I might actually try the 48 hours of light on a few plants and darkness on the rest and just check trichomes see if there's any major difference

Nice man I have the same lights, 2 together in a 5x3. Love them. What device are you using to monitor the climate

Cheers , I’m using infinity 69 controller.
Forgot to say there doing 9ltrs of water each a day
Holy crap! I'm doing dwc myself and love it so want to do my main tent all dwc. Was thinking of 4 large 40litre totes in an 8x4 or 8x20litre. What size are yours

There 70ltr ish sub irrigation planters wouldn’t do two in that size tent again lost control of my tent a while ago lol first time in sips and the growth rate caught me out tbh hence the state of them they have got knuckles on knuckles from super cropping
Hey if you think that's out of control you should see my abomination. I put 4 in a 5x3 broken stems everywhere
I've only tried the 48 hours dark thing once years ago with whitewidow so id need to try it again a few times fore id have a solid opinion on it idk about resin increase but it would make sense to me that it maybe rather keep more of the monoterpenes and stuff that has a low boiling point vs increase resin so there could be some merit then again it might not

This wasn't money driven originally but it helps now, especially with leccy prices.
I had 2 bags of root balls to recycle.
I hit them off the floor (inside a bag lol) to loosen it up then sieve it with the grill off a 12" fan, I've sieve but the grill is finer.
I've not bought coco in a year+ and I'm stocked with around 250ltr.
With 2x canna being roughly £60 i can well afford the hour or so it take to recycle.
I've recycled it a few times now and I'm still surprised that pretty much a new bag of coco emerges out of they root balls.

I do the same thing. Though few years ago I had coco over 5 years old and threw out 100s of litres when I moved out.
Have a few 16" fan grills about, I ysed to use those old wire office bins but you just can get them anymore.
I do it because otherwise I'd gave to get rid of it.
I see it fly tipped everywhere and I won't do that.
You know canna suggests all you do is cut out your main root mass and pot straight into the same pot with a new plant and slap a bit of cannazym in there .
Never actually tried that though.

The last time I looked into making my own it was screen printing supplies that had decent sized screens in various micron sizes, i remember someone saying they're available on Amazon?
Is there any particular reason you want screens over bags?
Bags are cheap af these days for decent ones and you can get them 100% mesh.
Id start with one of these save hassle then get some smaller screens like say 70 ug to refine stuff
Also bubble is good dry sift is better

For dry sifting what size micron is best for it?
I'm not looking for the ultimate in quality just a decent bit dry sift.
I'm going to make my own I'm just putting a plan together lol.
Depends what your starting material is like some strains have big resin heads some are some are small i do know some use a 70 ug screen after screening with bigger ones first fuck if its only a wee but u can always use static to touch it up n remove any plant material left in takes time but doing that u can get 98% resin heads so defo full melt hash think the general rule if i remember right its 70% and above thats the start of full melt

Drysift should be the different than bubble hash sizes.The high grade catch bag with bubble is the 70.With drysift you would want the resin heads to pass through.100-120 should be good .GL
120 is good for first run thats a rough farmers grade sift but many like to refine more with other screens honestly theres some huge threads on hash and dry sift hash from frenchy canoli on riu i reccomend anyone to have a read if u aint already
