Received the new Oscillating tower Fan, it has helped somehow raise my RH some, which I am grateful for. Fuck those clip on fans, garbage!

waiting on the new 4 x 4 tent, UPS is slow here, probably I'll be antsy till 6 pm!
Air movement will pull moisture from soil and other grow mediums and raise rh.

In my grow rh usually starts dropping about the I need to water.

I accomplished finding out that there really is a difference in expensive paint vs cheap paint. I needed some white paint to touch up some baseboards. I've always got the expensive Valspar Signature for my projects. But decided since it was just some touch up, I'll get the cheaper Valspar stuff. It did work just fine for touch ups. But then decided to finally paint the bare wood trim in the hallway to match the rest of the house. It's coverage is shit. 2 coats now and a third still needed. And it runs pretty bad. I've learned my lesson.

Just leave the top off for a day or two and it will thicken up.

I’ve always liked the valspar stuff , been using it for about 35 years. The job I have now has a contract with SW so we use it most of the time. I probably put on between 500 to a thousand gallons a year. I did 20 gallons this week in two days.

SW was always a little too rich for my blood. :). I've used the Valspar Signature for every room of my house going back 12 years and was always impressed with the coverage. I have really old, fucked up 100+ year old plaster walls. So 2 coats every time to ensure uniformity but always happy with the end result. For my hallways that I*m doing, I justbtook the yellow kitchen, pink bedroom and blue bathroom and got a pretty nice blueish gray. I actually like it better than the blueish gray I just bought for the living room lol.

We get the SW Pro mar 200 for 8$ a gallon. That shit sells for around 50$ to the general public, my personal company pays 35$ and I’ve had an account for over 30 years.
