Hey, I’m Red. Well, not all the time but dip me in boiling water and I will be.
I feel a bit like a kindergartner starting over. Been doing the forum thing for a while, just not here. I had a buddy from another site invite me over, so here I am!
I’m a hydroponics grower who really likes to push plants. I like to do side by sides and figure stuff out. For example, I have a 4x8 in which I can control every single setpoint, and I mean every one. Spectrum, gasses, and of course all the normal ones too. I use it to teach myself and to kinda prove or bust “forum Wisdom” and bro-science. Mostly because I just want to learn everything I can about this plant.
I have a pretty well stocked lab in the basement. I test for all kinds of things, and have equipment to do it myself. Pretty rewarding. At least for my feeble brain it is.
I’m looking for a new home with other Hydro growers that can help me up my game. Intellectual challenges from better growers than me are what I’m after.
I’m hoping I came to the right place! Hope to see you around.
Well, you came to the right place ! Lot’s of great growers here to help you on your journey!!
I’m going to tag in a few here, and they’re bound to have more sources for you, @Slym3r , @treetrunks, @happilyretired …
Remember you can use that magnifying glass up top, next to your logo to source a tremendous amount of subjects…very helpful, especially if you’re new to GN and haven’t had a chance to catch up !
Good luck, and welcome to GN !
I have a few tents. The old standby is fallponics RDWC. The experimental stuff is fogponics.
In the fog tent I’ve got o2 and co2 control a pair of spectrum changeable lights ac heat Huey dehuy and sensor controls that I built myself based on raspberry pi. I have 4 individual 55gal totes with thier own nute solutions for easy side by sides.
@Moe.Red , nice intro and welcome to GN. You have come to the right place, and hope you find all the information you need. A quick question that got me from your title, Howzit, where you originally from? The reason I ask, is howzit china, is a South African saying, but you just said howzit.
INFORMAL•SOUTH AFRICAN
used as a greeting, equivalent to ‘hello’ or ‘how are you?’.
I wish I had a really cool backstory to share but nope. Just a bum from New York. Now in the Midwest.
Wait this is the internet. I could make something up!
Ok yeah, born in china, where I learned king fu from an early age. Now I roam thru South Africa learning Afrikaans and righting wrongs with my fists of justice.
I snooped your thread about your setup. They can be a little bitchy until you get the water chemistry locked in. Happy to help any way you want me to. I’ll try to find a couple of pics of my setup for reference.
You aren’t missing anything. Except maybe the Cardinals.
You’ve seen some shit man. I’d like to smoke a bowl with you and get some stories.
This one is Fallponics. So 2 plant sites (13 gallons) and a 55gal res which recirculates. Fallponics because the return flow from the pumps is above the water level so it makes a waterfall for that tiny little bit of extra aeration.
I fill the pots up with roots by the end and trees come out the top. When I push, I can get well over a pound a plant. But I don’t push too much here anymore, the fun one is the Fogponics system not pictured. If I’m trying something crazy I’ll do it over there.
I gotta switch to cell to post pics of that system. I can come back later and do that if you want to see what a crazy engineer with too much time and the right amount of tools will do to grow weed lol. It’s a sickness really.
welcome good to have you here to share your knowledge
I vacationed with BOP in Terre Haute for a bit
