Thats some funny shit!
Word, I was like
I was about to just leave without even checking it out. Then I thought about it and said even if she is trying to get over on me, my best move would be to just fix it if possible.
I already have just about any components I would need and all the tools. Its funny because I knew what was wrong from the beginning. It was such an easy fault.
Heres what was wrong. You would plug it in and it would beep and flash the light that tells you the water needs to be emptied.
I looked up the manual and found how to run the startup test. All the lights flashed and the ac actually turned on for like 2 seconds then off again over and over.
At this point I was sure the ac was functional. The fans turned and everything. One thing I remember very well from my electronics training is to always check the most simple fault first. You would hate to open up a machine to find out it wasnt plugged in.
I knew the tray had no water in it but its e
reading like it does. Obviously the switch is stuck.
These acs usually use a float device kinda like in the top part of the toilet to stop the refill.
I tilted the ac back and nothing, forward and it turned right on.
Then It was more like

So I tried to put the ac in the bedroom and duct the cool air into the tent but the thermostat on the control panel was giving the bedroom temp not the tent temp so it would auto shut off way before the tent was cool.
So I built the ac into the wall of the tent. This way the thermostat is inside but the intake and hot air exhaust are outside. With that under control I grabbed my dollar store humidifier and tossed it in.
and I made a window.

Th ac is working fine, only thing is is gotta be emptied on a pretty frequent basis. I need a hose to hook up to it. Got temps, rh, and light pretty much maxed out. Now to completely focus on the nutes. After that the co2.
I now know I was overfeeding and have sinced rinsed each container until I was within tolerable of ppm levels.
Im now going to be mixing the first feeding since that flush a few days ago. I feel like I need to supplement with
magnesium, and maybe silica a little bit through foliar and the rest with the normal res nutes, reduced by the same amount.

Looks good man! I always love DIY rooms, with as much improvisation as possible. Re-use, recycle, save money. I'm all about that. Love the free A.C., lol. Now I'm gonna have my wife keep an eye out for something similar in our local online swap meet, lol.
Chem4 and Shiska Diesel are looking on point. So aren't those GC s1's. You still holding that OG cut?

Im sad to have to report the ghost was lost and the sfv never full rooted. I ll find her again. I feel like I know what to look for now. I may just follow your lead and s1 the chem 4 to see if anything looks familiar.
I swear chem 4 tastes like og.

"Started from the bottom now we here..." oops, wrong thread.
Thanks for reminding me to link the new thread. I felt I needed a fresh start.

You guys gonna make me cry.
I tried out my first epsom/silica foliar today up until now it was just straight water to flush out the buildup. I completely forgot I had this bottle of flush solution in the closet.
Might as well get a shot of everthing Im using bottlewise.

Chopped the gc s1 #3 and took the rootball out so I can reuse the coco.
I set up the 3 5gals with coco and started the flushing process so it can be back to normal by next weeks perpetual cycle day.

Shes a gem bro. Number 2 to gg4 but I don't crave the glue like this one. Always gone first.
She is looking a lot better this run and I know theres plenty room for improvement
Thanks, I'm gonna wait a little on the co2 for now. Even when I'm ready I wonder if I should get an RO water filter or the co2 generator. I see guys that use ro filter have to add cal mag back in. If I'm at 360 ppm from the tap, whats the benefit in having to use more bottles? At least I know for a fact the co2 will help.
I have been reading about growing big plants in coco in a sealed room in the coco trees thread and felt like I could pull it off. It kinda was all there just had to reconfigure some stuffs.
Trained to go!!!
Hopefully this can last me a while.
Welcome, thanks for checking my stuffs out.

I struggled with this concept too. I came to the conclusion that the CalMag add back is more in balance. Its also lower in PPM than my tap water. The RO gets rid of almost everything, then it is added back at the proportion needed for the plants. Plus it gets rid of chlorine, sulfur, and other nasty crap in the water.

I would go with the Co2 genny myself. Do you know roughly what your water pressure is? Cause if you don't have enough pressure, your gonna have to get a booster pump(for a RO system) . Being in a city, I think you'll have enough pressure, but it never hurts to know ahead of time before buying something.
Your water is plenty workable at 360 ppm's. Remember that 5k grow, I always talk about, that I used to run. The water coming out of the tap there was between 550-650 ppm depending on the time of year. I made it work, even running ebb and flow hydro tables, lol. Although the dirt section there always did better.
