1BMM's CAVE....

[GreenBuddha619]

Very nice 1BMM! Was just throwing out suggestions...I know how it gets when you get excited and have a million things to take care of when setting up a room! Looking forward to seeing the room all done with the girls in their new home!

 

[Heads Up]

I'm going with a six inch vortex from plantlighting hydroponics, one hundred fifty bucks and a phresh filter. I just can't decide if I want the sixteen inch or twenty four inch filter from the hydro source.

In my case life is a bitch, I married one, and then she divorced me. Oh well shit happens, think I'll go play golf.

IS YOUR FOURSOME FULL???? Looking for a spot . . . . .

Them phresh filters look like the buiz. Cant wait to try mine out. And in RE to you question from the 600. My shipping was included with the filter cost HU. I believe its coming from the hydro source aswell.

 

[Heads Up]

shnkrmn, sorry but yes the foursome is full and anyway I've been done for hours, shot an 86. Masonman, thanks, they are the only place I've found for phresh filters that include shipping.

 

[1badmasonman]

Lets hope they work as good as they look ayy bro.

Hey headsup i seen that you said the seed fairy got mad at you romXtw. Are they all fuct?

 

[1badmasonman]

a little too lake now, but I don't think you'll ever use up that ph up. I bought a gallon of each up and down, and I've ever only used about 10 drops of ph up. You'll probably only use the ph down, as bubbles/ oxyen makes the ph go up. The more oxygen the more it goes up. But that's not a bad thing. The more bubbles the happier the plants.

As for the solutions, the two differet ph solutions are used to calibrate the meter to two values. You can just use one, but the two stage calibration makes it more accurate. I could explain, but it would be boring and take a lot of typing. Not sure, but I think the probe solution is something to keep your probe in when it's not in the water. It should always stay wet. Letting it dry out will mess it up, and you shouldn't just let it sit in water when it's not in your tank. Does that make sense? SOme might say it would be a waste of money for that stuff, but I think it's cheaper than getting a new probe.

Hope that helps bru. Cant wait to see what happens.

peace

Hey jig my man sorry i missed your post earlier. I appreciate the advice. Ive been doing a hell of alot of reading on the EC TDS PPM PH everything. Trying to school my brain on this shit. Starting to make sense to me though.

 

[Heads Up]

I did the deed masonman. I bought a six inch vortex and a six inch phresh filter. The fan was one sixty three with shipping from plantlightinghydroponics.com and the filter was one eighty three with shipping and an extra pre-filter. It came from botanical.com. They have a sale going on for phresh filters. Forty bucks cheaper than any other place I've seen on the web.

Damn wish id waited to order mine. I got the 8" but still $40 is $40. Good looking out Headsup. I see you finally got some roots on them clones Are you runnung the misters or just bubbling?

 

[Heads Up]

Just bubbling. It would have been too much of a pain in the butt to get the water pump and the 'H' out of there at the moment. I can see a difference in just twelve hours. The one plant on the right with one root, it has gotten considerably longer. My casey jones popped a nice tap root, it's in a peat pot in the tent. The headband is starting to crack and should be in a peat pot along with her room-mate by tonight. I can't put the other mothers to sleep. They're going into the flowering room tonight, I'll get a few nice buds off them. I figured I would do that rather than take cuttings.

Wow I just found this thread, great stuff! Sub'd & + Rep!

Thats good Headsup... Your getting her now. Once they start rooting they take off mad crazy in just a few days. Are you running one pump then HU? Ive found that 2 works even better. For $20 more cant beat it. Anyways your well on your way my man.

Thanks Weedler glad to have you.

 

[1badmasonman]

Well im deciding weather or not to order new cool hoods or use the vert cool tube which is 6" round and 4ft long. I just want to make sure the light gets dispersed evenly. Gonna have to scratch my head for a bit haha.

Not bad, not bad!

 

[1badmasonman]

Thanks LCL. kinda putzin waiting on the new equipment to arrive and then its on like donkey kong. Cant do much till then. I think im am going to start some new strains though. Next up will be Timewarp & TimewarpXRomulan. Need to get some soil in the morn.

 

[1badmasonman]

Aight peeps. My wiring has had me concerned for some time now. Mainly what scares me is the high load the lights put on the household wiring. Im going to be running the lights from now on through a dedicated sub-panel and hard wired into one of these CAP units.

The MLC-4X and MLC-4XT Master Lighting Controllers are the best devices for controlling up to four HID lights from one time-clock or controller. You run 30 amp, 120/240 volt power into the MLC-4, and all of the outlets are controlled by one 120 volt trigger cable. You can plug the trigger cable into a standard 24 hour timer, environmental controller or one of the C.A.P. HLC series of garden and lighting protection devices. The MLC-4X and MLC-4XT has four 120/240 volt style outlets which allows for running your ballasts at 120/240 volts without having to change out your ballast power cords. The MLC-4XT has an integrated timer that allows you to control your MLC with the built-in time clock. The MLC-4X’s are rated for 30 amps @ 120/240 volts.


If anybody has used this product id sure like to hear your comments on it. It looks like the solution to bypassing my 3 extention cords that power the room. The nice thing about this thing is i can run my lights on 240v witch is more efficient than 110. And i dont have to worry about overloading the old wiring within the walls. Additionally my power panel is within the grow room so less amperage will be drwan from running multiple cords snaked from diffrent curcuits.

Off to shopping lol. Peace

soil?
i though it was hydro this time?
na just kidding bro.
so what are al the strains you will be running this time

 

[1badmasonman]

ayy Mcp Yep def going hydro the seeds im starting are regular beans so before going into them buckets there def going to be female. Also out of the many seeds i have of this strain ill be selecting just a few of the bread winners to become mothers for future grows. Especially for the outdoor season next year. I will also be running the same strains in the hydro.

keeping a mother in soil is easy and care free for the most part. They dont need much but a floro and water until they use up all the nutes in the soil. Meanwhile its producing plenty of healthy branches to take clones from.

 

[Heads Up]

masonman, I am running two pumps, got two foot long air stones hooked to each, one port for each stone. I haven't used that product, sorry I can't help ya' with that one but CAP makes some good stuff. You gonna run one thirty amp line to your grow room? You would draw much less amperage if you can run your ballast on two twenty. Your electric bill will be the same but less amps on the entire service.

 

[las fingerez]

is that the crack with the voltage? i never knew that! lucky for us over here its all 230v
