Red's Thread ~ All things Cannabis

really impressive Moe!!! that all looks great!!!!

you should see these cats out there making PETG-TPU-PETG parts with flexi hinges... you get the strength of petg and then the flex from the tpu, not sure how they do it but the little i did see was pretty cool!!!

don't think i didn't notice those tighty whiteys either!!!! :ROFLMAO: f'in bandit... peeps are gonna be like wtf?!?!? hahaha

I knew you would get it.

Man you opened up a whole world to me here I didn't know about. On all my stuff I integrate metal for movement. I'm going to play with this stuff for weeks.
 
I agree that is best practice. Just to be clear tho, that means the rubber goes on either in or out depending on how you install.

I also have bulkheads here that come with 2 gaskets. these have little ridges on them. Ridges go to the tote side.
On every CC ive had anything to do with the nut has gone together on the inside of the module

Yeah buddy I hear you. If all anyone ever used is current culture we would have a single answer.

Go to Amazon and search bulkhead. There are hundreds of them. Metal, plastic, double gaskets, single, none, slip, threaded, double threaded, etc etc.

This one is clearly designed for the nut on the outside

So I’m just not comfortable saying the nut always goes on the inside, the gasket on the outside, and assuming everyone chooses the same parts

Exactly this ^^^ thats why i said it goes opposite the nut
 
My nuts are definitely on the inside :LOL:

Did anyone say rubber?
Figured out my plan on those aether x gdp. Gonna run those alongside some shoreline og x stardawg I ended up snagging off green point. Hopefully find some nice shit and maybe a nice male.

Anxious to see how they do...you gonna run any yourself?

I REALLY want to for sure. @GoodShit97 made some F1(?) seeds from the Mendel Aether x GDP and sent me some and those are burning a hole in my new Bud Builders Vertical Germinator!

Yeah i definitely agree with the "f1(?)" Lol idk what theyd be considered but seemed like f1 was the proper term🤣🤣
Im definitely NOT a breeder lmfao
Cant wait to see what comes of those man.
 
Yep that's my plan is get with moe on a germinator or 2 and run equal amount clone all then flower and sample see what I get female wise. Never done it but I'll clone the males and try to keep them on chill til the smoke report on the females is in....hopefully I can get some ideas from how the males veg and how they started to look when I discovered they were males (trichs smell nodal spacing etc) and culled them on the initial seed pop. Stoned rambling. Point is I got a plan, and I'm going to try to stay up with you guys on this and send report. 🍻

I'm going to run those in the maiden run here too, alongside others. You can have any males I find.

If you find a special female keep er. Going to be atleast late December before I'm popping the beans just put tent to flower Saturday....65-70 days and counting.
 
Interesting the way you did this. Will the Cannabis Caddies be removable for cleaning?
No, just the whole lid. The twist locks are the only removable part here.

This makes the top heavier to help with sealing it, blocks light, makes an easy tp clean surface, and perhaps most importantly seals in gasses. Leaks have been an issue for me in fog.

I'm not suggesting this is the way most people will /should do it.
 
Why do just use those current culture plugs on top of the net pot?
I’ve been wary of crown rot after aqua’s issue. I’ve been using a fine grain coco in the netpots to allow for some breathing.

But I could leave the top inch of the coco out and use a collar and worse case take it off if I get rot where the collar is.

I’ve never taken a plant to flower with neoprene on it. But I’ve got them arriving tomorrow so I guess we will see.

I thought about it some more and I would be worried about condensation on the bottom side of the neoprene. I think I would stick to the coco or try both ways

Yeah it comes down to the O2 concentration I can muster. If I can keep it high like 80+ I think that would push out any anaerobic bacteria and fungi. If I just make it a swamp zone without the high O2 I’m asking for trouble.

Isn't my system a high humidity zone (swamp zone) under the lids?

Personally i don't think the inserts will have any negative affects
 
My concern with covering the tops is that it concentrates the humid air coming out directly around the stem. If that humid air is not blown away immediately it will soften the bark and leave it prone to infections like damping off and crown rot.

So imo if your going to try it then you absolutely must make sure you have air movement taking that humid air away
 
Shoot me a close up pic with a ruler on it and I'll see if I can engineer some kind of adapter for you.
Thanks, yea will do, but thinking for something down the road as the next 4 are doing well already in current cultures propriety 5" pots with clay pebbles
 
Here is my solution

View attachment 26187

I’ll be able to add or remove at any time. 4”

Also I have no issues with air movement, temp and rh. I can dial in any setpoint.

I’ll just keep a close eye on that area.
When do you find time to grow? Moe? Your 3D work looks great but how time consuming? Cheers for the solution! SSgrower
