CannaGranny’s Corner a Thread For General BS and Good Will On BudBuilders

CannaGranny said:
Yup, I got up still mad this morning so I used that energy to get my veg room cleaned top to bottom. Got my big English garden weeded, cleaned porches and did laundry.
I see a lukewarm shower, ac, a ceiling fan and some cool cotton sheets in my very near future too! My wagon be dragging.

Hope you woke up in a better mood today.
My wife gave me some kisses and told me I might get some tonight when she left for work this morning.

Just want you to be in as good a mood as me 😂

Can I see your weeded English garden? I miss not having one, what's popping in there right now, anything for the bees and butterflies?
 
My outdoor plants are all battle scarred from hail last week. Oriental lilies are blooming from buds that have chunks missing. The scent is there, but yikes, what a mess.

Tomatoes planted close to the house look fine, the ones about 6 feet away from the house were half-stripped of leaves. Naturally, my wife promised half the neighborhood that they'd get tomato sauce this year, so I'm looking for some of those tiny jars the sell BHO and Rosin in.

I hardly ever just wake up mad, if I do it’s cause I went to bed mad. As to the rest of your post, I guess all I can say is, enjoy? 🤣😂😅😂🤣

One of my fav places to have a cup of coffee and a morning smoke. Just starts the day out peaceful and right. This morning even through all the rain the scent of flowers is very strong. The hummingbirds are super active the bees not so much. My fav time of the year.
 
No not really, we get some shit weather at times but this is a bit above and beyond normal....the suns out now but big low grey clouds are not far off.....it keeps the population down....I wondered when I first moved here why so few people live here....I now know why , weather, taxes and nepotism make it tough for people to live here . We have some nice beaches and some people rely on that summer business to survive, ice cream, food trucks and small stores that need the upswing the heat and sun brings. No one goes to the beach in the rain...
 
It’s hot, 26c in shade. It’s humid, 70%RH in basement.

Both tents 3x3 zones are holding at 26c & 54RH. Great if lights on but this is lights off time. Still better than past days lately.

Rabbits are all over the yard at night and early morning. Found one baby dead, went to get a glove to deal with it and it was gone when I got back. Maybe a crow? Lots around lately. A larger rabbit was 6’ away from me and where the baby was…never heard a thing and bigger rabbit wasn’t spooked. 🤷‍♂️

A little later I checked at 7am and saw the big one and another small one still in different areas of the yard. Strawberries are 4 crates high now but the bigger rabbit keeps hanging around the area.

Thanks! I have five acres of plantings. The rest is all wooded. I’m always sticking something in the ground. I also have a small orchard. Eighteen years of poking stuff in the ground. It just gets prettier every year.

Clarify black out yellow lid please. Whatcha mean?
 
The yellow let's light leak through so algae I think will build....blacked out to block out the light....real dark haha

The hydro fellas always covering their net pots and stuff I think serves the same purpose, keep light from hitting roots

I thought to hydro dip it maybe but it's a big lid....got some thick spray paint but don't know if it'll be enough

The lid I have on mine from Clone King is white. So I’m not so sure the lid color is important? Anybody else?

Yea I'm not too sure I just seen alot of people in the comments for the tutorial on this build mentioning it. Idk if it matters much over a 2 week period was my initial thought. Wrong often lol. I was kinda thinking it's more for people that are running it constantly which isn't what I have planned.

I poured some liquid rubber on top. It made it all flat which helps with cleaning too. If I could do it again I might try epoxy resin. But there are probably easier ways.

How important is it that light is blocked if you just are using it every now and again for 2 week periods?

Your white lid is probably made of a more opaque plastic than the yellow lid. One easy test is to put a bright ass flashlight right up against the lid and see if any light comes through the other side.

Krylon paint for plastics.

I would just block the light to not have it as a concern. I mean it's not dire or anything, but it's not that hard to make it a zero issue.

I use mine 24/7 so I have to block light. Mine runs hot too, 78f. I just changed the water for the first time in a month yesterday and the water was still good. So the liquid rubber really does a good job of blocking light.

Note: I do treat it twice a week with hypochlorous acid.

Expensive but a couple cans of flex seal will fill in that lid

I never did anything to my yellow lid.
Light should be very low for clones anyways...

Yea I bought rustoleum painters hand 2x as it was rated best for hydro dipping that was my initial plan...I'd have to empty out this coffin sized tote to have something big enough....and I'm just not really feeling it. Think I'll spray the lid a coat or two and see if it does the trick....already got it may as well
 
Holy shit, I just sprayed this lid with the painters hand 2x, gave it the old once over, held it up to the sun to see....and it was completely blocked out.

Good paint...I know krylon was recommended and is probably a bit better....but this stuff works pretty darn good...just wanted to post it incase anyone else stumbles across the info

See if it were me, I’d be freaking about my leaves laying atop of the paint. I stress over shit like that!

Maybe cause of the heat black holds?

I had seen the different color ones and figured they must be thick and not see thru. Truth is and everyone around here knows it...it's cheaper to just buy one. But I like building things and was concerned I may not like the sprayer in one I just buy. Watched a review on one can't remember which one (one Amazon sells) and it left alot to be desired on the spray out put.

Cost me around 100, and I had fun, and the next one will cost less because I have left over material too bad I don't need another lol.

May be up to make another and ship it to someone for a trade tho, just throwing out the offer, if interested let's discuss in pm....hit me up

I'm a complete newbie on the cloning but what I've cloned so far I tend to trim a couple nodes and just leave some shit at the top...idk we'll see if i can keep my leaves off the lid but i don't care as much as you may lol
 
So far I’m not having any probs with the Clone King. I’ve been running it about a year and a half. I think one key thing with all of those spray nozzles is to throughly clean them after every use. It’s a pain in the ass, but it works!
My top is a very thick plastic. I never was concerned about light leaks as heck this stuff will root in open light in the bottom of a water filled cup!
Great job though!

Yea i think so. When i was using the black ones i cut that foil bubble wrap to fit on top and then when they came out with the white i just replaced the black ones

I love watching all you Guys build stuff. It’s like a replay of MacGuyver and Tim the Toolman Taylor! An innovative lot you all are!
Building is not one of my super powers lol, sooo I just buy the stuff after you all perfect it.
