How stupid are people, really?

 

I am just browsing photobucket for the attention whores, and I never fail to be blown away by these people's naivete. First, are these stupid bitches really dumb enough to believe these photos will not haunt them for the rest of their lives? I am not complaining, mind you. Second, and likely the biggest deal... it kills me that these people are posting pictures of big bags of buds, and even nice sized grow rooms.

 

Seriously?

 

When I was much younger I had a grow room. I was always paranoid about getting caught. I worried about everything from bringing in supplies, to heat signatures, to energy cost increases. Never in my wildest dreams did I ever contemplate taking pictures of a room that would have me put away for a long time... and it was fairly impressive for the 80s.These dumbasses are photographing felony possession, growth, and distribution and posting it on the internet, complete with traceable IPs for the police to follow.

 

A grow room, I'd like that. For personal use. 

 

Honestly, if I were to pick between a night out drinking and a smoking a joint in an evening, I'd definitely pick the second option.

need some help guys.  I know what I want to achieve but don't know If I want to go ole school analog or if there is a digital chip available.  We are having a gender reveal party the week before xmas and we are going to purchase some clear plastic ornaments and decorate the inside and put an LED inside to reveal the gender of the baby.  Does anyone know of a cheap source parts for LED's (raw) and either a digital timer, small battery holer/pack, ect.

I was good at it.

 

The biggest positive for me was the book "Indoor marijuana horticulture". At the time hydroponics was a fairly new method. I preferred soils, and found bat shit to be affordable, and odor free. Light timing is essential, and must be stringently followed. I hand watered and maintained the system, maintained soil PH, and talked to my plants every day... it is said that conversation promotes positive growth. I had to synchronize my maintenance with my lighting schedule which can be a PITA at times. I generally started with roughly 100 seedlings. Roughly 75% came up, roughly 1/2 of that sexed out as males. I let the strong females choke the weak plants out. On average I had a 20 plant yield, and it was potent. I had an extra room in the apartment and used the closet for growth. It was well aerated (intake and outlet fans were in use), the walls were covered with mirrors, and I built a surround for the door that was insulated. I used fluorescent lights to start seedlings, and metal halides for primary plant growth and high pressure sodiums for budding. My light systems were suspended with swingset chains so I could keep them as close to the plant as possible, and raise them as plant growth required.

 

But I am too old for it now. I prefer to drink, as it is legal.

FWIW I played with cloning and cross breeding as well. Cloning worked for one or 2 cycles, but started getting weak fast. Cross breeding yielded inconsistent results, and is really inefficient with downtime in the room for polination/seeding. Thanks to the fans I had no issues with pollinating, but after a couple tries I just threw it out the window.

No matter what your choice I'd be interested in adding some superfeet or custom insoles. I don't in all my shoes, but all the ones I am going to walk a lot in. Well worth the $50.I've NEVER seen an athletic shoe with good arch support. I don't mean in the store, I mean in real life. I can break those down in a couple good walks.

I know I'm late to the discussion on this, But, you never want arch support. In reality, all you NEED is a sole that is tough enough for the terrain you are walking on, no heel and room for your toes to spread out. Most of the time a slab of leather is all you need. Off road good thin rubber is good for added traction.

However, good luck finding shoes like that. Merrel Trail Floves fit the bill, Vibram Five Fingers and the Altra shoe lines looks good. For boots/ dress shoes good luck, bunch of hippies making weak stuff I would expect to last for a couple months.

 

 

I rarely find a reason to disagree with you, but as someone with horribly pronated feet I MUST have arch support. My feet are so flat that when I walk barefoot my ankles twist and hurt. It causes me to walk funny which creates pain in my hips and lower back. If I don't use arch support I get leg cramps as well. Another issue for me is the way my arch rolls over the inside of a shoe with no support. I used to go through a set of shoes every month at work... it wasn't from the sole collapsing, but from the inside of my arch rolling the leather over the arch of the sole and tearing the seams of the shoe. Yes, I was wearing wide shoes.

 

My wife used to laugh at how flat my feet were and how I walked when barefoot. Now she finds nothing comical about how awful my feet are.

 

For ages I used custom support. But about 5 years ago I found superfeet. Every shoe I own has superfeet in them.

 

In my case, with such extreme pronation, an arch support is essential. As far as those of you with even just decent arches, your situation may be different... but I will never personally know.

funny thing, when I don't have shoes with good support I end up walking on the outsides of my feet. I had a pair of DC shoes once (worst shoes ever) and couldn't stop walking on the outsides of my feet. It made my feet hurt, my knees hurt and even my hips at times. I need a good arch support or it just makes me walk funny and hurt quite a bit

 

 

Are you flat footed?

nope, I've got pretty good arches

Ha. That is FUNNY. We aren't talking about running or walking, but living. Minimalistic shoes are TERRIBLE for standing in. Find for developing muscles and such where you should need them, but for what we mostly do we aren't moving and on shitty surfaces. For that you better support your feet otherwise when you get older you won't be happy.

This is the only place where I agree somewhat. I did get a heel cup to help with the shorter leg and it makes standing way more comfortable, but I hate walking in it because it stops me from mid foot striking.

Holy smokes, that sounds like tedious work. Lots and lots of work.

I spent roughly an hour a day, but considerably more during the couple weeks at the beginning when I sprouted from seed.

[Adrian_D 520]

But still, it's an entire room which was built for that. Plus if I get caught, I'll spend a lot of time behind bars and it's not on my bucket list. 

[swift 501]

Mission accomplished, haha

1st pass

do you have the auto or manual trans? Great job though, i bet with more seat time you could do even better.

Auto,

With Drag radials I could launch alittle harder maybe but I am happy with that time, to cut any kinda 1.7 60ft on street tires is pretty good. There was another auto sedan running 12.2's. I could try to go back in negative DA weather but next up is some mods first.

From what I have seen, the people who have the lowest arches are the ones that never go barefoot. From how I understand it, if you walk barefoot (and mid-foot/forefoot strike) you work the many muscles and tendons in your feet which ends up strengthening and tightening them. I've actually heard of people who started going "barefoot" and ended up loosing 2 shoe sizes as their feet developed an arch. On the flip side of that, my boss was talking about how his feet had a growth spurt in his older age. Ironically, it happened around the time he switched to a desk job.

Of course, everyone is different and you have probably spent more time then I have been alive figuring out what works for you. So not saying that going barefoot would solve your problems, but at least it's food for thought.

Unrelated. I go barefoot, wear sandals, or leather dress skids. My feet are strong, still super flat.

Also Matt2, I am 6'0" 230lbs so probably only about 35lbs overweight for my body type

Interesting. I a 210 and about 20lbs overweight at 6'7"

[///M5 2,833]

Move to Seattle, you can grow whatever you want although availability is such that it isn't worth it. Flavor cycling is tough when its your own.

At 190 you would be death camp looking. At 250 I was at 34" waist.... I cannot imagine 210 at 6'2"
