    Jungle Cake X Wedding Tree

    I got a seed going on Saturday. Time to get serious.

    Here we go! Got a seed germinating in a Fight Club dvd case. Maybe she'll come out strong and keep her mouth shut.

    The pH drifted up to 6.6 overnight. I think it's due to the 8.0 pH RO water that remained in the plant resevoir getting circulated into the mix. I've added a squirt of pH Down and I'll keep an eye on it. It got pretty cold last night and the res temps dropped to 68 degrees. That's not too...

    Mixing went well enough. I followed GH's light feeding chart and it was pretty accurate as far as ppms. These levels look fine enough to throw a seedling in, so I think I'll start germinating one tomorrow. I don't know about ya'll but I'm pretty stoked 👍

    Hey all. I have a quick question... I want to mark every gallon or every 2.5 gallons in my top-off res. To do so, I'll fill it bit by bit. I have my RO pump plumbed to a spicket in my grow closet. Will it damage my pump to leave it running while I open and close the spicket to fill my gallon...

    I'm just glad I'm not the only one 🤣

    No. I have around 50 total that I bought off of NASC's 2 dollar menu. This is my first go at growing and I've been trying to get as much as I can in order before popping a seed. It took a while for the room to come together but it's been an awesome journey so far. Check out the whole post if...

    Shit's ready to keep an eye on shit. Calibrated pen and probe this evening and that feels like one of my final steps. I'll be doing as much reading on nutrient routines as I can throughtout the week. May even play around with it some. All in all it's looking like I should at least have a seed...

    I just got my system cleaned and ready to go. It's all filled with RO and my pH probes are hydrating. I'll calibrate them tomorrow. I'll be starting my seed either this coming weekend or the next.

    Ok cool to know on the pH. From what I had gathered, I would've had to adjust the pH twice. I should've also added that I'll be introducing Southern Ag's Fungicide and some Hygrozyme. I haven't at all looked into how to get those cultures going. I've still got a lot of reading to do.

    Alright, everyone. The totes and RDWC system has been cleaned and refilled with RO water, 0ppm. I'll have to wait about a day or so before my 50 gallon RO resevoir is refilled, but I plan to start some nutrients in the system. I'll drain what's in the RDWC and refill with new RO, then add nutes...

    Nice. Mine seems to be performing well. There's still a weird glitch between the .9 and .0 decimals, temperature and humidity. This caused my heater to kick off and on this morning when it hovered between 70.9 and 71. Instead of bouncing between those numbers, it bounces between 70.0 and 71.0...

    On a more positive note.. everything ran perfectly today. If I'm feeling up to it, I'll do some cleaning tonight after the little one goes to bed. If not, no worries. As the hurdles and hiccups came, I've gathered some patience. I don't want to rush things. If I can get enough done during the...

    Yeah for sure. I'll delete the heater automation and keep a close eye on the other fluctuations I've been seeing. I'm honestly glad it was mostly user error and the problem was quickly under control. I just wanna take a moment and thank you all for taking up arms and sharing your two cents...

    Well I'm an idiot and should've just checked here first. I can't explain how it ended up doing this in the first place, though. Our toddler doesn't handle our phones and that's a pretty complicated sequence for a pocket maneuver. It still doesn't explain my fan kicking on high after lights off...

    I have a Klein temp gun. I just wasn't sure the offset from surface temp and ambient so I wasn't sure how to accurately judge the difference.

    Spiderfarmer probe on the left AC Infinity on the right Intake fan on high pulling in mid 60's air, exhaust on 10 to vent some humidity. Apparently when I unplugged the controller, the outlets turned on and ran my heater and humidifier with no exhaust 🙄. But as you can see.. the AC probe is a...

    It's running everything but the light. The exhaust fan, heater and humidifier. The heater isn't really necessary though. I'm going back there here in a few when we get our little turd down for a nap. I'll run the SF temp and humidity sensor into the tent to compare the two's readings and go...
