MPB's are takin over. Bossman converting.

Nice babies...nice nutrient shelf...nice clean room! I have those same air stones...what size lines and what kind of manifold did you end up with? Also what air pump? I'm about to hook mine up and curious what size pump you have and if it seems like it's enough for those air stones.

Looking forward to video time!! Kick ass, bro

edit: I've been using RO water with the advanced nutes in veg and haven't needed to add calmag at all. There seems to be enough in the A & B formula for my girls.

Thanks DD,
Lesson learned. I did not think I went cheap, 1500$ for a 2.5 ton. But I know now that is cheap. So after 800$ in HVAC between install and repair.
This unit says it runs from 14 degrees F to 130 F.
The 130 may be wrong as I am medicated but the 14 I have read and reread.
If all goes to plan I pick up dehuey today and will make a vid if the girls going in.


Man the support on this site from all you guy's is frickin amazing.

sorry man, i did not mean to suggest that you went cheap bro, not at all. I am really looking forward to your video bro, i can see this is going to be a great thread to follow. Your room looks amazing and your skills to boot.

ps / i dont use cal mag at all and never have. I dont have ro water or never have either. It is rule of thumb here to add it if using ro water though, i think you should supplement it. Give it a try

I am using the Ho blo 80.
I used 3\8 line to the manifold. Witch is just is just a bunch of 1\2 in T's and 90's.
I just pushed the 3\8 line inside the 1\2 inch about 3 inches. Then taped with the metal water proof ducting tape. Then at at the stone's . I cut a 1 inch piece of 3\8 hose slid it into the 1\2 inch hose then used the plastic hose clamps.
The pump is running super cool with ton's of bubble's.
I am seriously mediated right now so if you want a better breakdown just hit me up.
I think I have the pieces to build another one and take pics.

I had the 3\8 hose already ran to the room from my first setup. When I replace nute lines after this run I will just run 1\2 in hose from the pump to the manifold. And then only have to use the 3\8 hose as a reducer at the stones.

Also I cut the hose to each tub the same exact size to keep even pressure.

Its all good DD's.
I was the one that added the fact that I think it was the cheaper way to go.
And like you have said a hundred times.
Dont go cheap on the AC.

Personally I add cal mag+ once per week at 2-3ml/g just as a preventative. I’m sure your girls will tell you if they want more.

Oh and good luck tomorrow bro, hope it all works out for you

Pics.
So the Purple kushes.
Are doing incredible. I have followed DD's feeding exactly with no variation.
I did not get root pics because It felt unsafe by myself. I should have some to help out in a bit with some root porn.
But let me say DAMN!!!! they are mostly along the sides I would say 80% of the root mass is on the sides.

It is hard to tell in the pics. But that is a 1000 watt 7 inches from them. And I tilt it when not working so it is aimed straight at them 4.
I am aiming for as little lumen shock as possible.

Do you guy's think since I am using RO water I should supliment with some Cal\mag. Honestly I dont like to use much Cal\mag if any.

Hello Bossman! I hope you are well. Your young ladies look beautiful! Being a first timer with 6" cubes, as well as the whole system, I'm not totally clear on watering frequency on the ebb and flow tables. I know these cubes hold a hell-of-a-lot of water so I want to make sure I'm not over or underwatering... Thanks for all the wonderful pictures, questions, and feedback!!!

Hi Coxie
I set my ppm at 650 ppm/6.0 ph and i water/flood 1once a day. If you r in a rush to get them big then you could water up to 4 times per/18 hours.

Thanks for the info, Boss. Good idea sliding the 3/8 into the 1/2 line. That just solved a little issue I had :)

Such a clean grow room BOSSMAN!!! :cool IMHO, your Purple Kush are exhibiting a Ca and Mg deficiencies as indicated by the necrotic spots and interveinal chlorosis on the the lower fan leaves... :thinking

 

[BOSSMAN88188]

What up peep's.
I will answer responses later. I am totally lagging my arse off today.
I havent even tended the girls yet. And I usually start in there at 7am.
But uploading a vid always takes a bit o time. Atleast it takes me awhile. With a little help from GDP.
I just wanted to get this vid posted. It was taken on the 24th.

And they're off! I love it, bro! Damn those 6x6 cubes are HUGE! That doesn't even look like it will fit in my netpot lol.

Awesome air circulation in the room!

Yeah I noticed that. SSHH dont tell anyone but I slipped some Cal\Mag in there when they were in the last weak in the flood setup. I am going to let it correct itself in the new system. Following DDs feeding schedule.
I plan to folior feed the first couple weak in flower. And a little in the next couple weaks of veg.
I will add some epsom salt to the folior.

And they're off! I love it, bro! Damn those 6x6 cubes are HUGE! That doesn't even look like it will fit in my netpot lol.

Awesome air circulation in the room!

Thanx bro, It is very windy in there. I recently bought a temp laser. And was shocked at all the hot stale spots.
So I decided to go fan happy.

Looking very nice and very clean. Good job bro!

Thanks lost. I got some catching up to do in the dirt rooms. And then I will have to make it out you're way.
Let me know next time you are down this way.

I am going to have to measure. They are huge.
