Hello from Ohio!

While I ponder chopping holes in the top of my tent.....Has anyone had experience with the cheap ec/ph monitors....like under $100 cheap???
I see them on Amazon and ebay and just wonder how bad they are.

Radio Shack on steroids!
I used to do breadboard stuff way back in the day. Made a card reader/writer to hack Direct TV many moons ago among other things....
Very cool....probably more effort than I'm willing to put into it though.
Thanks for the link!

ahhh yeah the good ol days, adding fake money on the card to get PPV!!! haha... i used to do the same thing man!! two dish's pointed at different sats.

i'm just now getting into the arduino stuff and starting to learn. it's fun so far, possibilities are almost endless... once i get a handle on things and i am able to make the water monitor i'll let you know what it all entails from a beginners point of view.

.

thanks for your support man!!

I hacked the h cards those were stupid easy. On the hu cards a bit more difficult has to glitch into those. Then they got smart and made it almost impossible. Jerks.

I always said if there is a signal on my property and I’m smart enough to decode it it belongs to me. Not sure it would stand up in a court of law tho.

Then came the streaming hacks. Did you ever download movies and burn them to vcd disks? 4 cds to watch a good movie but no need to go to theaters. Best time of year was screener season for the awards shows. I had so many “friends”

Moved to plex after that and never looked back.

ah yeah, rent em from blockbuster and 48hrs and then rip em!!! on my trips to china i would bring back bootlegs of discs for like ten cents a piece!!

Hey Driver...are you lining the bottom of your bags?...;ras

No?.....are you talking about the fabric bags? I have heard of guys putting copper mesh under the bags to keep roots from clogging the drain but I haven't had problems.

Like perlite or anything else like that

In hydro it's just hydroton....in wick grows I just fill with whatever I'm growing in. No lining the bottom or anything special.

Yeah i can see that and probably what I'll do. Thanks man
 
As they start to stack I'm beginning to believe the internodal stretch was not as crazy as I thought. It's actually not bad at all...
The Glue Sniffers are frost monsters already......the Purple creme aren't doing bad in that department either!20250319_061512.jpg20250319_061432.jpg20250319_061415.jpg20250319_060335.jpg20250319_060407.jpg20250319_060438.jpg20250319_061216.jpg20250319_061233.jpg

I've been growing indoors a few years now and did guerilla grows outdoors back in the 80's. I grow in a little bit of everything...soil, coco, hydroton, perlite, and whatever else I might have laying around. I keep 2 4x4's and a 3x3 going along with as many plants in the kitchen as wifey lets me get away with. ;smoke
I've been playing with wick bases and soil for awhile. Also have an Aircube system and rdwc for my hydro itch.
Here's my current grows...first pic is Aircube with 2 Purple Cream and 2 Glue Sniffer. Second is 3 Violet Lakes in 1 gal containers of perlite with diy top watering. Last is 3x3 doing seedling duty for 2 Fruity Freaks, 2 Maui autos, 3 Blue Moon autos, 1 Burbon Berry auto, and a Red Gorilla Girl auto. View attachment 91180View attachment 91181View attachment 91183

Dude, that glue sniffer is badass. Ur gonna love that trim, lol. I'm a big fan of twenty20 but haven't ran those. Bet I got at least 10 of their packs. They have a "September reigns because September rains" series for the outdoor growers that all come in mid-late September. A lot have the Mt strawberry strain in em. Just delicious smelling. Worth getting. I did 3 strains cpl yrs ago outdoor and they don't fail you.
