Ive been spraying soap water one day then alcohol water the next.. been repeating this for afew weeks now.. the last couple days i havent seen any flys.. this doesnt mean they are gone ( im outdoors open air) just they havent been on my plants the last couple days so im stoked..
As much as I hate to say it, "It is what it is".
Went with a higher seer unit, it's a little more but will make a difference in the electric bill.
I had to look up what the "seer" was all about (basically higher efficiency rating).
This was a learning experience.
I usually used about 15-20 pounds of ice in a 5 gallon bucket. Did it in summer because I didn't want to play with ice in the winter. I used a paint stirring wand on my drill.
Same here though I quickly figured out that my battery powered Makita didn't have the speed to really give the goop & ice a good thrashing so I switched to a 110v craftsman for much better yield.
I definitely fucked up by going with bare minimum supply of ice.
I didn't work it too hard because I did that once and ended up with green hash instead of the yellow color. I have the three graduated bags to filter it with.
Rinsing before using mesh bags will get rid of the green stuff.
I try to go slow and I feel the less the better. Less plant material gets in it.
Alcohol will clean that up.
Yep, alcohol and hot water cleaned up the bags nicely.
Yeah you need it like we need heating systems here...It's not a luxury when it's that hot!! Hopefully you save a bunch in your electric bills!!
This month is going to suck because the old one was running all the time and not cooling.
