Purple trichs?! Amazing. It just never gets dull here. Who is she bill?
I just set up a second square meter tent and I'm using an 8" (720 cfm) inline to pull through 2 6" filters in parallel. One tent is filter>cool tube>out, and the other is bare bulb reflector so it's filter right out. It's more than I need for the two tents. So much so that I had to buy a speed control. My one tents sides were sucking right in. One thing I noticed right away is dryness. It draws humidity right out and now I'm dealing with that. Both bulbs are 600 by the way.
Heads Up. I brought up that tactic a while back. I use a metal BBQ skewer that has a nice finger loop on it. I do this after I pick up my fabric pots and loosen the dirt up by kneading around it.
What can any of you guys tell me about heating pads for propagation. I'm feeling a bit of a newbie these days but I know it has to do with the cold temps in the dark that are making it difficult to keep my mediums warm. I just had great success and I'm sure the nice temps in summer made it easy for me but now it's winter and it's a whole new challenge. Even during the day when lights are on and the air in the dome is warm and moist, the soil is still cool to cold. Anyway, I've heard regular heat pads can be risky because of the temps that they reach but they're also cheaper and more readily available so.....Any thoughts?
Terrible luck with medium cloning I'm afraid. I tried 5 times with soil plugs and blended soils...
With my NFT cloner, my water pump keeps the nutrients at 80F
I've had it jump to 90, and all 10 survived!
A roughneck container, a water pump, some PVC piping=Easycloner
I think I have the light ventilation figured. Can't use outside air, but don't need to I just learned. If I run a Vortex V series 2050cfm, that's 340cfm per bulb, which should be enough.
My friend just called me a "Hipster Douche bag" for having 30,000 lumens per plant. That's twice I've been called that now. Hmmm. Should I be concerned? I don't even wear abercrombie...
