Had to turn on the heat last nite for the first time ! Got down to like 58! Holy shit cold!

Anything under 70F is C.O.L.D!

You Texans should be growing in a greenhouse! Hell, if I can do it with our cold spells and night temps of mid 40's you guys could be killing it.

I want to go hunting so bad but the state of delusion, I mean cali would arrest me for hurting the animals feelings. I really can't take much more of their, and my fellow Cali's for electing these idiots.

Let's take a vote, best new grow diary? I vote for this one!!!

Try living in Wyoming u can get all the seasons in 1 day when I lived there 2008 June 6th..We had 80° weather then we had a tornado..Then had golf ball size hail and then had a blizzard that dropped 10in of snow in less than 2hr and then it was 70 again with 40mph winds it was crazy never seen anything like it

Like how u run ur cloner in the middle of ur veg setup I have as well done that in mine but I have less room between so I put mine on top but works great anyways...
How do u like the green silicon tubing vs the reg airline is the silicon in the bucket as I have read they don't get hard and crusty lil the reg ones do? As I may pick some up for my leader lines in the buckets

Yeah the silicone works well and stay quite a bit cleaner. I was thinking of try the black tubing for Co2. I don't have to much issue with any. The nice thing about the silicon is it stays pliable unlike the others.

Let's take a vote, best new grow diary? I vote for this one!!!

only problem with that is every structure dont matter,every structure is taxed,chicken coop,little house to put over your well ,even a little dog house type thing to put over your well head,every structure is taxed,that is why i havent,on the other hand a feller about 2 miles from me use to run a garden center and went bust,just a skelton of most all his house standing there,if i can ever talk to his ass at the feed store,i might try to swindle one them frames from him,commercial grade made from 3in round tubing frame hahahah,id pay that tax for that structure,in texas there is still law for stealing cows and horses and hanging is the penalty ,believe it freinds you dont just walk up on folks property,if there is a closed gate on the drive,turn and leave,we like or privacy and it better have a warrant to come in ,no joke,the old fart comes in about once a month and would probsally let me ave the damn things dont know lately he just been having his hay delievered,probally run into trouble like i did recently,love your pets but body dont love you kind thing.
i have deer that beat down these green houses is see here local,ya got to do bullet proff or nothing hahahah

The black tubing for co2 has holes in it FYI so it specifically would not work...I have some black 1/4 tubing and it will get brittle too so the silicone is pry the way to go for airlines ..I only use 1/4 tubing inside my buckets only the rest is 3/8 lldpe line then goes to my 1in

No the black tubing for Co2 is not gas permeable. That's why it's used for that.. the silicone and plastic ones are to a very small extent.

Indiva710 · Nov 26, 2019

The co2 tubing I have and the black tubing I have look the same and feel the same but not sure if they are for sure but all I know is the black airline tubing I have for my 12in leader lines in my buckets I have had to replace like the others now it takes more time so they last longer but still get stiff and brittle with time...Which is why I run leader lines in my buckets so I don't have to replace all that tubing when it's only what's in the bucket..
I use push in unions is what they are called but they are more like a push in bulkhead but are not water tight but could be with a gasket...And they have lots of sizes and can be different from each side as for my veg tent I have 3/8×1/4 and then tee them off in the bucket for 2 air stones and it works wonderful

Yeah you can sometimes find silicone by the foot. I feel it's a good option if your using leaders.

Indiva710 · Nov 26, 2019

I think I would rather just buy it like 25ft and be good for quite a while however I have tons of the blue and black airlines so I'll just use what I have no point spending money on more of pretty much the same thing as at some point they will need to be replaced regardless and no biggie to do so when I clean my system anyways u know esp with leaders..The unions are just a nice touch and much cleaner than barbs and a uniseal or none at all plus a push in fitting is much easier to remove and I have arthritis in my hands so easiest is best for me ya they cost like x3 a barb does pry but we'll worth it esp with lldpe tubing

Yeah same ones used on RO units. I used then a crap ton over my time.... Mostly in pneumatic applications like yours for control of actuators etc.. way better and reusable unlike the old ferrule connections

Indiva710 · Nov 26, 2019

Yup correct I don't use the safety clips as they aren't needed for my use...However if I decide to go with a hpa setup the clips would be a must have then...As saving 90% water would be lovely that's for sure...

Just went to grab some beans for my buddy that's taking my 2 left over citrol sledgehammer since I can only have 4. He wanted the hyper glue. Just figured I would let anyone know looking for beans GK genetics on promo 30% off.
