Ok grow hack for today is for bubble hash. I bought a 55 gallon Brute can and filled it with water and left it out there for a few days. WOW! You have to monitor the temps but having that kind of icy water on tap is freaking wonderful!
I also bought an ice machine....cheapo that does 26 lbs a day.....2 days if you need to sleep, lol. Now I wish I bought a bigger one...it's sliced bread and a big advantage having all the cold shit outside before the run.

The wanting to sleep part was nice LOL. I've never made Bubble Hash before, and honestly I'm not even sure if I've smoked it.

Not by batch.........I make a 3 gallon concentrate and then work from that bottle for the batches. I have several pieces of 3/4" gravel in that concentrate jug that help keep it mixed.

Yo that's great to know you can do that, I've been wondering myself. Everything's verging right now so I could really do with having a bunch of pre mixed solution to just add tk the water, pH, and then ready

Easy hack for the best coverup if you have a repairman, installation, nosey in-laws etc and that carbon filter isn’t keeping up with your ladies. More for us red state growers but simply cook up some bacon. Works everytime worry free with a delicious treat when they leave. ?

I end up using 1 cup of the concentrate to 3 gallons water and I end up about 450 ppms. @Capt. C turned me on to the trick many moons ago. Still working great, super repeatable, and leaving me with one helluva lot less measuring to do :)

I'm at work now and am too dumb to think, could you hit me with the numbers you're using to mix the concentrate? Thanks!

Here's what I use for my concentrate in a 3 gallon jug.
  1. 7.2 grams Part A (5-12-26)
  2. 4.8 grams Part B (15-0-0)
  3. 2.2 grams of Epsom salts.
Then 1 cup of that concentrate to 3 gallons of water for your feed
Check your initial numbers and dial it in as required. Once you have it down, it's super easy and consistent.

Great suggestion!

Set of 50 Metal Wire Alligator Clamp Long-Tailed Alligator Iron Clip Clasp for DIY Card Photo Memo Clip Holder 6inch (150mm)
I bought the 4-inch, but either will do.
If it's too long, just snip it. ✂️

The yellow sticky cards that I bought are no longer available.
Good thing they sent me a double order accidentally.
whoops
:poop:

Maybe that's why they are out of business...?

I should mention that any size of yellow sticky card should NOT be used outdoors.
Even the small ones will impair birds enough that they can't fly.
I accidentally caught a bird that my wife called 'chirpy bird'. Well, he wasn't really "caught" because he could still run, but he definitely couldn't fly.
Fortunately I was able to slowly remove the card from his wing and he flew away. Hopefully he made it.
The ordeal definitely stressed him out. :cry:

Thanks for the idea, I’ve been using plastic knives for markers, thinking the fork might work for that?
The sticky cards are hard to handle, and you don't want to transfer the goo to your fingers or contaminate it with anything dry, like DE (diatomaceous earth).

I cut mine in half lengthwise, then cut each half into thirds so there's an edge you can handle on every piece.
Then peel about 3/4 of the wax paper and cut in half.
I should take some pics, this is hard to explain.

Do whatever works for you... ?

Not sure if this fits hacks or the DYI thread.
My heat mat and controler, usually gets used where ever I need it. But I'm trying to get things more user friendly.
I found this spot in my Veg area, where I can hang the mat, then as I need it, I just attach it to the light adjusters I sort of hate.
It goes to 90 degrees when in use, then lays flat against the wall when I do not need it.
Silly but works fine.

Sorry did not have a shot of it against the wall, in the upper left corner of the pic you see it folds down and waits to be used...in fact it is starting onion seed, to build seedlings for the garden out back.
