Now I’m confused, I thought you were saying hi to the babies in the humidity dome.
I don’t think the 12/12 from flowering would do them much favors if they were cannabis either hahah.
I love the setup, I like how the grow lights just shoved up and out of the way haha. Still use it for exhaust/intake for printing or no?
Ohhh hahah no, all Cannabis plants are babies to me 😂
Awww, well those are some adorable babies too! Yeah 12/12 is probably not the best for them but I doubt it'll be an issue. You can always bury the stem of a leggy seedling, as long as they're strong enough and you make sure you don't let them rot.
Thanks! I didn't want to get rid of the setup. I don't smoke much anymore, or at least I try not to but I love growing so much. Feels like Xmas every morning checking up on them, plus I just love the smell.
I never got the time to get into hydro. I bought everything I needed to make a setup, still got the pump laying around somewhere brand new in box. One day maybe? 💀
Edit: Nah, I turned off the intake and exhaust, although I have thought about building a new carbon filter and turning it back on if I ever want to print some stinky materials.
Ah fair, thrown off by the babies and girl reference.
Tomatoes should get enough DLI with this light during 12/12, but once theyre ready they are going in the other tent anyways.
Haha, this isn’t hydro, it’s a homemade aeroponics system. Takes it another step further, it atomizes the nutrient mix for optimal root uptake.
Fair, still a nice setup anyways, and I’ve seen plenty of printer setups inside of tents for temp consistency already haha
Ohhhh cool! Aeroponics is something I'm not really familiar with yet. Definitely interesting stuff though. I'm sure there will be a day I will fall into that rabbit hole hahah.
Hahah yeah that was the idea. It's basically just a big printer enclosure for now. I also like that I don't need much to light up the room enough for my camera feed to be usable 😂
I couldn’t quite automate my soil setup the way I wanted, so I took the plunge into the cheap version of aeroponics. The better one requires a $150 pump and a bladder tank as well, it atomizes the droplets to the optimal size that nasa found was the best method for growing (in space).
Hahah cheap is good in my book. I'm a junkie for jank.
That's really cool though, thank you NASA researchers. Hey at least you're not growing space weed, yet! Your plants seem really healthy so your cheap setup seems to be doing it's job well enough!
