Grow Timeline (11 updates)
So the wife was passing by the tent on the way to the garage fridge to chill some wine, asked me what was going on with Little Miss Blackberry Moonrocks?
The temps in the garage are already creeping up in the day, and plunging at night. She looks at me and says, finish cleaning out the spare room and put them in there until the basement is ready!!!
Also, Add whatever other tent will fit in there with your desk and airbrush booth.
I have a limit, ATM, I have already pu$ed it 🤗
Whoever kidnapped my wife, updated her software, and put her back without us noticing .. I owe you one!
So I am moving more and more in as I go. Definitely going to consolidate the Warhammer and Weed rooms. I am going to have whole room extraction to smoke in here, makes sense to have the paint booth in the room with all the ports out the window! Besides, when I get frustrated with either, I have the other right there...
Thought I did a pretty good job making the exhaust port board with plenty of ports for this tiny room. It's removable, when I go into the basement, until the unused chimney gets reserved, this will get trimmed down and go in the basement window.
the heater has not had to kick in once, I have the A/C dialed in the hold the temps around 74°F at night it drops about 7 or 8°F. will have to keep an eye on how it plays out especially with the June installments to this room.
Solar is on track, so we will switch all future grows to a normal day schedule.
How is the AC infinity heater, I have the Spider Farmer heater and it has come very close to being kicked to the curb, it's not very reliable temp fluctuations on it will kill your plants if you don't have an inline exhaust fan to cool it off at just random times it will just keep going to up to 90 even if it's set to 72, then work just fine for a few days
I do not have the AC Infinity heater. I have the Vivosun Greenhouse/GrowTent one with the temperature control plug dongle thingy. I have the A10 controllers times like 10 in my cart waiting for a flag to drop to consolidate trol them with the grow hub. Vivosun is coming out with a stand alone heater, dehumidifier, and air con sometime this year that all connect to the grow hub AZ well. what i have works for now though, so...
BTWs the Vivosun heater set up they have held consistent temps as long as the tent stayed closed in a cold, wet New England winter out in a garage. so pretty sick piece of kit for $70
The wife was concerned with the cost of last winters grow. She also wanted a standby generator, as we have lived through way too many coastal New England power outages. Two birds with one stone, plus, Tesla.
Got the new Tesla PowerWall 3, Span panel, and the Tesla Controller. We are not "authorized" to export yet, but we are "isolated" from the grid currently. All that matters is we are no longer paying evil Eversource...
Pretty excited for this little tent. Be able to go on to the next grow right away with drying in this. I do believe I will be adding its own 4" exhaust pretty soon. Think that maybe 2 of these in a 4x4 with full environmental controls, minus the light, may be an idea for drying and a wire shelf for storing jars or c-vaults... 🤔
So apparently some whosamajigit that connect all my PV strings crapped out. We have one string barely bringing in enough power, forget charging the batteries. part kept goimg in amd out a few times. SunRun finally committed to replacing the part. It was on back order. It finally came in. No one's available to install until the 17th!!! 🤬😡🤯
we got solar at the end of July, since then we have been paying for Solar, and pretty much a full electric bill to the power company. We were told every 2 years SunRun evaluates their "90% production gaurantee" and in 2 years we can file for a reimbursement. What in the actual Frak is goimg on here. a month to get a part that you knew was failing for over a month, then they cant even free someone up to install it. All while billing us on Autopay.
Folks, solar is a great way to lessen the worry of medium to larger grows, but please for the love of ganja, check your contracts in extreme, forensic, detail. Ask the hard questions, and dont let up...
Keep Growing Fam!
Update on Solar. They say its not the part now, its our settings... They won't give us the proper settings, or send anyone out anymore. We have also recieved a cease and desist order for our posting about it. My wife has millions of google review views. Apparently its a big deal so they are trying to shut us up now...
Good luck with it all. Sucks there is no accountability from companies anymore
It really is terrible. Now we are hearing g that they are filing chapter 11...
Get their number. Mine needs some updating. 😅😂
I've consigned myself after further investigation that it must have been aliens, When the Solar installers get here, I will have them put a thank you sign up there!!!
ROFL
it starts with one tent. moves to two. then you'll have 3. and then you'll say f that and hang the light from the ceiling. ask me how I know ......lol
I am planning a possible aviary with a possible dwarf orange tee or something in the corner for a couple pairs of birds. 6x6 ish grass floor some millet planted along the back walls. a grow light for the ceiling maybe a couple AW400 so there is better air circulation. some flowers along the front cage wall... my wife is excited for that.
