Yeah, dusty....the lids are split/"hinged".....it's molded into the plastic so you have to move the net pot over to the side that has the 2/3rd split. It will be intersting to see if there's anyhting left of the net pot or if the roots will destroy it...I'haven't looked!
I think my approach of removing water from the system and replacing it every night is working well. It's a steady drop in ppms.....and I'm @ about 600 ppm now. We're in full "Summer" here....temps in the 80's for highs.... so the water temp climbs slowly all day (lights off) to right about 70. By taking 20 gallons out last night and replacing it with tap water I took the temp from 70 to 64F. This AM it was 48 F outside and the water temp was still 64F after 12 hours of light w/ 6K. I can't even imagine having it any other way. A/C???? Say what? LOL
tied a few more branches up....and am very happy with the overhead pvc "rack" system.
kinda just watchin' and waitin' now.... hopin for more bulk and maybe some color to creep in.
gotta start thinkin' about the next run too....... ;-)
thanks for stoppin in, folks!

That patented Colorado cold is coming soon bro. I know lots folks like to seal their rooms and add all the climate controls (heat/A/C) back in...but here I just go with the WEATHER I'm given and adjust as needed. The point being....unless yer gonna seal it all up you should be able to squeak by for a month or so using a few tricks and bag the chiller/etc. Yer call tho...
Lovin' the cool nights here. 42F out there right now...... 70F in the UC room....64F water temp. Just a coupla gable end fans pushing/pulling through on the Quantum thermostat set @ 75F and we're good to go here. (fuck the smell, I could care less and it smells damn NICE!)
In the SOIL grown Dept. :
Saw your Purple Urk post about the A/C possibly rampin up the purps. Could be! Mine are probably seeing low temps in the 60's.... not sure.... all i know is that it never gets very warm in this tent and in the AM the space cools off well with the cool mornin air screamin in...
and we are seein some color...fer sure....
coupla Urkle/White shots for ya..... last pic is a (crappy) scream shot in the tent. KKSC in the back center w/larger cola and the fuzzy one on left up front... CS x SD are 2 on right behind the blurred PU/White...
gonna give em a bit more time. Sittin @ about 60 daze now and have been givin em plain water for a week or so now...
One of the PU's is just that...dank as fuck. The others are more grapey. Typically crappy yields for me in soil...LOL. Maybe an oz a plant for the PU's... 1.5 to 2 tops for the KKSC.
still have quite a few seeds left too....so I'll do these again at a later date if the smoke is good. (have some friends poppin some right now too)
back to the water and the BIG buds... LOL

Yeah think you are right bro, I'm sure I can eek by for a month or so! Plus the bucket res' are individual so i'm screwed on a res chiller anyway! lol. Sounds like temps are right where they need to be for summer growin in your neck of the woods!! Fully aired cooled with outside airsouce, 12.5k btu portable and 12hrs with 6= 82-84 degress...but hey lights off it hits 74 within an hour or two...the mini-split is 24.5k btu, so hopefully that facilitates the vert switchback....
Looking killer and Damn you aint lying on some colors!! I need to get that ac in asap! Most def them urkels need another week or so...but i think i had a way diff, urk dom pheno, she was swollen and calyx'd by 55 days and came down at 66... lemme know how yours smokes cuz I may need to pop a few more myself....good luck with the berry white, mine are not as impressive this round- no pop tart pheno i was lookin for....

Thanks Rocky. It's a crazy damn system..fer sure. I'm lovin it!
10 weeks of 12/12 today......though I'm thinking the pH swing held me back a bit so I'm thinking I may be closer to 9 weeks. Dunno really. Just going on trichs @ this point....
As you can see...they are starting to eat themselves/eat up the stored reserves of food. Lotsa yellow....and some red and purp starting to show also. found mites on one plant....not too bad...but there..... so i blasted em with some water/iso and this AM I'm not seeing any visible webbing.... damn little bastards. My NPS musta given out right here at the end of the cycle....
still thinkin about lettin em go another week or so...... but it's basically day-to-day @ this point....
gonna dump the res again today to try to get the remainder of the nutes out of the solution.....but yeah...we're gettin there!

Giideon....
Thanks for stoppin in again.
this AM= morning. No Azamax/azatrol this late in the game for me. I can deal with em this late in the game without chems/etc.
Yup...trimming by hand....and solo! The wife may chime in here/there but she has a real job so it's mostly my gig. FWIW, I trim wet....and manicure as I go as much as possible...
then they get a hang before getting sealed up....burped/sealed/burped/etc.
my hand already hurts..... LOL

This is absolutely badd ass! Thank you so much sir for your insite and pics to help this nube out. Also thanks for UC chimming in as well. Very great grow. Was wondering whay you think you will pull off of each plant??? I know there are a lot of factors to this but would like a best guesstamate??? I am hearing people pulling almost 2# off of one plant? I wonder how true that is?
Thanks again.
Thanks again.

I won't get anywhere near that here for yields, GanjaAL. I think it's do-able...but I'm admittedly not that anal and didn't cover ALL the bases fully....and I have a life....so we get what we get here. LOL. Live and learn and go and do it all again...ya know?
Best guess? 10-12 oz of top-notch/dense-as-fuck bud per plant. The rest is going for bubble hash/PTO! There could be more weight in these buds as they are hard as rocks and some are double/triple heading...we shall see..... it's kinda of a mess in there and I can only easily get to about 1/2 of the garden at this point! nyuk...nyuk....
too damn much trimming either way! OUCH.

Ah in the morning (AM) lol i see that now, didnt figure you wanted AzaMax that late but I had to ask because sometimes people have some pretty strange things they will do when the "Borg" start to invade, myself included, back before I had experienced the centers of all my top Colas had molded :puke (learned from experience to not spray after 4th week)
When you make your bubble what's your method?
Trimming alone isn't so bad just need comfortable trimmers, a good radio, a good chair, and a enough good meds to keep ya going until your new meds are cured :)

It's the duration of the trim that wears me down..... although things could easily be worse. LOL I KNOW a buncha you know what I'm talkin' about! File under "Necessary Evil" snicker...snicker....
Bubble making here is just a 4 bag ghetto set up the wife sewed up for me. Paint straining bag up top...110/80/65 down below. I could use another smaller bag, I'm sure... but overall most of what I grow (indica dom) gets caught up in these 4 bags. Freeze the trim...have lotsa ice on hand...and BAM.... bub.
shouldn't be long now before I'm diggin em out. ;-)

Scream shot- Day 72.
I'm thinking of goin in tonight and taking a bunch of these yellow leaves off to open things up for the last week+.
Does anyone out there who grows da trees in UC's/MPB's/DD's/etc have any advice for trimming up my clones for the next run? Or should I just let em bush like they did this time and trim from there when they hit bloom/just after they hit bloom? Just getting roots now and can go either way.....just can't seem to find any posts that >directly< address the trimmin' of trees like these. Any help appreciated.
Warmest temps of the year here righht now. 85-90F for highs...60F for the low last night. Water temps are right @ 70...lights on. Not as easy to cool it off as it was before....but I think I'm OK cus I'm so close to finishing these up.
thanks for stoppin in!

Great show man! You killed it! :hunter:Gotta question for you. Do you think there would be a significant difference between a 6" net pot and an 8" net pot? I have been sourcing different containers and I found these hopper bins at home depot. The only thing is the ridge in the middle would leave a gap between the net pot and the top of the lid. Curious to hear your thoughts.
