Yeah trying to give it as much slope as possible. Would work fine but the only bulkhead they had in stock has a bit more of a lip then I'd like so going to have to order one thats lower profile and the slope will work perfect as is. I studied philosophy and always loved plato and aristotle so I...

Cage coming along. Lights good to go and mistking ready. Just waiting on dragon ledges so I can setup branch network and hang plants! Should be here Monday along with black pvc board for corner walls. Picking up my Ambilobe on February 6th or 7th. 99% sure I'll name him Aristotle

You have any indication as to why they not working? I'm very surprised by that.

Hahaha yeah lighting is actually a very dynamic and complicated science when you get into it. Should see my work with all the lights on in the plant rooms have a bout half a million watts of led power total 😎

Also you have a timer with 6 outlets. Can it run different time programs to different outlets? 😍😍😍😍😍 I need those in my life idk if I've seen one with that many. If you could link the one you use that'd be appreciated.

That is facts right there. I did not realize these have the ability to use a jumper cord to string the lights. Definitely going to do that at some point or get a double bulb t5 fixture and run a nice led t5 for plants in one side and uvb in another.

Don't get me started on epigenetics. Some studies postulate that a woman that smokes while she is pregnant can cause epigenetics changes the persist 7 generations later. They done some cool studies on mice with epigenetics and environmental changes but I don't remember them well enough to quote...

This is the bulb I bought btw. Will do the trick just fine.

For any light loving nerds like me out there interested in getting their plants better leds I'd suggest building them not buying assembled. Some great resources for led builds: Rapidled.com Pacific light concepts Chilledtech Horticulture lighting group

Okay so I can definitely help here. Par is how much photo synthetically active radiation a light is putting out and ppf is basically your micromoles per second (aka how much usable light energy the light is giving of per second.) That light is going to definitely be a lot better than just a...

For the record I am by no means telling you you're not doing the right thing, because you are. That practice should atleast help to reduce and start to break down pesticides. If pescticides are a major concern propagating from seed is always best option but obviously time intensive and slow.

That's not the case but depends on what kind of systemic pesticides are used and how nasty they are. For example it's been a big issue in Canadian cannabis where people bought clones from nurseries and failed pesticide testing on buds from all the clones over 3 months later. Mind you this is 3...

That sounds like it could be pretty cool! I'd you do that lmk how it goes. Seems like we might have a similar aesthetic appeal. At end of the day I just want it to look cool but look natural. If it looks like I went to madagascar or some tropical island and cut a 2x2x4 piece of forest and stuck...

Oh m Oh my eyes are bigger than my stomach believe me haha. I'm aiming for most incredible cage on earth and expecting to land at a nice looking and highly functional cage. 😂 Form is not all that important to me at end of the day, but I do want to create the best looking cage I can.

Definitely get a 0 voc paint eco friendly paint. Benjamin moore, sherwin williams and all the others big names make them. There are also a lot of good smaller brands.

Hey anyone ordered from dragon strand? Ordered a set of the ledges for my diycages and they've been processing order for 6 days...

I wouldn't say you are worrying to much. They are probably using mycobutanil and other systemic fungicides unfortunately propagating will not remove these as it's already in the cutting. In general most systemic pesticides should leave the plants systems in like 3 months though.

Right now I am trying to use a bunch of old lightly used soil from a bunch of indoor plants I had so I am basically just mixing it back into some fresh organic soil (roots organic) at a 1:1 ratio and then adding some biochar, microbial innoculants and amending is with oyster shell dust, alfalfa...

Not 100% opposed to having stuff on flower but had a particular aesthetic in mind I'm shooting for. If putting something in floor makes cage more functional/ better environment for the cham I will certainly do so. basically my plan is to kind of have two main "centerpiece" trees and then to...

I went with white tall narrow pots you'd typically see used in hydro growing. Cut raked out roots and put them in my own soil blend. I have to say I was incredibly impressed with quality and cleanliness of the plants I bought at lowes. I did spend like 60 minutes picking up and going through...
