Thanks TK, Good to know thank you for the input, I was just trying to save the chiller from running nut solution through it maybe the lifespan would last. You don't think I'll need it to keep 50 gal res at temp? Or as it drip feeds in it will naturally reflect the systems temp? pump I have for 1/10 chiller is a 550 gph, think it might be a bit overkill I\\had initially intended that for the 50 gal res.
I would consider going to a 1/4 hp chiller. the 1/10 will struggle in warmer temps.Also if you can put air pump, chiller, ballast outside of room to help control room temperature.
small formality with chiller..Largest inlet and outlet barb for chiller is 3/4"... Should I just use a 3/4"hose to compensate? My hoses are all 1"View attachment 534206
Sorry..full tilt is usually about week 3 or 4 in flower till the end...my 8 site setups would drink about 400 gallons a week..I set the drum up on something and let it gravity feed into the epicenter
excellent idea thank you, and it's good advice, any issues with mold/mildew?
it's an 8 gal 6xl. Thanks for the heads up just finished measuring out the 60 gal res, how much were they taking in the beginning? dont want to waste nutes on unnecessary top off. What line are you running? I'm thinking about running the a and b for current culture then swicthing to mills
If you have the space move chiller and air pump outside your room. Both add heat. It will help in keeping room temps down,small formality with chiller..Largest inlet and outlet barb for chiller is 3/4"... Should I just use a 3/4"hose to compensate? My hoses are all 1"View attachment 534206
I hope your still around brother... I might need to pick yopur brain a lil.. Ive been growing for ove a year in a 8 bucket waterfarm, but today I bought ma a uc6...I do everything in rockwool...pop seeds, clone in 1.5" x 1.5" cubes and early veg in 4" x 4" cubes
So how did things turn out bro? I just bought me one today and im eager to learn as much as I can..makes sense that's been my only concern for the most part. Any particular strain you're doing this round? I like H &G for coco perlite it's done phenomenal in the past. How long do you like to veg for? I've heard it's much quicker
For sure brother! I would be more than happy to set my ass down and and listen to ALL of the advice you have.@EventHorizan If you look at their website they have specific recommendations on water level when using rockwool.. For early veg it says to keep the water 1/4" below planting deck with rockwool vs bare root you want the water directly under the root crown so basically at the planting deck. They also just added the note about at around week 2 of veg you can lower the water level to 1/4" below the net pot (if there is enough lateral root growth out of the net pot..)
About to be on my second run with my UC 6 site system and this time i went with seeds instead of clones.. I germ'd the seeds and put them in my turbo cloner and it worked out great! Had a couple little road bumps but in the future i think it will be super easy cause i have it way more dialed in. If you want i can post pics of how i got them in the cloner and their current status..
When I asked him about his rockwool, I was meaning when he veg it before transplant to UC.@EventHorizan If you look at their website they have specific recommendations on water level when using rockwool..
