Exactly mate. Best of it is they were grilling me about who deals in the area lol.

i said to them come off it I’ve been self sufficient for 3 years now the fuck do I know lol.

back then I wanted better and better all the time and completely forgot the golden rule.

KISS - Keep It Simple Stoner!

So now I’ve really stripped it back and any alterations I make are to make it easier on me and not because i “need” this or that.

hence the latest drip feed DIY project for feeding twice a day.

Fill my tote up once a week roughly and set it and forget it. View attachment 4940443View attachment 4940444View attachment 4940445View attachment 4940446

I have just checked the gauge it says 34% humidity in the middle of the plants
That’s not too bad.

I think your gauge up where it was has been giving you slightly wrong readings due to the radiant heat from the lamp.

the biggest issue you have now is your extraction.

muddle along for this one but I would recommend either

RVK150A1 or the L1 version.

BUT

if your current fan and filter are matched you’ll need a new filter for a bigger fan.

I use a 450m3/h fan and a 900m3/h filter, which has lasted me since I got busted due to being oversized for my needs.

Ok nice one mate I think il try and make one myself, and yes that was the gauge inside the ring detective haha it is lodged in the plant now tho should I check what it says
If you are going to make one bare in mind that mine might be changing over time to incorporate 1 ring that passes around each plant with 4mm flexi hose and some valves to adjust flow rate as this will give even flow from every drip point.

Thanks for the advice mate , I have just opened them, I have just bought some fusion co2 foliar spray do you think that will help at this stage of flower and would it be OK to get it on the buds?
I've never heard of it bud but I'm not a fan of unnecessary additives, if a+b didn't have everything then I'd be seeing deficiencies.

I wouldn’t go as far as say it's a conspiracy but it's in the interests of the nutrient companies to keep you buying stuff, they don't give a fuck about your plants or mine it's about £££/$$$

Honestly.
Get your environment sorted first.

get the hang of using the basic A/B with EC truncheon feeding daily.

do a few grows like this (don’t buy because someone else has)!!!!

I’ve been hand feeding for the last 9 years and I’ve automated now because of the labour involved in filling my 25L container at 41 years old lol.

so now I do 2x25L in one night into my tote to fill it up and have the remainder of the 3rd 25L for a top up.

Alright mate cheers I'm going to make another feed up in a minute so to clarify il be adding 50ml of a&b to the 24 ltr tub and that's it, did you not say you use calmag and salts sometimes (I have tried to find your post with the nutes you add but there's so many messages on the the thread I can't find it)

From what @Star Dog was saying 25ml if A/B together will make 1.0EC

Can you confirm please Star Dog?

Again I only add calmag because I need it for my water.

I only a Epsom salts once a week and only a little pinch on the top of each plant in coco

Nice, I am managing the hand feeding at the minute but I can see myself getting fed up over time
