What did you accomplish today?

[GreatwhiteNorth]

Such good nutrients! Now must have more room (and more light) LOL

You my dear have the mindset of a commercial fisherman & would fit right in.

More Horsepower/More Hydraulics/More Prop/Bigger Net/Bigger Skiff . . . ad infinitum.

Finished the grow room today... and I thought I’d wrap it up in one weekend. I was having a hell of a time with small light leaks in the doors. I found these cool steam punk looking leavers to apply pressure on the doors, works awesome!

Please indulge me in a very slight critique.
The flexible vent line you have is robbing you of air flow. Consider a solid piece of duct to replace that as all those "wrinkles" really add up disrupting the laminar flow & my off the cuff guess is you could be losing upwards of 10% or so of efficiency in just that short run (not even taking into account what's on the other side of the wall.
Not criticism, helpful hint.

BTW, beautiful space you have there.

Even though I didn't flush the first "snacker" tomato of the garden, it tastes great! I need to get a # min, in the 70 days the package says. The manure smell in the air from the neighbors yard is adding extra N and traced elementals......should be good to go's......what do you think?

Hey, I just ate my first Cherry (!) yesterday too. Found a variety a few years ago "Sweet Million" which IMO was better than the "100" and husky cherry varieties. Have an "Early Girl" almost ready.

 

[SSGrower]

thanks I was thinking about putting a door handle on them when I found the clamps. The bulkheads I have for the airlines are the wrong size I’ll have the correct ones next week



it’s 6.4 x 3 x 5.5 I grow scrog so I don’t need the headroom.

It helps you can stand upright in there too. LMFAO, no, no mam you don't need the headroom.

Alternatively make the piece as short as practical and stretch it out. Try to make smooth bends. You are right about the loss but if she has to use 2 elbows to fit the sraight run the benifit for the short run is probably a wash.

Nice! Sweet 100's are some of my favorites! I like to have a few out there just to snack on when in the yard. I still have lots of green tomatoes......any day now

Good video about basic physics.

with the lights running at full blast I’m hitting close to 80 degrees. I don’t think I ever got above 75 in the tent. I ordered a 16” wall fan that I’m going to mount just above the lights so it can cool them and provide circulation. I don’t think my 8” clip on fans are up to the job.

when I planned this all out, I forgot to take the ducting into consideration. One of the hangers is right in front of the exhaust port. So I have the flexi hose doing a dog leg around it. The new lights are pretty narrow, I suppose I could move the hangers so they’re vertical on that one light.

I need to move my toolbox out of my bloom for more room...

Got the wheels off of it, don't think my floor would support it rolling...

 

[raratt]

I was trying to figure out how I was going to support the raised floor in the grow room and my son looked at the surround I pulled from the kitchen ceiling and said why not use it. Sometimes I can't see the forest for the trees. I'll need to cut it down a bit and figure out how to attach end supports, but it will work great.

I was in the same situation just the other day. What's the new puppy I thought it might be a good thing to get my rooted clones off the floor.

I used two 29 gallon fish tanks and 4 floor tiles

I like fish ;D

I decided to save some money and try to make the air line ports myself. I had some aluminium strip left over from my lights. I drilled three holes that are just slightly smaller than the tubing, held together with four m3 screws. All eyeballed, nothing symmetrical or level but it works. I’m gonna put barbs on the end to connect the buckets

I wouldn't worry about a temp of 80.

Nice job

lol I would have killed for a playroom like this when I was little. I have almost a half foot of headroom when I’m barefoot

I missed my calling going into finance. Should have taken mechanical engineering. I really like building, designing and solving problems, but you don’t know any of that when you’re a kid.

how hot is too hot for you? I was reading an article that said higher heat is good under led

 

[DarkWeb]

Went for a ride on the quad to check on the raspberry patch I found.....not ready

Also realized my wrist is fucked up. I had a drill bit catch while drilling some 1/4" steel plate the other day.......it hurt, almost spun the drill around to my face. But just worked through it. The ride today made me know it's not ok yet early beer and meds

Quick emergency transplant.. Plant was in a 5 gallon fabric pot now it is in a 15 gallon poly I think. If this plant survives to harvest I'll be impressed. Started indoors mid March under led now she's gonna be under a true high power light source.
