I hear that loud and clear.

Keep me in mind when you feel like discussing ideas with someone who's actually grown a few crops.

For sure man.. I look forward to the day your up and going again.

Im at that dialing in shit point. I may redo my entire hvac system. If im going to run dehumidifiers inside my tents to manage humidity then I dont really need these big ass inline fans. I mean my 5x5 tent is 162.5 cuft. If i only really need to exchange the air once every 2 min Im about to just install some 4 inch fans and use them to exchange the air. Im just cycling air for co2 at this point. In the veg tent, temp is 72F 68%humidity. fan is on its lowest setting threw a filter.

Option 2, Get a dehumidifer for my entire basement. I have not the first idea on how to calculate what size i would need. plus i have central air. I also dont want to put the drivers in the tents. Would require more wiring and extensions cords then I really want.


I need to start thinking about what im going to drop in this bed once i harvest. Im 20 days out, so im going to do some clones i need to get on it. Im thinking Im going to do 9 this go, veg 3 weeks and flip em. No trellis. top em once. Ive also thought about 16, veg em a 2 weeks from little clones and flip em atypical. Well see how many clones i get from mothers.

Alright, im gonna sleep on this. Im open to suggestions. I know after all these years of HPS I'm really digging the no heat in the tents. Maybe I'm stoned and over thinking it.

So I started to watch the weather around here over the couple of days and my humidity is running at or under atmospheric humidity. So I dont need any kind of ridiculous dehumidifier. or trying to do the whole basement. Just going to find one that will kick on if it goes about a certain thresh hold.

I think you've got things pretty well under control so there's no need to do anything drastic.

Im thinking im going to drop one of these seed plants into the Hugel bed. Right in the center. Give it another week and flip em. Im going to drop 9 in the next bed. And we may work in to a 16 plant drop in the hugel bed. Havent decided what strain I want to do that with yet.

Well im gonna say that were looking at chopping on friday! well see. Trics are half cloudy half clear or so. No amber at all yet. I like to chop this strain right as soon as you see that first dot of amber. A few pics. We did upgrade the this tent to the AC infinity fan with a 67 controller. This bed will be getting 9 clones of C99 in a week or 2.

You can see that Critical in the center. Its may be done already. dont know dont care lol.

20210323_214627.jpg

Yep, 9 clones in this is gonna be awesome.

Well yeah, but i mean you will still have to transplant it. No till in at least 30s for sure. But before you get into all that, set yourself up for success. Here is what I'm doing at my inlaws place. Hes got a 4x4 tent. Hes got 4 27 gallon totes. View attachment 4848162 Then we filled 2 of them 3/4 full with handmade soil and a mulch layer. We then planted 2 girls in each pot. When he harvested, everything from the harvest not kept for use was then put into the top of the tote, watered, and the lid was put on it. Both of these were set to the side. Then we repeated this process for the other one. They were stacked and put in the corner. With the 2 empty one we filled them. He is now on a rotation 2 in, 2 out. No holes in the totes. He hand waters and only waters 1 gallon at a time. So in a couple of years he will then dump those into 45gallon ones. And do that for awhile. This allows him to build up over time and not have to drop 350 bucks filling 4x4 bed.
If you need any help setting that up let me know. I did this for 5 years cycle 8 25 gallon pots.

So I get asked about my Aloe a lot. I have found that making little mini guides and posting links to individual posts on this forum is pretty nice. So props to RUI for that.
I use aloe as plant food and as a soil whetting agent. The list of benefits is long. I'm not going to hash through that quagmire. Heres what I do. First we cut a leaf off our aloe plant and chop it up. I use a ninja blender for this step.

Then it gets run through a 45 micron bag. I have a cheap 1 gallon one from Whacky Willys. once filtered we then dump into our Sprayer.

Im sure this will make a lot more then 2.5 gallons. So i use my watering system with a very low stream and kinda mix it together while i spray. I have 2 beds so ill do half on one and half on the other. This is all i ever do for watering. I only do this once every 10 days or so. Nothing crazy. I just use tap water. Pretty simple stuff.

Everything is down and hung. I should fill all my jars so about 6 gallons once dried and cured. Im happy. Well see how it settle out.

On to more important things. Getting ready for the next round. My clones are not taking very quickly due to the cooler temps. I may have to get a heat mat and up my cloning game. Threw some clover out over every thing. I like to keep the clover coming in all the time. moved the rocks around a bit to layout my next round.

1616973444371.png

So this bed is now just growing clover and resting. bio life going to work. well let the clover grow in and ill be back with next steps on how I dry and cure. Soon as things look good well drop 9 clones in and be getting the next round done. Kicked the watering up to 1 min every day, just to counter evaporation.Sprayers are hooked up to a couple of waterflow meters and inline rv filters.

I run very low flow. Take 30 min to put out 7 gallons of water. Nice and slow.

Sure. So from the washing machine cold hook up i have a Garden Splitter. I then run a heavy duty hose to another garden splitter.
to the right is a simple spiral hose with a sprayers. Then going down we have a nelson 2 zone water timer. Under that we have 2 Obit Water flow meters. Then 2 rv filters. Each have 1/4 inch barb fittings to them. I run 1/4" line to each bed with 4 C-Sprayers. However I do NOT recommend these sprayers in this configuration. I will do an updated when the new irritation parts come in.
