@The Green Griffin thanks for the positive vibes man.
-the pairs were originally configured that way from my original setup (700ma over a 4x8 . I kept the pairs because it should be acceptable spacing once I install 2 more bars, and I figure the light mover will smooth out my uneven umol readings across the X axis. but I am going for perfect even photon blanket here, so adjustments may need to be made.
-my man at my local hydroshop hooked me up with that C.A.P. controller for $100 used. I figured its worth that alone for the fuzzy logic CO2 controller. Would I buy one new for 6-700bucks, hell to tha no. its old tech and there are a lot of annoying things about it. but it is functional and the internal components like the relays and connections are all analog and very solid.
-sleep is for the weak.
@Michael Huntherz thanks brother, but please explain your new avatar to me. lol
@thetr33man Im glad you mention that (and picked up on the 100-150 umol drop). Not having the grow area enclosed in reflective material is clearly a dramatic drop off. GG and others have preached this for years. But seeing it here reinforces it further. Something will need to be done about this, or ounces of product will disappear into thin air.
@Greengenes707 I like the new kicks analogy. I was thinking new car that needs to get scratched or keyed, lol. So now you are telling me my K-type sensors arent good enough! when does the spending stop! I have this awesome setup and I'm eating frozen pizzas and PBJs for dinner already! lol
I have some questions for you.
-At what density to you start thinking about carbon (CO2) as a limiting factor for photosynthesis?
-is a T-type thermocouple more precise? I thought it just had a wider range.
-got any photos or links to your IDEAL mod, i want to make sure I am measuring from the right spot. (for the video).
For anyone else who reads this and has seen my videos. You guys are all very positive and constructive with me, and I appreciate it. I realize that my genetics are far from the dankest available. Early on, before youtube, I was so focused on yield and GPW. Now, I realize as most growers and consumers of herb, that quantity really doesnt mean shit when the genetics are average.
I like my Tangie because of the terp profile and the taste, even though bag appeal is not great, and the plant is not the most photogenic, lol. (but ill keep growing it, b/c i like it)
-alien blues has been retired due to dismal yields and no colas, bad pheno i guess.
-I feel like my only dank strain is the Exotic Genetics: cherry cream pie. featured in my "night nugs video" (although I have seeds for their Gorilla grip and Pink v2).
any comments on the quality of my genetics are welcome, my feelings won't be hurt. to refresh your memory , check this out. its end of wk6 or 7, i forget. but at 1:16 is the CCP. its pretty much what I am moving towards growing, until I get better.... #oceangrown
