UPDATE: I just added an environmental controller, CO2, permanent PH/PPH/TEMP monitor, and closed loop light cooling tonight. What a fuckload of work to set it all up! Oh well I am sure it will be more than worth it. Go CO2!!!!! I will post pics tomorrow, too tired tonight.

Yeah it was but there is a big sale going on a San Diego Hydro and I just picked up about $2k worth of gear, not all for me. They are doing 30% off this weekend so if any of you guys are in San Diego and wanna get some good deals go over there this weekend. They usually always hook me up with discounts but the most I usually get is 20% so another 10% really wants to make me go spend.

I would have spent twice what I did, but I have not gotten my tax refund yet. Stupid IRS, I want interest on the time I am waiting you FUCKS!!! You have def charged me interest when I wait to pay you back. Fucking IRS, bunch of thieves.

Sorry just venting..... I am still very happy with my additions. Not only wll they provide me bigger yields and better control but it also saves me money because the fans aren't always running, the fan that cools the light goes on and off with the light and the exhaust fan goes on and off as needed to control temps, which can now be much higher because I have unleashed the power of CO2!! I just need to add one more 6" fan for the intake so I won't have to run 2 passive intakes. I also installed a Can-Filter in line with the exhaust fan. It was really starting to stink down there.

I will post pics later tonight when I am not disturbing my girls' sleep.

Did you ever get any more slime? I'm currently running an ebb n flow table but the slime is everywhere. I'm trying to find creative solutions to kill it.

NO MORE SLIME!!! Use tea not H2O2, because H2O2 will just delay the inevitable. I have not gotten the slightest hint of slime since using beneficial bacteria, fungi, trichoderma, and mychorizae. I would recommend to anyone using hydro, especially DWC.

I will take some pics later today after I am done cleaning up all the wiring and whatnot. The CO2 setup with the environmental controller was about $1200.
