Don't dick around?So what do you guys think of this slogan for my future all fems seed company...
"Dongs for days but not a sac to be seen"
I have used those same controllers for a few years. They are great for getting an idea of temps and humidity but are not very accurate I've found. Ive gotten different temp/humidity readings than the Inkbird controllers in the same tent -up to 5 degrees and 10% humidity difference reading; probes 2" from each other. Yours may be fine, i just wanted to throw my experience out there. I keep a backup hydrometer/thermometer inside the tents to verify they are reading somewhat correctly.I got my temp up and everyone seems to be happy now. Note, door has been open for a few minutes. Before I opened it, the temp was at 83 and humidity was about 54. Checked it this morning after lights had been off for a while and temp was 71 and humidity was 60. Lights of seems alright, but I think I’d like to get the humidity up just a little during lights on. I’ll see how this works for a week or so. View attachment 98525
Aren't Eunuch's males without balls?! Lol.Will the name of this future company be “Eunuch Seeds”?
LOL! Yeah, that’s why I said that when he said "Dongs for days but not a sac to be seen"Aren't Eunuch's males without balls?! Lol.
I should have titled this thread differently. You absolutely hit the nail on the head by saying there are so many factors and variables and it definitely isn’t black and white. I was just wondering if it could have been something I did to induce it with four plants all at once. I really do appreciate all the inputs though, it’s got me thinking in other areas that I overlooked or just wasn’t 100% sure of!Seems to me that plants like any under stress will throw nanners in a last ditch effort to keep going. Obv some more likely than others depending on genes . But throwing balls is more genetic imo. Just straight up confused. There are so many factors and variables that go into it though. From both us the grower and the breeder. So it's definitely not black and white and never will be. Jmho
I write down and remember what crosses give me trouble and try to make good decisions moving forward from that. And that's really the best anyone can do nowadays
Grower errors...so many even things like TIMERSGrower errors....reason 3...don't know what happened with 3???
Trust me, thats one of the first things I checked, was my digital timer. I went through all the settings to make sure they didn’t have a second set of on/off timing. I did, however, notice that the Smart Electrician brand digital timers don’t hold their time over the course of a few months. My veg timer was 15 minutes off of my phone time and the flower timer was 3 minutes off. Now I’m debating on getting just a mechanical timer.Grower errors...so many even things like TIMERS
Overloaded timers...hit the thing with my thumb timers...or the digital POS that will just click to off if we have a brown out in summer or a hard surge.
The bullshit problems i have had with timers and my fat thumbs.
12 12 from seed...yeah..dont do it.
I've personally had the drifting time with mechanical timers too.Trust me, thats one of the first things I checked, was my digital timer.

I'd say you may have gotten a bit lucky brother lol. I've had two of those and they both failed on me within a few months and are the reason I only use mechanical timers now!I got 2 of these

One in each greenhouse for fertigation and they have been set 3 minutes apart and haven't missed a beat in 6 months. I can set my watch by them?
I can't find a mechanical timer that allows me to run it for 1 minute 3 or more x's a day so I got these and they be rockin it. 7am, 11am and 3pm, 3 minutes apart. I hear the first in the large greenhouse go 3 minutes before the hour and 3 minutes later on the hour the other goes, for the past 6 months. I'll know pretty quick if they fail as I'm up and having coffee on the patio almost every morning for first fertigation and days off I rarely miss the 11 and/or 3pm fert.I'd say you may have gotten a bit lucky brother lol. I've had two of those and they both failed on me within a few months and are the reason I only use mechanical timers now!
Like @Skunky Dunk Farms says not enough QC these days, which isn't too surprising when everything is outsourced to countries with absolutely no semblance of labor laws or oversight. And things like timers are tough cause there just isn't a premium option. Like, there's no well known, super reliable brand even if you were willing to pay more for it.
There are high quality ones available if you look for “commercial” or “industrial” grade mechanical timers but they are usually hard wired and cost $80 or more. You can find them more often in farm or greenhouse supply places.And things like timers are tough cause there just isn't a premium option.

Digital Im assuming?Regarding timers...i have a ton...but i have 1 GREAT timer.
Hydrofarm has a to the second timer....and that makes floraflex work right. You can rum a 5 GPM emitter for 5 to 20 seconds up to 8 times a day. And they are GOOD timers...rated higher for max wattage too (1575 watts max if memory serves).
