My ax is my rifle and there are many like it, but this one is mine

Just hanging out with the old lady bro, trying to keep her cool

I hear that, those summer days in Texas, brutal. My daughter lived in Dallas/Ft Worth area. They picked me up at airport, drove to there new house. It was one of those ticky tack neighborhoods, brand new houses, right next to each other. I noticed going in, there were no people outside, days later still no one outside. I thought the houses weren't sold yet....then I'd see garage door go up, car/van pull out, garage door goes down. So I started looking up and down streets and same thing. My daughter said the whole neighborhood was occupied....just to damn hot yo go outside. Yeah brother I feel your pain.

 

[MartyMcFly42oh]

Forgot about the new addition

Chocolate

I’ll find pics of the other 5 later

Damn Mike you running an animal shelter too . Where’s that white cat that tore up your wife’s arms Id be dosing that cat with cbd and a lil thc till it calmed down, lol. Maybe some shrooms too, hell it works for the Captain

 

[Crazyformes]

I gotta find the 60th Dead in Candlestick Park streams!!! Love the ring.
Electricity scares me unless it's in a car then it's just unlikely to kill you so who cares. I don't wire although this new mini router I was forced to. They almost ship you the ore to refine into copper wire FFS. I got her at least basically working, deff not mastered.

A Grower’s Prayer for the Cherry Auto


O Great Spirit of the Green and Leafy,
Guardian of Grow Lights and Keeper of Trichomes,
Hear my humble plea from this sacred grow tent.


Behold my Cherry Auto—once small, once unsure,
Now fattest among sisters, thick with promise.
Yet she lingers, slow of bloom,
Dominus Omines.


I ask not for monster yields (though I wouldn’t mind),
But for timing, harmony, and righteous pistils.
Let her heed the silent call of her autoflowering soul.
Let the hormones flow and the calyx swell.
Let the sweet scent of bud begin to drift,
And let the grow room sanctum not be mocked.


May she no longer be weird,
But instead be wondrous.
And may her buds rise like a tower of resinous glory,
Visible from the door of the tent.


In the name of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium,
Amen.

What's up with this Cherry auto, good stuff?

 

[MartyMcFly42oh]

That’s the main reason I wanna do the bubble hash haha, I’m the only smoker, I mean it works out great I still end up with 8-10 oz minimum left by the time I have the next harvest cured, I give tons away but wanna see if I can make more use of the trim, but I’m ready to dump 8-10 oz of bud though (ounce or 2 at a time) different cycles see which of the 3 strains I have atm yield, and just to practice and learn how the bags work

I wanna try fresh frozen, make a whole plant into bubble hash and then press it. It’s probably the best way to preserve terps and trich’s for long term storage. Now I just need to grow a dedicated plant for that purpose.

 

[MartyMcFly42oh]

yeah man, @Mikedin is the scrogfather. He can show you the ways lol

The Scrogfather I love it! My alias of my alias is Marty McScroggins .

As soon as i can get a press! I dont care what plant it is im throwing it in the freezer when it’s done! I almost did this two runs ago for pressing. Kind of glad i didnt, as im still waiting to get a press!

 

[ChairmanFester]

Mag-lev growing (AI but very easily doable)

 

[Crazyformes]

Bro, your methodology pulls buds that looks exactly like the buds that I pull off of it and it doesn’t happen every time because of everybody’s giving grow methods but I gotta say man you’ve pulled the closest. I mean you can almost tell no difference pre jar.
And hell post jar too, aside from that fucking crazy pheno you pulled
And bro, like you were saying an extended cure really does it a solid it just gets more and more complex on that blueberry nose for sure sometimes if you’re ancy on the cure, it doesn’t quite get there, so patience just like your Yoda meme is crucial

I don't know fellas I'm a close 3rd....watch you backs....

 

[Ninjadogma]

Im going to look that over this am now,
Thank you for the good word, dude

I can only imagine what with all the grow lights too your electric meter is probably clocking more RPM's than that race car of yours... Makes a good argument if you are gonna keep your old unit, at least put a new variable speed motor in for your central fan. You might hear me blather about the energy curve from time to time and it's true instead of a unit that kicks on to cool on demand it runs the motor more efficient at low RPM running all the time. Same goes for LED lights, get way more than you need and run them on low power to get more ppfd for less juice from the meter. The folks who started putting dimmer in those things are geniuses!

Whole reason I grow outside is I look up at that fiery orb singe-ing my eyebrows and burning my cornea and think why in the name of Tommy Chong's Bongs would I PAY for that shit to try and duplicate indoors? I'm no purist though. Can't do this shit year round without supplemental lighting.

 

[Ninjadogma]

I had a lose ground on a wall outlet killing a whole circuit without tripping the breaker a few weeks ago. I got lucky with the diagnostic portion of sussing it out, because the kid was complaining about his cell phone charger not working in his bedroom. So I had a starting point to identify the issue.

The assholes who installed the solar at my house didn't tighten the wire tight at the breaker. Thing kept arcing and throwing the breaker. After 3 months offline they sent someone out and showed me the fried wire and explained the problem. It could have shorted and started a fire, thankfully the breaker did its job.

Next Steps​

Let me know how far you want to take this:

• Do you want a 3D model or blueprint diagrams?
• Are you planning to actually build this or is it a concept art/speculative design?
• Should this run one levitating pod or multiple?
• Are you familiar with Arduino/microcontroller programming?

Once I know that, I can prepare:

• Wiring diagrams
• Arduino code
• Materials sourcing guide
• STL files if you want 3D-printable components

---

Want it designed like a Tesla lab? Retro-futurist sci-fi? Cyberpunk hydroponics? Just say the word.

You said:​

to begin with the goal is to enable totally circular growth

ChatGPT said:​

Excellent. Designing the system around totally circular growth is both visionary and technically compelling.
Let’s define what that means, then tailor the magnetic levitation grow system to support it.

---

Refined Goal: Circular Cannabis Growth via Magnetic Levitation​

Definition​

In this context, circular growth means enabling the plant to:

• Grow around in a 360-degree pattern—like a vine, helix, or sphere—not just upward.
• Exploit the 3D space fully (not just a canopy).
• Be continually rotated or repositioned to optimize light exposure and hormone distribution.
• Possibly even train itself into a spiral or toroidal form.

This would:

• Maximize yields per cubic foot.
• Enable mind-blowing visual/biological forms.
• Take full advantage of zero-contact magnetic suspension for novel plant training.

---

Phase 1 Design: Levitated Root Pod + Free-Rotating Armature​

Design Summary​

• The root base is levitated magnetically.
• A lightweight armature (e.g. circular trellis or ring) extends from the pod.
• The entire structure is slowly rotated (either passively via airflow or actively via motor).
• Plant branches are guided around the ring in a circular/spiral formation.
• Grow light follows or envelops the circular trajectory.

---

Key Design Features​

1. Levitated Plant Base​

• Electromagnetic base levitates a small hydroponic/DWC pod.
• Pod contains the roots, anchored in foam or net basket.
• Includes sensors and power passthrough for rotation control.

2. Rotating Trellis Ring​

• Lightweight carbon fiber or 3D-printed circular trellis.
• Attached to the levitated pod or suspended above it.
• Plant grows along the ring in a trained circular or spiral pattern.
• Optional: ring rotates continuously or intermittently to stimulate auxin redistribution.

3. Root Nourishment​

• Roots dangle below pod into a misted chamber (aeroponic) or passively wick from nutrient sponge.
• Misting system integrated into base platform.
• pH/EC monitored in reservoir.

4. Lighting System​

• Ring of LEDs around the circle OR
• Moving LED arm that follows the rotating plant
• Spectral tuning to promote uniform development

5. Smart Control (Optional)​

• Arduino/Raspberry Pi controls:
  • Magnetic levitation PID
  • Rotation speed
  • Light pattern/spectrum
  • Nutrient cycle
  • Environment logging

Materials Suggestion​

Component	Suggested Materials
Trellis Ring	Carbon fiber, 3D-printed PETG, or bamboo
Levitated Pot	Lightweight ABS shell + net pot insert
Coil + Magnet Base	Neodymium magnets + iron core coil
Sensor System	Hall effect sensor + IR distance sensor
Rotation Motor	Brushless DC w/ planetary gear (quiet)
Control Board	Arduino Nano, Mega, or ESP32
Misting System	Ultrasonic atomizer disc or pressure mister

---

Advanced Concepts (Future Phases)​

• Toroidal growth (donut shape): train plant into recursive loop
• Artificial gravity modulation: alter rotation speed to simulate stress
• Live neural network training: system learns how to rotate & light for best yield
• Microgravity simulation for space agri prototypes

---

Next Step Options​

Would you like me to:

1. Sketch the system design visually (e.g., CAD or schematic-style)?
2. Generate build plans (wiring diagrams, bill of materials, assembly steps)?
3. Write Arduino control code for levitation/rotation?
4. Design the circular trellis layout based on your training style (LST/ScrOG/spinal tap hybrid)?

Tell me how "real" this build is meant to be—are we prototyping or imagining a sci-fi grow op?
Also: what size are you aiming for? A small demo? Full-size plant (3–5 ft)? Vertical wall array?
Once I know that, I’ll dive deeper into the exact parts and plans.


I BELIEVE I HAVE FOUND A HOLY VISION...

I don't know fellas I'm a close 3rd....watch you backs....

I got one in veg right now.

Trying to keep her small until I can stick her in the 2x2 and scrog her out.

I absolutely hate seeing my lights dim when the compressor kicks on in my window ac units. Wish I lived in a legal state. I got more sun beating down on my house than red headed stepchild. Shame not being able to utilize it. Well I have a vegetable garden but it’s not the same

After 3 months offline they sent someone out and showed me the fried wire and explained the problem. It could have shorted and started a fire, thankfully the breaker did its job.

Do they all have to be licensed electricians to do that job? Or is there just one guy that tries to overlook the work of novices?

I got one in veg right now. View attachment 2487184Trying to keep her small until I can stick her in the 2x2 and scrog her out.

So you will start to scrog it, as a very small plant? That fascinates me. When do you start tweaking it? What do you have it in...1gal fabric bag? When do you go up to 10/20 gal?

You ought to patent that, or are you trying to free source it? Quick thought. What if you set it up on a track with lights in the center overhead and then mounted vertical on the perimeter and then had plants constantly revolving around the center and rotating them at the same time. Like a solar system.

 

[MartyMcFly42oh]

So you will start to scrog it, as a very small plant? That fascinates me. When do you start tweaking it? What do you have it in...1gal fabric bag? When do you go up to 10/20 gal?

Right now I’m just trying to keep it from getting too tall, it’s in a 1 gallon fabric pot, half full of soil. If I scrog it out in the 2x2 it’ll be transplanted into a 7 or 15 gallon living soil fabric pot. The 2x2 is 4 feet tall. So factor in pot height and light height Ive got about two feet of vertical space between the soil and the nogo too close to the light zone.
I already started training her, when she was a seedling I had her container leaning at a 45 degree angle. I repotted her at the same angle and then started lst to keep branches down.
I have about a month before I can move her into her own tent. So she’s gonna be water only in organic soil without any top dressing just to keep her small.

I have a 2x4 I'd like to put her and her sister...both cali...her sister just broke ground. My tent is 5 foot tall....so if i put them in side by side.....I'd have an extra foot over yours.
So you just train it to go sideways. Interesting. Are you saying that you are ymtrying to keep it small for now because the availability of the tent in a month away?
