GO is next to impossible to keep happy in a rez...other than that it works great...
i dont post in many other threads regularly because i end up having to subscribe to a 100 different threads and i can barely keep track of whats going on in mine.plus when people have questions you're more likely to get a variety of answers from people using different styles of growing and thus get a better answer.
besides,do you really want your thread cluttered up with random bike related stuff?

well that was fast.

You would be surprised how many people would appreciate and enjoy your company in their threads... Its not a chore to be nice and share what other share with you... their time and attention.

I was told you grow the best weed here on ICMag but I feel like you don't ever want to be bothered.

Your thread is cool but theres too much clutter for some who want to learn something without knowing what you do every single day.

When I post in there I have to back track pages just to find the response from earlier in the day.

Not saying anything negative, and I ride everyday too - I just don't have loads of money to drop on tons of gear like you man so im not particularly proud - but if you want to share stuff with people - its nice to be thought of or shared with and learn a thing or two/ see what else is going on in life.

For us little guys it makes a difference :wave:

you know I felt the same way about unc but really checking out grow threads can be sometimes boring so I understand unc being on lurk status im sure he's as much an asshole as sum would assume not saying you assume he's an asshole L but as with most growers we aren't always the most social that's the whole point with our community here ppl that no our lingo and know where eachother is coming from and to communicate with people that are able to understand lil things such as phenol variation plant structure smell taste and other things everyday smokers miss from our marvelous plant

Not saying hes an AH - just a bit selfish.

Lots of these "ganja gods" talk cryptic.

Then again theres the good guys like Mister_D and bobblehead who work hard at bettering themselves and through that experience they create wonderful things the help other growers utilize their ideas and they are happy to share these things. For example: D's DIY Automated Vertical Feed and Drain System <- passive drip irrigation :good: :respect:

Then you look at Unc and all he does is talk about his bikes and riding them and honestly I didn't know he had flowering plants till his SSSDH update lol. And thats not bad - but you can't expect to have too many fans when most of your time here is about me me me me... its almost like psychosis.

I wouldn't worry about big timers dropping by unless you really scream for help or know them better than just a screen name on the internet. If you need help - their always a PM away and you'd be surprised how nice and happy most are to help you.

The attention is good motivation though - and the different perspectives on things are priceless.

How big is your res - can you just make a fresh batch of nutes every day?

One of the cheapest DIY ways to increase humidity is a little technique made popular in the shroom-growing world. It's called the perlite humidification technique. The trick is have a bed of perlite underneath all of your plants, and then adding water to half of the level that your perlite is. In other words, if you have a 2 inch bed of perlite, you would add an inch of water. What happens is the perlite continuously wicks up water and evaporates it into the surrounding air, and you replace the water level daily. In shroom-growing chambers, this causes the humidity to jump up to 99%+, but in a plant-growing chamber with constant airflow, I'll bet this technique would easily put you up above 50%, maybe even as high as 75% if the airflow isn't extreme.

Otherwise, if it's possible to lower the CFM of your exhaust fan without adding heat to the grow space, that would be effective too. Maybe even in conjunction with a humidifying tek.

:yeahthats

I put all of my cuts (before they don't root :laughing:) in a small plastic tote (clear, 5-gal aquarium sized) that sits on a heat mat. Inside the tote is about 2" of perlite, which holds 10+ oz of water easily.

Foggers FTW

But what the heck, I'm replying to a six-week-old post, so I'm sure this itch's been scratched :)

yea she lasts about a day I havnt been running her as much seeing that its so packed in there I want NO mold mildew PM or nothing lol....I was thinking of drilling a hole in the tank and attaching a hose from a 5 gal so it'll be able to stay full longer but idk how I would hang the bucket above the humidifier

You know you can easily modify those things to attach to a gravity fed reservoir, right? I did that back in my mycology days, too.

With an ultrasonic, you have to make sure your reservoir is airtight, so it's not entirely that simple, but it can be done. There several teks over at the shroomery about it. You just have to make sure you don't introduce any air into the system, so that no air bubbles go through the line. Also you have to make sure the external reservoir never runs out. I remember one guy's tek was something like a "never fill tek" where he even had his external reservoir being fed by a faucet on a dripper.

once the buckets filled and the air is purged from the line how would the air get in while it's filld with h2o?
