These are the ones that I use. They are tough as nails, don't clog, super hard and heavy so they stay at the bottom, cleanable, and an all around good stone to have without the bullshit of those cheap disposable ones.
Oh yeah those look like they would work much better! Thanks. I'm going to get these.
Topping today. Hope its not to late? 16 days in from clone.
I was taught to top after 4-5 nodes of growth. I only have 7 and 1/2 foot ceiling so I start tying them and spreading them out early.
Sweet thanks!!! Lots of great info!
lol thanks! I'm Trying to be gentle to them this run sense there are so many strains I want them all to get along so things go smoothly through flower. Definitely all the same strain next run.
They don't all have too be the same. My buddy runs Chemdog 91 and SuperSour OG kush at the same time. Both finish at 77 days from flip and stretch are similar. No issues if you do your homework.
I hope your lights go higher. These girls have been in veg awhile.
Lights go much higher. 11ft ceiling. :)
Yeah I'm working on extending the cages I think next run i'm going to hang them from the ceiling. Going to drop some vert lighting in soon. Im thinking 8 600s? Going to get right on opening up the holes in the reflectix tomorrow. Thanks for the advice!!
I'm not sure if you are aware but they make what my hydro store calls parkers that are made of that reflectix material .It is all machined together .It covers entire bucket. Great insulator. It has a cut opening for net pods that I use cloth pins for top feeding when the girls are babies. I have 8 gallon buckets and they cost $20 each. I used reflectix to wrap my pipe and made up a parker for the epie as that has a solid top so the parker wouldn't work. Doing this and putting my chiller and air pump outside the room I have been able to run without AC. Although last summer wasn't very hot here in NE
My chiller and air pumps are outside the the room. I have a passive air intake with no ac and leds so no heat from those. I live in a cool climate so shouldn't have to worry about summer temps. I am going to add 8 600 verts next week for side lighting. Then will see how the temp is. Then I might need those parkas.What temp do you like to run your water in the system? I'm at 64 and liking it a lot even thought of going to 62. Thanks for the advice.
