    Can you take a 1 gallon pot of soil and wash it down the utility drain in my basement??

    paint strainer. wrap the whole rootball and wash. I haven't done it since I usually go to dwc straight from root cube but have hydrated bricks of coco with strainers. Things the strainer doesn't catch will easily drain.

    UV?

    395nm is on the upper end of UVA and far from UVB territory which is what usually causes uv damage. I've run UVA T5 tubes as close as a few inches on seedlings/clones without issues. It also appears dim because you're at the edge of the visible spectrum. imo, you could probably wrap your...

    Condensate pumps

    I use this condensate pump with my dehu. Its rated for a 20ft lift. They have some that are rated for 15ft iirc.. so depending on what condensate pump you have will determine how high it can pump. I'm only going a few feet but havent had to worry about backflow. As far as I've noticed the pump...

    Your peppers please!

    tried some growbucket sip inserts with some rando peppers outdoors this year.. also tried some in grow bags.. both turned out decently. had some really gnarly looking superhots.

    I'm looking for colorful buds, what's stains you suggest.

    Red hot cookies. showed black/purple as soon as pistils popped, turned reddish in flower, then deep purple after drying. No need for cold shenanigans even though I gave it to them anyways. checks all your boxes... at the same time. lol yield was kind of meh tho. decent

    Drying in a fridge

    this is also my understanding.. "most sensitive @ 280nm" since earth sees very little of it.. and plants don't work in absolutes so still affects receptors just not as optimal as at 280nm. (which is UVC territory)

    Drying in a fridge

    starting off with 2fters would have prob been a better option than using 4ft in the 5x5. This way I could experiment in a different tent, on less plants to get it dialed in. I think the run before lowering lights, gave me confidence that I should able to with a little tweaking to the timing.

    Drying in a fridge

    280nm is technically UVC so I'm assuming if there isn't any bleed over spectrum (or effects from deterioration) it doesn't have it. As far as observed effects and prob not comparable to LED setups.. with limited data (5 cycles and different cultivars though I am on 3rd cycle on a set of...

    Drying in a fridge

    you could still use a fridge with an inkbird to control both the dehu and turn the fridge on/off. I think a fridge would be ideal if you could control humidity/temps since you can hang a whole plant in it and have much more room to work with. Similar to the way people make automated meat...

    Drying in a fridge

    Since the stuff is jarred, I didn't really consider it in the humidity. Once I get to the next cycle I'll grab the #'s with some fresh flower instead of with the usual hang first routine. As far as lights in the profile pic tent.. Photontek X600w Pro, 4 x 4ft Agromax 10k+UVA, 1 x 4ft Agromax...

    Drying in a fridge

    Yeah I haven't seen the need for humidifying. Adding the sponge will prob spike humidity past 70RH w/out even adding flower in my setup.

    Drying in a fridge

    fwiw I watched a recent future cannabis project episode where one of the guests had a Cannatrol fridge. (which does seems to be a similar setup) To keep moisture up in their setup they used a moistened sponge in a small tray which seems simple enough. This goes back to when I mentioned earlier...

    Drying in a fridge

    it really depends on what I'm using the cooler for.. generally I hang whole plant to dry and if I miss the humidity window.. I throw them on the tray instead of jarring. (some people paper bag it) Mainly using it to eliminate having to burp jars. When I get to the dryness I like.. then I jar...

    Drying in a fridge

    no drain hose either..just enough humidity to remove but not enough to build up in the container. Everytime I check it.. it's bone dry. Even when packed with flower there isn't too much humidity to remove in the small space I found.

    Drying in a fridge

    Looking good. You can draw out drying to over 2 months if dialed in right. fwiw after using a similar setup for over a year.. I've NEVER had to empty the dehu.

    pH meter storage

    fwiw.. BlueLab Don’t soak the pen in RO (Reverse Osmosis) water (rinsing in RO water is acceptable, but never soak or rinse in distilled or deionised water. Apera DO NOT soak or store any pH probes in purified water like distilled water, deionized water, or reverse osmosis water since it could...

    More THC testing – UVA vs UVB vs near-UV

    regardless of what hoomans think.. nature doesn't work in absolutes. I'm pretty sure it doesn't work lik 286nm it's all good, no need for sunscreen.. 285nm.. ah shit, time to activate. There is some variability at play here. over and under. too much under and you're in UVC territory. 280nm...

    More THC testing – UVA vs UVB vs near-UV

    Think he may be referring to photosynthetic spectrums? Sounds like he's just considering them as PAR.. which they aren't very on their own.

    Rooting powder, cloning gel, water

    doesn't really need any but currently use microbe life root dip soaked root riot cubes.. then again I never have issues cloning.. clonex gels, hormex 8, aloe, etc. For me root dip soaked cubes pops more roots out of the cube, faster and never had "knots without roots" with it. It's also not...
