    3d printing help

    I Managed to get this off for my first ever print, I was hoping to move my cuttings from my areoponic propagator to the bigger pots without disturbing the root system to much and just allowing the plants to grow through the smaller baskets with possibly the chance to reuse them after (although...

    leaks in what way if u don’t mind me asking? I’ve done a bit of reading up and it sais that it sucks moisture out the air which affects the print quality, the friend that gave me the printer and reel of plastic to print with was keeping it in the same room as his grow and humidity was high

    3d printing help

    my mate has given me a 3d printer, my idea was to redesign my dwc pots/baskets to make it easer to transfer them from the cuttings into veg room then to the flower room, all most like Russian dolls but with the baskets going up in size, the 3d printer is fairly old and basic, but just wondering...

    Yeh I made a right mess with it all there was a coco ball stuck in the close valve so when I closed it and grabbed the filter and turned to clean it when I came back it had slowly emptied it self over the floor of my tent, it was a pig to try and clean it all live, the 2 filter system (one...

    yeh they were monsters, the climate controle was set the same so figured the air flow in the tent was good enough, it was the first time growing autos and was told to just let them grow from seed to finish, I did no pruning or defoliating either so it was a proper thick dense grow with no issues...

    yeh it’s odd I use a G.A.S climate controle it’s connected to both inlet and exhaust fans, it’s suppose to keep the temps and humidity at the set values, but still can’t get the humidity at night figured out and why it spikes so high, the last crop I put in the room was absolutely rammed (only 8...

    Ah ok thank u, temps around 21 ish, it varies through the day I have 2 small tube heaters in the tent on a thermostat but I’ve come to think they are a waste of time and humidifiers on a stat to and that seems to keep t fairly stable, the inlet fan and exhaust fan should be controlled by a...

    there’s a header tank with a float in, so it’s only as full as it should be, it’s all fed from a 120L tank outside the tent, the tank was emptied and I’d only let the pots drain down so it was easer to measure the the 100L going into the system for the switch, but yeh maybe should have measured...
