Very nice!

If you put tape. I use duct tape, on plastics before drilling it help reduce risk or shatter.

I forgot how dangerous outdoor can be.

Heard something B-I-G was happening in the area, hurried over as soon as I could. Looking like a “Show of all Shows” is underway!! CONGRATS!!, continued success, do stay safe, take care, and be well…mister :honeybee: :100: :pray: :heart_eyes:

Another tip? run the drill in reverse (especially good for holesaw holes in reservoirs). Same goes for cutting with a circular saw, reverse the blade, its less aggressive and cracks plastic less…

If this is plastic, try using a cheap soldering iron. Gets me the cleanest holes ever!

I prefer step bits to paddle bits when it comes to plastic. :+1::seedling:

Another good piece of advice, I have several in here (one in front of me now actually).

Step Bit - best choice, but get expensive above 1"
Regular drill bit(in reverse) - second best, most common option. Dull is better and must run in reverse to avoid catching an edge.
Paddle bit - worst choice, 99% chance of snagging and cracking. Strictly for wood IMHO
Regular holesaw (in reverse for plastic) - larger holes (1 1/2" or 2" usually but can go up to 6")
Diamond holesaw for glass, but having a glass drilling press is preferred (drill press with suction cup bottom). Any tilt to the bit once you break thru will crack it

Reminding myself to relax on the Calcium.
Even though I am using good coco, these dual-root zone Octo-dealios probably don’t require as much Ca. Less feed exposed to the coco media compared to usual top feed fabric pot.

Hard to resist using Snoops secret sauces. 3 years I’ve resisted! (freebie from local hydro hut)

I whipped up a slightly altered version today with just the holes for the check valves and no hygrometer. Wanna put something in the middle, leaf is kinda obvious found some cartoon leafs I liked, but if I went that route its gotta be something original. Still playing with ideas or some lineart type thing.

Also printed a few more on the other printer that does do the color changes. Added the overgrow logo for fun, but wouldn’t sell em like that (unless OG wanted em for a fundraiser, its not my gig to make $$ off others work). But still wanted to share em here. Checkvalves arrive tomorrow, gotta dig an air pump outta the shed, steal the valve from the lettuce hydro system (got a better way to distribute water anyway), and I’ll be burping multiple jars automatically by tomorrow night.

Any idea how long to run the air pump? I guess longer is better than shorter, you kinda wanna exchange all the air, and a little longer would do that…

i think in that video he goes over his times he keeps air pumo to a timer you can prob do 15 min on 2hrs 45 min off until desired humidity. now is slower better or not ? you will be our guinea pig!! i honestly think this idea if not already being used with jars is going to catch on super super fast… and soon you will see people with 50 2 ounce jars curing their pheno hunts like this

Ms Torino won’t go for this setup in the house. lol

My garage ambient temp / rh can vary. Need to consider actual temp and RH of air pump input/output. And probably don’t want pump pulling in settled Co2 at floor level.

Found out there are videos on the Jacks “learn” web page - Not visible when I use my cell phone. Recent posts, not 6 yrs old!

Yet to watch all of them - this one is very informative
