Ttystikk's vertical goodness

In other news, my chiller is finally on a truck and headed my way! The delay is not the fault of the manufacturer at all; they've been plagued first with floods, then with trucking companies that cherry pick their loads in the area, mine isn't as profitable as a full truck load.

It's a good thing the weather is cold here this week, hope it gets here in time for the big warmup lol

Looked at the weather forecast for tomorrow and it seems like I'm in the bullseye for coldest spot in the country.

Good weather for waiting on a chiller, lol

@borbor Hey buddy, long time no see! You staying warm tonight, brother?

@ttystikk
Got a fire in the fireplace, and the clear on my dabber! Doin' well on this end, these chilly days are receiving a warm welcome in an uninsulated garage.
On a related note, after this crop I'm hanging up the trimmers til I find a more suitable place, asap!

I'm hearing ya loud and clear on all fronts- cold and otherwise. I might even have a line on helping you find a suitable place. Hit me up this weekend sometime?

@ttystikk ever have you ever thought about doing some ~25 gallon no till pots in your setup? Once you got your medium like you wanted you would only need a top drip of agua. Just curious

Hey thats what I do. sorta, 4 20 gallon no-tills. Check out link in my sig.

Hey ttystikk, quick question. I'm about to plant my seedlings getting ready for my first dwc, I figure you hand water until the roots hit the water. Do you need to add nutes right from the get go, or just give the seedling plain water for the first week?

If you have a rough ppm guide for dwc I'd be most appreciative If you shared it

So converted on my ec meter that would be roughly 300-500ppm. Wouldn't this be too high for a seedling?

300 is fine..

Cheers. I'll start at 300 and work my way up.

I prefer EC, it's less confusing because not all ppm scales are the same.

I don't start from seeds, I'm clone only.

I start them in rock wool cubes or the aerocloner, then transplant to pots in an ebb n flood table.

Cheers, I normally clone as well. But I'm ditching what I have and trying the fast version of green poison. I'm going to throw up a grow journal soon.

I start seedlings at around .3 EC

So I've had the chance to sample a little from the first batch run under COB, and...

Dayum. Super strong flavors, and I haven't been this stoned from just two hits in- I'm too baked to remember how long.

Nugs are greasy, dense and hard. Foxtailing vanished. Stupid frosty. If I didn't know that COB LED has no UV component, I'd bet big money this was grown with it.

It's gonna make plenty of weight, even if my dumb ass did manage to stunt it early. Record yields should be just a matter of keeping it between the lines through the finish going forward.

The light is powerful, but forgiving. That says all the right things about the technology.

The biggest problem during the run?

Would you believe I ran them too COLD?

@.Pinworm. this penis is for you. Welcome back.

And in other news, I just got my new iPonic 624 home and I'm unboxing it now!

does it come with all the "stuff needed" to fully control your room, or do they nickel and dime you for accessories after purchasing the main unit?

The unit itself is limited to 15A@120V, so if you need to run high power equipment directly, you'll need some relays. Other than that, it sure seems complete to me; it even came with the communication module that was originally optional. Two sensors for two spaces. Obvi, I gotta have WiFi for it to use it. It has two USB ports inside, I bet one could be for data logging and the other is advertised as being where you plug your own control schedule in for it to run.

I'll know more after I read thru the manual, but so far I've heard nothing but good things about the unit and it certainly appears to be professionally thought out, manufactured and assembled inside and out.

I don't even want to think about how much time I'm saving by not having to build my own arduino based setup, that alone is worth the up front cost!
