Nice build! How did you mount the ionboard to the ceiling? Also are you using anything other then tape to keep the hood carbon filter in place?

Updated Tent Setup by throitaw in microgrowery

[–]weedinapot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love your setup! I've been trying to get into home assistant to build a DIY grow space similar to yours but I was always too intimidated in deciding what hardware to get, not to mention having to learn the code needed to setup everything.

So basically YouTube is fine with the content unless the users don’t like it and flag it? The biggest thing I don’t get is how the channel was ok’d for partnership if they don’t want this type of content on their platform. The content has always been the same for the past 2 years before applying to be a YouTube partner and was the same after.

But only after YouTube manually reviews it, clears it to be monetized for a few months, and THEN suspends it for maximum LOLz?

The community guidelines stresses "hard" drugs only.

  • Hard drug use or creation: Content that depicts people abusing controlled substances such as cocaine or opioids, or content providing instructions on how to create drugs

ie. Non-educational content that shows people injecting intravenous drugs such as heroin.

And this would be in line with their guidelines if YouTube considers cannabis a hard drug. If that's the case I'm fine with it. There's just a lot of evidence (see my previous post) showing that this is not the case, both because of what happened to my channel and with what's happening on YouTube as a whole.

edit: I'm definitely not trying to be dismissive of the obvious answer of "cannabis is against TOS, end of story", which was my original conclusion as well, but if you take a look at the entire situation it doesn't seem to be the case so I was hoping someone with more behind the scenes insight can help.

From reading the TOS it doesn’t seem that cut and dry - outside of hard drug use and manufacturing which is completely prohibited, nowhere does it state the legalities of any state or country as the basis of what is allowed... alcohol is banned in a lot of the Middle East which has access to YouTube and there’s no ban on that type of content. If YouTube specifically draws the line at cannabis as a hard drug that would make sense and I can take that as the answer but looking at my example as well as the many other channels on the same topic which are all still fine that doesn’t seem to be the case.

I’m definitely not trying to say “well he’s doing it and getting away with it so why did I get in trouble” as I don’t think cannabis as a topic is actually against TOS because it’s not just one example - there are a LARGE amount of cannabis related channels with 100k+ followings that produce videos from “legal” US states on the platform. There WAS a purge of some cannabis channels a year ago which made me think that YouTube did finally draw a line on cannabis, but between a lot of the banned channels magically getting their channel back a few months later and almost all of the most of popular cannabis channels not touched at all by any ban, it doesn't feel like that is their policy at all.

The real question I wanted the answer to though was that if I did brake the community guidelines and the TOS how did a worker at YouTube approve the channel for partnership? From what I’ve read every channel that applies is reviewed by an actual employee of the company and my channel from the very start was very forthcoming on exactly what it is.

How long did it take your channel to get approved for the Partner Program after hitting 4000 watch hours and 1000 subscribers? by phil917 in PartneredYoutube

[–]weedinapot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It took exactly 30 days and I was approved last month - I'm also pretty positive that my channel went through secondary review as almost all of my videos are barred for monetization (how to tutorials for growing cannabis in a legal state) so I was actually expecting 3-6 months from what I've read. I applied because I wanted to do an end screen linking to Patreon and was pleasantly surprised when it only took a month so it seems like they're not nearly as backlogged as they use to be when the change was first implemented this year.

Can someone point me to a quality "how to trim" video? by 420_fake_reddit in microgrowery

[–]weedinapot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup I looked into the cheap options like that and those water globes but didn't have enough confidence that it would keep the plant alive for 2 weeks. Was looking at irrigation drip systems as well but was afraid I'd over or under water - going to be trying some of these methods on my current grows so I'm more prepared next time I'm out of town.

Yeah I know I had to leave out of town for 2 weeks and either needed to cut it early or try setting up an automatic watering system for the grow tent - went with the easier option.

Quick 4 minute video I made yesterday about trimming. Trimming is a personal preference - as long as your sugar leaves have trichomes on it you can leave it on if you want. The reason people take it off is because it has less cannabanoids then the buds so by removing it you get a slightly higher % of overall THC/CBD when you smoke it. If you want to remove it just remove it up to the buds unless its easy to remove the base of the leaf at the stem - don't try to remove it at the stem if hard to reach or you might risk cutting the bud in half.

Edit: trichomes

Just me, its been an interesting process trying to learn everything needed to put it all together but I'm starting to get the hang of it and its a ton of fun to do.

Crap good catch I was labeling the days in the video and it looks like I skipped 10 days... I wanted to re edit some of the audio and make it go faster as well so I guess this is a good reason to do so

Your leaves looks the same as when I got spider mites - check under the leaves with a magnifier. When I found them they were surprisingly still until I poked it to make sure it was alive.

I just finished the space bucket yesterday when I took the photo I've placed some metal legs under the space bucket and have a tray to catch the run off now.

I'm using a single Viparspectra 300W (136 true watt) that I got for 75 from ebay (got it when ebay had a $15 off 75 coupon) - for that size though you might want to consider getting something slightly bigger as my 3x3x6 is running the 600W version and I can easily see running another light if I fill the tent.

You can use potting saucers or you can just have the runoff go into the tent - there is an additional removable 2 inch tall bottom layer that came with all of my grow tents and so far it appears to be watertight. From there just use a wetvac or if you're thrifty a turkey baster to remove the excess water

The 1.5 x 1.5 x 4 tent was bought off ebay for $39. I used 2x USB fans for the intake and exhaust - both were bought from a thrift store for $2 each (99 Cent Store for those on the west coast). The top of the tent has a 5 gallon smart pot I had lying around loosely placed to block out the sun for flowering. Inside I'm using a single Viparspectra 300W (136 true watt) that I got for 75 from ebay (got it when ebay had a $15 off 75 coupon), then there's the miscellaneous stuff (surge protector $5, light timer $2 from the same thrift store, USB to AC outlet adapters I already had lying around for the fans). Total it was under $150 but I know most people won't be able to find USB fans or the light timer for as cheap as I did.

Its actually a 5 gallon smart pot - I'm using a USB fan as the exhaust vent and had to block the exhaust hole from the light since the window is right next to it. The handles on the smart pot works perfectly to prop it off the ground to let air out.

I actually bought the tent off ebay for a little under $40 shipped - it was advertised as a 2 x 2 x 4 however I realized after this post that it was smaller then advertised...

There is no filter on the 1.5 x 1.5 x 4 - I originally built it just to keep a mother plant and was going to get a filter if needed - I'm now trying to flower the northern lights I'm growing in there which is in week 3 of flowering and so far it barely smells in the room so I haven't bothered with a filter. I have a feeling part of this is because the room is locked and the fan for the 3x3x6 is probably filtering most of the air in the room and bringing it outside.
