Inferno Mike's Fantasy Phenotype Festival

I haven’t found all my gear since moving this fall, but I have a pack of these. That’s the whole challenge, in some ways, right now.

I’m going to bring it down by about 3 quarts of 7 pH water to one quart of their pH down, to make a gallon,so that I can measure it in my 100 mill beakers

And then I’m going to experiment and create baseline measurements like a gentleman. As opposed to being a Hydro Cowboy like I was.
Not saying these keep that from happening, but at least it was a half assed attempt! :stoned:

When I said my skills were rusty what I meant was I didn’t take baseline measurements and make a plan before I dumped it in the fucking reservoir ???

In the aquarium hobby I could have murdered them all doing that shit. Speaking of which, I’m going to be using aquarium sponge filters for beneficial bacteria in my Hydro system.

I still do this. Hydro Cowboy lol ? I guess I was one. When I was running 2 27 gal totes of rez and having to refill em everyday so much time was spent pH-ing. And ya I have a big bag of those pipettes. Had to buy another bag recently cuz I lost my other big bag in my shed ?

Cap’m’s log;
Today we’re moving that cloner to the real veg room. Last night I came up with a floor plan for the flower room, I can effectively light up 12’x4’ for now, will expand it to 12’x6’ after some wiring upgrades.

I ordered six shorty 4’x2’ tables from walmart, we’re planning to flower 2 plants per table, a mix of RDWC, DWC, and Coco/Blumats applications for now, as gear and timing allows, with a trend toward RDWC. Right now the flower room is pulling around 1400 watts for the LEDs, through a mix of quantum-esque boards that include Far Red diodes. I have something like 225 watts of UVB fixtures to hang up, as well. My veg lights are a mix of 60 watt warm-color shop LEDs and 225 watt cool-white high bay shop lights from Costco, the plants seem to like them both, and so do I.

Keeping it stupid, simple.

Gah I miss RDWC. The bluelab guardian meters are straight money but they’re even more expensive now. I had a super solid DIY RDWC unit all oldskool super souped up muscle car n shit. Would love to chop it up about RDWC I really loved that setup and would’ve still be running it today had some life stuffs didn’t happen. Fkn looks great man I’ll be watching ?

Not saying it’s the way to go, but I bought both my Bluelab Guardian’s and my combo meter off ebay. As far as I can tell, only thing that queers on them is the PH probe, which are replaceable for $60 +-. I keep a lookout for deals on ph probes.
One came with a cut power cord?, waggoed and worked great. Reminds me of GSA sales, discombobulate a piece of equipment to get rid of it?

I’ve never tried the other high end probes.

I use cheap chinese knockoff pH pens, but I have several so I can test them against each other, as needed, and the new ones I bought are waterproof and come with replaceable probes and an extra probe in the box. All pH probes go wonky eventually if they aren’t stored in distilled water all the time, and very few of us can manage that effectively.

I need to spring for an ePAR meter, or similar newschool light meter, and probably a DO meter too.
