Sim's 240W T5HO multi strain corner

Hey everyone. Finally I decided to sit down start a new thread that would not have a misleading thread name.
I started growing over 3 years ago and never got bored with it. Haven't been active in RIU lately but once in a while share some details over here.

Some of my previous grows:
150W CMH sativa garden
more grows
2nd grow
1st grow

Room
I have a very limited space. a bit over 3' in depth, 2' wide and 3' tall. And my genetic preferences over those years haven't changed. I still go for sativa dominant stuff therefore running out of space is not a rare thing. This is why LST, supercropping, mainlining, topping, stem burying, light schedule practices never leaves my room.

Lights
ATM I've got mixed spectre of 39W 6xT5HO supplementing with 70W CMH.

Over those years my seed library grew to over 40 strains and I still haven't sprouted even half of them. By the time I'll try everything I have + everything I want + everything new I get from friends will be 22nd century already.

Currently flowering
Back to the Congo, Good Dog, 4x Serious Casey's, Big BudxWhite Widow

Also got some Back to the Congo males already shedding pollen
bubble cloner keeping alive cuttings in case those strains will turn to be keepers
and some rooted clones vegging and waiting for space in flower room

Garden:


And some purple trich beauty by Good Dog


Will add other details as I'll document the stuff.
Cheers

The plants look good and that purple is frosty! Nice.

Thanks. The real frosty ones sitting in the back.
Was collecting pollen today and got some visitors in my balcony..

Sim..sim..sim......has been crazy busy. Shrooms too now bruh? I'll pick your brain about that subject later. Sorry I've been gone so long..again. I've been insanely busy developing a game and working. Still insanely busy but, gotta keep in touch with friends. That, and I'll be modifying a 3 drawer dresser kind of deal, the object is to be super stealthy. Smell control, noise reduction, the usual. Weighing my options on the lighting, if I can shit the money I'll upgrade on that. If not, I have no problem with CFLs. I'll be spending a decent chunk on this cab to ensure it'll be a viable option to continue growing in along side my larger lights and whatnot when that time comes (or be the veg cab).

The design is pretty great. Just needs to be tested and tweaked if necessary....I expect tweaks, of course. Probably won't do a journal, but my semi-green thumb is aching to get going.

Hey man glad to see you catching up! Well if you have all those stealth grow plans I might be seeing you more often here haha!
Did you harvest anything from what I've sent you?

I've been busy myself lately. Started working on some real cool stuff. Basically it's about wiring my room with sensors, connecting them to arduino microcontroller that is connected to raspberry pi weather station, that grabs data from serial port with python and sends it to my database. and then some fancy graphs. Also every ten minutes based on my location getting json data from local weather site and pushing to db as well.
So far have 3temp sensors for ground/ceiling. also humidity, barometric pressure and light intensity. Still waiting for better light intensity, soil moisture, CO2 sensors. Will also be adding remote device control over Solid State relays so i.e. room temp goes down to 15C, heater would be automatically turned on etc etc.
Also email notifications about critical soil moisture levels and what not.
So far it's at a very basic setup wired on breadboard. Still already getting quite some output and drawing some neat graphs, check them out
Raspberry Pi + arduino and temp/hum sensor


Some output for testing


Some graphs


As you can see that alone is awesome. Now stick along and you'll see this setup being expanded and improved
I might even write a phone app to control my heater, fan and whatever will later come to mind...

Nice man. Talk about dialing in your system. Na man I haven't been able to. Wanted to do one or two outdoors but was too high risk of losing them. That's one of the many reasons I want to get this going. I'll be getting it put together over the next week or two, I'll let you know.

Where'd you get your information on shrooms? I've been interested in that for awhile....just never got to it.

You can read everything about shrooms on shroomery.org forum.
To get some yourself, google for mushroom grow kit. Shipping of this kind of thing should not be difficult as all it contains is some perlite/vermiculite and some spore concentrate. growing itself is easy, just follow instructions that comes with order..
