Re: Aberration Goes ker Bloom! - 2009

why dont you guy get an older no heat clothes dryer that would work great even if th eelement does work it is only one wire underneath

wow! that's a GREAT idea PAchamama! I am about to get a new washer/dryer too! I was going to put the old ones on craigs list or something. Looks like it'll be just the washer for sale now. I can unhook the heating element and should be good. Never even thought of that. Thanks a bunch...you just saved me a ton of headaches trying to fab something up. +rep

yeah just un hook it i would go a little furter try to elmininate the wire compltely just because you never want a spark or anything dangerous.
also DO NOT FORGET TO BLOCK OFF /CLOSE THE LINT TRAP and build up the entrance hole a little btit

Great idea, except a batch of soil by my recipe wouldn't fit. I have been thing about how I can convert a 65 gal plastic drum I have though...

Thank you. It's good to hear my details aren't too boring.

Thanks. I'm looking forward to it too.

Re: Aberration Goes ker Bloom! - 2009

I removed the shelf the dehumidifier used to sit on, and I re-hung light #1 with pulleys and a cleat. I will need to do this with the rest, because soon I won't be able to get a stepladder in there to adjust the chains. So now it looks like this:

Doesn't look much different. It is very late or I would take pictures of what I did.

All three MTx# failed to provide drainage again, so I'll give them more next time. It's like dancing.

Pictures!

Remember when I mentioned the soil-less mix heating up? It has started:

Here's a closeup:

OK, so here is a shot into the bloom room. It's even tighter in there than it looks:

Here's a shot looking down on MTO2. I pointed out the approximate corners of her canopy. That 240VAC outlet on the right is 4-1/5 feet from the corner:

Here's a shot under MTO2's 'skirt':

Here's a wider shot of the forest floor:

I had a serious condensation problem on the first two segments of the light ventilation system. The incoming air is pretty cold here, and the cold duct was condensing the moisture in the room and dripping on the girls. So I improvised. Using binder clips and old towels, I wrapped those two sections. Not to absorb water, because it all stays as dry as a bone now. Rather to insulate the ducting. Because the ducting doesn't see warm air anymore, no condensation forms, and it doesn't form on the towels either. It's ghetto, but it works perfectly for the moment:

I mentioned I rehung light #1. Well, here's how:

The cord ties to the eye off the top at the left. It comes down, through the pulleys across the hood, and back up on the right. From there it loops to another big eye on the wall and down to a cleat. It's an easy way to hang it without extra lines. The pulleys pulled the hanger brackets toward the center and made it all screwy, so I decided I needed a spreader bar up there. In the closeup, you can see that the piece of 1x2 I used is kept centered by a screw and kept elevated by a zip tie. This is very effective. The bar won't go anywhere, but it is under very little real tension. The screws and zip ties get no real pressure at all. It's very strong and simple, and it worked great. I need to do the same to the rest.

Here's a shot with the eye and cleat on the wall pointed out. I tied the cord to the cleat, and when I want to raise it, I just add another turn on the cleat without untie-ing it:

Finally, here's "air traffic control". The AC is overhead. The carbon filter is below in the back. You can see both oscillating fans. Just above the one on the left is the CO2 controller, and the output tube is taped to the base of the left fan, pointed into the blades. Bottom-center is the dehumidifier. It's a lot quieter on the concrete floor, but is still rattles. The shaft is clearly poorly balanced. It drives me mad. I can't wait for it to fail:

Yeah, they are looking healthy. Thanks!

I tried to find the one shot and no luck with google. What exactly is it?

It is made by the same local company that makes the nutes I use: Oregon's Only Organics. Here's a shot of the label:

Here's what it looks like:



The myco content is the same as the Wonder Dust I use.
