Diary PCBuds mini-grow

[JustSumTomatoes]

I throw silica gel packets in my curing jars as a precaution (like those in shoe boxes.) Had one jar of bud I thought was dry and done curing. It got shoved to the back of the closet and I found it a month later caked in a mold colony. Rice in a sock works if you're on the cheap.

Healthy/happy looking roots by the way.

I think so...

I'll just keep flushing it out when it gets murky.


No molasses or bacteria.


A bit of tap water too for some chlorine.



I wonder if I might go too sterile and set myself up for an infestation of whatever ??

 

[JustSumTomatoes]

That murk is brown algae, are you using straight tap water or just adding a little?

 

[PCBuds]

After this, I went with bottled water and a bit of tap water to fill it up...

 

[JustSumTomatoes]

Try using pure tap water. The chloramine in it will help with keeping it down. People say it's bad for cannabis but in my experience that's not true.

 

[PCBuds]

I hear that...

I rinsed my roots in tap water...

I've got some desiccant that looks like clay pellets. I microwaved some to dry it up then put it in a shop towel and put it in my jar.

I use that first when it's quite damp then switch to the Boveda packs. I don't want to saturate/wear out my Boveda packs.

I just swapped in the Boveda now.

That picture was from earlier when I had molasses in the water.
It went funky and slimy.

I think I'll switch to tap water instead of bottled to get the chlorine.

It's still easy to do. Dump the reservoir, clean it, fill with tap water, add 1/8 tsp of nutes and stir.

My new batch of bacteria is almost done.

should leave these jars, semi open in your grow area.

free source of co2.

i do the same thing with my LAB isolation and my egg:vinager soak to make foliar spray both off gas Co2

 

[PCBuds]

I've got this in my grow closet for CO2...








A couple spares as well...








I'm drunk right now !!

It's a really symbiotic relationship. Lol

I just have to drink as much wine as my plant needs CO2. Lol

 

[PCBuds]

It's going down to -4°C tonight with frost.

It's a good thing she's got a greenhouse. Lol

It doesn't get too hot in the car does it? I see you blocked off the other windows.

It doesn't get too hot in the car, does it? I see you blocked off the other windows.

It does in the summer.
It gets hot as hell.


I'm just trying to keep the frost off and not freeze the reservoir at this point.


This was my backyard two days ago...

 

[PCBuds]

We're supposed to May flowers, not Snow and frost !!
