My 'wall' is a simple sheet of 1/2 MDF plywood. I can add a window any size and shape I want. I think I'll add a window just a bit narrower than the width of aluminum foil.
Flower area hardware
My son the engineer was home over the weekend [... ...] and while watching football, our yacking wandered around to something that has been bugging me about this idea. I explained what you were thinking and even quoted some of the math you provided.
Without doing any math, he suspected from the couch, that the “window” would have to be huge to affect a significant transfer of heat from the flower space to the veg space at such a low temperature differential between the two spaces.
Max is way the hell smarter than me, but I was intuitively thinking much the same thing before I brought up the subject.
Frankly, since you’re the guru, and if it wouldn’t require too much physical effort, I’d love to see you set up an experiment that would test this idea. It would, however, require a significant effort to document the testing of the idea. You seem like a person who actively fills his life with meaningful work. Perhaps it might be something you might find to be fun!
Improvements are looking great. I'm watching your new digs evolve with great interest!
Now I'm seeing it more clearly, and I'm a bit confused. Is that an air intake, or an air exhaust attached to the flower light?
AK47 went into the flower area last night
During setup, the recently installed GFCI outlet had tripped a couple of times. This morning, the light was not on and the GFCI had tripped again. The wiring is new, and the load is 6+ amps on a 20 amp breaker, so I will replace the outlet. It was a previously used GFCI outlet.
Looking good Rado. If you can find them local - Hospital Grade GFCI ~$25, FTW.
I didn't make it to hardware store today, it was painting day for the exercise room.
I replaced the GFCI with a 15 amp regular outlet I had on hand. That should be good enough for one 600W HPS and ballast until I can buy the proper unit.
I've never seen hospital grade on a GFCI. Do I need to go online for that?
AK47 in the flower room
The lower leaves and buds were defoliated
I took one clone from a leading branch (the small one) and a second clone from a lower branch. I have a pet theory that tops make better clones, so if that one roots, I'll plant it. The lower branch clone is a backup.
I'm not sure why the veg room temp went up - maybe because I dialed down the humidity. I'm dialing the humidifier back up a tad.
I'm very pleased with the flower room low temp. The temp did not get too low, even with the light off for 15 hours.
hi here looking too
NOOB to Hi-Brix questions
I have a plant in flower, now what?
During Veg I was bottom soaking with: Growth Energy(GE) - 1/4 transplant water(XW) - water(W) - GE - XW - W - GE - XW - W ...
In Flower, with different soil, I have bottom watered pure water. I expect to be top watering some nutrients without letting pots dry out or the nutrients run out the bottom. Which of Doc Bud's nutrients will I be using, and how often?
During Veg I did a weekly Brix foliar. Do I keep doing a weekly Brix foliar?
With other soil I have top dressed with worm castings (1 qt per 7-10 gal) as I go into Flower. I plan to add worm castings in about a week. Sound right?

Basic NOOB question: Now what?
I'll take a stab at it Rad. Your gonna use the same nutes including Brix once a week. Water/feed more often, every 4-5 days. Here is advice I got from Duggan re feed water schedule. "....Here is a very typical water /feed schedule for using the "kit" properly in veg. and bloom! GE Drench W/Tea.......Water with1/4 Trans (could be straight water too)....Water with 1/4 Trans (could be straight water too)......Transplant Drench with Tea......Water with 1/4 Trans (could be straight water too)......Water with 1/4 Trans(could be straight water too).....GE Drench with Tea......Repeat....Repeat! Remember people , the last thing we want is a build up of salts in our soil , so if you are giving all that Transplant every single time you water ,...imagine by the third run of this soil ...just how much you will have added....too much...get it!"
Basically alternate GE and trans drench with 2 straight RO waters in between. You want to time it so the last drench you give is GE just before the chop, not trans.
You can still bottom feed then add a little to the top but mine are in #10's so I can't do that, I top water and so does Duggan.
I think top dressing with EWC and recharges is supposed to be done at week two of bloom.

If you're not mixing your Tea separately, start doing that. It's much happier if it can steep by itself for a few minutes.
Graytail said:The topdressing should happen soon after the upcan and, in my opinion, before or soon after bloom. Add the amendment and Recharge together - it's simpler, and the EWC helps cover the amendment and keep it moist.
Graytail said:Remember that Brix is a booster, so use more when they look great and less when they don't. DeStress and Trans work together to feed the soil, while GE and Cat are more for the plant's sake.
Part of me is still looking for what to schedule. I plan on keeping the soil moist. I think you are sayng to do a GE+Tea and a Trans + Tea drench about once every 10 days, alternating. I'm also preparing to do the cat drenches at bud set time. Any thing else I should do in the first month of flower?
