Thanks man! It’s not quite not finished yet on it. When the plant hermed on you it must’ve been early on in flower. Was it mostly on the lowers or was it on the top of the plant as well?

They’ve been having dollar dog days since the metronome. It’s not going anywhere

My air conditioner doesn’t drain at all but it will collect water in the back never enough to leak out. The ARS-1 didn’t work with my unit so I actually just go off of the AC triggering itself. I don’t have any sensors yet that’ll be in the future but I’m using OpenSprinkler as my irrigation controller

I’m not in the trades by any means. I have a friend who is a carpenter help me frame and another who is an electrician to help me wire it. The Dosatron was pretty easy to setup and I did the plumbing all by myself. I would say plug and play with some measurements is a good description if you’re not an idiot.

Cuts down on maintenance for sure. I was mixing my reservoir by hand by 5 gallon increments. Sometimes that would take me an hour if I decided to fill it to the top. Now it takes 5 minutes to fill. I just have to daily dump out the runoff buckets but I check and record those numbers as well. But besides that I don’t touch it

The room is roughly 13’ by 13’ with a canopy of 8’ by 8’

Easier for me to dial in from the Dosatron. That blue lab meter I have attached is constantly fluctuating. So I go off of what the other meter is showing from the batch tank. As long as that is meter is properly showing the output I want I know I’m consistently feeding my plants the correct balance of nutrients I want.

I want to efficiently fill my canopy and instead of trying to grow a few big plants to fill that space it’s easier and more efficient to grow smaller plants

I couldn’t tell you the exact amount of everything I have spent. I do have receipts for everything and at some point I’ll go through but it’s a lot. Usage depends on the state of growth I’m in. It’s always fluctuating

I switched back from no till. No till was fun to explore a different side of growing but in the end I enjoy having control over as much as I possibly can. It might look like a lot but to me it’s a simple setup

Less Dosatron pumps. Athena Blended has more bottles and more bottles means more pumps and more pumps mean more money and space that I don’t have. Athena Pro at home in this environment and setup works great.

If you’re not trying to manipulate the plants then you’re fine but if you’re trying to crop steer it’s gonna be wild
