    Question about establishing bacterial and fungal life in soil.

    Why don’t you just top dress with ewc or make a tea? Hell, buy a cheap myco and water it in. If you’re super desperate, find a big park with tons of trees. Find an inconspicuous spot where leaves or needles collect (don’t dig up the middle of a grass area) and dig down a little. Odds are that...

    found these things in my coco soil, I don't know what it is.

    Probably just nematodes. Whether or not you want that species is the question. Water with some predatory nematodes and worry no more.

    Sap from Cannabis

    That is called guttation, and it’s not coming from the buds, it’s dripping from the stems and leaves. It’s essentially a sap, and it’s dripping because you’re watering with carbs and the soil is saturated over night without photosynthesis. The bacteria begin to feed on the carbs in the soil...

    Overwatered vs underwatered vs heat stress or combination?

    Planting a soft pot in the ground defeats the purpose of the soft pot. Soft pots are used for air flow and air pruning. Your roots are probably grown out of the bag and into the dirt below. You’re probably overwatering with your buried soft pot. There are 2 different soil mixes, one in the bag...

    I have $200 to use. What quantum board or QB strips should I purchase ?

    How many strips would you need to match the par of a quantum board?

    Refrigerator reservoir

    Saw water temp over 80 all night and into the morning. It’s 77 right now in the garage with 84 water. It cools so slow. I’m running my 7.8l/m air pump at full bore and the pump is warm. Can I take the case off, or drill vent holes to help cool this bastard?

    Refrigerator reservoir

    I love the waterfall idea, but not sure of the feasibility in my setup plans. I’ll try to work it in there tonight and see how it works out.

    Going to bed now, fuck this LOL. I’ll check it when the dog wakes me up to go out.

    Refrigerator reservoir

    Well, my tents intake from the room, so eh LOL. Stuck this in the corner of the garage to test. Will check back in an hour, but I’m wondering if the temp will stay as steady if 65 instead of 81. It isn’t collecting heat quickly, so I wonder if it will shed it at an equal rate. Again, not a...

    Refrigerator reservoir

    I was under the assumption that modified refrigeration setups were more efficient due to their size/cooling power in comparison to a chiller. Why would someone tear down a perfectly good beer fridge to make a chiller that sucks ass? You can’t DIY a more efficient chiller using a refrigerator...

    Refrigerator reservoir

    That was one of my considerations in an earlier post. Just cool a large “heatsink” in the fridge, and run my solution through a stainless wort coil when needed. I think I can fit a 7 gallon bucket in there pretty good.

    Refrigerator reservoir

    That’s the problem I’ve been facing with all these diy grow projects. Sometimes I need to tweak things for my environment or situation and a custom build would do me well, however the hours of research, design, sourcing parts, building, testing, and fine-tuning is just too much sometimes. There...

    Refrigerator reservoir

    I would love to use a freezer for this trial, but it just won’t fit in the room I have. I wanted to try this setup outdoor, but it’s just too damn hot to even bother with it right now. Going to hit 110f this weekend. Glad I called off my work trip. F that. Here is where I stand with this...

    Refrigerator reservoir

    Well I see 2 different routes to take. Either grow a single dwc with the res inside the fridge, or cool a large res inside the fridge and run lines through that res. I could put the coils in the water as your suggested, and run it off a temp controller. I could even stick a 10 gallon container...

    Refrigerator reservoir

    I want to plop a 7-10 gallon container in my 5cu ft mini fridge and grow with the res in the fridge, plant growing through the top. Cut a hole in the top for the bucket and seal it all up so it’s not leaking cold air. The fridge is like 130 watts, and used approximately .15 kWh over the course...

    Best air con for my set up; HELP

    Ok so I hung around the room last night to monitor what was happening once the sun went down and lights came on. Initial temp in the room was around 88 with the damper open and ac on all day set to 79. Central air is pointless in this room, especially an 8x14 (I think) vent, and the designer of...

    Best air con for my set up; HELP

    Not according to the video I posted. Just wondering how much the numbers presented in the video actually matter. It showed the dual hose ac outperforming a dual hose when a heat source was located within the room. The dampers in the room with my tents is closed. I usually run it closed all day...

    Best air con for my set up; HELP

    I guess my question is centered around dual hose vs single hose vs window ac for my particular situation, as related to the video I posted.

    Best air con for my set up; HELP

    Well my air movement doesn’t seem to be the problem, since my tents temps are always close to the temp of the room it’s in. It’s a 2x4 60” tall and a 20x36 that is 72” tall. I thought it was small enough for a 4” ac infinity, but I am traditionally an outdoor guy, so the indoor world is a little...

    Best air con for my set up; HELP

    So here is the layout. There are 2 flowering tents running a max of 550 watts of quantum boards, fans, and exhaust. They are in a 7’x16’ room with 14’ ceilings (almost 1600 cu ft). The tents run from 9pm-9am for temperature reasons. During this time, outside ambient temps can range from 90f to...
