    Also, got a pair of these en route to me:



    As it is right now the fan is noisy. Not really motor noisy, but whoooosh noisy. Definitely overkill for this little tent, but with the big motor on speed control my guess is that it should be pretty quiet. Plus, it gives me the flexibilty to runn all the way up to 1000 watts without fear of any cooling issues. I bought a Speedster controller for my little axial fan and nearly killed it. Blessing in disguise in a way, saved me from putting that shitty router controller anywhere near this 300 dollar fan!

    Cool Flowering DAY 29

    24 clones were taken today from the six remaining females, four cuttings from each:

    One of the plants has a peculiar light olive drab color to it, distinct from the rest. Wonder what that's all about?

    Joined up on Breedbay yesterday, seems like a great source of info...

    What brand bulb are you running with your solis tek? Grow is looking great.

    Thanks! I am currently running a twenty dollar Ultra Sun 400w HPS bulb, with the Solis-Tek being dimmed to 400 of course. It's pretty cool, I believe the ballast steps up the wattage when you turn it on as opposed to just bam! full on power.
    Perhaps I'll spring for a 4 or 600 watt Hortilux bulb in the future, but I've spent so much money already and the reflector sits pretty close to the canopy as it is. The results thus far are already leaps & bounds above my previous fluoro grows.

    Power consumption at the wall socket is currently 600 watts (597 to be exact).


    Cheers to all who are following!

    Default Day 31: Flowering

    Canopy has finally leveled off and I don't have to constantly crop every day. Now it's just time to sit back, smoke a doob or two[hundred], and watch them fill on out. Keeping an eye on the ppms and pH, but all that stuff remains rock stable given the 20 gallon reservoir.

    Temp inside is 78 F/58% RH. Tomorrow is supposed to be a record breaking day weather wise, so lots of data will be recorded from all of my little setups. Tomorrow will yield a goldmine of info...

    Played around with the ebb & flow timing today while adjusting pH. Originally I had it set to 5 minutes on/2:25:00 off. Well I am using a needle wheel pump hooked up to an air pump here so let's take advantage of this bad boy! Thinking of this in terms of a dwc/ebb & flow hybrid type of system.

    Currently my timer is set to 12 minutes on/2:18:00 off. Careful observation is underway...
