Captains little dr120 that could!

[captain planet]

Well it was a run of 9 that had 4 from clone and 5seeds, when I started flower, I was doing it early 3-4 weeks seedling/ veg, and in pots accordingly to grow 9 in the space, in soil and then lost 1,2 to being male, 3,4 herm, 5 was some pineapple freebie that was no where near close to finished but I was, and the other 4 finished up nice, but were not trained and were not in big enough pots to be setup to take advantage of the tent. My last run in it a year ago was started at 5 plants, and Borg and summer temps fried em up and I packed it up for a while due to some personal issues, meanwhile my sensi SS mom got spideys and oh that was also same time I got my ro filter and while experimenting and tweaking just helped the heat, the mites, and the lack of cal mag kill my lady...' S ,( also was trying to run side by side with a cheese no comment on who's cheese , I def harvested a decent amount but I'm not great with numbers, ..... Long story short, yes,.... yes I do need a better strain!

^^^^^
wish i had known this a couple days ago ...... might have been able to help turn things around for ya .

 

[captain planet]

It's all good Dans I might go to the home depot today, and stare at the gorrila glue, and see if I can't do some alchemy and get it to materialize into the real thing! We' ll see*

Some moms

A peek into flower

 

[Hammerhead]

I don't grow in the summer to dam hot for me and the plants. I could run the AC to keep the girls happy @78f but I want to keep myself cool lol. It takes 2x the effort and allot more PGE..Im running behind this year. My flower room is packed. My veg tent is packed. I keep my moms in that tent. I don't keep many they have to be very special..I have 5 keepers the GSC is being bumped off the mom list. I will keep her around but she is not good enough for any special treatment. I keep 1 small cutting to grow and clone that's it.

 

[captain planet]

Uggggggg I hear ya! I have to run into July this year , I'm gonna need to get real creative , or "constructive"......

 

[captain planet]

So the trip to home depot worked out

Some GG 4 cuts in perlite cells, I'm usually 2-3 weeks with this method

Nice! I'm a tent-guy, too. Lookin' forward to the show.

Curious though, are you still using the carbon filter pre-filter in a blow-through configuration? I'd sock it away for the future. No real point in having it on there if you are blowing through.

 

[captain planet]

Thanks for stopping by evil cartman. I wasn't running it with it on at first, but after seeing the inside of the poly on my last home made filter( pretty black) I didn't want to push the carbon dust into the air for the multiple sets of lungs we have around here!*

 

[captain planet]

Some packs from the past.

Ah, understood. I know what ya mean! I've run a few home-made CFs myself. Used to have to clean the reflector glass after every refill. I haven't seen the problem on the store-bought units, but better safe than sorry!

 

[unclefishstick]

good filters are like good fire extinguishers,an absolute must....im pretty sure both are cheaper than a lawyer...

steady as she goes cap!

 

[captain planet]

HEARD! Sorry bout being loud, that was my kitchen voice thanks for stopping thru Unc! Don't be a stranger now ya hear !

 

[captain planet]

Ugh! 84 in the flower room I really don't want to start up the Ac yet

 

[captain planet]

74 in the basement might be time for a switcharoo

 

[unclefishstick]

i wish i had a basement,that would be such a good idea around here,it would be like free cooling for the house to have a basement,never could figure why they dont ever put basements in house here....i assume it has to do with the crappy sandy ground...

 

[bugman52]

yea a full basement would be nice here

 

[captain planet]

Yeah underground homes and building is so under utilized. I've seen some really cool underground homes.... I guess a basement is a good start

I'm pretty sure I'm gonna do the switch, at 70 outside overnight I was at 84 in my room,all night. My only prob with the basement is if at any point I do need to Ac it, I'll need to buy a portable $$$ already run an occasional dehumidifier down there, and have really helped the airflow and "dankness" (the bad dankness) by running my 170 cfm pushing out a dryer vent 4 times a day for an hour

 

[dansbuds]

My basement is way to wet or my rooms would defenatly be down there instead of this hot box attic . i've had my AC on sense the middle of last month !!!!

if yours is dry enough cap .... then stick the tent down there , i doubt you'll need the AC unless you go crazy with lights . i used to run a 250 & a 400 side by side in a basement & never needed AC . all ya need is good air circulation .

 

[captain planet]

I Hear ya Dans. That's what I'm trying to figure out,... If it's to wet or not. last summer the dehu I would set to 50/65 (with b. Air at 80+ humidity) and I'd dump once a day, tho last year I wasn't actively pulling air out, so that also changes it .... I've got an old place with gaps and cracks everywhere, and only wall and window acs. Once full summer hits I imagine some of the cool air would get pulled through the basement and out. I really need to go to petsmart and get one of those cheapy therm/hydrometers to check the differences, I've got more than a couple dig therm but no hydroms. So far for basement I was just going off the readings from the dehuey, I really hate deciding things like this.... The bedroom, has the wall Ac to be right where I need it if needed, but saving energy and getting the show out of the way sounds nice too
