Im very saddened to hear that sharki..thats alot of weight to carry on your soul...nobody deserves to live like that..i have 3 ballasts/bulbs u can have...1000 watt hps magnetic..not sure how i could get them 2 you tho, im a thousand miles away..or i could send u sum money to help replace them..take care my friend.

Well sharki, are you really sure the ballasts went bad???
I too have had the very same thing happen earlier this year..
Blew out the lamps on hot starts..
Lamps tried to Re light while still very hot..
Check to see if that silver coating at the bottom of the lamp body is still silver or is now hazy white..
The silver is a getter material that also lets you know if your lamp is still sealed or has lost its seal and gone up to air...

Keep in mind that your T lamps will work but won't be near as fast to produce..

I have been growing with a one K lamp for over a year..
I found that Nutrients are way more expensive than a lamp or ballast replacements...

Good luck and god bless ya.
Take care us yourself and Ray as you always have..
I can really relate.. As Mamma and me are back to living by ourselves and struggling too... Mandy and Rob have move out and now live in Arizona..

Hey there 19.5

I really appreciate the offer.
I am waiting to see if I get approved for SSI. before I make a decision on where I am gonna move for Medical Treatment.

If I get approved ,I will Either go to Bay Area, Sacramento or Denver.
So it makes no sense to send them till I know for sure I can use em.
I have a driver, that I gave my Van standing ready to move us.

Once I get to the Oncologist and know how far the Cancer has spread. I will know How much longer I will be able to Grow, or breath for that matter.
I been scaling back in preparation of Moving by Nov.- Dec.

I REALLY need to join a Co Op like WAMM, cause I could help in the Garden Grow when ever I am up to it, and if not I could do Activism, or something else to feel useful..

In less then 30 days, and I will know if I have been denied or not.
I have been saving my Pennies for some cheapo 400's if we gotta stay in Podunk Nevada,, and will gladly pay for shipping, and hopefully something fair for the Lights.. I will let ya know very soon, cause I so want em.

At this point, I could only support 1 or 2 1000s with power, as the 4 400s were stretching it for an Apt grow.

If Denied, we will probably be forced to move to Vegas, if we can scrape the Cash up, cause that Area has the Medical services we need, and low cost Senior Homes.
Who knows if I can grow there, or what size lights will work.
I been aching to try some LED'S.

I would love to do a Large Co Op grow where I live now.
My Landlord has no issues with it, and there is LOTS of indoor space available.
But since it is such a small town {2500ppl} I would have to be prepared to be Busted, Pay off, and also fight it out with the Local Jesus Freaks.
I had many people say they want to Learn how to Grow,and help with the Co Op since I moved here, since many folk here have Recs, but no one follows thru.
They all NO SHOW.
Free lessons, Free Meds, I just dont get it.
Most are Alcoholics,Meth Heads, or on Parole,a damn shame,so as much as I want to help, I cant do it all alone anymore.
Dude, as far as Cash goes, I really appreciate the offer.
Please, buy yourself a Couple Free Marc shirts for yourself, as I have not been able to Help him much, that would make my day.

I would move to any MMJ state, and Help in any Activism , Grow, Or Processing, on a Volunteer basis. Just ask me.
I just cant do it all anymore, which has been the Hardest Hit to Choke on.
I thank you, I thank you.

Tho, some Seed would be very helpful, at this point, if anyone has some to donate.

Hey Timmy

Me and Rae will come back. Just ask us.
I Been looking for a Partner, and was so disappointed we could not make it work the last time.
I cant think of a better Partner, cause we are so in the same F'D UP boat.
Problem is, we saved some abandoned and starved cats not long ago and now have that xtra Baggage to deal with.

The Ballasts? Yeah, I had my electrician buddy look at em, their Dead.
That's what ya get for buying cheapo's.
Well, 3 years wasn't bad for 100 bucks ea.
They sure Paid for themselves tho.
Now ya know why we moved here.
We pay 390 a mo for a big 2 Bedroom.
And it is so beautiful here, but ya have to be able to drive to enjoy living here.
No Walmart, or Mart of any kind, Food or TReeeeees.
We need ta get back ta civilization soon.

FBI interrogator: 9/11 could have been prevented

In an interview with Current TV’s liberal news host Keith Olbermann, former FBI interrogator Ali Soufan — who was pulled off terrorist interrogations by the Bush administration in the months before the CIA began torturing suspects — claimed the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001 could have been prevented if he’d been allowed to continue his work.

‘NRA’ draws louder cheers than ‘Christian values’ at Perry’s Liberty University event

“What a powerful message that we brought pastors together across the state of Texas, sharing with them the importance that they need to stand in the pulpit every day and defend the values, those Christian values,” Perry said. “America is going to be guided by some set of values. The question is going to be who’s values?”

These Folks are the worst kind of so called Christians..
Puritan Christian came here way before this Country was founded..
If you did not go with their program?? You ended up in the public stockades...

None of the Founding Fathers were atheists. Most of the Founders were Deists...

hey Sharki,
I to am in much worse condition and can barely grow and support myself anymore.. Rob is gone and its all me now..
Can't even lift a bag of Groceries let alone a water bucket..

Not growing at all this winter as last year was a real bitch to get any yields at all for the work..

Partnering up is out as its to much responsibility, work and just to stressful for my health..
I have helped a couple of friends set up their own grows that mimic what i do and they are now self sufficient and grow the most Potent Buds of what ever they grow..FACT

Prices here do not pay for the time, Power, and all the Nutrients costs anymore.. Patients are hard to come by as I have 3 Dispensaries within walking distance now.. Many more all the way to Ontario right close to where you where located...

Coming back to Cali would make it easier if you had the cash and did not grow, or plan well to find a place that would allow you to grow without hassles from Anyone..
Access is not an issue.. Money is..

I do wish the best for you and Rae..
And as always...FTM...

I can dig it.
In San Fran or Sac outdoor is 500 a qp or Less.
High grade Indoor 150-200 oz
Cheap enough ta put me at ease, so I can still grow as a hobby, but wont have to worry if I get too ill.
Tho, I REALLY need cheap Hash and Hash oil to treat the Cancer.
If ya had a room for a few mo, till I get SSI, That would help us out, and I would rather see you get the rent money then some landlord.
And besides not Growing large amounts, frees me up to be more active.
Hell, I could still yield enough between Oct 1 and Dec 1 , for us ta Medicate with till spring, since you say the hassle factor in your area has been nil.
We are all Legal Patients, so I am not worried about us creating a few beauties, I just need help once in a while.
I really did not mean partner, I meant friend ta chill with.
I am more interested in getting approved for SSI, and finding Rae and I, a comfortable place before I undergo any major treatment.
Also,Rae has a grandchild she has never met in LA.
I feel bad about that, and have to consider the fact she has family there, should the inevitable happen, and I croak.

I am willing to try anything at this point.
Right now I am trying to figure out why one of our 4 wk old Kittens is sick today.
if it aint one thing its another

All you Americans really make me wonder?? Your trillions of dollars in debt caused by gross neglect of your Gov't, but yet you get tax credits? Where is the good Goverment policies there?

Sadly people you have allowed your Govn't to spend your money foolishly and now you will have to pay for it in the form of taxes (or your kids,kids will pay) or blow up China!

To pay down your debt, taxes will have to be implimented in one form or another. Here in Canada we are taxed to death, food, clothes and all other commadities more than double your American prices. You need a wake up call and taxes will be that call.

USA, welcome to the 21st. century!
