New Moon Over Guawi: A High Brix Journey

[StoneyMemoirs]

Seems I have been talking to myself for about a week here
Not seeing a lot of interest, and only a few visitors.

No need to include all the info. I will only be posting pictures.
If anyone sees something they are interested in hearing about
you will need to ask

Gazoo, My place has been cold and dark as well--worry not my friend, and please, whatever you do, don't stop being you. I know I'm alone when I say I appreciate the details!

Cheers Amigo.

I am sure traffic and comments will pick up when you start flowering. That is the trend I see. People will stoop by during veg but usually do not say much, then once the flower show starts everyone comes running.

Man do I live in the wrong place, you always seem to have great finds... very jelous!

 

[Killerbudz]

Right he must be in hyrdoponic paradise! My area is good for car audio and used lawn equipment if that gives you an indication of the area I live in

 

[Gazoo]

it is the Grow capitol of Cal and there are pages of items for sale
The above items, Full CO2 TANK, regulator, co2 timers and RO system 80.00
and the guy delivered it

Just ordered new filters for the RO (33.00) AND still need a CO2 Drip ring
saw 25 foot roll on CL for 25.00 but dont need that much and still have time
before I need to set this up so will wait for a better deal on the drip ring

80 + 33 = 113 plus i suspect another 7 for the drip ring so maybe 120 total

BTW
Just watched a news report on the law they want to pass.
(Emerald Triangle––AKA where Humboldt, Mendocino, and Trinity Counties ).
Emerald Triangle CANNABIS Label Law, making it a crime to label Cannabis not grown
there with that distinction. Like Wine labeled NAPA has to be grown in NAPA

You can also run a piece of tube to the back of an oscillating fan and skip the drip tubing.

You would not believe the deals I have passed on.
Recently had to pass on a Gorilla Tents 10 x 10 with height extension for nearly nothing
but dont need one right now. Tents are going for less than 100 and can be found for under
50.00 if you wait

Thats actually a better idea since having the tube above the plants is going to cause me
to reposition things in my small tent. Was thinking of attaching the tubing around the outside
of my hps hood but into the fans may be a better solution, THANKS

Your Welcome,

I picked that up in a thread regarding CO2 supplementation somewhere.
Works for me..

Its especially cheap right now thinking all the FIRES put many out of business so there is a glut on
the local market Plus I have just about everything I need so plenty of time to wait and watch
for good deals

One tip though, leave enough slack for changing the tank so you don't pull the hose off the fan.

Thanks for the Heads-up
My poor small fans are going to be buried in tubing

I just re-did my small Humidifier directional release feature
Using the plastic tubing and cheap (thin wall) Cooper tubing
(on sale at OSH Close out sale) in side of tube so I can bend
and adjust the position (copper tubing holds position)

Humidifer release is at front of fans so the addition of the CO2 at the back
should make things interesteing

I saw those soil meters you have when I was searching for the controller on my cobatron.
How are they working, fairly accurate?

 

[Gazoo]

Height adjustable STARTER POT STANDS

Found these on CL 40 for the pair (monitor stand and keyboard stand)
Side by side will fit in my tent and will have the option to raise and lower
as the starter pots fill

Sent offer for 20.00 so we will see

View media item 1606450

Don't think they are going to work out

I put 3 sets of holes on each side of the pots ( top area, middle and bottom)
i can put the soil prob in the holes at different levels to monitor the moisture
on both sides and at 3 levels

Problem is the soil was loosing moisture for about a week but now has started
to go Up ?

SIDE NOTE the root ball temp on the GDP that was nearing 90 deg has finally started
to go down

I really need a scale that wont AUTO SHUT OFF I purchased the shipping scale that
was suppose to not AUTO OFF but it did and once that happens you have to turn
it back on and it resets to ZERO with the pot on it. Very difficult for one person to
hold pot off while it resets, need to figure out a work around probably need to
open up the system and figure out were the auto-off is timed at

Don't remember where I seen this, but doesn't light intensity have to be so high before co2 is effective? Maybe someone more experienced knows..

Yes, you have to MAX out Light before the CO2 will be effective

according to what I have read I am just under the threshold for MAX light but still close
enough to work

Just the 400MH is at 50% of the total MAX but I have another 214 watts of T5s so not
sure but we will see, I can always increase the HID to 600w and at that the temps will
go up but thats OK (WITHIN REASON) with the CO2

Are you at that point with your lights yet?
