Man o man I swear everytime I poke into the vert section I wanna go vert.
Very nice garden dabs, kudos on the progress man.
Also congrats on the house! Thats a huge step forward.
And have you seen the 4k in one ballast with built-in flip? Has 8 lamp outlets on the ballast dimmable and digital, im really leaning towards one myself for my expansion.

Sounds to me like your whole 8k goes down the moment one output takes a shit on that thing. Versus just one light with individual ballasts. Cool idea, but i'd never buy one for that reason alone.
i bet that thing gets hot as shit! but it sounds just like what i want for my next come up
HALF of your 8k goes down if one output takes a shit
I doubt they would sell it if it were that big of an issue tho... You are right though, if it ever were an issue...Then you're fucked
I don't like being fucked, but that's just me .
Fuck yeah. Congrats on the house, bought at a really good time on all fronts! I'm closing very shortly muself, got inspired by Julains thread, i'd like to copy Nf's setup but with bigger plants/longer veg, and I am planning to expirement in one room with coco dtw, i'll be sure to send you a link once I get rockin, poppin a bunch of heavy hitters
For #1. I use Rapid Rooters in a slightly vented humidity dome. You'd think I'd like aero-cloners too as I have a passion for top feed RDWC which isn't far off from aero method only bigger scale and hydroton added. Did a ton of research on aero cloning but didn't try it. I like the KISS method but also want excellent results. The Rapid Rooters meet and exceed both criteria. I go right from veg to flower in the same 8.5" net pots. More KISS.Lessons Learned
--------------------
1.) Aero Cloners dont work for me! Harder to control all of the variables IMO. Different shades of green tho for you aero whores
2.) More focus on veg room limits time between harvests (should be none)
3.) Watering by hand every day sucks
4.) Window Air conditioners are a bitch if they arent installed in anything remotely resembling a window
5.) Box Fans suck
6.) Quickly assembled 2x4 framing, ghetto electrical, and panda plastic is not safe nor will it enable a stable environment inside the room. the plastic didnt do shit for insulating the room from the hot garage (which was made hotter by the A/C exhausting into it
I bought a house, i bought a house!!!
No more shitty landlords for me. Also my mortgae payment reduces how much i was paying for rent by $900/mo, And i have a Unfinished, framed out basement w/ concrete floors and drains; 800 sq ft of basement!
Shits gettin real over in dabville;
Upgrading to two 8000w rooms on a PLC controlled flip flop.
Trying to decide if I'm smart enough to build the power box and flips myself following the tutorial in this thread: https://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=99252
, or if i should go with this quote i got for ~$3250 for a 8x16 flip, power, PLC controlled everything for 2 flower rooms (Temp, humidity, co2 to run sealed rooms in the future), with HTC, and a couple other safety features.
I think i could save a couple grand by doing it myself, but safety is always an issue. I have wired all of my previous grows myself, and I have some background in coding, as well as understand ladder logic to some extent.
I think just building the power box and flip for now using a PLC, and just using the cool colorado air this winter to cool my grow and save me money while i adjust to this new house, and save up some money.
To do a 8x16 sealed flip is gonna cost $19k to start up, and I have about $10k left in my savings so I need to do it piece by piece. Utilize cold air during winter, and fire up the sealed rooms during the summer.
Any input, advice, from anyone??
Was thinking about going with a Siemens Logo! controller
Yea man, best time to buy is now (6months ago).. What strains man?
That's pretty exciting dabs. Since you have some experience, maybe I should ask you -- how did you manage dealing with a landlord? I think I'd be horrified that s/he would come by (obviously they don't want someone growing, legal or not, in their home). I'm currently using my apartment (which I own), but want to rent a house or the purpose...
Chronic
Critical Mass
Critical Kush
Whiteberry
Mandalla Hashberry
Akorn (aka snowbud)
WW
G13 C99 (Nothing like c99, more indica)
Kali Mist x BubbleGum (serious seeds)
And a few more freebie's
Clone Only-
ECSD (Hopefully)
Cheezle( Hopefully)
Chem-D (Hopefully)
Some other Elite's TBD (Hopefully)
I say hopefully because I fucked up and lost a bunch of elite's, and got a bunch back from friends that didn't label them, I'm only 50% sure that one of them is the sour, so I have to go back and beg for forgiveness, ECSD isn't something you should lose..... EVER
Looks like a great list. I dont know anyone with legit cuts of anything..and I dont trust the dispensarys to get my clones so Im pretty stuck right now until i order some more seeds!
envious brotha!
"Everythings going pretty good in the room... I Dabbed way too hard and fell asleep while filling my res up and flooded my whole garage"
I was dying at this
Where do you like ordering your seeds from if you don't mind me asking?
And not to be a complete newbie, but how exactly do you order them? With a money order?
