Spending all evening doing research, Adrian scaled almost the entire internet,looking for any information that could help him in his production of cannabis.
Indoor grow rooms where more expensive than their outdoor partners. But it also depends on several factors.
Lighting, temperature, soil nutrients and humidity.
All these factors could be controlled in an indoor space. Thereby boosting better yields and shorter periods of time in cultivating. As you have absolute power over your plants. And can decide when they can flower.Although, it gives more benefits, it could also be tasking on the funds.
Adrian choose to pursue the much cheaper alternatives. He could gradually increase the quality of his equipments later, when he had the funds. but for now, he had to be cheap.
Adrian realized that he had to order some things. Going over to the 'Wish website', Adrian proceded to order the equipments.
A heater for temperature control, four sets of LED grow lights for lighting, and some soil nutrients as he aimed to make his own super soil.
Before his was done, it was already late in the evening and his orders would arrive the next day. So Adrian proceded to surf the internet some more. Mainly focusing on news about the gangs and their activities.
He also ordered some books from the website as he hoped to capitalize on a certain part of the world when it was time.
Going back to the living room Adrian saw the twins playing with some toys and when Cindy spotted him she ran into his arms then said with an annoyed voice.
"Big brother you've been in there for some time now. What were you doing?"
Adrian was taken aback by his sister's suspicious tone but he ignored it. Picking her up he answered.
"I was researching, my little candy. I hope you're not too hungry"
Cindy expression was still suspicious but she let it go when she heard his last words.
Emphasis on 'hungry' and her stomach could not help but grumble as if saying ' oh, you only just noticed me now. thanks'
*CHUCKLE*
Adrian could not help but let out a small laugh at his sister's behavior. But before he could continue, all the breath in his lungs where sucked away and he could not help but choke on his spit because off her following statement.
"Oh!!, you were masturbating. I get it. Statistical, boys your age tend to indulge themselves in acts of self pleasure. For some, it is due to their inability to talk to the opposite gender or their regard of themselves in low self-esteem and-"
"I think that's enough Cindy"
A pale faced Adrian could not help but interrupt as he teared up a bit at the pressure that was quickly becoming too much. He could not help but feel that the air was a bit too dry in the house.
*HAHAHA*
The normally quiet Sebastian could not help but laugh at his brother's plight at the hands of his twin.
Adrian, with extreme caution dropped the little mint on the couch and ran with incredible speed that made sonic look like a sloth in comparison, to the kitchen.
Getting to the kitchen, he sighed, and could not help but feel a shiver crawling up his spine as he pitied his sister's 'opponents' in the future as he planned to send them to school. Even though they were as smart as a high school kid.
Adrian proceded in preparing dinner for his family. And when they finished, they all retired to their resting places. Each with their own Ideas. Adrian kissed goodnight to the twins and retired to his room. Falling asleep almost immediately.
***************************************
On the Morrow, After waking up and performing his morning dues and also, making breakfast for his family.
Adrian sat at the a of the table and gazing at his siblings he said
"From tomorrow, both of you would join me for some training. I just recently join a dojo and I will do my best to teach you from what I've learnt"
Pierce nodded but Vivian was a little suspicious. Her brother had never learnt martial arts and now he wants to teach them after only joining for a day hmm suspicious indeed. But she let it go as she trusted her brother. He was an enigma in her eyes always being mysterious and stuff.
He always had this hidden coldness in his eyes like nothing could ever stop him not even death. It was like those pale grey eyes had see death. But she could not explain it so she let it go and also nodded her head.
Adrian knew his siblings would suspect him, but he also trusted in them to be patient. He could see the glint of intelligence in vivian's eyes a triat that seem to run through their family.
Immediately after breakfast, Adrian returned to the basement in preparation for his orders coming.
One of the most important factors of the indoor grow room was the ability of the room to not all the escape of light. The walls needed to be reflective in order to reflect any stray photons back to the plants.
Adrian did not have the money for reflective wall but he would still try something. Using an old duct tape, he covered those spots that light might escape in. Sometimes using leftover planks of wood for the larger cracks.
But then a problem arose as Adrian did not know how to set up the electrical part of the work. Setting up the lights, heater and other things would be very hard a fifteen year old boy.
Adrian decided to call an electrician to help set up the equipment. Thankfully one lived just close by. A good friend of his foster father.
Just as he was about to go out, the door bell rang with Pierce answering it.
Opening the door you could see a young man in his mid twenties stand with a document in hand and a two big boxes by his side. He smiled seeing Pierce and the said to him.
"Are you Mr Adrian?"
"No mate am not. He's my brother. Let me call me"
Pierce replied and with a loud voice screamed
"ADRIAN the deliveries are hear"
Adrian's eyebrow twitched a bit at that uncivilized calling. But nonetheless answered
"I'll be right there"
Meeting the delivery guy Adrian apologized
"Am terribly sorry for my brother. And thank you for the delivery"
The delivery guy smiled and handed Adrian the document in his hand and the answered
"No problemo, you just have to sign here and all is done"
After signing the document, Adrian thanked him again before moving the boxes into the house. Carrying them to the basement.
Later, he moved towards the electricians house. Upon arrival Adrian knocked on the door. Then he waited.
Several minutes later, a man answered the call. It was a middle aged man with streaks of white hair streaming through his head. He had brown eyes and a lean figure.
Upon seeing the visitor, he could not help but feel a little sad for the boy in front of him.
He then said with a gruff voice that had a hint of nostalgia in it.
"Adrian, how are you, it been a long time kid"
The latter could not help but reminisce about the days with his foster father and his good friend John the electrician. They would each come over to each other's house taking turns. They would drown themselves in beers, gossiping on the latest man stuff. Like a new truck or a new bar in the area.
But now all these memories were quickly fading from Adrian's mind. So he shook his head and replied,
"Don't worry uncle John am fine. How's peaches?"
John stepped aside the door. An silent invitation for Adrian to come in. Which he obliged.
*BARK* *BARK*
Stepping into the humble abode Adrian was welcome by an unlikely host.
A german shepherd who ran with gusto towards the visitor. She was peaches. Wasting not even a second, she ran into his outstretched hands licking his face and arms.
Adrian could not help but chuckle at this interlude. Standing up from his squatted position, he turned to uncle John spoke
"Uncle John I have a job for you..... It's an electrical job"
John thought a bit then replied.
"Alright, let me get my toolbox"
Not long after, John came back with his toolbox. Then they proceded to Adrian's house.
Once back home, Adrian took uncle John to the basement and showed him the job. Wasting no time, John went to work. Installing the LED grow lights and the heater.
The grow lights were placed directly over the four vases filled with soil.
After the job, they returned to the living room.Where Adrian offered to pay uncle John but he refused the money. Adrian thanked him.
John said goodbye to Vivian, pierce and also, the twins.
Adrian watched John's back as he left. He knew that John knew what he was about to venture into still, he kept quiet and Adrian was grateful for that.
Time passed by. Adrian shared a peaceful evening with his siblings and when the night came, the all went to bed.
