New Bloombox owner [strain choice & portable AC choice]

[o2much4me]

Hello everyone. I saw a Bloombox when I was in Vancouver. I see a lot of people here having good luck w/ them. A Quality design in my opinion.

I havent decided what strain I want to try as of yet so any ideas / experiences I look forward to discovering.

I am researching Sunpentown portable AC units as well so any feedback on them is appreciated.

Thanks 420Magazine

Welcome to 420 Magazine

I love watching the Bloombox journals. Profit ran a great one and so did Ms.Fox

Sorry I don't have any experience with that brand of portable AC, but you might want to repost that question in the Grow Room set up Forum

Thanks, Yes I read Ms. Fox's grow. She did real good for a 1st Hydro grow. I think her clones would have done better if the actual cut {w/ new sterile razor blade} would have been made underwater An embolism or bubble of air block the transpiration stream does cause it to wilt. Always place tip in warm not cool water very quickly anyway so stem sucks water not air, underwater cuts avoid this possibility. {Old School technique via Robert Connell Clark} Also I do not subscribe to the idea of switching hours back & forth, not that it cannot be done but a clone should be taken in full veg cycle detailed & labeled, then if your confident in your cloning technique you go to 12/12 with the other plants. Sex labeled clones according to what your labeled flowering plants are doing and your needs. Also I saw her problematic root challenge which I think "maybe" was due to her ac going out (not sure of timing) and it might not have ever happen, other problems at the end were definately due to the high temp. There are Products / techiniques to prevent or treat root probs as well and these worked for her to recover & save as you know. I can't remember if she used a TDS meter ($50 eBay) this would have helped alot with the possibility of over nutes. I am not sure why she had so many males there are so many varibles that could contribute to this it would be a conjecture. As thread shows seeds do need deluted nutes in cubes after gremination sprout (in hydro) I wonder if this might have been A cause. Using just Ph balanced H2o to germinate & take clones works. [back in the day rooting powder aka rootone F was all there was, much better stuff out now ]. For a First Grow inside a BB well the end results speak for themself. I would like to add that she did a super job with the journal and I bet many learn from it including me.
