And as you can see the flower tent is being used for veg till veg tent is free, then everything to veg tent and that big Ole girl is getting flipped....

Duuuuude. Thats some cool setups you got there. whats the purpose of double bucket? Curious to see the engineering behind that. BTW.... I was so wrong about my water pump output, lol. the way I had it setup it wouldn't produce so I just cut em off and have water to the very bottom of the pots through a 1/4" tube. should be ok.

Also.. I screwed up maaaan. when I taking out one of the germinated seeds I accidently broke the very super teenie tip of the end of the root. Its already getting it's fuzzy roots too. I broke 1 completely in 1/2 once and it grew just dwarf. This was just the verrrrry tip so I'm praying it still comes up

 

[Fatty LIVES]

feel like a clumsy idiot.. so annoyed i let that happen. Who knows.. maybe I'll get lucky and she shoots up faster

Start snappin all the tips, lol

It's a Mars Hydro "Clone". I've grown with it my first go and it diid very well. However... I switched things up again and now the T5 is back in the tent and the LED Is being used for the 27 gallon grow

Your as bad as me changing shit every week lol...

The double bucket is because I don't have room to put my whole Rdwc flower system in there with my other stuff so I just used regarding buckets and the net pots from my Rdwc system SO WHEN I move them to the other tent I just have to move the netpot... Then I will take the red buckets out of the tent and put them up for something down the road..
When my Scrog is done, I will move that middle bucket out and install this flower rdwc system. That way I only g it to move the net pots when I move from the veg tent to the flower tent... Each tent has 4 buckets... Get it???

Homie. . I mainline by big girl the 3 weeks later while pulling the mainline opposite directions, I split the main stalk... Electrical taped it, upped her nuts and she didn't even loose one leaf... Bad bitches. .. all I'm saying... and we all fuck shit up...

And this one will use 2" pipe and uniseals with a 450 gph water pump... Hella circulation for flower under that 1000hps

badass! I know I'll be makin' 1 of those setups sometime in the future. My neighbor and I now brainstorming to setup a little 12-24 plant grow at his house. SOLAR

the only problem I found when using the 1/4 hose to buckets to maintain bucket water level was that eack bucket had a different ph and ppm... So you will prob have to ph each bucket separately.

How do you topp off your buckets? Do you just add a gallon of premixed nutes or do you fill bucket back up with water, them take a ppm measurement, devide it by your starting ppm, and then use percentages to add exactly what you need to get it back to 100%? I do it the last way but it can get real confusing but it gives you amazing control and growth...

its a matter of how much money do you have to invest lol?

I do the last method you mentioned as well. I have a 800ml Ball Jar I use and set the PPM's a couple hundred higher and add little by little til I have it where I want to be. HG at almost every top off too

Our county allows 12 per patient so how I'm getting the 24 but you said it hahaha.. more plants, more money! We thinking of making my house the VEG location and his the BLOOM. split utilities easier. I got myself a kill-a-watt today. I'm so happy with the low drain from my system. LED, T5, 2 pumps, AC n everything... 935 watts, lol... not bad!

Actually you just make up a gallon of full strength nutes. Say its 700 ppm... you go 3 days it drinks 2 gallon. You add 2 gallon of water back to the bucket, measure ppm. If ppm is now 500, you know it drank 200, and you divide 500 by 700 = .71
100 - 71 =29
It used 29% of the nutes.. Now say you use Flora nova bloom and 8ml is full strength, which it really is.. And you used 8ml per gallon to start with.
You take 8ml x 29%= 2.32 ml.
Now say you got 4 gallon of water in your bucket, then you take 2.32 x 4 = 9.28 ml of fnb which would be 9.5 ml to top off res.
When you first made your bucket it would of took 8ml x 4gallon = 32 ml of fnb
So 9.28 ml is 29% of 32ml

That is how I do it, everyday in flower, and thats my secret to big ass autos.. I go a few days in veg before bringing nutes up to full strength. They dont consume much nutes in veg anyway...

You wanna be my Dad? hahahahaha.. jk man. That totally makes sense. I believe I'm doing a similar thing but not getting as much Bill Nye with it. This is also my first auto so I'm just working really hard not to over feed. It is really cool watching the PPM's drop after a night though. Cool to KNOW they're eating!!

That is awesome! 935 watts.. Im using between 30 and 40 kw per day for my whole house, and I would say 10 kw is just my grow.. And hell I havent even turned on my 600 in veg or changed my 600hps to 1050hps.. But by then the ac should be off and I will just use the lights to heat my room, saving on heat this winteer, so it should about even out and stay close to the same. Prob about 175 to 200 a month..

lol... I have a really good instructor... has taught me well,,, he says use the force, young skywalker og.... lol ha

Padiwans Unite! Haha. I've got a mentor as well. been Gorilla growing for the better of 30 yrs. Although he's great to take advice from, he has no hydro experience. All outdoor, but his nugs are mehhhh... but again.. Gorilla and set in his ways although he helped me when I was neurotic to all hell my first run. These are some of his girls from this yr. They were seedlings I gave him with just a couple leaf sets. Been soooo much fun watching em get to 6ft + in just a few months!

I'll see what my KW/Day is from my room come about 4 o clock tomorrow :). Kill-A-Watt piece is really cool!
