Low budget build 0$ to this point. Don’t laugh too hard at my measuring system, it will take a bucket with a lid and have a little extra to move. Finish it up, next cool day

Replaced the center brace with 3 “runners” for the buckets to slid on. This whole project is to get those runners in. I’ve dumped 2 buckets of Hydroton in the last few months. That really really sucks to clean up

Moved the tray of clones over to veg. Where they should be according to nature, look at the 2nd and 3rd pic. That branch never gets direct light, none do except where the plant is topped or they outgrow the shade leaf above it. Anyways, fun playing with the plants

Rock cart is a wrap. Holds 18 5 gallon buckets. With the bottom runners and removable sides installed this should keep things fairly secure

Walked into my flower room yesterDay to feed, look at my driver, cranked 20% higher and no clue why, got some stress on a few but I think it’ll be gravy. Gonna have to come up with a name for the full gas mowie cross.

Weekly- dropping to 600’s for flower has made the grow room a pleasant place to be on these stupid hot humid days, but I don’t think the flowers like them as much as I do.

The wife’s



Cloner- put those 3 in the tray so I could see roots easier and get the lights going sooner. I didn’t get the answer I was looking for but I did learn that… if it ain’t broke don’t fix it. Tray clones are leaving




Veg- time to decide, Chemdog #4 or tootsie to flower. Leaning towards Chemdog #4


Oreoz- 21 days flower





Apple Fritter- 49 days flower

Chemdog #4 is the current line all others are compared to around here. Not the easiest to grow but dang it’s worth it!

Nature’s in full swing outdoors which means more guests in the grow room. I went with GrowSafe this spray, try to switch each spray with Dr Zyme. GrowSafe is awesome but it does leave a residue on the leaves. When it dries there’s a collect of oils at leaf tip that will damage the leaves long term. Reprimed the sprayer with bottled water and rinsed just before it dries since it kills on contact.

Out came the clones are 8 days except for tootsie which is 2 days cut. Tootsie got covered and so did one of the Chemdog #4 cuts. Strong in flower doesn’t mean strong in veg lights on for the first time

For me it was the other way around! : ) the raskals took it like a champ in vege and towards the flip started not liking the heavier light load or at least this is my thought. They also could have just grown up into the light and liked that

I’m digging your applicator! I would imagine it gets the job done pretty well :)

So far it runs about 90% after a couple years. This floods 12 times a day which I learned is way too much water for rock wool. 1 casualty out of 12 so far this run. You can do everything you know but still get this
