Looking stellar SH. Good karma bro. Keep it sticky
I do support them with those coated wire thingys. Walmart USA sells them I think.
I probably would not have to support them if I would not have such a crazy breeze going on in there...
I'll take a pic when I get back my normal camera, left it on a friends boat who now is out fishing.
Installed the Co2 generator today I finally got barged in.
What a breeze to do!
This thing is water cooled and removes 98% (yes you read that one correct!) of the heat produced the way I have it set up!
Hard to believe but it works as advertised and is not even expensive.
For those of you planning on doing the same thing...I HIGHLY RECOMMEND reading this first:
The how to and why fors of CO2 supplementation for growers
OK this is the thing ready to go. Sorry about the lame picture, had to take it with my underwater camera, my other one I left on a friends boat who went on a fishing trip...
HERE is what I got. (check out the vids they got on there!)
I also got the Ice Cap Heat Scrubber & Electronic Valve since I am cooling with well water to waste.
As for the controller I went with the brand I already have, SENTINEL CPPM-4 Co2 PPM Environmental Controller
See below.
The WHOLE set up I got was less than $1,000.
Ebay got some killer prices!

Another water cooled Co2 generator?
Those plastic pots are easy to fill and empty, that's all.
Plants grow the same as in the smart pots I have as well.
I checked on them Air Pots....if I were to order 100 of them...it would cost about $1,800 JUST FOR THE POTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The whole thing ready to go (Generator, Valve, Cooler, Controller) were $960 total.
Plus of course a few feet of hoses.
Man trust me I am thinking of your Morocco pictures every day.
And I mean not only the weed field pics! One day you might just get a PM from me...lol
yes I was thinking to use it for 4 different rooms.
yup when it comes to volume -air pots do become pricey! i spent over 230 euro (300usd?) for them and still am going to buy maybe for another 400 euro or so. I know it's insane dough to pay for just pots. Those things got me sold so well lol
I am a persone who will never pay for marketing or brands. As a matter of fact I always try to get a clear picture on any product I purchase.
My experience leads me to believe that there is TOOO MUCH of false marketing and fake hypes out there. Especially in nutrients and seeds section those factors are very present.
When I saw the Air pots add - I ofcourse understood it, yet was very sceptical about them at first just as I am sceptical about most commercial products out there.
So why am I spending this crazy dough on just pots? Cuz I am sold on the quality
Well I am plannin on moving to sogs entirely once I ditch my screen. that's where I will need those Many pots, which I love so much and suggest almost to anyone interested in the pot market.
Can you send me or post a link to the Generator you are going to get?
I cannot agree more about the hyped up products.
The sad thing is so many especially noobs fall for them. Especially one particular company my username here sometimes gets brought in connection with
....terrible!I am going to get a few of those air pots and see how they work. If they are better than what I have used in the past I will order a full set.
Well I gotta bail out for now.
I got a 1/2 day fishing charter in an hour which I have been trying to cancel/postpone due to some harsh weather coming up.
Harsh weather around this latitude @ this time of the year translates in to high seas.
Nothing my boat cannot handle, however I am speaking of two couples and 3 kids and I just could not convince the guy who booked the trip to do it later on instead.
This is going to be interesting for some of them.....

lately I have been eyeballing this one
http://cgi.ebay.com/HYDROGEN-WATER-...s=63&clkid=1055332575816304664#ht_3245wt_1139
but after a good thought and a slight research I decided to get the one like yours, since its only alittle more expensive, but sure is better.

Haha I know what you mean
yup their false marketing is shocking! Genetics are somewhat nice sometimes tho. Not always Awesome let us know how it works for you compared to what you're using! Im eagered to know!

Im going on a boat tomorrow though
we are going to hit local islands and plant a little guerilla The weather is promising sunny too
Good luck to you on your trip!
Most inspiring!
peace!
By the way! a couple of questions about the strain that I have been keeping to ask you for some time!
Have you bought original sensi seeds NL pack? was it the fem pack?
How stable were the genetics of NL? I am considering to check out NL, cause it's one of the best strains known to people.
Out of how many seeds did you find your huge yielding keeper? How many phenos have you spotted?
Thanks in advance!

Back from fishing, they decided to make it a full day trip after we had to return to drop off the kids and one of the wifes.
The sea did not turn as bad as it could have gotten, maybe 15 to 18 foot rollers.
The guys had fun but one of the two women got very sick. She literally had turned green in her face.
I have to get someone to clean the bathroom. She needs to learn how to aim.....

Haha crazy ! Are you doing tourist boat-yacht rides? Or are those just your friends?
Edit: oh sorry I see he has booked it up, so a tourist.
You have to be one occupied fella to keep up you grow ops with the job
Yes two packs of regular seeds getting 17 females. I always get a high (well over 50%) female ratio. I think it has to do with the high temperature I germinate seeds in.
It always very much horrifies me reading how some germinate their seeds especially when they put them in paper towels.
Seeds do NOT like to be fumbled around with once sprouted.
Yes one can be very careful....but one CANNOT avoid stressing the germinated seed by for example damaging the hair roots which you can't even see yet with the naked eye @ a young stage.
How I do it?
Soak them for 24 to 36 hours in RO or distilled water and then pop 'em right in to ProMix HP.
That's it.
No later transplanting, nothing.
Nature does not use paper towels, neither. Nor does nature transplant.
@ home use adequate size pots, then you won't have to transplant, neither.
The stability of the genetics were OK. Maybe not exactly great but OK.
I have to deal with quiet a few power outages here (see the "Mystery Grow" link in my sig) and every time the power goes out things stay dark for @ least 10 mins 'til the bulbs cooled off, if the power does not come back on the back-up generator takes over. Again see the "Mystery Grow" link for details.
So the slight instability could very likely be a result from light stress and not the genetic itself. I am not having any hermies in this run.
The generator guy @ the main plant is not allowed to smoke NL anymore so that problem has been solved....the power has been on fairly stable for months now.
I think I am going to grow some more heady stuff so he stays more alert lol
All phenos yielded well, one in particular was veeeeeeeeeeery crystalline, I called it the "skunk pheno". See "Mystery Grow" link. I did not keep it though, it took up too much room since it was a wide spread plant....but it looked very awesome I have to say!
I kept 4 phenos (last grow) and now have one left (new set of cuttings I take the day I switch them to 12/12, I do not keep moms anymore) which for myself I claim has knock out quality. It knocks you out, very "amnesiatic"! lol
Ask the generator guy, he can testify! lol
The Lady just showed up to clean the boats bathroom, I gotta go but will be back later.
Let me know if you got another question.
