A couple weeks ago I financed a 2010 Ram 5.7l

I put 3k down on a truck that cost 8k. Truck came with 198.5k on dash... Not a super big deal I know what comes with old trucks and high mileage but the truck overall was mechanically sound for the most part. Point A to point B and can carry furniture plus get me through the winters.. not really big on all the bells and whistles honestly just needed a truck for truck things. Now the truck like I said sounds good but I'm wondering if what we have here is a disaster waiting to happen. Of course there is a mild manifold tick which honestly is mild not entirely bent on it, I mean wouldn't mind getting it fixed but ya know whatever. But after I got the truck I got a little slack about if the seller put a band aid on the lifter/cams possibility of bigger problems behind the scenes. According to the "know it all" buddy they could possibly have put thick oil or some sort of fluid in it to make it shut up.. I try to listen closely to the motor and honestly behind all the other noises it's making I can't distinguish yes or no... So that leaves me with a couple questions; say the cams/lifters are bad how could I tell now? I have no lights on the dash surprisingly to tell me otherwise. And if that is the case what is a responsible but not low-ball offer to take it the buddy's garage or the friend of a buddy's garage to get doctored up? Any advise on good dependable parts within reason of a budget?

Has anyone heard that colonizing and fruiting under the 70-76 degrees range takes longer but has healthier grow?? I read on Google that it helps fight contam off and actually makes your grow stronger? Has anyone done that before?

I'm momenta away from purchasing my first aio bag and LC but before I do this I want to think things thru. I want to walk into this with a plan.. so the first obstacle to hurdle would be where am I keeping it.. now me and a roommate split bills in a home that has a furnished basement. I took the basement for privacy. I have my own room off of the main part of the floor. There is also an unfurnished part of the basement off of the floor that is a laundry room. So I mean even tho there is living space on the floor it is also at the end of the day a basement.. you kind of got the humidity and idk how to describe it.. that "basement smell"... Now I know we are trying to avoid mold at all costs so I'm left to wonder if it even is a good idea to grow an aio bag in my basement. Does anyone have any experience growing aio in the basement???

What are y'alls opinions on correction pens and metal tips?? I just fell in love with my first correction pen and I don't know where to go next lol.

I'm about to try my first grow. I'm wondering what would be the ideal environment to avoid contamination. Where should I keep it ?

Should I order ultra fine, fine, medium, coarse, or whole bark? Also what do you guys think about Azteca Clay for retail??

What is a good cap to efficiently use my krink 750. They say it is higher pressure than normal high pressure cans
