Red's Thread ~ All things Cannabis

I suppose if I wanted a couple grams per plant and did bonsai. No friggin way 15 plants will fit in there until flower. Even with just 1 the roots would get all caught up in the fan and other hardware.

I’m sure you would find a way to make it work tho.

For me I’ll stick to the 4x8 fog tent with the 4 55 gallon totes to flower in via fog. Leave the cloner to be a cloner/seedling starter.

That’s a proper fog flower setup
OCD triggered.

i got youre DWC and FOG tents mixed up, thinking you only had the fog cloner and RDWC for flower.

and guess i forgot about the actual fog tent for flower, cause of the RDWC vid above.

so now i meant, when the next fog flower run?

the plants coming from the fog cloner and going into the RDWC confused me for a second there, my bad, thought it was a fog run you were going to do not a RDWC.
Yeah I got this set up so I can move these netpots anywhere I want.

I have 3 4 x 8 tents plus the 2x4 fog cloner and the aero cloner spots.

I’m struggling with the o2 stuff a bit. I need to get that sorted before I go back into fog flower. The do probe quits working after a few days due to buildup. I need to engineer a dunking system so I can pull the probe out of the nute water when I am not reading.

I’ll get there just takes time.

Or I could do an atmospheric fog grow I suppose. I just really want to do o2 that’s why I built this system.
 
"
Automated Dunking:
  • Servo/Actuator: Use a servo motor or linear actuator controlled by a timer or Arduino to raise/lower the probe.
  • Timer/Arduino: Set intervals for readings and dunking."
seems like something you could do easily?
 
Manual Dunking:
  • Simple: Use a sliding holder on a vertical rail to lift the probe when not in use.
  • Materials: PVC pipe, plastic holder.
3D print a rail, run a litttle motor and gear? hot glue to side?

Looks like now.

I made some progress over the last couple of weeks. I found out what was causing some of my issues with instrumentation. My latest find was that the ultrasonics kicking off was putting noise on the sensors and making them go wacky.

Setting up to go back online with fog and O2, but doing it a bit old school with dunkable probes rather than continual monitoring.

Putting water back in now, getting a baseline over the next couple of days, if all goes well I'll be planting seeds for the fog tent this weekend and taking the plunge. Intend to go seedling thru flower all in this tent, except for the germination.

Let the games begin.

RDWC trucking along nicely. Forgot to take pics, got a new puppy saturday and she has been the star in my camera this weekend lol. Who's got time for weed when you got a puppy? ;hop

Thats kinda cool though

Sweet, can't wait.

Do was super weird.

Same sensors worked ok in RDWC but do still gets a white buildup presumably nutes on the sensor tip within a week. Gets slowly less responsive over time and then just goes nuts only when the ultrasonic kicks on

Still learning but making progress

some electromagnetic interference from the ultrasonics freq?
 
Mixed feelings on this one. Putting a whole grow in the hands of a robot is too far for me at least now. Gonna use this at first to control VPD via the humidifier only. If it works well I’ll add co2. Both of those if they go haywire will not kill the whole grow.

If it works well I’ll start adding things to it. We will see.

I'll keep my eye on it and see what happens on prime day.
Agree there's just some things I'm not sure about AI being in control but I'm interested in the info it may provide mainly in the soil moisture probe and charting uptake rates according to temp and RH for dialing in a near perfect watering routine.
IDK if it could learn my room though as wild as it swings. It might have to ride the short bus to that school. 🙃

Hydro probes not shipping yet.

Supposed to be a way to dose nutes and ph thru peristaltic pumps. That would be interesting.

I got high hopes but low expectations
 
That's funny made me laugh out loud...
Did you get one of these? Wondering if I'm special or did AI think I needed it?

That "Intro to Growing Hemp" was packaged in a humidifier I bought yesterday. They must be throwing it in with different products. I haven't pulled it out of that sleeve, yet. It feels like more than a pamphlet, tho 🤷‍♂️

It is....$$$...;idk how to spend more...

I wish there stuff wasn't so handy a almost affordability, custermer service is better faster.

There's all kinds of great knowledge in the "Guide Service "

They kacthem big fish ;gr
 
what npk ratio do you use for fog?

for veg.

thanks.

Still a study in progress. Each one of those aquariums is the feed for each of the fog sites individually. That way i can vary things and see the results.

Right now I am starting with the typical hydro 2:1:4 but tweaking from there. But I do have to say it seems like a higher EC than hydro is needed which is a result I was not expecting. I'm not sure if it has to do with some nutes not being as easily lifted in the fog or what. It may end up being the same EC but slightly different ratios.

Time will tell, I need about 3 or 4 grows to fully map this out.
 
you sure are in deep moe but i love your passion and drive to find out what works best.i like following along even though I wouldn’t know what your doing half the time…I can only grow oooga booga style 1742312094092.gif
 
How it must feel looking over the grow setup everytime you add some new gadgetry

Hey everyone

Been a minute. Glad to see you all still here hanging out!

I went thru a number of life changes over the past couple of years. Some things had to get jettisoned from my life for various reasons.

Unfortunately one of those things was growing. Did my final harvest a few months ago and have been selling off equipment since. Still sitting on a rotovap if anyone wants a turnkey extraction process.

I’m super happy this little experiment we started a couple years ago is still smokin and attracting new members.

As I fade of into retirement I’m happy to see folks that I witnessed do their first grow are now ready to take over. It’s satisfying to watch. A bit proud too.

I’m leaving a bit of a hole behind me on the IT side. If anyone wants to throw their hat in the ring to help manage the forum please reach out to a staff member.

It’s been a pleasure spending years of my life with this crew. Peace and hallucinations to all!
 
Hey buddy. I know you said you've already gotten rid of most of your grow stuff, but did you have a cannatrol type dry/cure box or a custom built doo-dad?

My grows are dialed in but I'd like to up my drying game. You're probably the closest to me and I'd love to make the drive and give you a proper send-off. Fat doob or two for me and my mentor...
 
Next year I should have a pretty decent stock of bodhi f2s, I got invited into this thing called the bodhi apocalypse vault it’s a preservation group that focuses on older rare bodhi packs. Well they got a really nice Christmas present and bodhi got in touch with the leader of the group and sent him these packs to reproduce. Some of them I’ve never heard of and they could be unreleased packs that were never sold here is the list super exciting stuffView attachment 85531
Im new here but have a few seasons in the dirt........I grabbed bodhi for the first time about 9 months ago and this is after 20+ yrs of growing cannabis.....yeah i know lol. I got hashplant D and would like to show you guys at almost finished the examples my tent produced and get your feedback if thats kool? Tonight around 430 eastern stand time ill take pics and can i share them here?
