1 Watt = 3.4 BTU heat (other added variables such as hotter summer months, let's use 4BTU per watt) Bare bulbs hung vertically are actually pretty efficient, add a fan blowing up under it and it becomes even better. Heat rises, so with no hood to trap that heat and create even more heat, the...

dieselboy, thanks, that is exactly what I was thinking about. :cool: ttystikk, how many items and what are you trying to cool with your Chiller? When the 2 rooms are up and running, will they both be veg/flowering at the same time or are you going to have them a few weeks apart? What A/C are...

Yes I've noticed that your quite the DIY guy and I am as well for the same reason, I like to know it's done right. Are you going to build your own flip/flop box? Our room has 2 wall banger a/c now (16k and 12k btu units) which makes it a little easier. Although with a single mini-split I...

Ttystikk, I couldn't agree more with you on the benefits of a flip flop. Not only do you get 2 separate rooms harvesting, you have less equipment and cooling requirements like you said (minus the additional cooling for the water since your doubling your system). Example using our room and 5k...

That is very impressive! Awesome work, I'll have to really sit down and go through your thread once again. We were happy with our first run (sub 1gpw, next run hopefully break the 1gpw mark) and they were massive, I can only imagine your ladies. Looking forward to your next run. Should be even...

Wow, does 1.75/w = 1.75gpw? Killed it, excellent setup and growing! -ALLegal420

Round 2 coming soon... 8 buckets with 12 plants (same 5-1k lights *new bulbs*... for now) Moving setup over to the side so we can divide the room in half and wire up a flip/flop with a second 8 bucket setup. That will be down the road but preparing for it now. The plan is to have 2 grows...

Looks sick, whats your plant centers going to be? EDIT: This has had me thinking lately as far as light penetration, light direction, intensity, bud coverage, etc. All I gotta say is I'm very interested in how this turns out. Got my wheels spinning (been thinking a lot on light placement: All...

Quick little update since the new site update and loss of a couple posts... Will post in more detail later. Soil - 27 zips total roughly (wasn't tracked to closely and taken down over time). Hydro - AVG. Weight per plant was 1.38lbs (22 zips) and largest single plant was 1.69lbs (27 zips)...

You'll be fine with a wall A/C setup... We run 2 wall bangers in a sealed room with co2 as well. Seal around the edges with duct tape or sealant to help a get a little more seal. -ALLegal420

3" PVC piping and 3" abs male/female connectors. Looks like these are running a little longer, the trichrome's haven't hit the right stage yet. It's not surprising though as most running UC say their plants run about a week longer than in other systems/mediums. -ALLegal420

We run Hanna meter with PPM, PH, water temp and just leave the probes in the main Rez 24/7 with box mounted on the wall. Works great and water temp is something your gonna wanna keep an eye on as well. -ALLegal420

Were you guys just trying things to see what helped (ie: raising water temp and lowering water level)? Or was there some other deeper thought and experience involved? Hope that didn't come out wrong. lol We've just ran the water 1/2" up the netpot and 58 degree main Rez temps up until this...

Lots of people putting up some awesome numbers in Coco! UC is actually pretty simple and its main benefit is faster veg times along with a few other things people swear it does. Full on water is intimidating though, I hear ya and we probably wouldn't have attempted it without this board. What...

Undercurrent is a style of Recirculating Deep Water Culture where the roots are constantly submerged in water that is moving 24/7. There is a main rez, individual buckets for each plant and a pump at the end which are all tied together at the base with piping. The pump pulls the water from the...

Very interesting pics, loving te setup! Were gonna do something similar on our outside corner plants in our vert. UC setup where there's only 1 light.

Thanks Devlove! Cross- Were thinking of going to 65 days, really need to snag a microscope. As far as flush, were thinking of changing the water twice and just run straight water and H202. Gonna do a little more research to see if we should add anything else. -ALLegal420

Damn... Can't beat that! Still gotta post pics!! lol -ALLegal420

Thanks Papa! We were able to snag some of that Wifi last drop and we're very excited to get those rolling along with some of Logic's Divine gear. #1 - 47" #2 - 45" #3 - 42" #4 - 49" Plant width is about 48-50" but if we tied them up tighter to the cages they'd probably be 42-44" wide...

Bigcorners, thanks mang! ddftre, things are going good and were down to a little over a week left in the UC setup, we've already pulled down some of the soil. Currently we are starting to back down the ppm (EC) and CO2 and will be flushing the last 4-5 days or so. We are also going to try...
