LMFAO, YES. I've been there my friend. I don't judge though. When I see someone like that I think "I wish I could still do that to myself"

well, I forgot to clean the pump and hoses I plugged up most of the sprinklers. Took it apart, cleaned them out and ran it again. Good to go. I got some dutch masters Zone running in tap for now. figure I will run that through the system for a few hours.


I got a 50 watt submersible heater for the res. For the roots I am going to mount a rope light doubled across the bottom of the tube and put a layer of Styrofoam over it to insulate it to the bottom of the tube.

I don't know man, I think it will keep them warm enough. run the 50 watt all the time and the rope light at night on a timer.

I jerry-rigged a heating pad heater in a jar for a rez once. It worked alright. Then again it was a relatively small reservoir.

would look at using a heating tape (made to keep pipes from freezing) they come in different lenths and wattages
most ropelights are wired in series (like christmas lights) if one goes out they all do

Damn! what a story cruzer. once the neighbors get a whiff of the fish emulsion, I'm sure they aint gonna be complaining about the smell of marijuana anymore and are actually gonna start liking the smell of maryjane as opposed to fish emulsion.. I swear, fish emulsion smells just like rotten pussy! that shit stanks wicked!!! lol

Yea, I saw those but all I could find was with built in thermostat that turned on at 38° I want it around 65°
I found soil cables that work at 70° LINK they are about $30. I'm gonna try the $10 light rope and if it doesnt work I'll go that route.

Thanks for the input though.

that thermostat is a bimetal contact that can be easily bypassed, just so you know

you could then control the temp with something like a heat mat thermostat

how warm does the rope light get? warming the root zone from underneath the tube is gonna be a pain. Unless the rope lights real warm you'll probably have to go with the soil cables (never heard of them myself). I have been thinking about putting the rizer in my tote & add another heater for the water in the tote. I have the rez heater hooked onto the timer for the sprayer 15on/45off. It keeps the 5gl rez at 70 during the afternoon & 60 ish in the early mornings. It's an aquarium heater IF I can get a real rez heater with a thermostat then I will move that aquarium heater to the dwc tote & keep it running with the timer for the sprayers. I really need to get the right timer for the sprayers though, the rapid rooter is staying soaked completely, way too much. i may try 15on/60 off. the root growth is slow... not good.

Oh, good to know. I never did get a heat mat thermostat though. I thought they wanted too much money for them.
That soil cable I left the link to turns on at 70° and is a bit less then what I found the pipe heating cables for.
Best I found them for was $39.95

I dont have a clue as to how warm they will get.
If it doesn't work Max gets new lighting on his patio. I dont know why I do this, LOL I should just buy what I need.
I got an idea for your soaked cubes. water once a day until you see roots. It will let it dry out and then once you got roots they will get there oxygen from them and you can soak the cube and it wont matter. If its a diy setup like mine and you didnt glue the pvc you can twist the pipe so the sprayers are pointing down and just barely hit the cube.

I dont use 2" pots anymore for that reason. I use 3" so I can put some hydroton around the cube to block a direct spray.

I've got the hydroton. just have to clean it up some more. I was looking to get away from using it at all but it appears that it has a purpose once again. Yeah, they are 3" pots. looks like I may be sticking with them too...

lol thx Cruzer!

Cool man, No problem.




So like today I went out and got the last of the blue Cheese out of the shed. Those guys were right next to it yesterday but didn't ask so I didn't tell.
Gonna finish the harvest this weekend.

Check this dude out, Keeping an eye on things.



He was on the set of wires bundled together that runs behind the shed.
Then he turned around for me.



Im not a bird watcher but this guy looked bad ass.
Looks like a falcon to me.

cool pics dude!

could you imagine if those dudes had knocked when you had the last of the blue cheese out trimming it, sounds like a heart atack waiting to happen.

Ha!

That's funny you say that. Yes, I did think of that this morning. Hell I would have had a heart attack and shit my pants.
I think part of the excitement of doing this is it was (and is in many parts) Illegal. So naturally when you see the badge your heart starts beating a bit faster. I'm not a religious man but thank god it wasn't today.

why not have a "Bud-Hawk" for a guard, they use bears in Canada, rofl.

Wow, sounds like you have shitty, nosy-assed neighbors. Maybe they will have a party or something and you can reciprocate and call the cops on them. I still can barely wrap my head around "this is legal???" BTW, my daughter and son in law are coming up in the next week or two and they are going to make me their caregiver so I can grow for them.

Yea, I didn't think to ask who it was. My guess is the neighbors behind the left wall of the green house. The ones who never went into there yard then decided to have yard work done while my girls were finishing. The way the wind blows it makes sense... Yea, the fans in the drying shed were pointed that way to. Oh well, no biggie, I'll just get the smell under control with some charcoal air filters. Either that or get some fish emulsion and pour it all around the fence line, tell them the cop recommended it. LOL

OK, Little update on the harvest.

I'm still at it, Just about run out of jars though.
Here's what I got done so far. 969 grams. Little over 2 lbs. Shes gonna be close to a three pound plant!





Thats about what I got out of Casey Jones. So I'm at 7 lbs and still trimming for the entire grow.
Heres what I got left to trim.





I been told I can fit ten pounds of shit in a five pound bag but this ant gonna happen.
Gonna need more that that one jar there. (a problem I am sure you guys would like to have)

damn man thats what up!!

That was a bad ass hawk, i use to have a red tailed hawk. he got fucked up some how.
so i took him in, then he duced out, but i still sometimes see him. im pretty sure it is at leaste.
but nice harvest cruz. looks like you had yourself a very promising grow.
