Alright, it's time to KICK this off on a Friday with a BIG Update... some REALLY Cool News and yeah... HAPPY Friday it BE.
Where to start sometimes... with my wacky wandering mind, this Damn Bubble Rosin GOT me this Mornin'.
I put the 2nd tent up yesterday, well, the tents been put together for a few days just been chippin' away at putting it together, but yesterday I put in a Ton of work and finished everything the right way. I upgraded the Air intake elbow to a 10" and there is absolutely no more pressure like squeezing a juice box(or something). The old 6" elbow just wasn't enough for the taller Gorilla Lite that is 6ft 7 and the pressure was just too much. Knocked a fan down a time or two(over time slowly slipping off of the tent pole). I had to safety strap them so no accidental fallings on the girls... has happened tho...' Murphy's Law and all that. The smaller tent sucks in a little from the 6" intake, but it's not bad, and I'll probably upgrade that setup to an 8". I put 4" Vortex on the roof of the tent, with a cardboard spacer and a 4" hole for the piping(10" hole and 4" Fan so an insert is needed). I could of tied it up(bungee's) in the inside of the tent like I have to do in the smaller tent(No other option), but I prefer it on the outside. All legal here and a fan on top or inside isn't going to change the fact of it being noticeable, Tall and Stealthy... NOT so much.
Lighting, I had two QB 96's going last few grows, but they run hotter than I like, even in Cooler temperatures so I bought another one last season and had to install the new one to the system, the other two were already Plug N Play ready. Put the light together and added two wire hangers I had on hand from Old Mars lights that came with 4 wire hangars(that I didn't need at the time), thank you Mars for the Recycled tools that keep on giving. Really liking the flexibility already with 3 lights and MUCH cooler, I'm feeling No heat right now and the plants are getting right around 25 to 27K of light so roughly, 350-400umol. I just started turning them up slowly... Lately. Most of the grow has been on the lowest setting of 108 Watts Only.
Installed the 2 clip on fans(taken apart and cleaned) that aren't clip on anymore, just strapped to the pole with some old garden wire tie I had on hand. I also cleaned both of the Pre filters for the Scrubber, One spare if needed, I shouldn't need it since it's all fresh and clean, and just put together. I will however clean the small tents pre-filter right before Flip.
I will say this about the Gorilla Lite, it's kind of a PITA to setup by yourself, but CAN and has been done and it's only the 2nd time putting it together from Scratch so I expect Road Blocks and fighting me a bit, it's the Normal. I think that's it, I had to run to the Depot to get the 10" elbow($12), and another Surge protector, but I was at the finish line and enjoyed the break and all the hard work was Complete.
Now for the Cool and unusual news this morning, I was nominated for Grow Journal of the Month... SHOCKED... YEAH just a Little(Not worthy)... but what a wonderful honor it is just to be nominated and I'm not used to being on blast... so it's a different feeling for me... I LIKE IT!
Enough of me going On and On, Bring ON the SHOW!
