Well not sure if there is really a thousand colas in the room, I'd say pretty close. Figured its been awhile an finally have something to show. Moved to a legal state. I am a caregiver an so is my wife.

thanks for the praise everyone!!!



I have to say i am veryyyyy ..... veryyyyyyy impressed with my new humidifier system

Purchased cool mist patio misters designed to cool the area in out door patios. (ebay) They run on regular water pressure. I removed 3 of the 5 misters. 5 misters was way to much. They are 1/4 poly hose, so i was able to get fittings for the retrofit at the big box store. I placed the mister's about 8 ft from each other.

Just a fyi , if you get these misters, you cannot take the hose out of the misting fitting if you want to. you have to cut an leave a few inches before an after the fitting so you can splice in the new 1/4in hose. I am not sure if you can find the misting fittings sold in a " T " or elbow. That way you can customize it to your room.



there is a 120v solenoid to turn on an off the water. I have an autopilot controller regulating the humidity.

the misters are amazing. i get no puddling anywhere. just a few drips off the misters when they shut down.

One less thing i have to fill /watch/ maintain in the room. filling the humidifier every day was getting old. hearing people replacing fogger discs. or running pipe throughout the room to help disperse the fog. these mister seem the way to go, atleast at this point.





It is a very humble feeling to see the room today. its about 2 years in the making.

i think i was editing the post an adding the strains when you replied. check to my 3rd post i think..

i like the e-paps. last run i noticed some nice density from them. they seem to push the plants harder therefore you need to feed heavier. i feel i get more light at lower wattage settings then my old hortiluxes. gotta keep the lights higher over the canopy


building another room 16x20.

Flower farmer, so far i feel you get more bang for your buck out of the de's. It is said that these units on the 825watt setting is comparable to a 1000w hortilux. I hope that with the reduced power consumption i can save on electricity over a few runs an make a difference. time will tell.



So on another note its been difficult to keep the rez from going to 6.1, always , every 5 or so hours it will go from 5.2 to 6.1. This needs to get under control, so i need to learn my new ph/nutrient dosing system. It is good to have the swing, but not so quickly. 2ndly im not always around to add phdown, an later on in flower the ph maybe swinging down instead of up.

Im only gonna focus on getting the ph portion in check atm. Seems to be a pretty nifty setup. paid $750 for it some time ago an finally getting to use it. Well priced and it keeps track of everything, remote log in capable.

How does your lavender phenos stack up? Ran a pheno few years back and must admit I miss it. Had the most beautiful colors with a unique smell and taste, I miss it.

marrdogg, i loved my lavender cut. thou i cant say for sure its orgin, it looked like somas, but im not sure. It came from a cali dispensary about 8-10 years ago, i ran it for like 7 years. thou i got tired of it acting up, my shitty cloning skills, an new genetics that came in at the time she faded from my liking. But today i wish i never let it go. Before i did let it go i hit one clone with g acid, made a chamber for it an collected the pollen. On the next run I marked an then painted a few lavender branches w/the pollen.

beautiful colors, beautiful smell , high trich coverage. pain meds for sure. Very floral smell an taste. She sometimes would get this dark black purple to her when temps dropped.

By acting up i mean i could never grow it mono cropped right. I sometimes had 2, sometimes 3 variations from the same clone. i would take 10 cuts from the mom, root them an veg them out.

some would stretch like a sativa an grow out of control ,very lanky, egg shaped & size nugs, but high tric coverage.

then the 2nd was a heavy squat indica structured plant with average trich coverage. that would always get drowned out from light an sites never seemed to advance.

the third was medium lanky. best of both worlds, high trich, racquet ball size cone nugs stacked ontop each other. Some people still talk about how they liked it an its been like 3-4 years. I still have some in my sisters freezer.

few pics of her a few years ago. What i think i know now is that pruning her properly would produce more consistent results. Also her root size into flower made a difference of how she grew into the flower cycle. Odd bitch!!!! But i liked her after she was gone...
