badbillybob Posted September 17, 2018 Author Share Posted September 17, 2018 thanks Dinafem Mark, im holding off putting up the aircooled lights because im getting my house valued shortly. like in the next fortnight. Im gonna have to just switch everything off and hope for the best. I will put the fans on to minimum, to hide the smell Im just gonna have to think up an excuse why they cant get into the garage, if they decide they want to measure it. On the plus side, my new filters arrived today, so at least it wont stink. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

badbillybob Posted September 18, 2018 Author Share Posted September 18, 2018 (edited) yeah, unfortunately it is to do with POCA. Im just gonna tell them what I want it valued at, and see what they say? (And break their legs if they don't value it at that ;o) heres a ;pic for Joiinthogger. now I know its not as avante gard or Bauhaus/ art deco as my last stand, but I was in a hurry. Ive tried to keep the spirit of the original ha ha. plants are having a mini growth spurt. you can see the difference the removal of the big fan leaves has made. I wouldn't recommend doing this unless its absolutely necessary to be honest, Super lemons first them mobys Edited September 18, 2018 by badbillybob 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

badbillybob Posted September 20, 2018 Author Share Posted September 20, 2018 (edited) the temps are too low lights off with the change in the weather and the heater wasn't working from the controller (possibly because heater is 2kw and controller max load is 2kw, who knows) .so I took the heater off the controller. I think the contacts may have stuck in the control module, because ithe heater stpped working so I pulled the cable and checked the fuse, which was ok.plugged it into the wall, not working. rather than fuck about with the controller, ive just shortened the heater plug lead and plugged it into a timer for the 4 hrs of lights off. its keeping it at 20 odd degrees lights off, which is much better than the 15 degrees we saw today. its all part of dialling in the room. ive reduced the idle speed of the fans too to help keep temps up lights on(so the aircooled shades were a waste of fukn money lol.) I might add another light , will see how it goes over the next few days. I was thinking about topping all the tops again, but im not gonna bother, as im flipping at the end of next week, so I have smoke for Christmas. ive also added a bit of welding wire to position the thermometer sensor for the controller at canopy height. its multi adjustable and works a treat. ill update some pics on sunday.

Dinafem-Mark Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 (edited) May I ask what is POCA I always thought that was Proceeds Of Crime Act? I don't this is correct as you are chatting about house's? All the best Mark.. Edited September 21, 2018 by Dinafem-Mark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badbillybob Posted September 21, 2018 Author Share Posted September 21, 2018 yes Mark this is about proceeds of crime act. Im currently getting squeezed thru the wringer for proceeds of crime, after being convicted of growing 14 plants.2 years ago. It looks like they want my house in return lol. I was charged with production, and they also tried to do me for possession with intent to supply, but accepted my not guilty on the possession with intent.(because they had zero evidence- because I wasn't selling anything). I got a 6 month suspended sentence for the growing...1st offence and all that. Was a good result, till they handed me the POCA statement of intent. the long and the short of it is that because they could see that I had assets , basically my house and a few motorbikes, they have decided to financially rape me thru the proceeds of crime act. they can do this because I was charged with production and possession with intent. Even if I was found not guilty of both offences they can still raise poca on you. Its absurd. Ive posted a thread in the legal advice section, but it makes grim reading. They have decided that my house which I bought 2 months before the financial crash, has somehow increased in value by 40 odd grand since 2011 to 2016 ( I live in Scotland, not London) so ive now got to prove it hasn't, hence the valuation, or they will just put the increase of 40K down as a "proceed of crime, and I will have to pay them that amount, plus the other 120 odd grand that they have deemed me to have benefitted from my supposed criminal lifestyle. its basically legalised extorsion, which I am fighting hard. You have to prove that you have paid for everything legitimately, which I did, with receipts , bank statements, credit card bills etc. Ive described it as a "guilty till proven innocent" type of scenario. its been going on for nearly a year, court every 4-8 weeks, no progress etc. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dinafem-Mark Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 @badbillybob So you got hit with the same as myself back in 2013. 12 plants which put me in category 3 if memory serves and then added the intent to supply over 1 picture I had sent my brother. It was some bubble hash I made asking if he wanted to come up for a smoke. That was the supply. Same as you 6 month suspended for 2 years which thankfully was over in 2016. Luckily no POCA just sentence and costs. Keep me posted in this mate Definitely being All the best Mark.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badbillybob Posted September 22, 2018 Author Share Posted September 22, 2018 hi, My lights off temps are sorted thans to the heater. they are sitting at 19/20 which is grand, but I am still having some lowish lights on temps 22-24, , total opposite of a few weeks ago, ive punted in another light. Ive decided to go vertical with it, and just move it about every couple of days. I kept thinking about how I was gonna do it, I didn't want the cable above the light , because the heat would get to it, so it had to be mounted somehow. While idle-ley thinking about it, I noticed my dusty old electric guitar, sitting on its stand , got to thinking a bit and hey presto, let me introduce you to Vert-o-stand Pretty cool eh? I wanted to keep off from flipping these, because I wanted another week of veg for the little critical XXLs, but it aint gonna happen. They are getting too big, Hers the small critical XXLs and the super lemon turds. they are little and large, but both of them are a shadow of a once great strain and they wont be in my garden again I reckon. And now the mobys, These on the other hand are looking great, lovely little bushes. I don't think I will get another week veg out of them, no chance, so I think I will hold off as long as I can, to let the criticals do a bit more growing, then flip. If they get ginormous, I can always transplant the lids into bubblers for a couple of them. I will use the vertical lamp on these, and turn the net pots every few days, to make sure it all gets some extra side light. I did a 26 ounce plant once, and it went so well because I had the lights vertical, building up all the side buds to monumental proportions. im hoping for something similar with these, but obviously smaller. I have also pulled a couple of bags woth of leaves off these, as its so dense. You wouldnt think so to look at it eh? Its gotplenty of heads, and im kinda glad I only topped it twice. Now then, plan is to flip some time next week and let them fly Cheers 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badbillybob Posted September 23, 2018 Author Share Posted September 23, 2018 Back again. I was a bit baked last night when I posted and forgot the root pornage. herew u go, first 2 are mobys, 3rd is lemon haze. I don't use any form of bennies in my totes, they are fine without them, and will colonise what they want to colonise themselves anyway imo. Not a believer. I know they work in soil buy hydro- im not convinced, personally. Whiter than Escobars cellar ..ha ha. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im planning to put it on for 10 Hrs during lights on. Im gonna alternate the verto stand between the 2 pairs of mobys I think. Im wanting them to smash it. See if I can push them a bit. Ive kinda lost interest in the not so super lemons, and the criticals will be fairly small, due to a lack of veg. Ive held off as much as possible, and am gonna flip tomorrow, I cant leave them any longer. Looking at the mobys I might have to put a couple of them in bubblers, we will see. Anyway they are still on 0.7EC 5.7 PH. im gonna leave the veg nutes in there for a week, and change out the res. The metal halides will stay for a week or two as well, to keep them down in stretch. Im glad ive got high ceilings I might need them ha ha. Todays pics Critical XXL lemon hazes. 2nd one got a bit of light burn as I was trying to keep the light a bit lower so shorty could catch up.....oh well.... And the moby dick purps. these look real indica dominant and I have a great feeling about them. im so glad I never topped them again, Now for the excitement to begin. 12-12 here we come If you look at the last pics, you can see how they have grown in just 3 days, incredible. that's why I love my RDWC mon the trees Edited September 26, 2018 by badbillybob 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
