Nick Hardy's Skunk Works #1 10 Strains 18 Solo Cups 4x4 HPS/CMH: Thailand!

[NickHardy]

Yeah all cool. Super busy on other stuff.

So want to up pot to the SWICKS but just too busy. Could probably take the Hydro7 out of Hydro now but we’ll just do all together tomorrow. That neans the Pallet setup! Yay!

Lab reports in - they’ll go in Graduation Journal.

These yeah hit 16/17. One is dead.

We up pot to blah, pop more tomorrow.

Setup the tent Sunday with my crazy lights and friend.

Thinking 2x CMH and 1x HPS for Veg and then 1x CMH and 2x HPS in Flower.

Its cray cray. Gonns burna lot of electric

Guess needs a think about it.

Nice collection of solos and toothpicks!

The fact that the temps are the same year round by you makes it easy to gauge how much of the electric bill is the grow, and now you'll get to see the what the effect is of hot bulbs and increased AC.

Hint: it's going to be higher.

Up potted the 15/16 seedlings (17 was my mistake)

All look OK. One of the CBD’s in Hydro front right looks a bit sad. Interestingly it had a root about 4” long out the side into the water. I cut that off. Ph’d the water and see how she looks in the morning. They’re pretty close to going under lights in the tent anyway. We have sparky all day tomorrow. And builder's. Probably do it then now we have these 15 in SWICKs. Pop the last strains tomorrow. Not sure on the Strawberry Cheesecake AUTOS. Decide tomorrow. Have 4 other Fem Photo strains ready to go as well.

Coincidence? I think not.

 

[NickHardy]

Yep totally.

I pulled it off and literally threw it over my shoulder. Wish I’d taken a photo. It was all hard and very spikey - like rough on the skin.

You know what else is likely correlated?

It was the most shielded from the light and the root had grown under the aluminium foil which I have there more for algae type breakouts.

That can go. Also the lights I found were on medium so I maxed them.

Did anyone else get into ice machine plumbing and 3D printers during Covid Lockdowns? Our first lockdown was one of the very first and total brutality. Couldn’t go more than 2km either. 4 month old baby no shop that sold nappies in the zone. But cool too. Stopped the overseas commute and stayed home. If it was legal to grow then? Wow sea facing, E-S-W facing 100 sq/ft balcony with glass safety wall?

Wow almost makes me want to rent it again just to grow on!

But yeah, 3D printing.

I bought one in covid. Played around with it a bit. Have many colours of the plastic thread. Who knew?

I’m going to make a Cuda file of a Solo Sip. Like a whole all in one cup, airhole, grate, feed pipe and air holes.

Tske the always free from me file to someone with a suitably sized 3D printer and print a Solo SIP.

Watermark with 420magazine.com so prints it every time as part the design. Dunno.

Anyone got an opinion?

@Azimuth - I think I can make that file. 3D printers pretty common now. The place I print and frame photos at has one.

Pretty cool heh?I don’t want to make owt off it - just a cool way to share a design? Takenit down the street let them print ir and give it a go.

I’m pretty much set on the design we made above. Its would be that but all in one. But open to suggestions after I cut the current one open in a few days when I can actually see how it worked!

Nick (I only see rhe printer every rime I walk in the dry room - I am so slow sometimes)

Yes I have a 3d printer and make all sorts of stuff im not familiar with what a "solo SIP" is .
I have designed and use a bell syphon on my grow

That’s very cool! Its multi piece? I ordered some new filament on Friday. Hopefully here tomorrow. I have a ll sorts of little thingy’s I want to print - so far everything has been hand made but have Ender - can print!

Yes its designed to use a spice jar for viewing ,there are 4 parts to print ,S trap, barbed part that fits into base of bell syphon and a threaded nipple to connect S trap to barb after its installed.

 

[NickHardy]

Filament might only arrive tomorrow but can get designing today.

My vape has this stupid little plastic stand/bowl pokey cleaner that snapped

That’s first up!

I have a tevo little monster its a delta printer with a build area of 340mm diameter and a Z of 500mm its set up to print ABS fully enclosed.

That would be a SIP container built in a Solo cup.

Oh, that's cool. I have an old school one I made for my aquaponics setup made from a glass jar and a pvc pipe with a fitting.

I've since seen the solo sip cups and worked out what's happening, thanks for the feedback though I would upload a video of the bell syphon working but I can't figure out how to add a video it keeps telling me its not compatible
Edit ,worked it out with a little help

Video needs to be either an already uploaded YouTube or Vimeo video with a link (this can be a problem with YouTube as its algo recognises cannabis plants and age restricts it - which the site doesn’t like) or you can take a really brief video - not more than 10 seconds I reckon and turn it into an animated GIF. Not tried that but I will now using the simplest free tools I can!

Hack it - reckon you can use a 3D printer we gotta be able to make it work!

Nick

 

[NickHardy]

Ha ridiculously easy on iPhone.

Record short video (this is the propagator “machine”) - search for “Shortcuts” app preinstalled by Apple and hit “Create GIF”

I’m a (lapsed) ACTC never knew that!

But then 8 seconds (iPhone 12 Pro Max) was too big for the site so I Whatsapped it to The Real Nick Hardy which compresses it and downloaded it again and posted it.

Because its my day job. Sorta.

Standby for Windows to GIF.

Let's see if this works then .

 

[NickHardy]

Try editing it -after you press “Insert Image” press again to select “Full Image”

Should make it bigger.

If I go back in to edit it all I see is the link , if you tap on video there is an enlarge screen symbol on bottom right of video clip.

 

[NickHardy]

If you use the Photos - Upload photos option then the file size allowed is way bigger. (New winch control box for the lights in the flower room) soooo happy!

Anyway on the grow front, I saw this briefly earlier through the @Mars Hydro tent window and was busy doing absolutely nothing and trusting.

Smart choice. The ones in Blue Solos are clones under a 320W Samsung cheapo light. Carbon filter - bye bye! Tomorrow first solo grow plants in there for sure.

Lights and a better HVAC to come next 2-3 days.
