MY BREAKING BAD MOMENT

[canadaseed]

all the best on your grow are congrats for beating cancer.. like some others said watch your enirovental toxin exposures eat well rest well and gets lots of fresh air. The only people i know who put the dollar sign after prices are Montrealers!! ;)

How will you manage the top of the canopy?

Get a humifider ASAP! I run the ultrasonic 12 disc foggers, you will need two 12 disc foggers. Mainlandmart has the best deal, buy 4 or more and get wholesale pricing.

I've been running the cheap 1 hp leader pumps for watering.

Even harbor freight has some if it's a semi temp install.

@Billyboat
Yea man plants are looking sad from the 5 days of 30-35rh. I bought the 12 disc fogger from mainland as u suggested. But I only got 1 for now. Did u suggest 2 because u can't run then continuously (per mainland, shouldn't run more than 4 hr on 30 min off due to them heatin up and weakening the internal seal) or because I need 2 for my size room 15x23x11cieling?
Did u set urs up like @ghettogrow ?

Dim the lights or only run a few until they transition, otherwise they will lock out trying to keep up with the enviro.

You will need two due to room size, I have 3 foggers in each of my 12-14k rooms.

My foggers don't run the whole time as they are controlled by iponic controller.

Ya man, notify your shop. There is a recall on a batch of these fixtures because their bulbs are all blowing.

 

[WiseGorilla]

Oh boy, thanks for that info @GR33NL3AF do you know if that also applies to the E-series or just one batch of the D? I may have used the wrong terminology but I mean the ones that come with the controller as the E series.

Sorry guy's it wasn't Gavita, it was Philips bulbs that were blowing specifically..

jus a quik update; so when i moved the plants from the veg to flower room, i was in a hurry. I put the plants in there without running the run full tilt to adjust the environment and as a result, the humidity dropped down to 25-30rh and I think i ran the lights to hot( i went frm 600 mh to 825 De) even though the lights were 5 ft frm the canopy, the plants got fried and this set me back bout 10 days.
to correct this i built built a humidifier like @gettogro using a 12disc fogger, it works great. also I dropped the feed 30% and dropped the lights to the 600w setting. plants have rebounded are doing alot better.
I have also installed my Gavita el2 controller(bad ass peice of equipment) when i can afford it, ima buy a couple ecm relays to hook up other equipment to it like my co2 and dehumidifier. for now Im running the room at 75-77 60ish RH 1000ppm CO2.
This weekend I need to put up my trellis netting and hook my dehumidifier to a night time controller because my RH spikes to 99rh at night. after that i should be ready to filp this room by early next week. i wont be able to install a fertigation system this round so ill be hand feeding with a wand and 25ft hose.
below is some pictures of when i fried the plants and a week latyer after they rebounded.

they were looking real bad for a week there

sad sad sad, its been a while since ive seen any of my plants looking like this so it threw me back and i was really mad at myself for allowing this to happen.

great solution for the humidity issue. cost bout 225$ altogether, but i am gonna redo it with a 27 gal tote because it runs through that whole container (18 gals) per day, i need at least 2 days without having to refill it.

humidity starting to do better

and the next day, right where i wanted to be.

bout 5 days later things r staring to look better

my new toy. really like this controller but i hate having the extra wires on the cieling, a wireless feature would have been cool. mabe the nanos with their controller are gonna be a better option than Gavita.

if you guys or girls got any questions/suggestions, im all ears.

this is what im used to the health of my plants looking like:
my 4k room ready for the flip.

[Billyboat]

Looking real good brotha.

Why not set up the humifider on a float valve, just t off from your ro system.

 

[Confuten1]

Man I need to get a tall boy declorinator asap. I'm jus using tap water (250ppm) and the water frm the AC for now. The ac water fills up a 55 gal drum in a few days so I prolly take ur advise and build a float valve off that drum to supply the humidifier. Your new room is nuts man, can't wait to see what u do in there.
By next round, I'll prolly follow ur lead and do tall very plants on the permiter of my room by adding 2k regular bulbs very on each 15ft side of this room, (additional 4k) and pull the Gavitas all the way up and mabe take off the reflectors and put panda on the cieling
horizontal scrog in the middle and very scrog on the edges so no light will be waisted.

I put up the trelis net system using @Capulator string method, except i didnt use a pvc frame. I used cable wires insted. it took a lil bit longer to instal vs. a regular net but im countingh on it being much faster to take down during harvest, when time is of the essence.

I used these bolts to tighten the cabling to the exact tension i needed( this is what gave it rigidity)

i used the cables on both sides and zig zagged string inbetween.

training net almost complete

support net on the top 1.5 feet from training nety and 42 inch from bottom of lights. I will add hooks every 6 inches where the cableing attaches to the wall so I can adjust height as needed.

after this was done i moved plants back in place and started to use the nets to train them.
Ill flip the room this coming weekend.

How will you access the middle above the screen?

How will you access the middle above the screen?

Any problem will be unreachable.
I wouldn't mention it, but I worried those strings might just get in the way.
Don't they need to form a grid to perform their requisite function?

Love the room, not so sure about the screen.

The first screen(training screen) was set at a height that me and my roleable mechanic stool can fit u see comfortably. Plants are now set in rows that aloe me to roll in and out.
From my stool I can reach up to just above the top screen so I can adjust plants as needed or foliar. Thanks for checkin in guys. Any questions or comments are always appreciated.
