Day 57 plants are still stretching up 3 weeks since 12/12. Plants are 2.5x their size at start of 12/12.
Day 59 impeller inside the hydrofarm pump exploded. Fucking pump lasted 2 months, thankfully I had a spare impeller laying around. Going to be emailing hydrofarm. My plants went with out water for upto 24 hours. Pots fabric was dry but I think the perlite retained enough moisture. Roots have grown out of the bottom of my fabric pots and running down the channels almost nft like.
These bitches are still stretching like someone is throwing out free shit to a crowd. She is now the tallest of the 3.
Res change new readings ph 6.1 ec 2.24
Day 61 ph 6.4 ec 2.13 temp 74F. Added 8 ml ph down to 6.1. Hydrofarm responded the the customer service request with in 24hrs and sending a replacement impeller at no cost, excellent customer service. Having a heatwave temps in the mid 90s outside. I have a portable ac unit in the garage but I am able to keep it at 80F in the tent lights on, not ideal but it could be a lot worse. I can't believe these girls are still stretching up. Looks like I'll be rebuilding my platform sooner than I would like. Shes 12" from the qb288 and I'm closely monitoring for light stress. I can dim while i rebuild the platform if needed.
Day 62 ph 6.3 ec 2.33 added 6 gal to res new ph 6.0 ec 2.30. Raised light up to near ceiling over her. Still stretching
@Ga4rd2en0er, Dido man. Huge fan of older SNL cast's (David Spade...meh). I didn't think I was getting old, but I guess this is a sign that I am, haha. My pop culture references stop at around 2009-2010. No one knows the hell I'm talking about anymore.
And ya! Where the hell did Myers go... You're probably correct and he's just dozing on a pile of Shrek royalties, hahaha. Hopefully he comes back in some capacity.
@JinksyGrows, thanks!! I love it when people get my references. Now a days whenever I quote a movie and get no response, I have to remind myself that I am now in the old category and this generation knows nothing of comedic genius Chris Farley and well mike Myers really hasnt done much since he got shrek money. Late 80s to mid 90s snl fan here.
What model roleadro do you have? I have a few of the 1000w. Just lost my first diode on one after 14 months and they sent me a new light with no issues. Really happy with them!
@Ga4rd2en0er, yeah obviously much better lights out there but they were great starter lights for me on a budget and a nice supplement to the QBs I use now.
@Wicked_Stix, I think it's their claimed 300w model but pulls 110 from the wall. It's rather old and bought it 3 years ago but doesnt have as many miles as my viparspectra from the same time frame which I think I'll be retiring. I need a new veg light soon
