I’m off to buy a cold plasma machine.

Really interesting article about growing plants. Mostly focused on growing tomatoes in space.


Loads of ideas in there and loads of links for further reading - lots on roots popping seeds.

And remember - NO SIPS IN SPACE! I added that bit but its true

So much for that 48-page proposal to NASA I was about to submit…..

:rofl:

So are we all going to have lightning spheres in our grow tent amongst the plants :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Pretty cheap to make. Only any good at that scale for treating seeds looking for that 25% extra growth they talk about.

Which is interesting - they absolutely kill all the microbes, bacteria and even viruses dead dead. Which is contradictory to keeping that mini biozone around the seed.

3 good Youtube videos for “build plasma wand”

Must be all the shocks I picked up along the road 🤣

Mini dehumidifier arrive today from China. Its 110v despite being sold with a “Thai Plug” even I’m not stupid enough to do that (again) 😅

Its meant to be illegal to import 110v stuff.

Someone foolishly gave me the builders phone number. Pretty sure he realises we’re not actually friends and its not a big joke now. Also told him we’re building a new house next year and wouldn’t be considering him for the contract.

I mean I’d like to build a new house next year.. 😂

This time tomorrow lights will be on plants will be in.


Nick
 
Ok no plants under lights tonight. But ai think the room will be finished. Just some finishing touches after dinner.

Obviously there’s a Co2 shortage. Like seriously the girl in the shop is challenged. Even & Co’s legendary patience is nearly done. Anyway we have two baby tanks for the flower room.

Irrigation pipes and collars going in now. Drainage complete. Just a single piece of 4” duct and a blue spacer to fit. Oh and the AC wifi controller. That’s it.

21 5 Gallon Airpots to fill full @Bill284 method. Managed to source bokashi and frass foe the first time so that’s going in.
The coco peat is now labelled better. Its buffered and has myco apparently. No way! That explains some stuff. I think. This goes back to a nute range change between first and third grows I think.

5 gallons x 21 is 105 gallons. 105 Gallons equals (approx)

420 Litres.

Just sayin’ its a fortuitous number for this grow I hope.

So. So. So close.

Yesterday I cut 21 lengths of irrigation pipe, a 3mm hard to source one all the same. The distance to the furthest seat. I also bought hooks to wind the excess on the wall by the manifolds.

The boy and his mate knew this. Its to keep the water delivery uniform. The corner furthest the last two grows has always been way smaller.

They cut them all to length. So have to redo when the new pipe ai justvordered arrives. Probably do it with a defoliation in a couple of weeks. PITA. 21 cables, probably over 100 cable ties. The fact they could stop traffic in the dark their eyes were so red had nothing to do with it obvs. The Mars Thermostat controller screen won’t power on - the floor level fan runs full blast without it so hoping the sparky remembers to come tomorrow. We going to fill it but keep them 18/6 for a week. Tomorrow is the day.

I love those runoff trays and I've been trying to source them in the EU. Looks good bud!
 
Roots from a solo cup after 10 days in a one gallon. Up pot to 5G

@Bill284 method for all the repots. Realistically this is just the addition of bokashi and frass, coco, perlite, layers and @DYNOMYCO were already in use. White airpots? Natch.

Layer it up Amigo. :thumb:
Did you sprinkle the root ball?

Your sparky will hook you up.
He was on his way anyway. We have one back up. Other two imminent. Glad ai went for the 28w 3000k spot lights in the ceiling 😅

We did - with the Dynomyco just the foot print of the previous pot. @Keffka tip. The plants had all been myco’d previously and the coco has added plus they looked established with it already. So just an asian soup spoon worth for each plant.

The stock is not great. There’s stuff too small by a long way. & Co has been serially under watering them. Means maybe two weeks in veg. Not been a great day really. As soon as lights are done its gas ASAP.

So far the environment is spot on. Set dehumidifier to 65% and get it. Same with temp. Just some tweaks for irrigation and its as good as it gets for this sized room with our local weather. The Netafim irrigation stuff we use has all halved in price since earlier this year. Literally half price. So bought new collars to come with the pipe. Some plants barely watered when the others are all done. Wrong pipe lengths but also some builder damaged collars. They’re $2 a pop so bought a full set.

Some photos in a bit. Sparky is doing the safety breakers first - just finished the lights. Got to cover a bunch of control lights as well. They’re kinda bright!

I'm coming to Thailand one day for a visit, just so I can go shopping with you Nick Hardy! It must be a jol! Thailand for a kuier, some fishing, some shopping and an exotic weed experience... definitely a bucket list item!

Sheesh with roots like that you don’t even need myco 😂 You say that’s 10 days in a one gallon? How long were they in solos?
 
Depends which strain they were - say 6-8 weeks? EDIT - they were briefly in solos in the solo tent from 17th July. Then 2 weeks later on 30th July they went in 1Gs. So actually 3 weeks which is not actually impressive but nice to have!
