whats wrong with this? i did the same thing with my first monotub....should i expect crappy results?

eatyualive said: mad, recently my pc has been a little finicky on the sweet spot. its either too high or too low. i have to constantly change the temp as it gets closer to the cycle time to complete. generally the temperature has to be adjusted near the end. it wasn't like this before. i don't know if my glass stove is just shit now or fading.
gas stoves always proved really solid for me. but then again, that could definitely be a problem. i find when i have to constantly adjust things and the temp is too high or low, it wastes alot more water.
Well come to think of it. I took the AC out of the windows, then we got hit with this mid 90's heat wave. Well I have a big ass blower fan blowing through my kitchen. That's probably part of my problem.

I confess, Fresh outa the joint I had nothing when i moved up here 15 years ago. Bought an amtrak ticket to the last USA terminal on the northbound line. Found labor ready the next day and went to work doing various shitty jobs and sleeping in the laundry mat, back of uhauls, vacant garages, ect. for a couple weeks until i could upgrade my digs to the sleaziest motel in town. Got a labor ready job doing construction clean up job at the navy base 1 hour away making $100 dollars a day, (They provided my transportation). That lasted a year in which time i was able to get a dinky room in an old building were i had to share a bathroom with various hookers, crack heads and the like. You know, just regular down and out type people. I remember i could lay in bed and reach my mini fridge and change the channels on the tv in my closet with my toes. Met a guy who showed me how to instal floors, all materials only doing carpet if there wasn't any hard surface(No money in carpet. Moved twice to bigger rooms in the same building. The whole time my network of people and professionals growing daily. Flash forward 7 years or so. Now for the last 6-7 years ive been living in a shitty mobile home park but i own the mobile home, have two old ass trucks, a sweet utility trailer i pieced together with recycled parts, 3 buildings/sheds of tools and small equipment, my own property maint type business with a waiting list for my services and a part time commercial construction remodel laborer job mainly for the paper trail i need where as my gigs are all cash money and the gov don't go for that. I must confess being a valued contributing member of my community is a way better feeling than any dope i have done. Besides steppin in to the matrix on 3.5 of the cyans of course but i save those times for just the right moment these days. Not to long ago i was a real peice of shit. By no means am i better than any one. I'm just proud i was able to put in the work to get were i am at today and not use and abuse anyone to get here! Respect from my heart to all my fellow Man. It's an Honor to know you.

Well said man. Keep on pluggin away, and anything can be accomplished. Might not seem like it along the long road it takes to get there, but is totally worth it in the end.
Mad respect my man

Myco Confession:
I was draining my mini mono, after harvesting the first flush (side pinned like crazy! using a liner on my 2nd one) and half of the cake broke off and fell into my loo. a good third of the cake came off.

@NC - respect Brother, stay the course that makes your life an inspiration!
I confess that this jar of Amazonian is all I have going really. I'm trying to fruit this jar for spores or a clone because I've never grown them before and this is all I have left after giving away my Amazonian syringe (after nocking up a couple of jars).

Wish me luck. If the fail I may ask a certain someone in this thread for a print if they are successful...
