Ya I am relieved now and lovin to watch the lil plants go.I like the plastic knives, my wood Popsicle sticks rot,,,,,,I can see them in my future grows.... You got it now man ...once they are above ground they are hard to kill, water and light with a small feed in 2 weeks they'll grow like weeds.
Looks good, I looked at getting those UV lights but I was kinda talked out of it by a few of the guys on here. I'd like to see how you do with them, I've no experience with them so I couldn't argue the benefits or drawbacks about them. I'll watch and learn. I've also looked at setting up an auto water feed system but that's as far as its gone. I've pumps and tubing & reservoir I just need some connectors, couplings T & Y fittings then the gumption to getter dun....Coming along nicely!
Day by day I get a lil more done
Yesterday did the veg room proper as nothing was really hooked up except the light and oil heater.
Got the exhaust duct hooked up to the chimney and a fan in the tent too.
Also put my humidifier to work again. The cellar is dry usually at 36.
I bent over the flaps on the lower screens of the tent for incoming ventalation but will put in a intake fan as they get bigger.
Then had to adjust the hummy, temp and light (18").
It's all good now.
Now on to the flower tent.
I sqeezed the MarsHydro FC 4800 in there and hung the Spider Farmer UV lights onto the FC4800.
I could not dirictly attach because it is made to attach to a Spider Farmer light so hung it with the provided
hangers which are really cool and worked perfectly. (SF provides 2 ways to hang the light).
This time I put the driver on a stand instead of attached to the light.
The UV lights are cool looking with blue dots in the pic I took.
Next I have to set up the pots and I am waiting for a silicone disk bout a 1/8" round that I lost when cleaning last time.
It is attached to the float and stops the water from flooding.
I sent and recieved one but was the wrong one as their description of the location of that particular one is wrong so
I got the back end one which for some reason is slightly larger than the one I need, so waiting for the 2nd pkg to arrive Mon.
Still I can set up the pots with clay balls and the soil mix with coco coir.
Got 2 new 6" occillating fans in there as well. I believe from Vivosun and Growbuds.
After the pot set up I have to get on the power plugs and where they all go.
I made a map but lost it
I made the decision to buy another set of AP's another 4 pot system but with the smaller 2.2 gal. pots
Hopefully they will fit in there but if not I will use them with 2 of the larger 3.9 gal pots with 12.4 gal reservoir.

Ya I'm kinda an impulse buyer lol Idk if will help cause I think the light that I have already does that kinda.Looks good, I looked at getting those UV lights but I was kinda talked out of it by a few of the guys on here.

I've been wrapping black garbage bags around mine with some duct tape, some of my ducting is pretty old and has a few holes in it, That faux metal covering wears out and its pretty well see through at places so Dollar store bags & tape....Ya I'm kinda an impulse buyer lol Idk if will help cause I think the light that I have already does that kinda.
And I have to set another timer for it cause it's only an hour or 2 per day on, I think.
But they look cool.
I brought the black ducts because all my 4" shinny ones have pin holes in them, I guess from manufacturing them.
I shined a flash light into one of them last grow cause I suspected a light leak from somewhere and whadaya kno
pin holes all the way threw the whole duct.
Haven't been accross since my daughter and her husband came in from California and took them to NF Canada.I've been wrapping black garbage bags around mine with some duct tape, some of my ducting is pretty old and has a few holes in it, That faux metal covering wears out and its pretty well see through at places so Dollar store bags & tape....
Do you ever get across the border? I just measured the distance to the Value Village store on our side of the line and you're about 5 miles from it.....with your dollar exchange shit would be pretty cheap on 30% off seniors day Tuesdays....sht with the exchange it would be almost free.....fans and lights, power bars, timers, cat tunnels, humidifiers, pots, trays, lots of stuff I use in my growing I get there
what method are you using for gemination? Me I always do the paper towel methodAnd the struggles with gemination continue, Hope to get something going soon
I have had success with the paper tower method especially when soaking the seed in a shot glass of water for 24 hrs first.what method are you using for gemination? Me I always do the paper towel method
Awesome, I like the look of the pots...now let see some flowers in them. It looks like a much cleaner grow than with my Promix but I'm stuck in it now...I'm not going to change at this point....I'm just getting the hang of it..If you can get your temps and air right there's no reason you can't grow your meds............ permanent likeThis might be the configuration for this grow, 7 pots,
3 - 3.9 gal. and 4 - 2.2 gal. pots in a 4 x 4 tent
I can fit the heater and if needed a humidirier but
if I need a de-hummy in there I'm in trouble lol.
Winter time is usually dry in my cellar but this grow is starting late
so will go into mid March and hoping the weather will stay cold and dry.
I still need to do the tube lay out and do a test feed of water
to check for leaks or loose fittings or valve failures.
Then load up the pots with clay balls and soil/coco mix.
I don't have enough Airdomes so might use some bubble pipe I have.
I will make do if I can or if I have to order 4 more for $46.
This is what I came up with for my 7 plants.
By the end of Dec they will be in the flower tent, I hope.
Hopefully this grow will produce a bounty like the last one.Awesome, I like the look of the pots...now let see some flowers in them.

Alright a nice start with some fresh babies to look after...too bad about the seeds, that's a first for me. I'll see what I have for another try....I have a bunch of Reg seeds you'll have to sex but a few nice strains....I've some Chemdog, Lambs breath and a few others I can't remember the names of. I find regs a pain and would rather to fems but if you'd like to try a few I've a bunch I'm not using. I don't mind reg auto's because they sex themselves early enough to not take up too much space before they can be culled. Just let me know & I'll try again in better shipping. I've used a pen in the past and shoved the seeds in the body without the ink.Lots to do
I did the air lines and bubblers today.
Attached 8 of em to the one pump which has 4 outlets.
Took awhile but should have used an aquarium pump I had laying around to
take the load off. I got it to work but have second thoughts on the effectivness.
I can always change it and add an extra pump later.
Added the clay balls into the pots and prepared the soil/cocco mix.
Got the soil into the 1 gal pots in prep for transplant.
Also preped the soil as it was 2200 ppm when I checked the water drainage.
A little flushing brought it down to 400-500 ppm.
I still have to figure out the extension cords and plug it all in to the right strips.
All in All it's coming along good.
I will have to use the flower tent for a couple of weeks of vegging tho.
Not enough room in my veg tent for 7 one gal. pots.
Plants are all looking good after I gave them a dose of 400ppm Foliage pro.
Yes they growing like weeds :)Alright a nice start with some fresh babies to look after...too bad about the seeds, that's a first for me.

Okay round 2, fkin posties and they go off the rails? it should be us.......they've lost the fear of public back lash so they can get away with crap service. The guy went Postal should have the opposite meaning....lol....Postal employees behind bullet proof cages just in case some guy doesn't get his parcel in good order and then goes Postal on them !!!.......lolYes they growing like weeds :)
I was ajusting the fan in the tent yesterday and it fell
right on an SB, knocking it over, what a mess, bent the lil one so I put a splint on her
and think she'll be ok. I have 2 SB's cause they are not fem'ed, hoping for both to be
females :) either way my tent will be overflowing.
Ya looks like they took a hammer to them lol
The pen trick sounds good also I have recieved some in a
jewel case between and under the plastic where the CD goes and the cover art in them.
I prob never grew any of the strains you have, up to you if you feel like another try.
I was thinking of an auto grow as I have about 20 Zskittles sitting in my humidor since last winter.
I only grew auto's once and it was a disaster.
But the 4 pot, 2.2 gal AP I just got might be just the thing to use for an auto grow.
