Thanks for the insight. I'm an electrician so I've got loads of black tape. Easy little preventative measure. No leaks so far
Thanks for the insight. I'm an electrician so I've got loads of black tape. Easy little preventative measure. No leaks so farIf it's leak proof I would leave it but just wrap it with some vinyl electrical tape to keep the light out. If it ever leaks then you can swap it out with black vinyl hose.
I ran a 30 gal reservoir, located outside next to my tent, pumping nutrient through a drip distribution head to watering rings. The line I had running from the reservoir to the drip head was clear vinyl half inch line. I was gone for 6 weeks and when I came back the clear line was green. The part of the line from the reservoir to the tent entrance wasn't AS green as the the part that entered the tent but there was enough even in that low light area for me to replace the line.
If you're running a sterile setup it might be ok since you usually run H2O2 in your feed water so that should keep your algae at bay but if not then I would consider wrapping it or replacing it.
Cool! Might hit you up with some electrical questions at some point if you don't mind.Thanks for the insight. I'm an electrician so I've got loads of black tape. Easy little preventative measure. No leaks so far

Crazy right? It does all the work once you have all the parameters set. I have the 67 and I like how I can keep a tight temp range.Right now, it holds a solid 72% at 80°. The AC that will feed the intake room should be able to bring the temperature down. The little humidifier just adds steam to the room so I have a fan blowing it down.
I also set the light schedule to 18/6 so we'll see tonight how everything does with a dark cycle.
So far I absolutely love the Controller 69. I'm sitting here in my living room smoking dabs and doobs and watching and tinkering with the environment in the back closet. How bout that.
I have always used those peat pellets to start my seeds. I have never had any issues with net pots and clay pellets--guess they dissolve into the water. Do not leave the lid on there or you will drown your seedling/seedThe actual RO system should arrive middle of next week. That's all I'm waiting on currently, so things are about to take off. Once it's installed, I'll be giving the whole operation a good cleaning; tent and tubs, adjacent rooms.
Then I'm going to cycle some nutrients, get some readings and keep a close eye on the meter.
While this is going, I'll also be germinating a seed or two. Here is where I have a question.

They had these at the local garden supply for pretty cheap so I grabbed one a while back. Since the tent is a controlled environment, can I simply place the tray in there without the dome, or is the dome necessary in some way? Can I just throw the peat pellet in the netpot before she sprouts, or wait to see some green? I do understand that it goes into the peat pellet after germination, but this is something I was thinking about.
Can you go into a little more detail on the sponges and the method?No dome.
I can't say about using the jiffy pots in nets?
I bought sponges to start in?
Oh word. I planned on germinating in a dvd case to get the vertical root growth. I guess if that's what I'm doing, the little gal just goes right into the hydroton, and never touches the peat pellet? Didn't really think about that origanllyI ordered 'aero grow sponges 'in a kit.
They came with little plastic nets to go into areo gardens or hyydro.
I have not used them yet.
I plan to germiate seeds in the sponge I think.
