    How do i safely mount my remote drivers?

    Actually just a muffler for sound, cuts about 15 db off my exhaust noise (when my fan is running at full blast) and about 5 (when my fan is running on lower power settings)... acoustic foam squares and carpet pad (compressed shredded foam insulation). Like $20 all included vs how much for a...

    How do i safely mount my remote drivers?

    Thanks, I like my wood warm but not hot ;-) LMAO, it really was the laziest I could do it... I got done rebuilding the PVC frame (the original cheap topolite frame was collapsing inward) and I had no time, money, or energy left to do a good mounting point for the drivers like I had originally...

    Guessing Game - What flowering week does this look like to you?

    If my grow is at the same pace as yours I'll call that a win!

    How do i safely mount my remote drivers?

    Mine aren't too hot when mounted externally so I just mount the outer tabs to wood and let the inside/heat generating surface sit in open air. My original plan was to mount heat sinks to the boards and then the drivers to aluminum heat sinks but I got cheap/lazy. FYI I rebuilt the frame of my...

    Guessing Game - What flowering week does this look like to you?

    **SPOILER TEXT BELOW - HIGHLIGHT TO SEE ANSWER** Well I didn't set a "cutoff" time so I'll go ahead and say those pictures were taken on day 17 flower. The buds seemed more defined than I have previously seen (looks like a week ahead of my previous runs) but it is a different strain.

    i have amber trichomes but my leaves never turned yellow. is this bad?

    Here's an example for you man/woman/dude/they/*insert pronoun of choice*: I had some SLIGHT yellowing on my last run but it only started around week 7.5 and I think that was more of a response to me dropping the average temps by 10 degrees in an effort to pull out more purps in my buds (vanity...

    i have amber trichomes but my leaves never turned yellow. is this bad?

    How about some info on the grow itself so we/you can diagnose what might or might not be an issue? For instance even if you "flush" (which I don't recommend in any way/shape/form) with a good living soil grow it will stay green because the bacteria living in the soil will continue to fix...

    Guessing Game - What flowering week does this look like to you?

    NO CHEATING AND LOOKING AT MY GROW JOURNAL!!! If you were to just see a bud like this in a tent with no prior knowledge, what week would you think it was on? Some random info to help you guess: 4x4 tent (3x3 in use by plants) Soil grow Mars Hydro TS2000 Lilac Diesel RBX2 by Ethos Mainline...

    MARS HYDRO CUP - Lilac Diesel & Birthday Banger -Mainline Grow w/MARS HYDRO TS2000W & Home Assistant Automation

    Remote monitoring and remote automation.... everything that has an action can be triggered so: Once I add soil moisture sensors it gets scripted so something like "when average moisture of all pots goes below 'x', turn on watering pump for one hour" or something like that. or: if humidity goes...

    Super simple hoop house DIY

    That looks great, love the wood support structure on it. For sure then- if you glue/use good couplers and make sure that it is'nt being coupled right at the apex you should be fine.

    Super simple hoop house DIY

    That was my original plan BUT even screwing them together the PVC joint kept pulling apart. It MIGHT work if glued and properly cured? Alternately- instead of using PVC joints you could use wood hips like a full size greenhouse would have? At a certain point I think you'd have to move up to...

    Super simple hoop house DIY

    So it's been awhile since I actually put an update on this thread re: the original topic. Even with the cover I'm dealing with some stubborn cabbage loopers. DE seems to keep them away for 3-4 days at a time by itself. Going to try a mix of NEEM & organic soap and then mist DE over it after so...

    MARS HYDRO CUP - Lilac Diesel & Birthday Banger -Mainline Grow w/MARS HYDRO TS2000W & Home Assistant Automation

    Trying to keep my tent expanded even with negative pressure- it's a DIY rebuild of a crap tent and it's so loose the sides REALLY suck in. Added an extra intake to reduce the negative pressure a bit and used 550 cord to make x's on the three sides that don't open and a removable support line for...

    MARS HYDRO CUP - Lilac Diesel & Birthday Banger -Mainline Grow w/MARS HYDRO TS2000W & Home Assistant Automation

    Well I really ended up with a much more uneven canopy than normal. Tallest colas are ~8" above the shorter colas. Total canopy depth is about 21" I have a feeling I'm going to have to chop those tall colas and drop the lights to finish off the rest over an extra week or two this time. The...

    Seven week flower -- How close?

    Depends on the medium: for living soil I’d call two months without nutrients the normal for coco/hydro I’d call it plant genocide

    Seven week flower -- How close?

    I've never seen someone "flush" by just using plain water for two months... that's all my plants get most of the time. I've always heard flushing normally entails excessive watering until the TDS readings of your runoff drop significantly

    Seven week flower -- How close?

    Lol no offense intended, I just meant it's a question we all get to answer so often it seems like it would save time to just come up with a prepped answer like that.
