BehindEnemyLines + 2x SF SE3000 + 3x3 Grow

I took This test sample of Orange Krush a week ago to check the trichs. The plant is still going, not quite ready, but almost 😁.

That is amazing I ordered 2 of those lights im going to try them out Next time! I like those Milwaukee controllers why did you pick them over the bluelab? I’m literally about to return mine(bluelab)but cant find out how the dosing works on the Milwaukee one. Like the blue lab you can set it for how many seconds you want it to run how does the Milwaukee one work?? That is to cool im going to try it And you have how many 1 gallon pots in there ?

The price of the Bluelab controllers is insane.

You can make your own system using a PH controller and a peristaltic pump. I was going to just use the Milwaukee PH controller with a cheap peristaltic pump, but when I bought mine it was cheaper to buy the complete kit.

Here’s the link, it’s $200 for everything you need. Milwaukee 716595 Pump, Brown/A https://a.co/d/6ScCXWu

With the Milwaukee unit, you set a maximum PH setting, when it passes your setting, it will pump into the reservoir until the controller reads below your set PH level. I dilute my PH down 50/50 with RO water and my system works flawlessly.

Yes that is very helpful! Where did you find your ebb set up I’m looking at the botanicare one but the res is 40 gal? Also I read that you completely gave up on liquid nutes which dry nutes are you using with JACKS? what are your temps in flower tent ? Does the flood table go above the inline fan hole in the tent ? lol I’m sorry I have so many question temps in Florida mid summer are crazy! Also you run no clean water through the plants your about to harvest ??? they don’t have a harsh taste or anything I’ve ever heard of that before but like I said I’m open to new things haha

My opinion, liquid nutes are kind of a waste of money with dry nutrients like jacks, Athena, mega, etc. on the market.

Flower room ambient air temp 77-81 deg. F. Ideal leaf temperature 77 deg. F.

My flood table is well above where my inline fan pulls air in. Reference my video.

Dr. Bruce Bugbee explains in a video that flushing is necessary when excess nutrients have been given to a plant. If no excess nutrients are given, then flushing is not necessary. Plants convert nutrients into ions they use for photosynthesis. People imagine plants literally uptaking nutrients in salt form, but that isn’t how it happens.

My friends that have sampled my bud have never complained about the taste, in fact they are very complementary.

Looking at the lights you have did I really read detachable driver ?? that is something that I need to lol into I have a 600r in my 3x3 and it gets pretty hot without my portable ac on

Drivers are detachable on 6 ft. cords, this is where the market is headed. It’s to reduce heat in the grow room.

Yeah im returning that thing tomorrow what’s the difference from the black and brown controller just price ? Okay cool I dilute ph down also. I did actually see that video with dr.bugbee in my case with all the liquids you would have to flush. Your stuff looks amazing with just jacks im going to get stuff to make the ebb and flow any tips let me know

The pic and description for that item is wrong. It’s a brand new complete Milwaukee MC720 Dosing Kit. It’s the cheapest you will find a complete unit shipped.

Got the flood tray system set-up for the veg station. As you can see the “walk-in” closet I’m growing in has little to no headspace, but I manage 😎. Have a second ChilLed Single Bar light arriving in a few days to go over the vegging plants.

I’ll be adding a flood tray system to the 3x3 tent here very soon.

Inventive! Awesome, like it.

post links of where you got your reservoir and flood table etc because after seeing that there is absolutely no way that I’m doing anything else other than something similar to this ! Please and thank you
how often do you harvest a plant ? I am excited about this

Straight up man, the only three items I didn’t have delivered to me were the Botanicare 3x3 OD tray, the 2x4 tray, and the Botanicare 20 gal. Res.

I ordered those from my local grow shop. I couldn’t get them/too expensive to ship to my house.

I made my table out of 1 1/4” PVC. There’s different metal tubing you could use for around the same cost.

Love it!
Question regarding the pH & TDS controllers: the above/below switch: does this mean that you can only control 1-way (either upper or lower limit) with 1 controller? So to control your pH both ways you would need 2 controllers?

Pretty much have the veg station 100% complete. I added the second and final light for full coverage, a 2nd ChilLed X1 160w single bar grow light.

I am freaking loving the flood tray table and I cannot wait to get my 3x3 flower room set-up with a flood tray.

BTW I’m breaking the unwritten rule of using soil on a flood tray! 😅 Only until I finish my plants in soil, all new plants are going into coco coir.

Canna Coco or Coco Royale for the win! Cheers SS
