Bodhi Strawberry Mama / Super Silver Strawberry / Romulan IX2 + autoflower + landrace medical & recreational cannabis home grow

Today was like being the GM of a baseball team and managing the roster before the trade deadline.

I sent the two AC Infinity Ionframe lights to Cleveland in exchange for a veteran left handed hash washer, two rookie bricks of coco, and four 1/2" straight line barbed fittings + $40 in cash or $50 in store credit to be named later.

I used an inkbird in the mother tent. I started hooking up exhaust fans and oscillators to my old Controller 69 and stopped myself short.. it's a mother tent that I don't intend on pushing the plants in, so passive airflow and set oscilations it is.

Inkbird handles the heater and humidifier. Controller 69 will likely either be a contest prize or a raffle item at this point.

If I wasn't going to try out AC infinity's pH and EC probes, the flower tent would just get an inkbird as well.

Inkbird stuff I use is really solid and worth every penny. It doesn't get kicked out of here like other brands. They make the CO2, temp, and RH monitor I use, the plug in thermostat for my exhaust, the heat controller in my extraction kit, and my meat probes & sous vide lol.
The other thermostat I use is Hydrofarm new old stock but built to handle huge loads from an AC or heater.

Inkbird makes a dual stage temp and rh controller that would be top of my list if I already didn't have what I have. That's one of the few controllers that does temp and RH, not one or the other, since it has dual outlets. That the one you have? Lots of controllers only do one or the other from a single outlet.

AC Infinity has done a real good job saturating the market and planting ideas that people need all of those devices to grow. I would agree that growing in tents adds a difficulty with less room for error requiring tighter control but when I see something crazy like a dehuey and a huey running at the same time, shit's down the rabbit hole.
I kinda go back to earlier in this thread and mobility issues...Not too sure ACI or any of those folks are really looking at that. Dealing with those issues, I find myself prefering remote controls more than phone and app control.
Tables, winches, & fans all have remotes and that is way nicer than needing to open up my phone.
I also like the temp displays and stuff like that in the room. Looking at that stuff on my phone is nice but it's so much easier to include a glance up at the monitor while I'm in the room to have and stop to mess with my phone or tablet.

The closet space in my room is where half the new analog and partial digital control is installed on the door frame of the closet.
Inside is the water supply barrel and on the other side of the door frame is where I've been stowing the remotes using 3D printed cradles to stick them on the wall.
They may as well be touch screens mounted up high like that. I don't take them out and just press the buttons I need for whatever. A remote on the wall seems to be way more user freindly for me than my phone.
Two new fans means two more remotes though so it's about to start looking like a 2005 hifi entertainment center with 7 different remotes 😋

Yeah that's the one I have running the mother tent. Had to Google the manual to get it set up, but it's worked flawlessly since.

I have 3 or 4 more of them to either raffle off or include as prizes. Then i also have a couple single outlet controllers. Either temp or humidity only, like you said. Moe really hooked me up.

I will say, ACI saved my plants a time or two when the plug running my heater failed closed and ran the heat nonstop. Remote monitoring and a wife at home to unplug shit kept me from cooking my plants.
 
i like inkbird a lot!! my sousvide is an inkbird!!

another brand i'd like to throw out there as a quality controller and thats this digiten model. i have a couple of them and they are very reliable and can be set down to the tenth of a degree if needed. both rh and temp..


.

Bandit i have always secretly wanted one of those bubbleman washers... i say good trade!!!!!!!!!!!

.

so what do you do with those prickly pear things? what do they taste like?

they look like they would be good for a little frisky foreplay!!!! a paddle with ticklers on it. oooooooow

I've had my heater stay on more than once and walk into a room around 105 haha. Yeah not fun.
A few ACI gadgets made the cut down...I have the small controller,I think 69+, and it's probe has always been outside so I always knew if there was really great weather outside, flip the intake switch and get it inside to the garden. I kept it there along with a fan to work inside the drying tent and give power to that probe
I also rearranged the intake box and since I have the controller going, turned the intake box into a carbon air scrubber.
I have a hepa filter along with 10lbs of activated carbon in this box recycling the room air

Removed and rearranged a lot of other stuff on this wall.
Now it's just power outlets, ac/heat control, water inlet, and passive air intake when open.
I left the fire extinguisher since a lot of the grow electric is a charge station for a bunch of different batteries now, most are lipo and probably more dangerous than any of the grow gear in here.

Man, I've been so close to buying one of those washers for so long. I had an ebay knockoff a long time ago and figured they were all crappy like that until I saw this one in person. It's bigger and built better than what I had. It also came with a set of bags and a wash bag. Needs a good detailing and deep clean but looks like the shipping plastic is still on the top so under that should be clean. I'll like it just for the drain in the bottom hahaah!

Prickly pears are so yummy!!! You can make hooch with 'em!!!
I'd say they taste kinda like a kiwi without the seeds with some juicy fruit gum flavoring and texture of a mango. Use them pretty much you'd use a sweet fruit and these can also be good in drinks and teas. They gotta be peeled first since they'll have prickly fuzz and tough skin.
The paddles can be eaten too. They're nopalitos and have the flavor of a lemony okra but gotta be picked young when the spines are still soft.

Welp, looks like there's gonna be aliens one way or another!!!
