Your going to have huge flowers with those healthy roots laid down.
I'm hoping. I'm liking this setup more and more every day. The little speed bump had me questioning things, but whatever. It's simple, clean and it looks cool. Plus I can easily scale up if I get a bigger space. Once I harvest I just have to snap out the tubes and then put the next run's trays in. It's a very modular setup.

I built my Growtek pumps yesterday. Now I need to attach them to a board and figure out how I'm going to hang it. Then calibrate it and be done with this manual labor once and for all.

Here's a little video showing the progress:

I haven't updated this is a while. My plants are super overgrown and I'm waiting for more hose because I bought nowhere near enough. Hopefully it will be here tomorrow, and then I'm going to beat the plants into submission and flip them. They look nice. I wish I had more height.

I cleaned the hell out of my veg room and laid down panda film. I bought a 2x4x6 wire rack and a bunch of 40w T8s for my bonsias and clones. I'm about to set off a Dr Doom bomb when that comes this week and kill off anything lurking. My plants in the flowering tents don't appear to have any thrips, but I'll probably bomb them too just to be safe. They seemed to keep coming back in the veg room, but it was also trashed and never quite cleaned all the way out or setup right. There were random mirrors stacked behind some boarding and whatnot. It actually feel sanitary in there. It was a section of porch, so it's always kind of had that vibe.

I also made a little diy humidifier with a tot, a waterproof fan and a nice mist maker. I'm waiting for an Inkbird controller, but I'm using an intermittent controller from now and have a pretty nice balance going on. It's not quite warm enough, but when I turned my exhaust down too low the humidity spiked to 86%. So I'm not touching it again.

The roots are looking really nice.

I've put in a ton of effort to improve my grow. I love my setup. No more playing around.

Well shoot. How do you feel?
I feel alright now. My muscles and back are a bit sore and I have a small headache. I was pretty bad off yesterday and the night before. Sweating like crazy and my whole body hurt.

I'm just hoping my son or parents doesn't get it. I was in contact for all of them before it hit me.

It was actually really simple. You just swap your nose and stick it in a little tube with solution, then drop the solution into the tester. The manual could probably be simplified.
So easy even a cave man could do it 😂 Mine was + too body aches and back kicking my arse.... My comp plants are begging to be chopped this virus has really slowed this old fart down

Yours sound exactly like my symptoms. I keep swinging from feeling decent to feeling crappy.

I feel you. I'm right in the middle of setting up all of this stuff and needing to prune and flip my plants. I setup an Inkbird humidity controller and that was almost too much.

My Growtek hose is supposed to be here tomorrow. If I had bought enough I would have already flipped them and not needed to hand water. I expected a delay, but I didn't see covid grabbing me during my final push.
