yes, perhaps my fear is a tad irrational.
No, no. You demonstrated good natural intuition by fearing you are to old for a electricians apprenticeship. The younger fellas will torment you once they find out your age.
You will face:
-snickering and laughter from the younger guys
-undue harassment and ridicule
-jokes about your sexuality
-your tools will be stolen
This type of shit happened to my............
JK. I remember a State Uni in my town had been featured in the paper. The story was about a 29yo soldier, now a student at Uni, who had served in Iraq. When he spoke of the visible age difference between him and the kids, he said that "yes, its noticable by himself and others". He was "easy to identify by his military issue backpack".
Do the electricians apprentiship if you can get in.
I understood, and can expand on everything that you spoke of about MJ.
About a blurb I read on Hightimes internet Magazine.
It spoke about how in Canada, the growers are demonstrating a grow-house technology theory. They seperate the plants from all the gear. The de-humidifiers, humidifiers, c02 generators, fans, air-conditioner units, heater units and light ballasts are all kept in a central location and away from the plants. They make duct-work to bring in all the critical environmental factors for the grow. It made mention that this tech design theory provides a better atmosphere for the plants when compared to other indoor grow ops. It explained that having a central
engine room makes it easier to access and maintain the equipment too.
What I would really like to do is install whole grow rooms for cannabis enthusiasts, with my main expertise being the electrical systems. Is this possible or something similar or do is it just a pipe dream? I still can't figure out what I want to do in life. I know my other interest is in horticulture... If I end up in another boring dead end job I'd probably opt for cutting my head off with a guillotine instead!
Take my advice, its healthy to have a passion. You expressed that your passion is Mj. And you want to work inside the medical marj industry. There
is going to be a market for technicians ie. a person with knowledge of and competent enough to provide a service to mj patients.
keep swinging
And stay the fuck away from illegal drug manufacturing etc etc.
You are young, have potential and should not ever feel that you have to fall into the hands of criminals to realize who you are.
heres a quick tutorial and a personal bubble bucket design
you need
-5 gal. bucket. preferably black. Paint the outside surface black to prevent light inside. $2.32 Walmart
-5 gal bucket lid $1 Walmart
-6 to 10 liter plastic plant pot that has a "lip" near the top $3.50 walmart
-at least a 100 gpm water pump $23.99 Lowes
-aquarium air pump $6.98 walmart
-air stone. It diffuses air from pump providing small bubbles to plant roots $2 walmart
-a sharp razor, sharpie marker $1.88, $.079
making it all work:
-Flip the plant pot upside down, trace a circle onto the bucket lid with the sharpie. Cut a circle w/ the knife on the bucket lid that is a little smaller than the actual plant pot. The plant pot needs to go into the hole, and the lip on plant pot will prevent it from falling in the bucket.
-Now drill 15 to 22 1/4 in. holes in the side and bottom of the plant pot.
-Put 2 holes into the bucket lid big enough to pass the cords of the air pump and water pump.
-The air pump stays outside the bucket. The included hose goes in the liquid inside the bucket providing oxygen to the plants roots.
-The water pump, if submersible, goes into the liquid inside the bucket circulating the nutrients in the liquid inside the bucket.
*You will need to choose a media like hydroton, coco coir, rockwool to place in the plant pot.
