I'm always scared the wheels are going to roll off the side of the table and the whole thing is going to topple over. I realize this isn't really a danger of happening, but it scares me every time none the less.
So this morning after refilling one of my 3 gal water jugs it slipped out of my hand carrying it back in the room. No biggie, its happened before... Wtf is all that water coming from?! Oh great the entire bottom separated from the container when it hit the ground and put the water all over the floor. Yeah it's concrete but I had to pull out the veg cab and shop vac the water up so it wouldn't soak into the walls. Good times!
That sucks man I've been down that road before. I was refilling my res the other day and the hose moved like 2 inchs and fell out of the tote, pumped a couple quarts out before I could get it picked up. I've changed how I secure it now.
Well one time, while I was asleep, a 1/2" line siphoned about 40 gallons of water out of one of my rdwc systems,,, WATER EVERYWHERE!
Now that is a good way to start your day.... Burnt out one of the sump pumps.
That would be a wonderful way to start the day. Reminds me of the time the floor drain got clogged in the basement and it rained like 4 inchs that night and filled up the floor of the basement. I found it in the morning. It killed a box fan and a space heater, but all the rest of my electronics were up off the floor thankfully! I had just hung up my main powerstrip the week before.
I built a stand today for the AC unit I don't have yet I'm going to let the accumulated water drain into a 3 gal to use in my plants so I need it elevated. You have the option of it exhausting the humidity out, but I don't want that.
I took the scissors to the girls 3 times yesterday. Enough to make a mortal man cringe. I'd say I removed at least half the total plant material all those little lower branches are now in the light and will make their trek upward because that's how we get the screen filled out. I cut every fan leaf that was either blocking a branch or was too big to get thru the screen on its own. I've always been a believer in pruning plants, we'll see how they progress now.
I totally believe in pruning man. I've watched the growth change after pruning, and I've seen how you can control the growth with it. Hopefully UB doesn't decide to come over to this thread and start talking shit because the subject came up.
Im also a firm believer in selective pruning! Exposing sites especially still in veg will do wonders. When I dont have the heart to pinch the leaf off I simply tuck it down below exposing all those lower nodes... Yes I tuck it Iv recently decided to try out heavy defoliation, but I did not practice this throughout veg though, next time... Always gotta be trying something new A great quote I came across~ some farmer "if I dont fail at something every year, that means Im not doing enough"
Why is nothing ever simple and straight forward for me. Sure add an ac! No problem! Of course everything is a problem! Working around the table is fun too. More to come.
I'm the exception to like everything that's supposed to be quick and simple. I'm the fucking asterisk at the bottom of every damn detail or instruction sheet! Spent 4 hours in the room tonight, finished it by putting it back just the way I started I'm gonna take a bath and then ill come back and try to go into some more detail.
