Thanks BB :) I just love Amsterdam. I get homesick when I "leave" there, which I about every 6 weeks or so (50 mile drive for me). I've been to the Dampkring more than any other (the previous version mostly though). Nowadays when I go I always go to the 2e kamer (good coffee, feels like a classic coffeeshop, very small though) and to the Jolly Joker (for Bio Amnesia and temple balls). I also frequently go to Barney's because they have a volcano on every table and the cutest girls to explain how to use them. I also like the Doors (or is it the Doors Palace?) because it's one of the few places where you can have a beer and smoke at the same time.
Note the two that refuse to grow 'up'. Lightest green stems though, and have roots reaching the water.
My tap is 180ppm, instead of using that I used ro water, 150PPM AB (H&G AquaFlakes) and a bit of cannazym (which I always use in my unchilled dwc boxes).
Almost done with the flower setup, going to move the plants in it today. They started detecting each other and started to battle for light. I'd rather give them some more time under T8 to get some more leaves but can't wait any longer, roots are starting to entangle too.
Almost done yesterday when I realized the foam isn't 100% light proof, not even close. Doh... So more ummm... what do you call these... car window blankets... And when I finished that and put one bottle in it (see the net cup on the right) I realized that's not going to work either, the bottles are transparent and would light up. So, not done yet, need to cover the edges.
The green tubes on the right is to and from the chiller (outside my closet). On the left is another pump with a DIY venturi, haven't tested it yet. Will also drop some air stones in there (connected to air pump of course :) ). It'll all look a bit cleaner when the pots are in it, but like I said, low budget, only thing I had to buy was the pond liner and 49 bottles (which contain demi water, 0 ppm, which I use to dilute my tap initially).
Every time I remove a plant (like the males) I can fill the hole with a filled bottle reducing amount of required nutrient solution. It's now over three times larger than my rez (48 gallon instead of 14 or so).
Edit: could not find my phillips 400w agro bulb, had to buy a son t pia plus instead. Less suitable for vegging...
