Wash rinse repeat. Taking maybe 15-20 minutes each pass. Upped peroxide to 4oz (concentrated) as she was definitely being hit by pm. The temperature swings are not letting up so she had to be taken a few 7-10 days early too. Indoor will probably come down toady too, already moved flower to tend and switched room to veg. Will tear down tent, do some root drenches and heat treats before taking clones for brtrib.

Snowed in the high country last night, windy AF here but looks like a calm day.

Hatched a plan to set up both areas (tent and room) so I can switch them between veg and flower. Tent will run negative with filtered exhauast to the room so I can make seed runs easier.

Didnt get the indoor chopped, took me a day to process the outdoor and and a day to recover. Filled buckets so water can warm up a bit and I think I am going to run 6 (peroxide, baking soda, lemon juice, baking soda, peroxide, water). I could see what looked like pulp from the lemon juice in the final rinse and I was also still getting visible contam like pine seeds and beetles, fungus gnats etc. in the 2nd peroxide and bs dunks. The indoor should be "cleaner" but I still want to get this process down and plan to use it on both indoor and outdoor.

Pulled a lot of stuff from the garden today, will make room for more plants. No more hydronics all passive heat management, no more mono uva/b/c, 660/730

Much cleaner looking.

Looking to get a cmh to replace the 6 cobs hanging overhead.

Cut 4in off one side of the tent and 1.5 off the other and made use of some vertical space by shoving the tent on top of my air handler boxes.

Used to have one inside the tent and one in the room both pulling fresh air, now tent will pull air from room and room is on fresh air.
Off the arduino and back on timers and purchased controllers, that and getting rid of the hydronics has really opened the space up.

Getting set to install the new ac infinty temp humidity controller. It won't be compatible with my t6 fan because it dosent have a plug for a power supply, only the molex for the pwm, so hopefully it works with the s6.

Hopefully I have this figured, steady decline since last res change on Oct 7. Here they are on the 8th

Purpling stems, yellowing, stunted, minimal growth, worse on newer transplants. I though my issue was more related to a rough transplant but I also used my tap (well with water softener) at the last res change instead of ro. for the 1st time.

Probably shoulda waited a few more days before doing this but recovery on ro was progressing well...
Moved the 6 cobs into the tent but still need to wire up driver. Installed the cmh at 3ft above "canopy", ran for the 12hr lamp burn in and probably should not do that to plants that haven't seen the light yet.

They look a bit saturated. Coulda cut some of the 400W of led earlier too. Gonna run on just the cmh till lights out now.

Did bump temp by 4-5F but will have to toy with intensity on leds.

BTW I thought new digital balasts were supposed to not have as much interference??

Wow kapow, lots of intricate equipment going on in that pick of controls!
Whats the gest of that filter box!?

That whole microcontrolller (arduino x2) was removed. I ended up getting a couple of these timers
20201024_162303.jpg
and upgraded one of my ac infinity controllers from temp only to temp and humidity.
The boxes are just a fan housing and filter plenum. The filter is one intended for return air on a forced air system. I started with merv 13 filters and ordered merv 13 for replacements but merv 6 came instead, should be good for pollen but not mold ?‍♂️

The foam packing that comes with the fans worked great for mounting, glued and screwed it to the plywood (see screws poking through?)

Had to bust outthe label maker, kept getting confused - why is that fan running??

Trimmed back for cloning, everything got a haircut, vinerate tomorrow.

The other males got topped/cjopped back to 2 growth nodes.

I will be running lights at night. I think the cmh was a good choice, won't have to run the heater as much and it will force me to keep veg area going strong theough the winter, which means plenty of fire to put out next spring. Still need to dial the LEDs back a bit for a bit yet.

Kill-a-watt says 345 for the cmh and 109, 126 for the boards, cobs reapectively, both at their minimum as well. Seedlings are under 50W of cobs.

...never hit post I guess this was yesterday.

Today is 100% germination (1 helmut) 20201028_081206.jpg

The data logging on this beta software from ac infinity is pretry sweet. The event log records when the fan goes on and why, really useful.

The trending tells you where it sits most of the time and there is some advanced automation that I haven't had the need/time to mess with.

6-7in just now coming out of the freezer, they are hoping to pour some footing today for the deck.....hope for a heat wave tonoght.
You remember me running my mouth about how nice the weather is down this way. We got 5 inches, and it's been cold af. Snowing sideways, x shut down the interstate, just starting to warm up today. A long time resident on the local news, " I've never seen it snow like this here" ?
