GreenThunder Dips Into Hydro

[GreenThunder]

If I had a spot for it (and a small fridge for a chiller) I would build Rider's RWDC system. Probably without the full automation he had but using his blueprints and instructions for sure.

I would love to set up a system like that but on a smaller scale. I'm really going to try to limit my plant number to 3 in the tent, two is probably plenty.

Tina is not laughing today. She’s not happy about spending the day with the little hobby air pump and she’s letting me know.

Fear not, commercial level air flow has returned!

Tote with 3 large airstones and one open ended line…

Bucket with 1 large airstone and 1 open line

Grape Ape clone is not phased by the challenges that Tina is so unhappy about.

Here's the power pump setup, I think it will keep from overheating now. It's outside the closet and sits above the water line...

I turned the humidifier to high last night and it was damn near raining in there this morning...

I thought roots in DWC were supposed to be white. Though I have no experience whatsoever .

Yes, white is ideal for roots in hydro I was able to wash off some of the brown and a small chunk of roots came off. She's a survivor! (so far)

I'm sure Chris can offer help with brightening the roots!

I'm using hydroguard and clear-rez. No z7 available locally but it's on the way.

 

[Chris Scorpio]

That should help for sure

That's a whole week away.... if my journal adds another page by then I'll probably need another reminder I can't remember anything without a device sounding an alarm or sending some kind of reminder. I'm a bit worried about developing Alzheimer's especially after my aunt was diagnosed a year ago. It's still a ways off, if it even happens, but I think about it more than I should

You don't have to wait until the last minute (unless that's your style ). You can go vote now while you're thinking about it.

Oooohhh!! For some reason I thought voting started after the month ended! No wonder I always miss it. I will vote today

 

[GreenThunder]

My votes have been cast! Thanks for the reminder Shed, that was fun

We've had several stretches of sunny weather this summer and today there was a thin wispy high overcast. Not enough to block the sun but just enough to be noticeable and a bit different. Turns out it's smoke from fires in Siberia!!! The smoke crossed the Pacific Ocean to reach Southeast Alaska!

Siberian smoke likely the cause of Southeast Alaska's hazy skies

 

[InTheShed]

Holy moly. Maybe she meant I can see smoke from Russia from my front porch .

[InTheShed]

Most valuable $20 I spent when I started DWC

Works great putting in and pulling out water

I'll mix 5 gal of nutes or just water and pump it in too all the tubs it buckets

Good score!!!

I feel like she looks better but I think it's just wishful thinking

There is a brown spot and why does she look so thirsty?
