nice set up. Everything looks awesome. I like those pots. are they mesh fiber? how much do you think you'll yeild?

Thanks a lot, I appreciate it. Yea, the pots are kind of a mesh, very different than most other containers, they call themselves
"aeration containers" because there is so much air transpiration that when the roots grow near the container they prune
themselves and grow in different directions rather than unnaturally spiraling in conventional pots. My yields? I'm hoping for
roughly 2oz per plant, or 2 pounds.... give or take a half pound...

Very convenient, I just zip it up and away it goes, next summer i hope to seal up the intakes and out takes and do a completely sealed water cooled garden (WCG), but that'll take 2-3 harvests to get the money for. Until then I rely on cold air from outside to keep my garden temps in check. It works great, my High recorded temp over the past 3 weeks is 78.8F, best control I've ever had using intakes and exhausts. But with a WCG i'll be able to rest easy knowing temps are ALWAYS where they should be

 

[Shrubs First]

My one problem I have right now, is my intake and exhaust is controlled by my temperature/humidity control wizard. The good thing, when temps or humidity gets too high it kicks on my intake/exhaust. the bad thing is in my off cycle my humidity raises enough to kick on the intake/exhaust which brings in cold air.... yea it lowers the humidity but also the temp too much.. I just dont have the funds to correct this right now with a new environmental controller... Hmmm I NEED A DEHUMIDIFIER! haha, a nice one.

Thanks, I'm definitely happy with all the clones, yours are just takin my feeding schedule better than Ryan's.. All of your clones are like 2-3 inches taller, and have a much more vibrant green...

I'm still confident in Ryan's thought

Thanks dood, Smart Pots are definitely the way of the future, if you seem them in your grow store, all it takes is one try, and you will be hooked, theyve been using them commercially for years for planting large trees in small areas, only recently have they released them for household use.

And i'll be using intakes and exhausts through probably 2 more grows and then i'll be able to afford to water cool this hut and seal it up air tight in the summer time, woot woot!

So my reservoir wasn't doing the full job I wanted it to.. I was using a Koralia Nano as a circulation pump
which is rated at 240 gph of circulation.. It just wasn't mixing things as hard as I wanted it to be,
So I bought a Koralia 1 today which is rated at 400 GPH, and it definitely kicks the debris up how I'd like it
to be! Also I was using a 100 watt aquarium heater to take care of temp, and that also was just too small,
it took like 3 hours to heat my 10 gallon reservoir, So i bought a 200 watt heater, and it took care of it in just
over an hour...


A weekly or daily checklist helps with organisation and keeps you and your plants
less stressed, mine is as follows
Check air circulation and ventilation
Check humidity (60-70) veg
Check humidity (40-60 flower
Temp Day 70-75
Temp Night 60-65
Soil Moisture
Cultivate Soil Surface
Check PH
rotate plants
check for spider mites
check for fungi
observe for nute deficiency
Check HID system for heat near ballast, plug in, timer, outlet
CLEAN EVERYTHING
CLEAN EVERYTHING AGAIN
Check walls and ceiling for mold
Move lamps if necessary

Doing all this stuff helps keep an organised, clean, healthy and stress
free garden, everything your plants love. Thanks for checkin my journal
and have a good one..

Thanks man, I saw your journal as well, outdoor hawaiian i am droooling..... I'm not gonna lie, when I was in Hawaii about 1 1/2 year ago, I was hooked up with some herb from a really cool cat on Kaua'I down in Poi'Pu, that shit had to have been some of THE finest herb I have ever smoked.. It was meant to be smoked in a joint, every hit got tastier and taster, even at the roach, it was as sweet as could be.. Aloha bro

The ladies are looking beautiful, man! Good job!

Thanks a lot! I appreciate any and all encouragement, besides my ladies this forum gets most of my daily communication!

Thanks much everybody
