    Almost forgot. Day 22 The tall ones are about 12" Plant #4 stretch double this week compared to the other AC. They're abut 6" If continued to do a little trimming this week but I think that's about finished. SO hopefully the stretch is over and it's time to start fatting up.

    I'm gonna geek out in here for a minute. The AC Infinity 69 controller has an app. It tracks humidity, temps, and VPD. The data can be downloaded. So, I decided to see what I could do with it. A word of caution, I know what tools I need to visualize the data & I know how to use them. Last...

    Yesterday might be the day I dislike most in growing. The final haircut but it always has to be done. Well when you don't have room it does or face those green underdeveloped, starved for light energy wasters. I didn't take pics but I ended up cutting 30 to 40% of the material out. I tried to...

    Big update. The first night of 12/12 was the 15th. This photo is the 16th Since the room has been sealed up a little more than it used to be, the humidity builds quicker and goes higher than it did in the past. I guess it could be the memory, it's been 9 years after all. To keep the humidity...

    AC Infinity Cloudray 6" Auto Oscillating Fan

    I found these on etsy. There are all kinds of them that look better than what I rigged up. I'm probably going to have to get one. Lil Blizzard Fan Mount - Etsy

    First off, I got some ladies. I'm surprised they've shown already but then they have been under 24hrs of light. And the most amazing part to me is how neglected these plants have been. Construction is pretty much wrapped up. I still need to add some stuff, like a folding desk. I need to run...

    Old hydro grower giving it another go.

    Things have progressed nicely this week. The veg room is pretty much ready. The flower room maybe ready tomorrow. Hopefully. I plan to just let the ladies veg & flower in the flower room this time. I used sheetrock on the ceiling and the upper half of the cabinet wall. I didn't finish it...

    Looking for some feedback

    Hopefully your grandmother is doing well. What changed? What did you give them or not give them? Is 86 degrees the normal temp? Pick the plants up and see how much they weigh. Heavy pot full of water, light pot need water.

    AC Infinity Cloudray 6" Auto Oscillating Fan

    I use one of these. Holmes HOAF90-NTUC Blizzard 9" Three-Speed Oscillating Table/Wall Fan, Charcoal, 14.4" x 10.4" x 10.6" : Home & Kitchen (amazon.com) I took it off that base and made a wooden bracket I screwed to the wall. The AC fan looks nice but if you can't buy it what good is it. No way...

    Ordered my flower light. Growcraft X3 500 watt. I figured best to go ahead and get to see how hot things are going to run. This way I can have flower room ready instead of playing catch up to the heat issues.

    Thanks for your suggestions, guys. I pulled the trigger on the Buy ChilLED Tech Growcraft X3 – 500W LED Grow Light – LED Grow Lights Depot The performance, the design and it's made in America. I know I could have saved money by buying the DIY kit, but I chose to buy my time instead. The...

    Old hydro grower giving it another go.

    Progress on the room has been slow this week, other priorities. But I think I've decided to run the plumbing differently this time. I checked out my old garden drain & it's in working order. I hate carrying water & if I don't have to, I'm not going to. The plants looked to have a little...

    LED Selection Help

    Well, there's this one too. But I'd have to be crazy to pay $1600 for a light. Hell, I am crazy but am I that crazy? Can my plants handle that kind of light with C02? Or would this be diminishing returns and not worth the additional cost? Growcraft ULTRA - 330W LED Grow Light - Commercial...

    LED Selection Help

    Former grower new to LED lights and I'm having a little trouble picking a flower light. The room is 5x4 but the grow area is 4x2. Hydro, ebb and flow. Once the mothers are selected I'll probably never flower more than 4 at a time. I just don't need to. Years ago I grew in the same space with...

    Things are looking better. I added foam board insulation to the block walls and fiberglass insulation between the studs. I was all set to put tile on the floor and a wrong turn in Home Depot led to a different decision. Linoleum was the quickest thing I could do other than leaving it alone. I...

    Step 1 complete. Here's a picture of the old flower & veg rooms stripped down. I've gone back and forth on the floor. I've got some old white tile that will work but I hate laying tile. Or I can skim coat the floor but me and concrete are mere acquaintances. The floor is extremely unlevel. At...

    Man o man what a start. All seeds have popped so I have 6 seedlings. That's where the good news stops. I mixed a very mild for my res just to test the system. Well a couple of days later I notice a faint odor in the room. I knew right away the res was sour. I dumped, cleaned and sanitized. Also...

    All 5 seeds had sprouted this morning. They're planted in rockwool cubes. The cubes were soaked in water for 1hr. Water had a few drops of Superthrive & pH at 5.7. It got hot today. Summer is on the way. If all goes right, these will be in the flower room in the hottest time of the year...
