Oh you're definitely doing something right man, trust me on that one. Yeah I bought a couple 300L Rspecs although I'm only burning one atm, as well as one of Hortilux's cadillac version of the CMH. I had to try one because of all the hype surrounding the benefits of UV in the spectrum. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't thinking of switching back to sodiums. Both LED and CMH seem to lack penetration in my opinion. Especially for canopies deeper than 12 inches.
My last place was dialed TF in but my new one has been a huge disappointment. That sucks because aside from the new lights, it's the most legit room I've ever built. You asked about Co2, I don't burn LP, I run 20lb tanks. I decided to stay with tanks because I'm in a warmer climate and didn't want my AC to fight heat produced by a burner. I will say this about burners, while I didn't go that route, I'd sure love the luxury of buying LP at the hardware store as opposed to driving an hour to my hydro shop that still exchanges tanks for $20. Companies like Airgas and Praxair are charging nearly $50 a tank around here. That's highway robbery. I love capitalism but I can't stand greed. Supply and demand I guess. Just won't be me buying it.
You're right though, for me its all about finding the right couple strains. When I moved I chickened out and tossed all 4 of my legacy keeper moms out the cab of the moving truck before I even got out of state. I couldn't chance some rogue LE agency seizing my life's possessions over a few plants. Ugh. It was a gut wrenching feeling watching the soil scatter behind the truck from the side view mirror. I think I'm gonna go cut my wrists now...lol.
Back to sowing seeds I guess because nothing I got going on now is working out... Per the description, Mikado was supposed to be a ringer, but it's not. My last hope for this grow is the Lifesaver. It was rushed this time around but you can see it has the structure Im after. Will it have the stone? Time will tell.
I'm nearly desperate enough to suck a dick for a legit cut...lol. NO, that's a joke. I ain't suckin' no dicks.

I read a few pages back you said you're probably too hard on yourself. I can relate to that. I don't care what anyone says. its good to aspire to something better.
