My Growitup Greenhouse Grow 2010

Yea, I remember when I used to cut when they were cloudy cause I couldn't wait.
Its worth the extra couple weeks.
If this camera cooperates Ill have one tomorrow.
Its weird, I never had a camera that wouldn't work when there was a change in temperature. I gotta keep it in a bag.
Ha! My favorite saying: SHOW ME THE MONEY!
OK man, here we go.

And a couple pics for peeps with a slow connect.
I havent watered them for a week now. The weather has been kinda cloudy and a few of the girls has shown signs of turning. After this week we should be back to regular weather, mid 80's with plenty of sunshine. I figure I lost a couple weeks of growth while they turn back. I really dont know.
This God bud clone... I dont know. Some of the leaf has a ridge down the vein and some are concaved. I wonder if it is normal for this strain or it is down the line and has been cloned several times.
Anybody?

great video cruz.
definitely didnt lose as much growth as say plants without a greenhouse in this gloomy weather
is the oscillating fan you have on the a/c a clip on or what? just never seen a clip on one that big haha and want one if it is

any time i see a leaf going concave, my first thought immediatly is low humidity (RH)Ha! My favorite saying: SHOW ME THE MONEY!

oh haha my bad. I didnt see the base there and thought the stand was just a plastic piece on the a/c
Right on guys,
I havent even looked at the humidity aside from thinking of ways to get rid of it down the road.
I got the watering system plumbed today.
Only problem was once the pump shut off the water kept comming. It created a siphon. So, I went and smoked a joint and figured if I drill a hole at the top of the line leaving the pump and ran 1/4 line into the res it will curculate the res when its pumping but then let air in the line once it shuts off and stop the siphon... whadda ya think? 1/4" will it work?
I would like some opinions before I drill into that.

are the end of the tubes going into the pots lower than the end of the tube going into the res? if so then gravity has ya, and i might can help, if your system can accept my recommendation. when the tubes draining the water are lower than the tube feeding the water, then the gravity of the water is pulling the water out of the res. i know you said siphon, so i may be wrong. did you test it with the tubes in the pots? they look dry so I am thinking you didnt, but the moisture may all be in the middle. cuz if they are saturated with water, it should stop them from draining, similar to the concept of those aqua globes, they soil plugs them when its moist enough. so if you can raise your exit tubes so they arent lower than entrance tubes, combined with the saturation of the soil, that should stop the flow.
so i basically told you my idea, then proved my idea wrong, then may have proven it back right. hopefully some of my brainstorming here at least reduces some of yours!!! smoke one for me, im out!!!

ever heard of a check valve?
Thanks for the brainstorming Gunball. No, I think once it starts it will continue.
I dug through my hydro box and found a connector.
Actually no guys, I havent heard of a check valve. I was thinking it would be called an air gap but whatever.
It worked. I found I had a double female 1/2" and drilled a hole in that and tried it. I guess I made a check valve.
I tried it again, It works fine now.
Water hits about an inch under the top soil.
Yea the idea is to keep humidity down and stop some of the evaporation by sticking the water tubes in the soil. Well the other reason was I couldnt find the dam stakes. LOL no but I understand top watering in hot temps, a lot gets evaporated by the heat and becomes humidity, not what you need in a greenhouse. Well not in flower anyway.

Hey Boomer,
I think I got it solved. I got two 6 in duct fans I am gonna mount on outside of each side wall and both will suck air from over the grow. One is already mounted in the top of the watershed. The other box I still have to build. I figure both of those with the A/C should work.
I thought of making rings, I have a few 6 in ones I made in the past but didn't use them. I figure I can find that sweet spot in the timing and volume and by hitting both sides get it pretty even. Im thinking 15 min twice a day with two 1 GPH drippers to start. It would be like a gallon a day per plant site... That sounds like a bit much now that I think about it.
Time to medicate.
