Thanks, the Autopots do a good job and once they start feeding from the bottom they take off. If I was in a better weather location I'd try them outside. I think they could grow spectacular monsters without a ceiling restriction. As is, they just start to grow and we have to flip to contain them so we really can't take advantage of their potential.

I have all my plants in the Autopots now after a week of cleaning and transplanting. They were all stunted from being bound in the small pots, probably should have been transplanted 3 weeks ago. Now that they've been in the larger pots 2-3 days I can see them recovering already. I have to flip tonight. There's no time left to get them done before July's heat and humidity ruins flowering.

I still don't have the water lines or air lines hooked up..today I'll do that and add my nute mix to the res. I only have 5 airlines this run I used an airbase with no place to locate a dome

I have all my lines hooked up and the Autopots turned on, They should have needed water/feed now but they were all happy and standing up this am. I fed the reservoir 6 gallons 2 days ago after hooking up my lines and I can tell by the weight of the tank my plants are taking water, I'll add 3 more gal in a few min...after smoke break...lol...

I fed 4ml Micro/4mlGrow/4ml Bloom/ 4 ml Diamond Nectar/ 5 ml peroxide and 1 tsp Epsom salts and as I write this I realize I should have added 6 ml Hyclean.

My Far Red lights are on 15 min at lights out and I flipped lights to12/12 - 2 days ago I'll change them to 12.5/11.5 in 5 days then 13/11 in 12 days if all works well then 14/10 the last week or 2....if I set the timer right that is...been here before with a plan that didn't work according to the script.

I bagged my drying plants yesterday the Bubba Mac & Cheese was the best performer with 2 - 1/4lb bags full, the Frozen Custard 2 plants = 1.5 -1/4lb bags, Greesy 2 plants 2- 1/4lb bags. The Wedding cake only about 1/2 bag...really disappointed in that, all my fault for not turning early enough and I had to bend her all out of shape to hold her down and I miss handled her altogether. Rock solid buds though, I'll have to conserve with her

Good Haul PC !!
I had the same happen to my WC grow was light on weight but rock solid buds.
Good smoke tho.
Your plants look great! Ah 6 pot's! I like your set up,

I keep editing lol cause I forget to add something, haha
How high are your Red Lights from the plants and which red lights do you have?

Ya and no seeds in it so far, nothing has rattled lose...lol, so far. My last batch was a rough one but I smoked it all, I hope this bunch will last me until these I just flipped are done. With my wife on eatables at night and me being a bit of a chimney we go through the weed.

I cleaned up my shop today and now I can get back on the pipes & lathe. I don't like sweeping up when my buds are sticky, it just gets airborne and I see it aiming for my intake vents so I'd rather do that when there's no buds in my tent.

I'd like to hold on to at least an oz of the Wedding cake. When I go out to BC in August I'd like to take some of my finest buds and there are some real nice hard Wedding cake along with a large Mac n Cheese and what ever other premium buds I can grow this run.
I can only carry 1oz on the plane legally but I've heard they don't go grabbing it and weighing it to make sure you are within the laws allotment. I used to carry that much when it wasn't legal... I'm going to need a ....lot...of smoke...

I haven't been there in 20 years and I'd been on every highway,bridge, tunnel, road, street, avenue , Crescent and back alley in greater Vancouver. As a 16 year old kid with a car we went everywhere we had never been and if there was a side road or alley we hadn't been down we'd go down it if we saw it...just cause......

Before we moved East I was commuting though all of it 1.5 hrs each way on good days.Now on google maps I look around and I'd get lost with new roads, highways, bridges, subdivisions, shopping malls, Casino's, the Sky train now crisscrosses the area. I'm not looking forward to the hectic...ness of the whole thing.

 

[Zen_seeker]

Good job as always sir.

Look forward to seeing your new creations as well.

You ever drive out this way again let me know and I’ll get the coffee and smoke.

I was checking my valves today and I thought I saw something moving in my tray so I looked closer, sure enough small bugs doing the backstroke wtf is this? I took my wet vac and sucked them all out, came back 3hrs later and there were just a couple and I sucked them out. Doing some research I think they are Springtails, a harmless bug that lives off dead root matter....

Has anyone had these things before, should I exterminate,leave them be or keep sucking them out? They only seem to be in one pot up front

 

[moe.red]

Happy Friday Pipe.

I hate bugs. All of them. My goto is eradication of anything I did not put there myself.

It's possible you might have an issue with your roots. If you are not using bennies I would probably treat the water with a touch of peroxide. If you are worried about root issues, you may need to top water with peroxide water to drench the whole medium.

But this is no emergency if they are springtails.

Do they look like that?

Hey, thanks. I added some peroxide straight to the tray but it didn't do anything to them they kept swimming so I sucked them out. I'll check again this am. My plants were recently transplanted, not even a week ago. They must be feeding from the trays or they'd be wilting by now. I did noticed that the top was bone dry on a few as far down as I could feel in the soil so I top watered just before noticing the swimming bugs in the trays. They were all root bound badly but the plants all seem to be loving the new home and are looking good. I don't see any signs of distress in them, all my leaves look good and they're starting to stretch...........What would be the maximum amount of Peroxide per gallon be that I could use without causing harm. I add 5ml per gal every feed now to help with biofilm build up

 

[moe.red]

When used in hydro we try to target 10ppm for maint and about 25 for treatment. It burns off pretty quickly so dosing often helps. I don’t think it will kill adults but should break the cycle going forward.

In your case I’ll bet you can go more. Maybe 100ppm because your roots are not submerged in it. Here is a chart to convert ppm to ml/l

Thanks Moe, I've been checking the tray twice a day and I'm only seeing 3-5 hopping on the water and I suck them out with my wet-vac I just added I added 5ml to the tray and I'll top water when the soil drys a bit with 10ml peroxide/gal.

I read while I was googling about these things that if I'm seeing them in my trays my soil is full of them. I'm not seeing any outside the trays and I put my double vision glasses on for a real close look but nothing on the surface I can see and as I dig through the top there's no movement.

I looked for Gh products that may help and they've.... of course got some

 

[Pipecarver]

May 27
Of course none of those products are available in Canada so I'll go up to my local garden shop and see what they have. I sucked out what looked like 3-4 this am and added about 5 ml Peroxide to the tray. I'll check back later. I may have always had these things I just happened to look closely to the trays and saw movement this time.

All my plants looking good but they have been stunted, They're recovering well and I should have a nice canopy but my last crop at this time my plants were 2-3 times the size already. I think if I'd been able to get them well established in the AP's before I flipped they'd have taken off but I was rushed for time to get them in and flowered before it gets too hot and humid here.

My plants are doing well, my Choc Momosa that has been the runt so far is spreading her wings nicely now that she's feeding from below ( front right) with a Green Crack ( front center) and Topanga Cookies (front right), Green Crack ( back left) Topanga Cookies (back center) and Quebec Blue ( back right).

They are not drinking all that much yet and I'm only replacing 3 gal at a time. I've bumped my feed to max veg feed of 5ml micro/5ml grow/5ml bloom/ 4 ml diamond nectar/ 5 ml peroxide/ 1 tsp Epsom salts/ 3 ml hyclean but I think I dumped in 6ml by mistake....bottle empty?.....fk...nope........I 'm at 1000 ppm....ph seems to be 666 but that can't be right....lol...
Green chilly hot sauce anyone?

 

[Zen_seeker]

Looking solid. I’m getting there.

Thanks, I added 1/2 hr more light yesterday now on 12.5/11.5...next week 13/11......I'm pretty sure I have my timer working right this time...down pegs mean on time...95% sure..lol

Hahaha. I have to triple check the mechanical timers too. I like them better than the digital but they can be tricky without my glasses.

There is nothing written on my timers that show whether pins are up or down for lights on, last time I'm pretty sure I had pins up for on....not so...is down for on time, They are hard to set minutes on, I want my red lights on just before lights out and it takes me about a week to get it just right by being there at lights out to get red on first but those dam timers are not 100% accurate, last night I waited and waited then finally the lights went out and the reds still were not on.. adjusted the reds again by just a touch we'll see tonight. I may have to set them on for 15 min before lights out and after...trying to be close to exact isn't working yet

 

[Zen_seeker]

It’s down for any I’ve seen. That little tooth needs to catch the tabs.

I’ve screwed up the AM/PM before. But usually it’s things like missing one tab or matching the timer to the correct time that’s a little off.

 

[GoodShit97]

Eplugs for the win
No need for pins anymore. Makes it so much easier, just set it and forget it.

Ya, mine don't have the printing on them anywhere to confirm down is on. I had to test to confirm. should be pretty easy it would take a complete stoner to fk it up.....hello stoner here...lol

Well we got the wifi, were not that far out of touch....lol... and with1gig mpbs we've a pretty speedy connection with an internet connected phone......

I wasn't sure if you had wireless, figured you still ran ethernet cables

I need a 96 pin timer tho so eplugs aren't all that great

Along with my timers in use I have a few spares, the one on the top right is real tricky to program. I lost the manual and I can't find it online, I can work it out but it takes me 1/2 hr to get it right......real tricky 1 wrong step and start all over again

I need one like the bottom right, but believe it or not I haven't been able to locate one yet. Not that I've tried very hard lol.

I have the two on the far right. The digital one went nuts a few years ago. Used to use it when we went on trips to turn lights on/off.

Mechanical ones aren’t perfect but seem to work better for me in the long run.

 

[GrumpAzz]

With AC Infinity's controller 69, I can control everything in the tent from anywhere with cell service.

That being said, I would think you could connect to the plugs G$ has. They're wifi, not Bluetooth. So they'd sync to your wifi and then you would connect to them by downloading the app on your computer.

 

[Zen_seeker]

Pipe did you say you put air holes in your inner clear cup? Like an airpot or just the bottom?

I put 5 holes in the bottom in this pattern +, one at each point and one in the middle.

I wouldn’t mind trying a few in the sides. The red cup would prevent most things leaking out I would think but might still let enough air in to help.

Any pattern or hight you recommend? 5, 10, or more holes?

And where are the new pipe/pen project pics? Enquiring minds want to know.

I don't tend to use clear very often but if I do yes, air holes in everything. as I know it the more access to O2 the better...perforate those suckers I just counted 12 holes in the sides of my cups and 5 on the bottom. I water with a turkey baster all around until I get water leaking out of everywhere, then remove whats leaked out and put back under the light. Its only in the solo cups for 2-3 waterings then transplant into larger pots

Pipe have you looked at the new acinfinity heater that you leave outside the tent and pipe the heat into the tent.

Not yet but I'll take a peak at them now.

Good price but I can't find wattage anywhere and I'm a bit old school to go with controllers and sensors and shit now. I wet my finger and put it too the wind.....lol...I mostly go by feel.........My oil filled is pretty basic and I like it that way, no electronics to fk up......Honestly that black box looks like it has the potential to go poof, not working any more....lol the secret is inside the Black box.....lol...

I don't trust these new fangled gadgets with their wifi and blue teeth .......2 Bubba mac n cheese and a Greesy....if you're wondering with another being rolled.

530 Watt dont need controller to use

 

[Pipecarver]

530 Watt dont need controller to use

530 watts is good, I think that would be enough, I only need it with lights on to get my temps up to 79/80f or I stay at 70f without heat. My big issue in tents is the dam power cord going through the fabric vents. That would eliminate that for me...US price though I guess eh?

 

[OLDCRO]

159.00 at indoor farmer but there sold out right now. In my case i have my tents in a room in the basement i have to heat up whole room to heat tents i wont put heater in tents and yes its a oil filled heater i use.

 

[OLDCRO]

My oil heater on low setting pulls 750 watts . Acinfinity heater has built in fan to force warm air out when it hits temp heat shuts off and you can let fan run to bring air circulation into tent.

Its hard for me to get my whole basement up to 80f, with blankets on the top my heater that's same as yours I guess will keep my tent warm. I couldn't afford heating my basement to 80f. I use the front 1ft of my 5x5 for fans,heater and humidifier so it doesn't take up any space I want to use.

June 8
Plants are growing great...Autopots just make them jump and my far reds are helping at just 15 min a night, lights out. I'm on 13/11 now 18 days into flower, My Topanga Cookies have both out stretched the rest, with the runt of the bunch Chocolate Mimosa blooming with big fat leaves, nice off shoots and will be a nice producer with thick stalks all the way up
