Hey, Gmorning, I get bamboo garden stakes at the Dollar Store, you get about 5-6 ,4ft poles $2.99 up here. This is the season for them, along with some Green garden wire I use for tying them together.

I just transplanted my 8 sprouts into 4 Autopots with dividers and air domes last night. I know I'm going to run into humidity problems so I ordered another dehue a 50 pint this time. I hope it works better than what I have running now. I can't get my humidity below 59% atm with my existing 35pint running in Turbo so I broke down and ordered a larger one. Then I'll have 3 a 30, 35 & 50 pint I hope I don't have to use them all at once...$$$$$ elect bill

I had a couple of 35 pint dehumifers i also changed to 50 liter ones a couple of years ago. 35 liter dehumidifers just dont seem to do the job

I ordered from Costco, should be here by Thurs, Friday 59% still doors 1/2 open temp 76f at 9.5 weeks.... not good I want to dry them up good. 4 osculating fan blowing 24/7. Our foundation leaks and my room is in a bad spot for that. I has a 1" deep gutter to run along the edges in but that stays wet too long adding to humidity with my autopots and humidifier running in my veg tent.

I transplanted everything into my new Apots yesterday, thanks, 8 cells, 4 air domes with bases. I haven't got the pump going yet, I need another 2 port. I have a 4 port and a 2 port that worked well in my 5x5 but now I need to move the 2 port. I have 3-4 single port pumps from my aquarium days but they move around and buzz. The last 2 port I bought is silent and steady, cheap off amzon.

I think Old Jeffy from Amzon should be sending me a personal Christmas card next year, he gets weekly orders from me I must be one of his closest buddies....ya think?....lol....fkin Ahole & his minions knows what I'm doing at home from order history....it ain't secret any longer once Jeffy knows.
 
I just harvested 4 grand daddy purple autos canatrol full on sunday will harvest 4 Cream Mandrian autos. Lucky here so far humidity staying around 40 percent but that will change in the near future and will be stuck with it till September. Heating bill disappears but will see no savings as i will be giving it to hydro bill running dehumidifers.

With the pets and my hobbies n No Car yet, I think Im ordering 2 x a week. They screwed up my dog food and coffee order, was supposed to be here last week so I ordered another dog food cause we are out and we just used the last coffee pod.
Then there is the Walmart orders, we got a busy house here.

I fired up my 30 pint de-hummi set on 35% and the room says it's 49% I can get by with that for now.
Man, I passed up on them when we had a car and could go to the thrift shops, now we can't go, no car till this settlement happens.
I did see a govee 50 pinter that I got my eye on for $229.99 but not sure what to buy if I need another.


What one were you looking at Pipe?

I got this one on my "Grow List" it's a 70 pint and cost less $179.88


Oh ya I reduced the PPM to 1000 last night cause I seen some burning on the lower leaves of two plants.
Hummi outside is 90% so weather bug says and in my cellar it's 61%, room is a steady at 49%.
I also turned on my large fan 8" just to be sure.

Hey, ya that one isn't available up here I ordered this unit1746535041504.png
 
I turned of the oil heater and set the exhaust from 1 to 2
RH is at 45% I'm happy with that for now.
I putter too much so was bored and decided to move the plants Again!
This time I put the small 2.9 gal twin pots in front where I can monitor them much better.
IMG_6438.JPGIMG_6439.JPG


I was looking at these things today, thinking it would work great for me.


IMG_6441.JPGIMG_6440.JPGIMG_6442.JPG
The 5' stakes are $29 and those connecters are a seperate $11-13 depends on the package same as the stakes.
Pretty cool and I think they could work in my room, you can also buy these


Stake trellis connectors for $10 and make square or triangle cages with the stakes.

Our stores here have the Bamboo and those green stakes. I've not seen the attachments to them, they look like they'd work well. Like my mobile lattice I put on wheels1746625440462.png

Exactly what I was thinking when I saw them, same as what pipe made from wood.
But the connectors, that’s what caught my eye.
I have some green garden rods, maybe eight.

The only bamboo ones the $ store have are for the torches and I bought them and ditched the torches before, when they were a $1.25 but now they’re three dollars each, so no go.

But I have another idea to use some sticks attached to the joist on the ceiling and tie the staulks to them. The same as I did for the side lights in the last grow.

I was kinda hoping you'd send a pic of you on your bike with some poles Duct taped on...sticks attached to a roof joist just doesn't have the same mind pic attached.....lol.....Where's sense of adventure?, Ebike over the Border there.s gotta be a Dollar store with them close by. When you get to the crossing tell them Pipe says your good to go and you won't be but a minute then zip on past......I'll call ahead....just let me know the date.......lol.....maybe 3 joints this am is 1 too many...

No way, they raise the price to like six dollars to cross plus border guards are tough. They smell marijuana on me and they’re gonna strip search.

$6 to cross the Border? I never had to pay a dime going into any country except into Cuba we had a tourist visa we had to buy $30 each USA if I remember right.

Its kitty med time, I gotta go help give our Boy Dusky his puffer

That’s nice!
My 30pt is holding back the humidity to 48% so far. I guess it depends I’m how things get when the buds start forming. If I have to, I’ll make it happen.

I try to keep spending down as well. High humidity is one of the biggest problems. Trimming and a decent dehumidifier are helping but a better one is needed down the road.

I just built a mini one of these with a clear plastic cover. Makes it a green house for my veggies.

Hope they work out for us both. 🤞

PVC works too if in a pinch.
 
Took the light up in stages and it's at 80% and holding.
Leaves look good so far.
They drinking like crazy even though the ppm is on the high side @ 1000.
Going to up that a bit tomorrow. The tanks are getting low,
I'll throw in another 4 g in the 4 pot feed tank and 2 g in the smaller 2 pot tank.
Increasing the nute lvl to 1100-1200 in the 4 pot tank, I'll keep the ppm same in the smaller feeder tank.
No real stretch yet. I did de-foliate somewhat, to thin out the biggest fan leaves that were blocking.
Hummi gettin' bad and aint gonna get no better, my de-h is working it's tail off, none stop.
Then when inspecting it, found it did not have a filter where there should be one!
I am going to take a chance and buy a re-furbished one from amazon for 172.00 tax included with free shipping.
I think it's a 80q by waykar. I wasn't planning on this purchase but last time I grew at this time of the year it was bad.
The 30p I have runs constant, never stopping and had to tape a box and duct to de-hummi's vent, then run it to the exhaust port of the room.
In order to reduce the overwhelming heat it puts out.

s-l1200.jpg
Fist week flip is done with not a problem in sight.
Usually I get major probs after week 6.
I also am not doing any PH up down or sideways.
Seems the Mag Pro solved the slight problem they had except for one,
I might micro dose in the reservour where the valve is, 1-2 ml, maybe if it gets noticably worse.
Right now it's ok.

I have my new dehue running and its running non stop. It has my tent with doors 1/2 open at 54%, better but I want lower at 10 weeks tomorrow, I'll set it on its turbo mode tomorrow if no change.

I saw a feature that it my new Dehue has a pump to pump away the water. I thought ya that'll work...it pumps out 20% of the bucket when bucket gets full and bucket dumping should be done every 2 days...??? wtf I wanted it all pumped out or I'm back to pumping it out myself from the drain plugs water dump.So many tricks to advertising, I think I have just what I want but because no, not exactly.

I’m doing about the same. Lights on is holding 50% with tents wide open. At lights out I need to close both doors of the grow room/hall and leave the dehumidifier on to stay near 50%. It was worse but the crappy humid damp rains just stopped. Now we need it bad.
 
One week into flower today!
Well this should be interesting!
Never did it before, was always afraid to try but here we go.
The smaller pots, 2.9 gal., happen to have the smallest plants, the BD is at least a week behind.
Not sure why the other is so small might be the strain or the pot size.
Anyway, I decided to give them a stand to elevate them and make the canapy even as the others grow and stretch.
I always put my rez tanks on a crate to give some height and make the nutes flow better.
I had this small stool I used to stick the twin pots and base on.
I checked to see if the water would flow at that height and it did.
I'll watch carefully to make sure and will add more nute water to that tank tomorrow.
It has about 4 gallons in it now.
My lil de-hummi working it's tail off but keeps the damp demons away.
Room at 45%, not bad. When the buds start happening is when it gets real sticky.
Athena Pro is what I am using, Core and Bloom but add Mag-Pro and at week 3 will start PK.
There are 2 charts one for Blend and one for Pro, I use both cause the MP and PK are on the Blend chart and not the Pro chart.
I also have Fade, for the last 2 weeks and use HyClean to keep the pipes and valves cleaner.
Light is at 80% and not sure how much higher I will take her if any.
Right now everything looks spot on, 🤞
I taped a box on the de-hummi exhaust and ran a duct from it to near the main exhaust to suck out the heated air

Your plants look great, a nice pretty green to them. I'm at 10 weeks today on my flowering crop. I can never get an even canopy I'm going to try harder this time to keep them down and laid out. I want to mainline them.....some what not your traditional 8-16 top plants but maybe 4 on each with 2 in each pot that should give me a nice canopy.....Dreams of a stoner...lol

I'm on the verge of buying another FC4000. My light in the veg ten, the G3000 only has 2 bars out of 4 working. I've fiddled with the wires and they still stay off. Fk it, My first thought was another Spiderfarmer SE3000 to fit my 3x3.....But if I but the FC4000 and put it in my 5x5 along side the other I'll have 2 spare SE3000 and one can be my veg light. I'm running 920 watts in there now if I remove my 2 SE @ 600W total and add a 320w I'm 280watts less expensive...Selling point for my wife...or I wait until she's not looking and bam delivery on the way

My new dehue still isn't cutting it on by its self I have my 35 pint and the new 50pint both running and I'm finely down to 50%

I'm aft lights out I have my reds on. I gotta go but ....My main comp is our 50" TV and she sits and knits so she sees all of my purchases unless she's up doing something but when my credit card comes out the jigs up. Its no big deal I can buy what I want but its kind of a game, I see nothing she buys her main comp is up in her office but she' sees most of mine so there's time for her to intervene with a what you getting there dear?...lol...
 
I opened the box and set them up.
Far Reds, I'll see what they can do for the strechy part.
I hope I set up the timer right, 15m before and 15m after lights out.
Could not figure out how to set them up with the Controller 43 panel or app
I put it on a digital timer and if that don't work, I'll use a pin timer.

On my way to the liquor store and 2 doors down right off the sidewalk was this huge bee hive or a swarm idk.
Not sure what kind of bees but they were smallish in size.
I steered clear!
IMG_6447.JPG

This morning my wife was waiting for her ride to hospital (xray) a bunch of birds started to swarm and fly right up to her.
So close she thought they were going to attack!
I seen em and went to the front of the house, thought maybe it was crows, they like squirels this time of year.
Nope, not Crows, but they were hunting squirels.
One had one in it's beek. I took some pic's and they look like a vulture type bird that I've never seen around here before.
These are Big Birds!! Wing span must be 2.5' to 3' There was a pack of 6-8 that I saw.
