Yessir. Never done it myself, but I wish I had, at least on my BOG Blue Moon Rocks.

I have never done it but will certainly consider it in the future. Really never crossed my mind.. Thanks for the reminder..

Same here. I use a medicine pill bottle with sand paper in it. Shake it for a few minutes then soak. Works like a charm
They call scarifying them or something like that don't they? Ive heard or read about that in my old books but have never done it. Do y'all just scuff the seam?

Yea pretty much. I don't shake mine i just let them roll around on the sand paper. Kind feel like i am just scoffing the seam.

Yeah, that's the proper term. I've never actually done it myself, but I know some people will line a matchbox or pill bottle with sandpaper and give em a little Shakey shake.
Cool setup, I've been wanting to do an hpa system forever. I've got everything to do it without the bladder or accumulator and solenoids. But ive decided not to do it that way as the sprayers drips as the pressure drops . You've done yours right, can you notice a big difference vs other methods?

The only other things i do is ffof and perlite for my moms, and I have an LPA cloner.
My mom plants grow slow as hell compared to HPA. Like slooooooooow.
I don’t have anything else to compare to, I started growing with HPA because it seemed to be like a good way to get “enough” (for RSO) out of a small space in a reasonable amount of time. It does that.
How do you time your pulses for the solenoids, I couldn't tell a lot about it from the pics. Also does your pump just kick on off of a pressure switch. It's really interesting, I plan to run mine in the nft style square pipe one day.

Everything gets handled by two controllers that I built, one for environmental stuff like spray times, lights, ac, humidity temp etc.
One for ph, ec, top off etc.
Seeing yours has spiked my interest again and ive dug all my stuff out. Thats cool you've built your controllers, I'd like to find some timers like multiponics use. Can you program the pH swing with a controller? Or is it just a set point.

It’s a set point with a deadband, so it keeps it in an acceptable “range of ph” from 5.7-5.9, I can keep it at one set point or I can let it drift. It’s up to me.
I can change it to whatever I want, I can change how fast or slow, how much or how little. Literally any way you can think of I could program my controller to act that way. I could set a schedule and have it be a different ph at different times of day.
Literally any way I want to control it I can, and the amount of money I’ve saved (just from a reduction in my daily labor) has already paid off my investment for this latest controller.
Not only that, but being able to design, manufacture, and program something of this nature is really satisfying.
I wouldn't know where to begin. If its mechanical or electrical I've got it covered, but when it gets deep in electronics i get left behind. The two things I'd like to go back to school on is electronics and chemistry.

I was on vigilant nanner hunt on my first round not a single one. You will like the Albert some real floral sweet smell's.

Anyone growing 91 skunk d? Ordered over the weekend, shipped out today. Excited to have some chem genetics in my garden. I grew the pure ghost and really liked it.

How many day's did you flower the Ghost OG

Also is that the Ghost to the right in the first pic and what strain is that to the left in the first pic.

Its been awhile since that grow, but I'm pretty sure I took it to 10 weeks. I think that pic was around week 6 or 7.
