Good one brosky. Lemon juice is also a antibacterial agent or inhibitor. I used it n my humidifier reservoir to prevent bacteria buildup. What u think?
Good one brosky. Lemon juice is also a antibacterial agent or inhibitor. I used it n my humidifier reservoir to prevent bacteria buildup. What u think?I got a system where I double filter my tap. Once and a while I ph that to make sure it's steady but organic lemon juice is a natural down and baking soda is a natural up. I havent used either in a couple years to adjust. Ph adjusters aggravate me but whatever just use phosphorus in fucking everythingdumbass industry. Anyways jkash info is legit ✌
I don't see why not the only thing is it might leave build up in your humidifier as it contains minerals. But if you don't mind rinsing it once and a while I don't see why notGood one brosky.

Good tip. I periodically check it because we have hard water n it tends to get white so I swap filters frequently and rinse. Kids like the faint smell of lemon n the air as well.I don't see why not the only thing is it might leave build up in your humidifier as it contains minerals.

Nice, it's a win win then. I use distilled personally, but I am looking into a Machine because we run through gallons too often.Good tip.

What type humidifier u have?Nice, it's a win win then. I use distilled personally, but I am looking into a Machine because we run through gallons too often.
Saved it brother. Thank you.I use bottle nutes....
Check out an older thread of mine... well not too old... I did white widow with advanced nutes lineup with promix

Convection?haha an engineer as a hobby not by profession or education!
one fan will definitely do the trick, and honestly may not even need it for the little ones in a dome. Heat transfer and convection should give you enough airflow if you have 2 openings. a small computer fan on low set as your exhaust (blowing out away from the plants will create a bit of airflow in a little space, but there is a formula used to calculate the CFM needed.)
The more bends in your ducting, or filters in your line, the more power needed.
Here's n update on them mimosa autos n other ones. Got n og kush n 3 gal fabric final. Little ones are like week four veg. Gonna transplant two. One from tote n one from 2 gall to possibly 3 -5 gallon. Now look at those mimosa. One is like week five (2 week flower) and the other started flowering a few days ago but stretched like crazy. In addition, u notice anything about them two mimosa autoflowers? I'll wait until I see if someone can see it.
Thanks. Sorry I didn't see your question sooner.Nice job illustrating why it's important to ensure soil stays moist. So should I keep it moist with spray bottle daily?
That's similar to what I've been doing, except I use plastic storage bins. I have three: One for soil that's ready to use, one for soil that's been used and one for mixing. I began with a mix of FFHF and FFOF and then added earthworm castings, rice hulls, coco coir, perlite, etc.Used to do maintenance at a carwash/laundry mat n boss let me get a 55 gal drum. I used it as a dust collector but want to convert into a compost bin. Wanna create an ideal soil for plants. Was thinking on mixing Fox farm happy n ocean forest and then start composting other foods as well as mixing sand humus and so on. I want a good soil especially for white widow. Any thoughts?
Thank you brother. Great post. I generally use the finger method tbh. I've found it a decent indicator. But for small plants I do like the circle, but I'll saturate everything outside my circle (promote root growth) and it works great.Thanks. Sorry I didn't see your question sooner.
Whether you should or not is up to you. Not having completed testing, I shouldn't recommend this method and I don't want to mislead anyone.
I spray once or twice a day. I measure the soil moisture with a probe and check the color of the soil. The color of moist soil is dark brown, and dry soil is light brown. Digging down with a finger is an indicator, too. There's also some guesswork involved.
My plants are in early veg in 5-gallon pots. I started with a well-moistened soil mixture. So far, it's working, but it may not work as well as the plants transpire more. I spray about two ounces of water each time. That doesn't add up to nearly as much as a routine watering would be when the plants are fully grown. I have noticed, however, that the humidifiers don't run as often, and it has been easier to keep VPD within the optimal range.
My main reason for trying a different watering method has been an interest in creating an optimal environment for the mycorrhizae in the soil.
Thank you again. I definitely appreciate the tip about keeping ur compost moist. What % u generally try to maintain? Thank youThat's similar to what I've been doing, except I use plastic storage bins. I have three: One for soil that's ready to use, one for soil that's been used and one for mixing. I began with a mix of FFHF and FFOF and then added earthworm castings, rice hulls, coco coir, perlite, etc.
When starting a new grow, I move enough soil for the grow from the first bin into a mixing bin and add amendments. I don't have a specific ratio. I just mix till it looks good. When I mix, I don't add nutrients. I use 5-gallon pots, so I use 5-gallon buckets from Lowes to measure out how much soil I need. I mix slightly more than I need to use for top dressing nutrients.
After a harvest, I put the just used soil in the used soil bin so it can compost and get ready to be mixed and used again. Sometimes I add defoliated leaves and other organic matter.
While composting, I stir it occasionally and check the moisture level.
