Thank you for the prompt reply - I'm a big fan of ball check valves from Hayward Supply - a saltwater aquarium servicing company owner taught me that trick. Zero failure, ever; gravity pulls the ball back down into the cup and its a cork.

I'm also considering what drain bucket to use (pvc pipe to ____?), and I guess how high to make the holes. My thought on your first room in this thread is if you would have made your bulkhead/drain holes from the bottom of your water-heater pans, you wouldn't have had issues with standing water perhaps.

I'm thinking of going all 7g Root-Trapper (series 3, I think - the new ones have netting bottoms fuck yeah) and getting the same drain buckets, tomato cages, and doing pvc like you.
Pvc is easy.

I just need to figure out how/where/what to drain *to* (kiddie pool?), and can happily run sump pump manually for now (though I see the light on float valves, for sure).... just wanting to get plumbing and drain tub figured out first.... I like your use of pvc feet under your bags inside buckets - clever. You could attach them to eggcrate and make quick, easy, super cheap plastic tables that way too, though you obviously have it dialed in.

Uni-seals are your friend.

where did you get the fittings for that gas line change and the gold fittings for thw eater pipes so the ro can feed directly? do u no what their called/

I made a few changes this run to alleviate some regular labor.

Ultrasonic fogger. thanks to gettogro for the design.

Tapped into the water lines for the RO instead of a hose from a faucet.

Also tapped into the NG line supplying the dryer for the CO2 burner. No more LP tanks.

Here's the next run. OG Raskal White Fire OG. 11 seeds in the pack, all 11 popped (first week of nov) so the tallest 10 went in the room. #11, the shortest, which was half the size of the tallest, is going to used as breeding stock.

what are the centers between each bulbs? how far do you distant the rows of plants rom each other

Home Depot. They're called Sharkbites.

These are roughly 4 ft from bulb to bulb, but it's always room dependent.

Awesome thread. Makes me want to pick up some of og rascals gear

thanks for the reply bro, im starting a large legal op and i wanted to scrog but now im thinking trees, do you mind if i ask, wat size pots do you use? was it 1os? amd what do u yield per plant when growing horizontal?

do you like the heavy 16 full line or the heavy 16 with the aptus additives better?

what fitting did you use to connect the co2 generator with the copper gasline pipe?

Pot size varies but with vert usually 5, 7, or 10. Yield depends on lots of variables.

do you like the heavy 16 full line or the heavy 16 with the aptus additives better?

I run the full heavy line with some random extras. Plus Heavy is made in the USA.

maddd props bro. esp for takiing the time to reply back.

Glad to help.

Not sure exactly, I pieced it together at Home Depot.

when groing vertical bulbs, how far onto of the girls do they stay? assuming that the normal canopy distant applies to the sides but what hwight do

are you happy with runnng the full heavy 16? with the results? do you run veg ab too for it and by full line do you mean bud a and b and all tha additives listed or do you leave some out? i was thinking of running cyco full line or cyco with aptus but ive been hesaing more people talk about the heavy 16

Uni-seals are your friend.

Uniseals look amazing. Way easier than bulkheads, cheaper too.

Would it be advisable to use larger, cheaper totes? Asking because I'm not sure if 20gal (like your OR buddies) may be my jam and I could save a little cash on the buckets (about $16 ea) since I need a fair number of them.
Thoughts?

in general you wana use the heavier grey more "industrial" rubbermade plastic units, the 6$ ones just deform SO MUCH when filled with water.

 

[Funkadelic]

I went with building long tables with corrugated pvc roofing for drainage, though the buckets on the ground/converted UC system Deacon uses allows for max height.
Im honestly thinking Im gonna hit the ceiling this round, too, and I don't have mine anywhere near dialed in like Deacon yet.

If im understanding right, these are 48" on center.

Second that. get the hvy duty rubbermaid ones from your home store with the lids.... or get the hvy duty garbage ones with the wheels is you need 50+ gal with ease of movement.
The 20 + gal work great but if u r going for more bigga and have the ceiling the ones with wheels are great.

Update

This was 4 White Fire OG, 4 Vanilla Kush, 1 New York Chunk and 1 Headband.

Chopped at 60 days and fed the full Heavy 16 line, AgSil, and CaliMagic. No teas.

The NYC (fourth pic) came in at 25oz. The rest are of the Headband that came in at 21oz. Yeilds of the Wifi and VK were par for the room.

The White Fire OG (white dom) claimed victory @ the 8th Michigan Medical Conference, by courtesy of MotaRebel, with 1st place Best Indica. Tested @ 25.73% total.

 

[psilobuds]

damn those bitches r hitting the ceiling!!

 

[Funkadelic]

Deacon, your room is cannabis porn. Its just.... sexy.

Doing my best to emulate your setup in my own bootleg way. Your converted UC beats even-slightly elevated tables, since my girls are starting so tall this round. Seriously looking like they'll also hit the ceiling, as they're monsters in veg and I have to get another round of clones before I throw em.

I'm following your lead, though, on trees. My 707 headbands in horizontal with Nectar For The Gods *never* cleared those numbers per watt. I'll switch from Lucas/GH to Heavy16 before long.

Your wallet is the one that says "Bad Motherfucker" on it. Thanks for the updates.

Dude you ROCK! !!!!!!:) :) "
.those are bigger than my friends outdoor plants lol.
Glad to post hey just a suggestion:
I was suprised that you
DO
NOT
recirculate
especially with all those expensive beneficial additives
hey if you modified your system to make it recirculating which what it was designed to be originally; (UC) it could boost
your YIELD 10-15percent
Coco -is-hydro when recirculating
& it can be organic-
the nature of coco actually PREFERS a recirculating system have a consistent balance in its cation ratioI know I'm going to get bombarded with this a lot of people would disagree but Coco actually does better in a recirculating system take
when we irrigate we have no idea which nutrients you push and pull out of the media .testing runoff is not an accurate INDICATOR allocated nutrient ppms.
Thanks for doing something different.
Also have you noticed any strains that yield better at trees?
Peace Happy Farming
