting and rebuild how I want it. Electric problems gonna cost $8300.00 so is the reason for gutting.

Any case with this said gonna be a while before I get growing again.

Will pop on with updates.


Just a bit of what I got done so far.

Hey y’all not exactly what I was wanting to do but might have found a way to at least get 1 bucket and the 2x2x5ft tent going in a few weeks.

Will keep y’all updated.

Thanks for all the moral and mental support and everything else from y’all over the months.

Hopefully another week 2 at the most I can have tent up and buckets getting ready for the roots :laughing:.

@Bentstick , @Hugh85
Thinking about a mystery and Sugashine this time if I have the room to do 2 if not will do the pink Runtz auto to be able to get Sugashine in next. Gonna do a weekly rental while I work on the house. Currently looking at a place it’s $250 a week all utilities included “hehehehe” so should work out well. And who knows I may just keep the place to grow after the house is done. Lol

Yo bro good planning , i think you should stay where you are and use the money to fix it up instead of spending 250$ a week
Thats alot of materials you could buy weekly for 250$ . I dont know buddy but thats what I’d do. Its gonna suck a little but youll get through it and feel really rewarded . Just think about it bro. Ive been too busy to call and my phone was dead. Ill contact you tomorrow and see what’s up. The skys the limit bro and you got alot of good going for you, remember that

Dude I think you should buy a generator used or new and save your money! Dude 250$ a week is gonna drain you. Shoot you could buy a generator to run whatever you need. Too bad your not close to me anymore i gotta generator that could run your whole house. Go to Harbor Freight and get you a cheap generator to run your stuff and save the money to fix the house. Hope I’m makin sense

Slight change of plans on what I will be growing first, but am keeping the same grow style and size.

Will be doing the new community grow off beans first then the pink Runtz then SS.

I have set up the tent and lights, have stones and pebbles soaking now,

Here is how I decided to get more height in my small 2x2x5ft tent. She is now 2x2x7ft.



Drilled a small air tube hole in the bucket about 2 inches from the lid.

Edit: I’m sorry @SausageMahoney I thought I tagged you also.

I really wanted to put up my 4x4x7ft but I currently don’t have room for it as I am sleeping in the live room while working on the house. So I have a “Tent bottom cover” removable tray for both tents and thought a 5 gal bucket hole in the little one with a sturdy metal frame under it would work great to brace the tent while holding the weight of the lights. All the real weight is on the lunchbox I’ve set it up with 3 gallons of water in it and testing to be sure it will hold, so far the last couple hours it’s been sturdy as a rock.
