Excellent. Thanks for posting.. That's really awesome. I may have missed it somewhere but just wondering why you chose soil over hydro?
hey orange
nice bike and glass,but the girls are beautiful,wish mine looked half that good!
LMAO!
Sometimes I try to put a label or tag on my style of growing and I've come to these conclusions.
My technique is nothing fancy like SOG or SCROG etc. I call it "If there's a spot for a plant, get one in there asap." For everything else my theory is throw enough pasta at the wall, some will stick. If it sticks I keep using it. If it falls, try the next thing. I try to have an open mind when trying new products or techniques and I dont get caught up in this vs that situations. Sometimes the this and thats should be used together in harmony.
For breeding I dont get into it. I dont have the room or time. I'm a cloner and always will be.
I have a great disdain for male plants and it's not uncommon for me to hang them from their little yellow flowered colas, shoot them with a 12 gauge, or replace the soil with a concrete block and throw it off a bridge to go sleep with the fishes. If one of my ladies ever decides to go hermie I'll do like Marcellus Wallace and get medievel on her ass!
LMFAO Remind me NEVER to get on your bad side. Poor guys though. I can't give much remorse for the Hermies though. I despise them also. Keep up the good work man!!!Chillin' with Orangeblood
Below is the Rube Goldberg inspired cooling system I use to beat the heat.
The cooler is a 5 gallon water cooler that I may need to upsize to at least a 20 gallon when it's really hot out. Inside the cooler is a 185gph pump, two water filled frozen three liter bottles, and water to capacity. The pump feeds the Hydro Innovations Ice Box with the ice chilled water. Fresh air is pushed through the Ice Box via a 465cfm blower. The Ice Box air duct continues into the bloom hut where it blows straight up under the steel mesh tables where the plants sit. Doing this assures that the root zone is the first beneficiary of the cooled air.
In test runs so far it has taken 80 degree outside air and cooled it to 57 degrees. I also have to change out the ice bottles every three hours.
The pump and blower are controlled by a thermostat controller set at 80 degrees inside the bloom hut.
nice job orange ! what do you have in line with the duct,looks like a mini radiator. + reps on your inovation , go get them thrips
That's the Ice Box. Hydro Innovations designed them to be attached to reflectors but they can also be applied like this. It basically is a radiator with copper tubing and cooling fins. I've built two homemade versions using HVAC parts, small window unit ac radiators and copper refridgerator tubing. They were crude and did work to a point but I found this Ice Box on Ebay last year real cheap so I snatched it up. It works way better than my homemade contraptions.
They sound pretty nasty and from what I have read can be a royal b*tch to get rid of, miss one and if it's a female it can reproduce by itself and start it all over again! My clone's gonna get tossed when I can figure out how to do it without letting any of the bastards escape (they've been sealed in so long as I don't move anything lol). Good luck and crank that up!
