Exaust fan went out - temps hit 102. When I was out watching my daughter perform. No visible damage except some tacoing on a couple of plants.
Tried to calibrate my multimeter and the damn pen was reading 8.2 with the 7.0 calibration solution, wouldn't recognize. Been running my plants in the low 5's for who knows how long. Gotta run into town and buy another.
Is there any recommendations on a favorite pen?

I use to run the cheap yellow ones and store them in the 7 calibration solution I’d buy two at a time to test for accuracy.

The very first lady from my first chuck:
Cbanana s1 #2 x (bluecaliyo x starfighter) The female came from hammerhead gear, the male was from strayfox gear. She is 35 days. Picked off 3 lower nuts around week 3. None have returned. Smells like juicy fruit. No flash:Screenshot_2019-03-04-01-09-56-1.png
With flash:20190304_010624_Film1-1.jpg

Edit to add: I did cull a girl from the same chuck, different mom, tonight. My unknown cookie x went total intersex all the way up at day 15. The other two plants of the same age show nothing.

woo, harvested momma tonight, gonna let it dry for a week and a half or so, then start picking out the beans! do ya'll just tear the plant apart, take all the beans out, and then just save it for personals? or just pick out what you can see and leave nugs intact? any preferred harvesting method? thanks!
I let the flowers get super crispy and then roll/crush them on a tilted tray, let the seeds roll down to the lower side. I don't normally worry about the left overs. I tend to flower small plants or only dust a flower or two, so I don't have a ton of left overs to start with. The first chuck I ever did resulted in enough beans to feed the planet for at least two generations, I toned down significantly after that.

100 ante to bad , 160 will bubble paint tho.

I’m really happy with my blue lab .
I like that it has a calibration reminder.
Or you could switch to mega crop, n stop PHing , it’s always right where I want it .

I have a blue lab and a cheap 80 dollar tds combo meter from amazon, I like the combo meter better and I think if I stay on top of calibration it will be just fine.
I do have a recomendation for an exhaust fan tho...
AC infinity cloudline 9 t6 with temp and humidity set points.

@Bakersfield

What if you where not able to get home?
You should think about adding a fail safe controller like this
View attachment 4293881

(Pretty sure your running DEs)

Once the temps get to hot, it will start dimming the lights , if the temp keeps climbing , it will start turning them off .

I’m going to play with the sun rise n set too.
50-115% to 115- 50%
I know, I could have burnt the house down!
That Gavita controller looks pretty trick.
I need to study up on these controllers.

The Nanolux I use, have an attachment for a controller that you access through an app on your phone. I never gave them much thought, still sort of old fashioned I guess.

6 seedling Black Gold F2s about ready for first up pot and looking hybreed right now. All similar and vigorous.

2 weeks and 4 Copper Chem f2 are not yet showing sex. Nice bushy topped plants are doing well and were up potted couple days ago. Mid hybreed and homogeneous so far. Hoping for 4 girls.

Smoking as in burning Cannabis right now. Sleeskunk F2 very Indica leaning and powerful shit. Lemon and pepper smells and and Skunk. Spacey high! Older complex strain from DNA/Seedsman. Dry mouth is significant when smoked as opposed to vaped.

One SleeMonky (my chuck) at 40 days is small Bush that stinks like cedar and flowers and something else today. Very sticky and frosty with smallish buds that have now begun to fill out. Pistils getting red orange but new ones also.

Something has me very wordy today!
