Found a small like 4"x4" patch behind the chiller that had mold on the wall in the veg room.

Looks like just surface mold.

Is there a large chance this made its way behind the dry wall and what is best to clean this up?

It's gotta be recently formed. I haven't seen mold there ever or downstairs. But now with the exterior door it gets hot and humid in there.

not sure how you'd check behind unless you have one of those lighted scopes. bleach in a water spray bottle should kill what you can see. i've always heard it's what you cant see is the big problem

I use this simple green 3 in 1 to clean up in the room. Kills fungus, bacteria, and viruses. Super concentrated, so it lasts forever. Been using it a long time in the house in general, works great.

Yeah im not aure how it got there.

I did have a beer rhere bwfore i moved the chiller over the spot. Perhaps condensation from the beer and then covering it
Hasnt spread. Ill try that green stuff.

Opened my jars on the Blue OG yesterday and it stunk so bad. Was at 65% so I let it air out some. Fell asleep and woke up 4 hours later and man shit got dried quick.

Jarred it back up and now its 54%. The smell is faint now as well. Think I screwed this batch up. Imma bust the humidifier out and let it sit in a 70% room for an hour and maybe it will remoisten.

Been busy with the holidays, but finally got around to fitting up the rdwc. Now to tie it into the control bucket and tie the chiller into it.

it doesn't look like i'll have enough room to fit the control bucket between the table and the wall so i'll have to abandon having the chiller on that ledge. Which is probably for the best since I haven't figured out a way yet to route the lines to and from the chiller. I was planning on screwing a 2x4 to the ledge face to support the chiller so I could push the chiller off the ledge a bit so where the inlet and outlet of the chiller would run along side the ledge face instead of having to jog it out. If that makes sense.

I wish I had a 2x4 table instead. Shit would work so much nicer.

Or maybe I should just stop trying to find a use for it and sell it since I haven't used it in almost 4 years and do dwc veg.

I hear what you are saying. I don't think 54% is too low. Let it stay in there, I'll bet it will bounce back. I like the boveda packs to help out once rh is somewhat stabilized. I use 1 pack per 2 oz (they recommend per 1 oz, but I think it's too wet). Right now I have everything in the tent and sealed up. rh outside is 20, inside the tent is 35, so it's helping a little. It's hard to dry properly in these low rh climates. After 72 hrs, I'll put them in a plastic tub with the lid on till they get all wet again, then hang them out till they crisp up again. After 48 hrs, the outsides are already a little crispy! low rh sucks!

Been a while since an update.

303 tester grape ape x yeti (x1). the other one broke so i only got one. hopefully its female.

SAM_2987.JPG SAM_2985.JPG
303 tester platinum gsc x yeti (x2) ones shorter, not sure whats up with that. oh well. perhaps 2 different phenos and hopefully both female.

Pipedream clone, it grew way too big to flower so I chopped it and saved 5 clones which got plucked to make room for seedlings. The seedlings are 303 Dank #5. Not sure its lineage.

SAM_2995.JPG SAM_2983.JPG
So I made a new cloner, for seedlings due to the spacing. I stupidly wanted to drill out the indented center and realized I only had 9 spots instead of the 10 I wanted. I totally could have space the middle better and got 2 extra slots. Maybe 3 if I pushed it to a square pattern instead of a triangle.

In this cloner is the only 3 Girl Scout Cookie Haze (SSSDH x GSC) that made it. The RW cube dried out so not sure the one in it would survive now. Its chances were already slim. The one that broke isn't wilted over after 48 hours, so thats a good sign. Still is void of chlorophyll due to its recent life instead a plastic bag.

And some root porn(blue buckets are the gsc x yeti). Wish I had some bud porn, but those 303 testers are flower ready right now. They look healthy at only 1.0 EC starting feed. I think I may tweak tty's formula and add only like 7/8th or 3/4 the amount of calcium nitrate.

What do you guys think, does that look like too much nitrogen? Or too little phosphorus? The big fan leaves have this sort of blueish dark greenish tint. I get that a lot. Used to get it even more when I was running a 3-1-2 like DG Foliage Pro.

very fucking nice.
Thanks man.

All that root growth is in the last couple weeks. I chopped the roots from cloner to buckets. Plants looked rough at first, but with some TLC bounced back.

The grape ape will yield, the pgsc not so much but the shit gets insane frosty. The pipe dream also does well.

I wish the other one didn't snap. Sucks I only have one. Free seeds are free seeds though. When I make it out to Denver i'll have to buy you a bottle of anejo.

Looks really nice! What are you using for your roots? They look fantastic.
Thank you. Good genetics. Just tap water and nutes. Uninsulated floor in winter helps. I think I did put a bit of hydroguard in there when they first started growing roots.

For my recirc I will use a 1/3HP inline chiller.
