My first thought was the dehumi was sucking water from the reservoirs beacuse they were filling every cycle, but it was the wet weather. the weather has changed now (very dry) like 34% humidity.. and my humi is set at 45%.. so for the time being the dehumi hasnt kicked on in a few days.. not a drop in the tank.

Yea this nasty tapwater threw me a curve ball...LOL Of course i didnt cath it until it was flush time....!!!!!!! lord have mercy.

try ebay, thats were Im gone to get mine at. plus for like $24 you can get a tds meter that runs inline with it. Im gone to make it measure the res instead. you should be able to get a used one cheap (ro machine) or Im gone to make one using several filters. just so thats 270 ppm less that could be nutrients.

You i figured i would just write you you are the one that always ansers all my questions on stinks forum anyway. First you said the 3' fence was to small go to the outside garden center. How long are they? I did not see them on the plans what size do i cut them? Also the ball valve question did you buy the threaded one or unthreaded one? I don't want to use the brass one i want the exact same sent up as you guys got. So what are they hose adapters but plastic? I had pics of what i bought but i deleated them they are on stinks forum if you can look on their you would help me a lot. i found a good place for the net pots neoprene collars ans sprayers but the timer? were did you get yours how much?

My fence posts are 4 ft long, but you can cut them any size you want, it depends on how much room you have to work with. I found mine at a local fencing company, they cost me about $70 bucks total for all 6 of my 4ft lengths. (do an internet search in your area for fencing companys and ask them if they have 4inch pvc fencing) As for the ball valve; it doesnt really matter, if you get threaded or not threaded, if you get threaded then you will have to have a threaded connection is all, brass works fine or plastic, it all gets the job done. if you use non threaded then you will have to use glue. not a big problem.

Funny thing, as soon as i started using clean bottled water in the reservoirs the smell in the room went from awesome, to insane awesome.. now its a more sweet smell.


jem,, i already answered that question in the link in my previous post.

Hey how's your flush going? I've got a feeling you have a harvest coming up. I've got one coming up in about 10 days myself. I'm pretty excited and I'm thrilled to see how your babies turned out!

The flowers are super frosted..i am a little dissapointed in this ak47 pheno.. it didnt quite bulk up like the others.. but oh well, im gonna get some blueberry and og kush clones and maybe a couple others to try soon.
