Did you calibrate the dehumidifier, or double check it with another? Also if your in Ca with low humidity and a don’t have it loaded very full that might explain it, in which case just let it ride, 58% rh is ok and better than the outside humidity. You could put a damp sponge in to see if rh...

Your heat looks fine, with led lights IME 26-29 C is ideal. Don’t drop the second light, you have barely enough as it is.

I don’t pull the lower leaves until they are mostly yellow, but before they start to dry. When I flip to flower I take out all of the lower branches that will never make it to the canopy, but leave the fans until they yellow. It opens up the middle for airflow but retains many of the fan...

You can put that light about 24” from the seedling at this point. I assume this is the same single screw in led bulb from your last post. If there’s any issues raise it, but I suspect it will still stretch and need to be lowered again. Edit: for future runs I would not use clear cups, or put...

I think you might want to be careful, that tape holding the metal frame that is holding the light is going to peel paint off the wall if you leave it too long. And I don’t know how strong the led is, it’s probably too far away from the seedling.

No need to flush, a complete bro science false belief. Flushing does nothing to the taste.

I have a kitchen aid with the meat grinder attachment as well, it’s not as easy to clean, but does work very well too. I wouldn’t hesitate to use it if I didn’t have the mill.

I do that at times, but when I have a bunch the mill makes it easier. If I’m keeping them whole boiling water for a few seconds to an ice bath, skins come right off as well.

Here’s my secret weapon for making tomato sauce, kind of a bowl trimmer for maters. Skins, seeds and purées them in a flash, and has different sized grates for chunky or fine. I roast them a bit to loosen the skins and add some flavor, you don’t have to though.

I don’t think it would hurt, but don’t think it’s necessary either. I don’t know of anyone that has added an extra fan, nor anyone that has had an issue an extra fan would solve.

Hot and overcast here today, rain is finally slowing down. I went out and picked tomatoes during a stop in the rain, getting about 15 lbs a day now. Some of them are huge. I guess it’s time to make some sauce.

I see the reflection of someone kneeling down taking the picture, not a chicken lol. There’s even a belly button.

It raining here until Sunday, just looked it up and didn’t make me happy. At least Sunday should be nice, but then Monday comes with heat and extreme humidity again. At least I’m growing inside.

You have ac and dc backward, it’s 90-305 AC, 127-432 DC. Yes you could drive the LEDs direct as an experiment. Todays solar panels put out about 20w per sq ft. At 12-24VDC. So if you put 12 12VDC panels in parallel you’d have 144VDC, 1’ panels would give you 240 watts. To drive a 600w driver...

It’s pouring and lightning here, but high in the low 80s today. We’re in a drought on the east coast, at least va, so a bit of rain is welcome as long as it stops.

Welcome to RIU, cannabonsai has always looked interesting to me, I’d love to try it but we have a max plant count, and a bonsai ain’t gonna make the cut. Would like to watch someone through the process though. Keep a journal if you decide to try, I’ll watch.

I understand. I do believe it is proven red and far red have more of an effect on flowering, and blue and violet have less direct effect, but the human eye sucks at seeing low level blues, so green has been thought safer, and yes high levels of green will still mess with the flower cycle. I’m...

That’s not necessarily correct. The human eye will dilate in white light, think of walking out of a dark room, it takes just a second for your eyes to close the iris enough so the light is a proper level. Walk into red lighting and nothing happens. That’s why red lights are used in the...

Our humidity has been through the roof as well, along with the temps. Looks like we may get a break today, humidity only in the 50’s and a high temp about 90, feels like a brisk fall morning out there.

Yes, you could build a circuit from a battery to the leds to keep the voltage constant, but that was not the original question. The question was can you power a quantum board direct from a solar panel, I said it would not be ideal. Your light would change intensity constantly with the sun...
