people suck sometimes,and not in the good way like jw humming the star spangled banner...


frack!! i should have remembered all my tire problems always come in threes...i just replaced a worn out tire,then in less than a week took a nail through the new tire and popped a tube,now i just found another frickin hunk of metal driven through the new tire....at least it didnt pop this time...better grab another spare inner tube.....may be time to think about tubeless...

Pappy any water below room temp is not good for the root zone . & being up here in the attic ... i had to use aquarium heaters last winter to keep the water warm enough .heres a post by Ed rosenthal thats pretty much spot on .

Hydro Ho,

Root Zone Temperature (RZT) is self-explanatory - it is the temperature in the area of the roots. Marijuana thrives when its roots are kept at room temperature, about 72 degrees. When the air temperature remains at 72 degrees and the root zone is cool, which often happens when containers are placed on a cold floor, the roots do not work as efficiently as they do at a higher temperature.
RZT can also be used as an environmental variable in relationship to air conditions. If the air temperature is too hot, for instance 85 degrees, which is 10-13 degrees above the ideal, and the water temperature is lowered to the low 60's using an aquarium-grade water chiller, the cool water and the warm air seem to cancel each other out. Perhaps there is a heat exchange going on within the plant.
Conversely, cool air temperatures can be ameliorated using warm RZT.

The temperature in the top zone has to be right for the chemical reactions to occur. The top zone itself can slow down transpiration or increase it as needed to maintain a certain temperature in the production tissues.
When the lights go on, temperatures are low and there is less need for cooling. As the day progresses, the energy and temperature in the air and plant tissues increase, as does the rate of transpiration, which then falls back again as the day comes to an end. These temperatures can, for example, start at around 18°c and reach a peak of 29°c before falling back, an 11-degree difference over half a day. In the root zone, these temperatures may vary between 18°c and 19°c – only a 1°c difference, but the roots must function well enough in that constant temperature range to provide everything that the top zone needs, and then does not need, as it goes through the rapid daily temperature change.
Using this knowledge

plants took millions of years to evolve to the circumstances in which they had to survive and propagate themselves under natural conditions. Soil temperature and characteristics vary according to latitude and composition. Plants have evolved according to the needs they faced in specific locations. Soil, whether natural or artificial, varies in its ability to lose or retain heat based on material, depth (volume) and moisture level. In very porous material, the temperature will fluctuate rapidly, as it will in dry material. But temperature fluctuations decrease as the material becomes denser or if it contains more moisture, and this is increasingly the case deeper into the soil profile. But soil will undergo fewer temperature fluctuations than air under all these conditions.
However, if the medium is confined to a bucket, a raised bed, or some other container, then these fluctuations will become more rapid and intense and the temperature profile will become closer to that of the air surrounding them. The medium loses its ability to serve as a temperature control for the roots under these conditions, resulting in an under-performing root system which cannot supply the top zone with all it needs. Shallow-rooted plants work with wider temperature fluctuations closer to average day/night air temperatures, whereas deeper-rooted plants have to handle smaller fluctuations and cooler temperatures than this average.

Regulating plant temperature

The plant’s root system does not regulate its own temperature, and once temperature in the medium strays outside the optimum zone for reactions to occur, it can no longer supply the rest of the plant with the optimum level of water and nutrients. This is the case whether the temperature is too high or too low. The greater the fluctuation in temperature in a 24-hour period, the more stressed the root system will become, and the more problems a plant will have both physically and pathologically, and it will become increasingly susceptible to pathogens and insects. Placing any root system in a medium above ground will increase the surface area from which heat can be gained or lost.
plants become dormant when the root system stops most of its functions, whether this is a result of too cool or too hot conditions. This is true in container plant nurseries located in warm, sunny areas. In the summer, the containers warm up due to the surrounding air temperature and the plants go into a second period of dormancy even though they are being watered and fed for maximum production and growth. Even the temperature of the irrigation water or nutrient solution will increase or decrease the root function, and any sudden large temperature change will shock the roots. Good growers will warm or chill the water to be in the correct range before irrigating.

Close monitoring

Temperature is extremely important for plants to grow and flourish, but all the factors involved are much more complicated than we can go into here. The root and shoot systems have a different set of needs when it comes to temperature: one can function with larger and faster temperature fluctuations, while the other needs a much smaller, cooler, and stable range. Good plant growers will take this into account. A weak or poorly functioning root system will slow top zone development because it will not be able to perform the chemical reactions required by slowing the uptake of nutrients. Not all nutrients will be affected and some will be faster than others, which can show up as individual deficiencies.
The root system will develop and function best when kept within a specific temperature range and a good grower will monitor this closely, just as they would monitor and regulate air temperature. All parts of the plant are interconnected and nutrient issues can occur in plants that are being fed properly if the root zone temperatures stray outside the correct range for too long. In the end, there are two different and entirely separate environments that a plant lives in, and a good grower will pay close attention to both.

Yup and they went in the same way so I know it was the same ass hats. And I know what ass hats.
Wih 100 psi dont think trust a tubeless

G...its really really hard to see nails sticking up out of the ground....or inside the house right under a window,that will slow em down!


this is for the mountain bike,much lower tire pressure,the road bike tires run at 120 psi so they tend to fail in very spectacular ways....

Unc, even worse is with sutch a small tire you ether suc and have bad luck or you are aiming for said nail. Witch 1 are you? :D

Just think before ya react G .... you don't need the police involved in anything again !!!

I second that G. I know your first instinct is to fuk them up, but think it out first. Remember, if you violate probation, you not only get sentenced on the new charges, but your original sentence is revoked, and you are then resentence on the ORIGINAL charge(s) in addition. And I can tell you first hand, Vioation hearings are no joke. They usually smack you much harder than your original sentence. So if your original sentence was 3 years probation, and your original charge(s) carried a possible sentence of 10-20 yrs prison; they usually sentence you to at least 2-4 yrs. Even with a good lawyer, Judges take it personally when you violate them. (Did I mention you have to have your violation hearing with the same judge you violated?) The usually say something like, "If I didnt give you jail time the first time, that was me giving you a break. And you fucked me. So what am i gonna look like if I give you another chance and you fuck me again? Screw me once, shame on you. You WILL NOT screw me twice." Something like that at least.
Just be careful is all im saying brother.:tiphat:

So you just use it for the water mostly. Got ya. In my old/current room, the low temp hit 58 or 59 every night. Even when i switched the "lights on" schedule to night. And i couldnt really safely add heat. My plants turn all kinds of pretty colors, but i think the vast temp differential made my plants stretch. I hear in commercial greenhouse, they keep the temperature diff at ZERO degrees. SO if its 78 in day,its 78 at night. I think what Philithy does is prolly perfect, He keeps it a consistent 76/68. Id like to be close to that.


And thats for that root zone info. Very helpful. So was ED Rosenthal a member here??

The cold water will slow the growth down ... not make them stretch . the stretch may have happened if the RTZ was cold & the lights were a little to hot .... the branches closer to the lights were suckin up the heat & stretching for it . but the root zone & majority of the growth would have been slowed way down .

getting a room dialed in is ALOT more than just temps in the room !!!!! ALOT more :)

its like my own personal bike curse,been like this for years...i go for a year with zero tire problems then bam bam bam,three in a row,never fails....
shit no,for an old guy im a frickin wizard on a bike,im not out there shredding the trails by any means but im an above average cyclist in terms of bike handling skills...i can go for months at a time without even unclipping from the pedals at stop lights or signs...i just balance...

I meant air temps. I hand water, so i dont have any rez's to worry about. But i see your point. It could have been other stuff causing them to stretch.

not so much anymore with the climbing,i have some pretty serious bouts of shoulder pain as it is,and i still dont have a partner to climb with so havent been super motivated to get fit for it....kind why all the focus on riding lately,need an old man sport to keep me fit...im getting to the point where i should really have someone to ride with since im going out pretty far in the desert some days....always good to have partner for that stuff...

evening gents :tiphat:


Time to puff & pass some brainfreeze around the table .... oops i mean bike shop :)

:smoke out:

all i did yesterday was trim,still have some to get to but i avoided it for today,10 hours was enough...looks like i should get 30 oz out the door off the glue/cookie scrog,there was a bunch of larf this time...need to do a better job on my pruning in early flower...hacked out a bunch of stuff last night,should be a tighter round....looks like the big 45 gallon pots hold water for a few days,gonna try one more glue in a 20 with less veg time and another in a 45 but what im finding is the really big plants i just end up snapping branches trying to get them in the flower room...may be better off with the 20's until i get the new room built with a 6 foot wide door....
