Ok, recently decided to start growing again.
Old 1 of 2 cabinets… Going back a decade. Ended up giving them away after ex went paranoid. Was a good way to keep up with her chronic needs…
These days im still using to help with my destroyed knees. In my 30s they said 40s or catastrophic failure before they’ll do replacements. 40s now theyre saying 50s or catastrophic failure…
Use a bit of extract these days for migraines, way better than hydromorph. And a night or two a week a couchlocker to knock me out when my brain wont turn off.
Planning to build a 16x16x40ish inch cabinet. For the kitchen counter. Yes seriously - its legal why wouldnt I?
Planning on 2020 extrusion frame, alucobond (acm/acp) panels. Basically RDWC - I’d call it sumped DWC taking some volume out of the main bucket to keep feet cooler. Better place for sensors and equipment too.
Ive been going back and forth between brushed aluminum panels and black extrusion or bare aluminum extrusion and black panels.
Front door - I’m leaning to a 200x300 dclp glass window - likely with a heavy tint too. Visible with lights on and i want to watch, opaque otherwise. Solenoid locking for security.
Brought in a “300w” (50w) blurple LED fixture. 5m more of LED sidelights.
Plan is fully automated, ph, ec/tds, auto water topoff, temp (air & water(x2)) humidity. Id like to dose 3 part, but seriously thinking KISS 1part lately. And dose ph +/-.
Popping seeds right now. Peakseedsbc mix pack - have c99’s stashed for later. Got some legal seeds - and some from legally puchased AGLC sold - those are what im using prove that I’m not.
Because of 2 divorces… No more garage or garage full of tools. But i have 8 3d printers here - know that old saying when you only have a hammer - everything looks like a nail?
Netpots are insane local & amazon so i decided these were my preferred choice:
Seedlings, decided i didnt want rockwool. But still needed stability to hold the seedling - so im going to use these sized to 50% with polyfill inside.
Ive just built a little cloner out of a funky round aquarium i found. Printing holders and hole covers now, should have pics tomorrow. That should buy me time to get basic of the cabinet built.
Talking with a friend whos a programmer - both of us are on 2nd year of unemployment - about possibly looking at commercial development if thid works out so may hold back some bits and pieces. As a result I’d love input. Positive and negative.
