Looks killer.... Truly a legit setup my friend! What are you going to do about the height difference in the plants? Are u doing a second Trellace for the tall ones and what about height of the lights what will u do about that?

I have couplings so that I can raise each trellis with whatever length of pvc i need.

I probably won't do this untill it is really late in flower and they need it.
as for the light height. It sucks that everything is so close. I'm def used to much more space between the lights and plants. Unfortunately at this point its just ride it out time. Gonna have lots O larf and hopefully the intensity of the light will make up for the density of the canopy

Such a beautiful sight... Keep up the great job DMsteppa! :cool

thanks

Lookin' good!, I'm doing a build out on a very similar sized setup right now. What are the dimensions of this room your working with?

Has Current Culture been replacing the pumps or providing you with free rebuild kits? My AP60's went out within the first two months of flower, the sent rebuild kit, failed again..

thx for the link - Im ordering 2

I think the bigger issue is why all the fails in such a short time? can I do something to help ensure this doesnt happen?

 

[RMCG]

Too much backpressure would be my guess. Maybe just faulty pumps/diaphragms? who knows.

well thats what I was wondering (back pressure) the black plastic manifold that comes with the ap has many more holes in it then the 8 Ill be using for for 8xl

 

[RollinEndough]

That's a diffuser for pond use yo.

Worry not, the AP-60's were problematic and cc discontinued their use over a year ago. All pumps that had been 60's were upgraded to 100's.

From what I understand they recently upgraded and are now including Alita's (UL Listed and 3 year warranty) in all their systems now. The AP's work well, so don't frett....Turbo if it's been over a year the AP's no longer under warranty but I bet if you hit up cc they'd get you a smoking deal on a new pump.

 

[DMsteppa]

yea cc replaced the first one that went out because it was under warranty. It also was not a diaphram as the thing literally burnt out.

This second one I just replaced and am hoping that its just a diaphram. Either way I want to have an extra around for when that does happen again.

I check all air pumps every 12 hrs. It fuckn sucks, as this is not what I'm trying to do with my time but........ such is life.

Def looking into alternatives to 8 ap-100's

damn well I just got a system and mine came with the ap 100 - just my luck

 

[BudGoggles]

I must be one of the lucky ones. My ap 100 been going strong for like 2 yrs or some shit.
Good luck man

trellis's went in earlier this week, gotta snap some shots of it today.

started flower 2 days ago, gonna let everything stretch just to where I want it and hit it all with a lil bushmaster spray.

Now why in the world would you use bushmaster in a room like that?
