Stoney's Luv Shack

@Stoneyluv i finally got around to looking at the code last night, i blew you up with PMs and the final code. Likely you are watching the race, later let me know how the changes look/perform in actual use, I'm dying to know lol

If it opens a worm portal to another dimension, that's normal 😂 😂

Peace brother

sweet man, that is so awesome of you. i hope to be home early this afternoon and i plan to mock it all up on the workbench and load it in and see what happens!!! i'm excited!!

i think i may have to replace that probe though, i can't get it to calibrate correctly. it won't recognize the 7 and thinks the 4 is the seven so it's way off. wiki for the probe says to lad the factory code and it will clear the memory. i tried it and it says it was successful but i get the same results.

i think that probe is shot.. i'll mess iwth it for a few minutes but i don't want it to piss me off so i won't spend too much time on it, i wanna focus on the doser part and check that out. i have spare probes and i'll try that but honestly thats whats gonna piss me off when i learn that expensive ass probe failed already! i recently bought two bluelabs probes for what i paid for that one from df robot.. man i got hustled!!!!

everything in your PM that you said you did was exactly what i was looking for but didn't know how to code that into it. can't wait to see how it works out!!!

So I'm not sure if I'm on the same page or not, but the bluelabs have to be calibrated in a particular order. I get it wrong every other time so I can't say whether to do the 4 or 7 first. I think 7. Maybe 4 🤣

yeah, you're correct. 7 then 4.. unless the water you're measuring is between 7 and 10. if you're looking to measure ph between 7 and 10 then you should calibrate with 7 then 10..

but this probe i'm speaking of is the POS i bought from DFRobot and i don't even wanna know how much i paid for that thing!!! somehow i messed up the calibration or it just brole but it won't recognize the 7. i put it in 7 and it fails. i put it in 4 and it thinks it's seven and sets ph4 as 7.. yeah!! POS!!!!

i'm gonna try to reset it to factory settings again and see if anything is different. if not i might get some satisfaction destroying it! my expectation level is about a point five.. in fact i had to print one of these just so i would have one to give!!!!

If i remember right i saw some funny code around the ph probe init, but figured if it's working to leave as is. given this new information i will look into that part of the code tonight. This Arduino coding is new to me, but you have sparked my love for coding again after a long hiatus.

You never told me it was c code before lol, some real nerd shit but i love c++ it's my favorite programming language

There is a lot of history behind how this language revolutionized coding, and how c++ brought OPP, object oriented programming to the masses as one of the firsts and most efficient Screenshot_20251009-070445.png
Oh man this was like porn for me as a kid lol

@Stoneyluv let me know about the probe. If you want me to dive into that initialization code or you think it's just the probe itself

I forgot to mention "hello world!" Is always how a new coding language is presented to the world. It would go from requiring a few hundred lines of code, down to eventually just 4 with C/C++ then to just one line with some newer languages, a little coding history lesson lol
 
Waiting to get to that stage. ⏳

a watched pot never boils!! hehe

i forgot how much water that airpots use.. i need to water again tonight, pretty much every two days. if i wait till three like tonight then they need extra.. wait it's only been two days,,, damn they need water already right now. i watered them all to 45% on wednesday night right after that photo..

and now..

I really like the moisture probe stuff. Been fun watching mine and how things go on that end and how they correlate to what's happening up top.
The uptake rates thru the stages are almost predictable now or at least within 2-3 days accuracy to time a feeding or increase in light to match uptake.
Highly under rated tech when it's accurate like this new tech! I could see the day they stopped stretching on the moisture probe. It was a steady daily uptake taking it down to 40%. One day it was still 60%. Huh? Looked at the plants and they hadn't stretched that day. Now uptake is going up again as they start to swell with dailies at 50%.

man it's crazy how much they repeat themselves. i've been having so much fun watching them cultivar to cultivar and how they're different from each other on the graphs..

like these three are all one strain..

and all these three are a different one.. kinda similar to each other but different from the other cultivar.

and then sometimes i totally geek out on the raw data, this is 12 hours worth..

so get this man, your sticker was pealing off... whats up with that... man,, i fixed it... i put a tough muthu F'er on there!!!!!!!! ;horns

I've been cleaning up my messy ass basement that has been well overdue in anticipation for a brand new furnace arriving soon, mine is like 30 years old and it's time man, she's tired.. but all i have left is to find a home for all this crap and i will have room for a new veg cabinet!!!!

001.JPG

but check it out, in that crap is an inflatable mark martin something or other in a valvoline colors... i think it a sofa,,, hahahaha the shit i save man!

002.JPG

so i haven't dived into the green sauce yet but man i've been putting a hurtin on the pepper x stuff!!!! wowzers is this hot!!!! i'm down under the label already!!!! haha

003.JPG


my new favorite lunch has been cut up chicken breast with about a tablespoon of smokin ed.. with the juices from the chicken it makes a marinade the color of longhorn!!!!! i let that cook down till all the liquid is gone and add some salt n pepper..

004.JPG005.JPG

then i toss in some flour and put a lid on let it bake for a few minutes till it smells like a pizzeria when i open the lid.. then i put in some blue cheese dressing and it totally deglazes the pot and all the bits of pepper stick to the chicken...

009.JPG010.JPG

i call it smokin ed's fire chicken!!!!! serve with a side of tissues, maybe a sweat towel, and perhaps a tall glass of milk!!!!!! ;fafo

When you hear it in % and you just match it to real time it's kinda crazy...

i'll tell ya though it don't take any gadgets to know this girl her is the hog of the bunch!!!!!!! but she is always the lowest % on the chart every day!!!

i'm gonna top her soon and she's gonna be my mom for the next two clones i use for the hydro side!!!!! yup yup!!!

Just ordered one thanks for the info

i've had it since march of last year, maybe only charged it three or four times now. ignore the air stone in the photos and video, it has a filter basket with a weighted marble inside.. i cut the hose length down a little too. but it will suck up organics from a jug no problem, it's never clogged on me.

one careful thing.. it will continue to gravity siphon if the jug is elevated and the wand is lower. i just make sure to pull the intake basket out of the jug each time i'm done using it for the day.

The probes look like a great accessory. One day. Need too many other things.

Our furnace is gas forced air from the 80’s. I’ve rebuilt everything except inside the fire box.

Only reason I’ve had to fix and replace things is we seem to get hit by lightning every 5 years. Six huge silos are beside us that inevitably get lighting strikes.
 
Just ordered one thanks for the info
Told me it doesn’t ship to my location. On Amazon canada it says currently unavailable for that model.

Still there’s others, good for Christmas ideas. If it saves back pain then it’s worth consideration.
 
I loved camping and fishing. But getting there by off-roading for a few hours…priceless!

We even had a offroad jamboree two years. About twenty of us in 8 Jeeps/trucks. One crazy guy brought a cube van with a generator in the back. It was a work vehicle. We had to use two of our trucks to yank him out of big stucks twice. He made it there and out again but the truck got beat to crap. He got fired after the long weekend. 🤣

Thanks, found it. I’ve saved the link so if you’re review is positive after a few weeks use I’ve got a gift idea for the family. 👊

Recieved the watering wand this morning and tried it already. All i can say is this a game changer for me instead of having to move pots and bending over to water by hand i just get a chair sit down and turn tha wand on !! Fixed the issue with siphoning back by cutting line and installing small plastic valve i had kiccking around. Thanks for the heads up on this wand !!!!

ours is pretty old too... Canadian brand.. Claire?? i can't remember what i replaced and what i didn't, it's been extremely reliable. i change out the nozzle and oil filter each year and normally vacuum out the fire box. this year there was nothing to vacuum out, it was pretty freakin clean in there!!!

my issue with it is the bearing blocks and axle for the blower cage. it wobbles and clunks a little more and more each year and i want to replace it before it;s a problem.

looks like it's gonna cost me about $2500 total. and the old one will get repurposed out in my garage. i plan to just run drain oil in it.. free fuel.

thats a great idea with valve!!! and i love the chair idea, i might have to steal that one later tonight!!!!!! hehe

i really like hearing when a product improves someone's life!!!!

How’s the pressure, how quickly does it go through a litre? I’m hoping you’ll still be happy with it in a month.

I’m able to handle the four plants with a watering can but I get spillage here and there and I’ve damaged plants on occasion.

I have 8 plants flowering and eight plants in veg all the time. The wand has three speeds im running it at the lowest speed with the 6 hole nozzle and it pumps out 1 litre per minute.

i tried sitting down last night to water.. it felt wrong.. like i was cheating on my plants or something.. haha

i'm intrigued by the double headed nozzle, i don't have that one!!! the lower speed would be nice to have. i remember when i first got it i tried the mist nozzle out for my seedlings. i almost blew them right out of the pots it was so strong!!

this current round is the first time i used a nozzle, before this i just left it off and let it pump full flow. it was too much flow for the airpots so i put on the sprinkler.. i kinda like it better this way after using it more.

it is king for watering around the outside of the pots ain't it? just rest that angle part on the edge and ride the rim in a circle!!!

I timed it at low speed just to get an idea of the output. So with the ecowitt soil sensers to get to my happy place of 65 percent soil moisture in 3 gallon pots its a matter of 2 minutes per pot. No more going back and forth with 1 litre watering container mix up 5 gallon pail of nutes throw in siphon hose and sit back and let the wand do the walking.

i do the timing thing as well. i'm goofy so i normally sing a song in my head over and over to get the same amount. the timing method works awesome for feedings.. like ya say one bucket O' tea versus filling a sprinkling can multiple times.

the ecowitt has pretty much changed my life and i swear it's making me look better as a grower than what i really am.

i saw a bald eagle in my town today!!!! i've seen them nearby but never in H town!! ... i was kinda star struck for a moment. i was like is that a.... yep thats an eagle!!! swooped down about twenty feet away and grabbed a snack from the center of the road and flew up to a tree!!!

.
.

just starting week five since seeds and i removed the two smaller plants and topped the ten left. i need to remove one more yet but i'm just not sure which one..

size wise would tell me to ditch the skunk in the middle.. this has more to it than ditching a plant though, the one i remove will most likely become the mother for my next hydro run..

so like said size wise would be the skunk.. but would you guys ditch a nine blade skunk?

thanks for lookin in everybody!!! have a great weekend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
