    Yep. That's what I did. In the drain holes of the doors and since I was already in the front doors to replace speakers(AGAIN), I hit just about the entire lower third of them. Honestly what I sprayed into the drain holes covered enough.

    I'm assuming. They came highly recommended. Which is why it's such a big disappointment.

    Okay guys, I know you’re out there. Whose still got anything outside?

    pulled my second and last one today. Got over 1 oz of really nice hash off the first one that just wasn’t coming well and I cut early.

    hoping for 1-2lbs off this second plant.

    indoor cycle going to start before the end of the week.

    Wow I just searched using google and all their threads are tanked here. I found a few posts on another forum. Yeesh. I was impressed with their work from my eyes, at least with the sliders. Sad to see. Seems like there might be more going on behind the scenes there.

    I uhh....I’m growing clover. Does that count? :rofl:

    I think with this weather the next few days, will be the end of me watering it. Let mother nature do it’s thing and hope for the best. I’ll do the front half of the front yard inn the spring. Didn’t make sense to do it now before a plow loads it down with snow banks loaded with salt.

    Cut most of the cherry tomatoes and moved them inside to ripen in bags...I still have swiss chard, peppery arugula, and some bell peppers...Looks good for no frost still for a week at least.

    our tomatoes have been neglected since the baby, wife just stopped paying attention to them and I don’t eat them sooo.....


    I wasn’t worried about the frost but I was worried I’d start seeing my buds rot so I brought everything in this morning before the rain this week.

    this must have been a near perfect growing season for your setup. Very dry summer that let you control the humidity.

    Their welds are very OK. The design is pretty solid. Not a fan of the new slider stand offs but I wouldn't ding them for that.

    It's strictly a quality and customer service thing that just sucks right now.

    I mean here was our order shipped together.

    Taco
    - ifs skid
    - mid skid
    - trans skid
    - sliders

    4R
    -ifs skid
    -mid skid
    -trans skid
    -sliders

    The only thing that fit for both of us is the sliders.
    I still need to drill some holes in some flat stock and weld some nuts to it to swap out the hardware they gave as the washers they supplied are already pulling through the bigger slots in the frame.

    I dunno. Not trying to slam the guys. But 5 weeks of dealing with them, 2 of 5 emails responded to, zero answering of the phone by the owner, and the only guy who was talking to me left the company and that's when things went radio silent from them.

    They had all the stuff they needed and they know they have issues. The plates are junk anyways. I'd like a refund but I know I'm not getting one. Just got hosed on about $800 worth of armor, $100 in paint and a hole weekend worth of time dicking around with them with the result of nothing.

    yes overall very good. It was my first year in a greenhouse and I have a few things I will do to improve it for next year. I have another louvre vent I didn’t install that I should have, there was one corner where air didn’t move well and that’s where I saw my only two tiny spots of mold. With a second one and a little better fan set up I am confident for next year.
    I also plan to dig it down 4-5 feet for extra height and better cooling on hot days. Below the frost line will keep the lower temps even all year and keep pushing the hot air out I’m hoping.

    I know @tacobell007 had a lot of good experiences with them too bad to see this.

    I would be infuriated by now, I think you’ve held it together pretty good :thumbsup:

    Yeah. I put it down for awhile because I had other stuff going on. But after they tried to pin this on me to find out other had these same issues as recently as August (I got my stuff late June), and then to be told that they knew about my issue and just didn't care kinda sucks.


    I mean as an adult what can you do when you get scammed? No sense in dwelling. That won't get me skids I can use or my money back.




    Happy Monday everyone

    Morning, people of the internet.
    Turns out I broke my finger Thursday night. I knew I'd dislocated it at the 3rd knuckle because I popped it back in after I crunched it. But since it popped right back in and I had full range of motion without a lot of discomfort I just kept working. But it kept getting more black and blue and was still swollen Saturday night, so yesterday AM I went to the urgent care center and had them x-ray it. Turns out it's a hairline fracture, no chipping, and it has already started to knit. So they didn't splint or tape it, and I don't have any restrictions other than to 'take it easy this week' (whatever that means).
    Already looking better, though.

    I’ve been considering a new skid plate and I like the white with red TRD lettering. But if they come with black and red lettering I think that would look cool. I was wondering if I can find them in OME. Thoughts?

    No video games won't be a problem :notsure:

    Drinking beer with it counts as icing, though, right?
