Rodger that, sir. I’ll need to cut and rig up 4” port…
Got my thinking gears in motion again

Back back again - and this time, i think it’s gonna be a little cooler than usual 
The increments have accumulated, assembled, and become quite a bit more than the sum of their spare parts…
~Not Fridge 4.0~ is finally a reality.
Fridgeback, shored up, sealed up, taped to the Gods, and now with MERV 8 filtration!
- No more 2” to 4” bottleneck!
- No more weird power cord limitations on the internal circulation fan - new reusable cord bunghole (ha!) using a neoprene cloner puck, right where it makes sense!
- No wire hangers, Ever!
Before:
During:
Almost there:
After:
New fan and external filter - rocking the casbah. Much more effective at keeping the temps at bay than previous fan (no shade on SGL blower, which is great for its intended, much tinier use case)
New 
lighting schedule plan: 18/6, on at 6pm, off at noon.
This + the coming change of season should keep it pretty cool in there, and allow me to do some training work on them both in the morning and the evening. When i flip to 12/12 ill probably go something like 9pm to 9am so i can keep that kind of work schedule going, and keep out of the warmer parts of the day. If i like it, thats how ill go for warmer seasons too… i hope this works out for real, it really seems like a good idea (but dont they all!)
thinking this might be the Not Fridge’s “final” form (until the next “bright idea” , that is 
)
Onward to the beans-in-residence (all photos):
- 3x Paonia Purple Paralyzer (reg)
- 1x Betty White OG (fem)
Ppp start:
Then moved to their solos:
BWOG still underground. She might be a dud, we’ll see though…
May the Paonia Purple Paralyzer Goddess lend her many graces to our humble endeavor. 
Cheers buds

Time is something, man.
19 days later, here we are. Meant to transplant these PPPs into their octos this past weekend, but time kinda just… does what it wants, you know?
Soon, babies
2 out of 2 Betty White OG beans just got gross and died before even breaking the surface in the root riots, maybe thats not the move for those. (teeny tiny seeds) thinking maybe too roomy to get a grip? So i paused (not gave up, just, seeya latered up) on BWOG for now, and popped a LSGTK fem to fill my minimum grow requirement of at least one predestined Ladykin 
. She is only one inch tall yet but i love her already 
Good luck Leia 
@THCeed - Interesting fact, when you put “Lenin* Skywalker Ghost Triangle Kush” as an AI prompt, some cool stuff comes out
(*because i misspelled i think 
lol)

Evenin’ folks
Minor update,
Got to play with some dirt today
transplants are done 
Took this pic before PPP1 had a place to fit their new shoes 
But - Sir Lefty, Loyal Box of Not-Center has been recommissioned.
And will do fine for at least now.
Should any bow out prematurely, whether due to heathlessness, ennui, or masculinity - might do some switcheroos.
Should All 3 regs turn out to be Female, i’ll probably Try to ride all 4 of em out.
Might even do another “side project” octopup in the freezer if i can work it out - that might be fun with a non auto 
(had a promising start with that idea on a Scarlet Grapes a short while back -as shown here, at the height of her side-promise, moments before total encrispination)
Plan is to top each of the 3 PPPs, get the stems in water, put em in the freezer and flip 12/12 to see which witch is which - 
- at least i hope it works that way… we’ll find out though!
Before all that though - i’ll clean each of em up so they are little more presentable than the state my recent negligence has heretofore, slackeny, hurled them toward.
Hope you are all doin it to it (in the proverbial sense acourse 
)
And that good green vibes abound

Really enjoying this grow journal, the great fridge setup and your perseverance and positive attitude 
I haven’t signed up for a grow forum in about a decade but this grow convinced me to make an account, keep it up!

Thank you @Gnz, and Welcome! Both to the Not-Fridge and to Overgrow
It is my honor to learn my humble journal could act as your beacon to the bountiful land of OG!
I joined a looong time before i had the courage to believe i had anything worth contributing to the community. When i finally opened myself up, I was quickly met with kindness, warmth, support and advice from many talented, imaginative growers. Given my long lurking experience here, watching how OG keeps it 
OG, i shouldn’t have been surprised, but i still was. I Still am.
You are gonna love it here, bud - dont be a stranger, and please tag me when you start a journal, id love to follow your cabinet build/grow

In the hatin’ the waitin’ phase of the octolife
But we been here before, it is always this awful lol. And it’s just because we care 
. Beats the alternative!
Hoping they move soon though so i can top them and get the training started and (to butcherphrase a poem) rush through everything so i can do something else. 
Low and slow baby 
PPP2+3, and tiny Leia, Fridgeward-
Lookin a little beat the F up around the gills (they’re tough though)
PPP1, Box 2
Bit of a late start, stunted a little (i think) by my attempt at a delicate buckethead surgery as a tyke, but still looking like a plant with some plans for the future 
Been trying to reinvent the wheel on mixing nutes. Whenever i do it i can never get an efficient flow down, and it often ends up as a huge mess that takes way too long to do. Hoping my fever dream pays off-
Brita filtered 4 gallons and spun up a high concentration of Megacrop 1part, plan (when i have time to both make, and clean, the inevitable mess) is:
- to dose the full bucket until ppm is at (say) 300, fill jug 1.
- Dose the now lower volume until it is 350, fill jug 2.
- Repeat until jug 3 has 400 and jug 4 has 450
- Then ph
Doing this per jug my usual way would take me like 3 hours, because my process really sucks that bad. If i can get it down to 90 minutes id feel like a bonafide genius 
Meantime- I Foop sprayed all three after these photos were taken, to hold them over a bit before the roots hit paywater (they already Got dirt!). I’ll start thinking greener thoughts just in case that does anything 
🫛 
Thanks all, see ya round the stratosphere

Looking good @Not-Notjosh 
How’s the new airflow setup treating you? Seeing any difference in Temp/RH?
2 Likes
Hey bud! ive been keeping an eye on temps, and it hasnt gone over max 86F yet. I have it set to ramp up around that limit, which it is handily handling 
- rh% yet to be determined, but im sure it will follow suit. Then its on me to keep the room happy
But all in all im getting ready for a good run with a better environment
We’ll see How good though - i can always jack other things up lol 
Edit- will admit im in love with the intake filter, also working amazingly. Cuts a lot of dust accrual, and will keep that shizzle off my bizzles
