It's just crazy that indoor gardening/hydroponic companies can make such amazing, state of art equipment but mess up and drop the ball on something as simple as a timer.
6200w grow. 14 different strains

I still use a lot of mechanical stuff for this very reason.

Right, good old fashioned mechanical timer is plenty accurate. I have had the digital ones glitch out, some have a reset button that will requeue the algorithm.
Good thing you were there to notice!

Ya if you it the reset button with a pen it seems to put thing back to normal, one thing I noticed and I don't have the directions around so don't know how this feature works but it was set to military time, no bullshit. I couldn't believe it, went down and the timer read 1900.

I'm definitely hitting those growing room pains after having flower room shut down for a few months.
Woke up at 330am to make sure everything is going good, and noticed a puddle on the floor. My condensate pump that drains excess water from mini split and dehu became just slightly unplugged, just enough to lose power to it-causing it to drip + pool up water on floor. Just got done wet vac'n the floor. Haha, it's almost comical- last thing you want to be doing at 330 in the morning though. O well, here on out it should be going good, knock on wood, I'll post updates each week.

Just wanted to see if the hydrofarm digi timer would work after a proper reset and run-thru of on/auto/off and nope, it failed. It's getting thrown in the trash. This thing is maybe a year old, but no way these should fail. Imagine if you were away for a few days to a week and counting on these timers to properly run your grow for watering, lights, co2, ect. Something this small could fuck up a lot of shit, ruin your whole grow and that's probably the least of the problems it could cause. Done! going back to mechanical timers, just giving you all a heads up...won't bring this up again, back to the journal.

If it’s that new you might, if not replace it under warranty, let them know what a pile it is. They might care. If it was my company I would want to know. I’m with you on this, I have had those kinds of failures and it’s really frustrating.

Ya I am planning on it, I'm going to keep a few males from thugs breath and black cherry pie. Only 5 thugs breath made it of of a 10pk, this is the only time I ever got shitty germ rates on pugs gear. They were listed as rare packs so they might have been old stock. I have never breeded before but will find another spot and flower out some males and females together + collect pollen for storage. I figured if I crossed out say 2 thug pug strains, I could get some funky/great results, right?

Look for a resinous male, second look for resemblance to the female you like. Avoid auto flowering traits and ones that flagpole as those ones have hemp degenerative tendency.

I scuffed all my breath cross if not i get shitty germ rate , as for chucking just mate your favorite mâle with your favorite female
Ive done that for year and never had a bad f2 batch

Look on the pollen chuckers thread for information , lots of helpful guys and some were there before even starting their seed cie

If you guys are down in the future, I'd send you some bean testers. I have a lot of genetics to hit. Would like to cross the dvg purple jellato with something from thug pug and also thug pug x thug pug (2 different strains though)

Got a new co2 meter last night. Good thing I did- I was getting off co2 readings latley + noticed my fans were drooping a bit. I feed near perfectly so knew it wasn't that. Popped a new autopilot co2 meter in my flower room and I was getting reading of 1700 to 1800 ppms at where I have my regulator dial set at. Luckily it was running for only a few days. Quickly got it fixed and plants seems happy.
I have to take more cuts tonite before plants are fully in bloom. Less than a quater of all the cuts I have taken have rooted but a few have died from what looks like stalk rot in the bubble cloner. I'm going to get my 25 site aerocloner and take more cuts tonite, maybe even take some soil cuts. Seed plants weren't really big enough to take 2 cuts and I was already taking so many cuts I thought fuck it and rolled the dice. I have to get cuts of the seed plants otherwise the seed plants genetics will be lost. Fucking hate having issues with cloners. I'm not going to throw them back into veg at this point, I have to much stuff going at the moment, so need to get more cuts and get all these cuts rooted!

Alright I'm about a week into flower now. 8 days exact. This is the other half of the room that didn't get to take pics of yet, its tough to move around and get good shot, real tight in there.. This half of the room is all the seed plants, all regs, flowered out in 2 gal plastic pots. Things having been going smooth now(knock on wood) after getting started and running into a few hiccups-
