Going through one of my storage units I found one of the original 6" air stones from the infamous Dining Room Trashcan Caper!!!

[DoobieBro462]

Ain't that the truth.

What's with the root staining? Structure looks great. Do you think this is just a massive colony because of the temps and O2? Can you get a culture?

I'm digging your fingernails you do those yourself or your trainer at the "gym"

Haha no the better half was kind enough to hold it for me to grab a pic.

staining from the massive i think… could have em sparkling with some hygrozyme but ill wait for next grow for that

My ass needs a break so ill be gone for awhile and will update the grow when i get back… Everyone needs a sanity break sometimes and finding myself not in a place to be a benefit here but rather grouchy lately so catch you all when i get my attitude sorted lol.

Yeah take a break. I'm on one too sorta, almost had a death in the family Friday so been out of it. On the mend tho.

Ok so looks like we will have another casualty but 2 are going strong. I haven’t paid as much attention as i needed this grow with lots of life stuff going on and getting ready to move. But here are the ladies as of now. The crown rot definitely took its toll. At this point it is what it is and I probably should not have rushed the grow. But did some learning here and shown res temps of 83f can work if you are attentive (unlike i have been) and can supply increased o2

 

[Aqua Man]

Also will have to chop a touch early because im moving in 3 weeks so yeah will see how close they get to finished

 

[Moe.Red]

Sorry to hear that man. Sometimes life gets in the way, can't be helped.

Good to see you back brother

If in honest 3” is far overboard for a 4 site system. Like 8-18 it starts making sense. Much like the overkill of pumps in 4 site systems. The same size pump does many more sites…. Why? Because its overkill for 4 but you can add more to them if you like.

The same size piping used for 4 sites and 32 sites… like does nobody see this?

Piping and pumps are based on flowrate and turnover. I find it absolutely absurd the amount of people who think you need this for a 4 site system with a billion GPH pump because you know… more is better.

Yeah better for their profits and marketing.

Rant over.

So how is everyone tonight. Hoping to put some pics and a vid up tonight

"honest 3” is far overboard for a 4 site system"

I don’t agree

 

[Xantum]

I'm jelly. I wish I had rooms rather than tents.

If you were to do a hydroponic grow, would you be a jellyfish then?

fair enough… mind sharing your reasons?

 

[Aqua Man]

Ill grab some pics once the lights come on. The second victim of the crown rot is still in there limping its way towards the end but i dont have any expectations for it.

Since life is busy i continue the lazy ways and only peaking in on them every few days.

water temp is down to about 80f now and roots all look healthy

I run a 4 site and 2" would be a nightmare growing trees.

 

[Aqua Man]

Why? I understand ppl all think that it prevents plugging but there are prefilters. The pipe size is about flow rates. Plugging is about the wrong aize grow containers and no outlet filters.

i mean sure it provides a bit more defence from clogging but it doesnt prevent it. The pipe size needa to accommodate the amount of water flowing through it.

i just dont get how from going from 2”-3” would cause a nightmare?
