First and Foremost, This is a Legal Med Grow for Me and My Patients!
Every single plant grown in this thread is allowed by my State & Personal Doc's Recommendation.
Secondly, I'd like to give a special thanks to Skitty who created this setup and style of growing and for taking the time to show a few of us just how simple & easy it can be to grow indoors with little to no effort.
So then let's get down to it Shall We!?!?
Reservoir, is a Brute trashcan that gets filled with with RO Daily.
Pump is a 1200gph Little Giant, and it is much too strong
so I have a ball valve inside the tank open halfway to release the pressure.
This also creates a mixing action in the Rez so that I don't have to manually mix my nutes anymore.
Mixing the nutes takes about 3 minutes, watering close to the same!
What used to literally take an hour, now only takes a few minutes, and saves my back
I water one table at a time,
controlled by a 2 line manifold with each line having it's own ball valve.
Each table has it's own hard line manifold circling the buckets,
with soft Black vinyl tubing going to each of the nine plants.
Rings are 6" in diameter, each with 7 holes drilled 1/8
I plug in the pump, turn on valve #1 for approx 1 minute as each table takes about a minute to water
I then close the Valve#1 and open Valve#2 for a minute
System is completely DTW with plumbing running through the floor and eventually outside.
System is made with various home depot and hydro store fittings
1/2" black vinyl tubing, 3/4" black & clear vinyl tubing, and 1/2" semi-rigid irrigation tube.
Buckets are; 8" Mesh Bottom Pots (HG8MESHPOT)
without the holes on the sides.
This is very important as you don't want your medium to spill out
~Medium~
Root Riots (clones)
Grodan 4" x 4" x 4" Cubes
Grodan 1/2 Rockwool Grow Cubes (Croutons)
~Nutes~
*Pro-Tekt Silica
*Magical
* GH Micro & Bloom
No additional additives or boosters Needed!
Nutes mixed fresh every morning.
Entire reservoir used, then refilled with RO overnight.
Buckets get fed every day, appx 1 gallon of solution per pot, providing ample runoff, to waste.
* Microbelift bti @ 1.1ml per gal.*
(every other day to keep fungus gnats away)
* ~Mycostop~ *
~(every two weeks)~
Mycostop drench every two weeks, starting from rooted clones until week eight of flower.
Ratio; 1 grams... per 10 gallons of nutes
~Key Highlights of Mycostop~
Control or suppression of many root rot and wilt pathogenic fungi. Pythium, Fusarium, Alteraria, Phomopsis, Phizoctonia, Phytophthora, Botrytis. Plants often respond with increased vigor and yield, like a vitamin boost.

- Safe to apply.
- Organic!
- Non-phytotoxic.
- Use on all crops such as vegetables, herbs, ornamentals.
- Easy application by drench or through hydroponic delivery.
- Small packets store for 1 year when frozen.
- EPA registered since 1994.
- Increasingly used by large and small growers.
- Great for Hydroponics!
When applied as a drench or spray the dried spores and mycelium of the Streptomyces culture in Mycostop germinate and begin to grow on and around the plant roots. In doing so, they create a biological defense against root infecting pathogenic fungi which cause disease such as wilt and root rot. Mycostop is used by growers for disease caused by Pythium, Fusarium, Rhizoctonia, Alternaria, Phomopsis, and to a lesser extent for Botrytis and Phytophtora. Mycostop has particularly good activity against Fusarium.
Mycostop is increasingly used as a seed treatment for Pythium, Fusarium, and other seedling pathogens.
Mycostop has been shown to increase plant vigor and yields even in the absense of obvious root pathogen activity. The explanation is that the Streptomyces produce plant root stimulating hormones (which has been demonstrated in the lab) or the Streptomyces contro minor root pathogens which slowly feed on and damage roots.
~Grow Room Specs~
S.J. DR300W Tent
8" Raptor Hoods
SolisTek Matrix Ballasts
Ushio Bulbs (Veg)
Eye Hortilux (Bloom)
Botanicare 7" tall White 4' x 4' tables
Two layers of trellis netting
Clones taken from moms when big room is at 6-7 weeks of flower.
By the time clones are rooted, the big room is cleaned/empty and babies transplanted.
Small clones go right under the big lights and spend very minimal time under T5's
I also take at least twice as many clones as I am going to need and pick and choose the healthiest and most robust.
This greatly helps with crop vigor and yield.
Pics coming soon!
