The Red Cup!

I found some stuff growing on the soil of my solo cup. I took the dirt outside to get rid of it, did a quick root bath in tap water, gave some new soil, and sprayed with H2O2. Hopefully i dont see that shit again, if i do I'm bustin out the Serenade.

Miss Solo...

She is HUGE. I went away for the weekend, and was scared she would starve and die, I rigged up a drip feed system, basically punched a 1/4 air tube through the bottom of a 1/2 gal milk jug, caulked around the tube. and used the air flow adjuster knob to regulate the flow. When I got home, Solo was empty and on its side, but only barely wilted, so it worked well enough, will have to refine it before I go away again.

To cool the cup, I used a bit of the advice given to me in my journal from LaLG and made an ice bath, but I didn't want the solo cup to get too cold, and ice bath itself I think would be too cold. So, I put some weight in the bottom of a coffee bucket, and dropped that into a tub of water, Solo Goes into the coffee bucket and is surrounded by air that is cooler than the air temps of the tent, since the coffee can is immersed in ice water, well in theory anyways.

Hopefully that helps control the res temp...

Haha, it's all about the pleasure thang!
The black hose is a "kink-proof" line I had left over. What did you use for yours? I'm a bit worried that it's not 100% sealed
