        It is107-112 every where around us so we are socked inccwith fog and drip and humidity...luckily not in the heat wave that surrounds us. No predictable weather this location...at. All...ever.

        90s here in the day at night it gets down to 59f. Been bipolar weather here for a few years.

      Been raining here for a week now with huge amounts of water soaking everything,my outside grow ( thank god im I veg ) has grown a foot and a half since the rain began,
      Trees uprooting,flooding,high winds the whole enchilada up and down the eastern seaboard and it’s not over yet!!! Inland it’s even worse.
      Hopeing things are going your way OJH, I have a question for u about your new grow room? And humidity. Was a vapor barrier put on the floor and walls to prevent moisture from getting in? And was waterproof sheet rock used in construction? All the best for u and yours lol

        Excellent point about the wonderboard. Thats what I will be using if I build another room.

        The Blue Board they make now a day's isn't bad for damp areas either, though Wonder Board or any type of cement board is better, since cement does not swell apart when it absorbs water.
        It's also good to use a paint with a higher Sheen in damp areas. For instance, a bathroom should be at least semi gloss, since the higher sheen paints hold up better to moisture, for some reason.

        good point I used green board (its the new blue ) and i pored a concrete floor , the next thing I try is to move the dh out of room and dehumidify the side of cellar room is on,then leave ac in room whats frustrating is often my cellar is lower rh than the room WTF I'm pretty sure that once I get the drain system to work the rh will go down but that will not be this grow so for this grow I have to get them though as is

      heres a couple of pictures. I did what Tika did and took a picture when the lights turned off ,the second is of week old autos , I drowned the other 7 dam dam dam definitely back to root riots for the challenge the third is the feed/drain system following Campesinos instructions ,I finished gluing the filters to the bottom of the pans so today I can set up the hoses and such, I miss my outside grow why go out when its raining everyday .I am thinking of just walking out to check them then move a bow stand in one area ,last time I checked the girls I got soaked walking to them lol

        Don’t worry about the outside grow,if it’s anything like mine it’s going crazy with all this rain lol

          I managed to get the dh out of bloom room with out killing to many plants .iwas working on the drain system and feeding system got all the drain lines glued to the treys and all the bottom trays done ,then I did my feeding loops that I need to redo so I can use a softer tube ,I used pex and it just would bend right at a short length, in the 2nd and 3rd pictures are the loops the 3rd one is soft hose and has the rainbird emitters I wanted to use the 2nd is of the pex ,I drilled holes in it so I could put the emitters in it no go there to hard so I made the soft hoe one now I need to test them to see what has better flow

          I did my veggie garden different this year I put down cardboard then put mulch hay over that my wife and alot of others said I was going to get seeds in the hay and I should of used straw, well on the lower garden I did use straw had one bail left of each the 4th picture is of the straw and the 5th of the hay now tell me which one is going to give me weeds . the last picture is of some herkamere diamonds that I mined they were what the Europeans thought were american diamonds. I mined them in Herkamere NY and that is where I met my wife so they have a very special place in my heart besides the fact that its worth 100 to 150 depending where you are . we have a ton of the stone around the house I figure in about 300 years they will be digging around my house and think they found diamonds lol
          one of my chickens is trying to crow like a rooster what a sick sound that is lol

            Way cool Ojh!
            That has been my experience to with the straw, mine is wheat straw, and just a lot of seeds left in it, the hay has been fine. I'll bet with that cardboard under it, you can just flip the straw over with a pitch fork every so often, and make those weeds work for you, feed em to the earth worms.
            I have a bunch of thistles and stubborn grass variety's with runners, that got pulled, I have them layed out on a section of new garden that I am making, doin a FINE job of mulching for me! Fight weeds, with weeds

            Way cool on the Fertigation loops that is, not the weed problem.

            Sounds like you have a Hermie in the hen house!

          good idea greenhouse effect I usually just pull and drop but sticking them under would be way better,

          I had to redo the feed loops with the clear soft hose

          today I have to redo all the drain set ups the gorilla glue wont come off my fingers but it came off the plastic trays I have so I'm going to get some soft copper tubing and flare it out so it wont go thru hole and then attach hose with a clamp this way if I have to move them they wont fall apart lol

            oh I forgot I will be planting the clones of the tuts think I got 8 to 10 out of 12 so not bad

          Ok so Being my own worst enemy again...I created a monster. By routing the drain of my dehumidifier into my covered sump hole, I created a place sewer flies live. They look like fruit flies to me. Good thing I'm near the end of flowering. One left with a week or two to go. Now I got to empty the tray two, tree times a day. oye! Just thought I'd give you a head sup OJH, I gave you bad advice on this depending how your sump's set up I guess. Hope not!

            all good My sump hole drains right into dirt lol.

          well I was able to get the drain system set up mostly and then started on feed I have to go get more t fittings and hose clamps to finish then its time to test it , I modified the drain I did not glue the strainers to the bottom of the trays it just didn't stick to plastic, so I found these brass fittings that worked ok I only got 5 so I had to make some I used a flange tool in first picture , I did find that if I pre bent tubing right after the flange then it kept the drain lines open better

              I have I don't grow alot of autos for that very reason, I am doing some alien vs toofless right now and a blueberry the rest are photos

            well room got down to 50%RH so were getting there ,I'm thinking of putting the 30 pint dh back in room and leave the 50 pint outside of the room sealed off from the rest of the cellar .

            From the way the girls are stacking up buds I was half way there ,boy you can really tell where the hps light stops and leds kick in buds get so much lighter .

            so I needed t fittings and hose clamps to finish the feed lines , stopped at local hydro store and they had 1/2 inch ts for .50 cents each I picked up 10 of them then went to Lowes and checked theres the ts were like 6 bucks for 5 so I didn't get any well guess what the ts I did get only fit the soft plastic tubing F F F lol I can use them just have to screw around mating up the sizes all I need now is sunshine for a few hours .

              It's lookin good Ojh!
              I do lot's of building projects, and man, the one thing that always drives me nuts is plumbing! Just about anything else, and I'm pretty happy, but start plumbing, and that's when my tears start!

            well I tested the feeding lines and it blew though 5 gallons of water in like 5 minutes I have to figure a way to equal the flow out to all the sites,but I have time ,

            The buds are starting to stack up and fill out , the second picture is a hybiscus plant that just started to bloom but my grow room is right behind it ,the vent for ac eshaust is visible lol

            the last picture is of a sleeping bee ,my wife cut the flower off before she saw it but it stayed there for about a half hour ,when she was at farmers market she started to thunk it was dead so she tried gently mind you to get it off and it woke up and flew off .What a bummer wake up from and wonderful nap and not know where you are ( i did that once in the corps woke up in wrong barracks but even worse it was the wrong base lol). anyways I've never seen a sleeping bee so here you go

            these are the three Autos I managed not to kill I started a manifold on the blueberry and stuck the top in wet dirt to see if it takes . the last pic is of the clones from the tuts when they get established I'll pick a winner for a mother plant for future clones

              well heres one for the books I moved the dh out of bloom room and plugged it in to DH the work area outside of bloom room so the intake air is dehumidified ,it didn't work wasn't getting any water out of it WTF , I changed setting nothing worked so I returned it and got a new one same thing Didn't change the rh at all while the little 30 pint I had worked great pulled out a bucket during day (The drain hose wont work on it) .So now I'm pissed right I'm sitting there looking at dh said f it and smoked ,while smoking I followed the power cord back to receptical and poof the light bulb went off ,everyday when I left the back cellar I turned the lights out and guess what was plugged into them thats right the DH . So Id turn the lights on walk in and everything would be running just wasn't doing anything then I would reset it get it running again then promptly leave and turn it off again Good thing I dont get mad at self when I do stupid shit like this lol

                Occam's razor has always been the KISS of death, no matter how old or smart you are they will always find a way to put you in your place.

                For those who don't have google;
                Occam's razor is the problem-solving principle that the simplest solution tends to be the right one.

                KISS: is an acronym for "Keep it simple, stupid"

                you won this round... let's see whats next.

              so I noticed some of the girls were fishtailing on me and low and behold the two lights on the pineapple chunk were on for 18 hours instead of 12 well they are unplugged now fuck the pineapple chunk lesson learned ,now I put the lights on a 10/14 schedule so they stop and return to bloom ,at this point I have to finish them, it looks like the plants on that end of the scrog did the fishtailing and everything else has not started yet so maybe I caught it in time ,Bet I get seeds now though

              I did transplant the Autos to 10 gallon pots with 7 gallons of dirt ,I used coast of maine platnum series and roots organic green fields, I installed air injectors as well ,when I'm ready to veg the challenge seeds I will have to move them under leds , I left the Tutankhamen clones where they are so they take more time to grow, I have at least 12 weeks before I can run them so there is time to grow take clones and get those ready for bloom .I WILL HAVE A SUCCESSFUL GROW WITH TUTANKHAMENs LOL
