thats sick bro looks like your busting ass to get this done. One thing is if your going to veg in hydroton you might as well veg in the 10in net pots

the reason I dont veg directly into my netpots is I dont have the extra chiller to constant feed my girls, although you might not need to constant feed actually, could could probably turn the pump on for 15min and hour to keep them healthy

either way shit looks good bro

Thanks Dizzle you have helped me a lot thank you. So you think thing are looking Ok with the setup? Man there has been a lot of jobs coming my way but I just need to start one I have like 4 bids out. I need to get my chiller and my co2 and a dehum and that is it. I think my light will come in some time this week.I'm going to plumb the water to the RO filter tomorrow.

I did a PH check on my tap water and it is 8.5 so my plants outside have been getting that high ph water that sucks.

mrdizzle · Jun 29, 2010

I think everything looks great bro. you can adjust after your first harvest, I love this style set up, wall-o-weed

Looks good,

Dizzle is correct throw those coco pots into the 10" pots with 3 gallon buckets on the veg table...

Dont forget to put a pantyhose over the 4" return to catch any lose debris..

I'm about done with the room I need to get my co2 2 more fans and a dehuf. I will be runing house & garden and AN. I'm going to put the girls in the room tonight. So here is some photos.

One thing do you think I should put one 4x8 cage in the frount of the MPB ?

Great job bro,
The room looks excellent.
I really like all the plumbing being out of sight.
Gives it a really clean look.

I think thats a good idea, instead of making a circle for each plant, you will probably do better if you make a flat screen that runs in front of the buckets, one sheet of 4x8 concrete reinforcer and you should be good to go

Just a hint for when they grow too big anyway- any stalk that gets too close to the light, just bend it down. Snap it right over, and don't touch it again until harvest. I know it sounds brutal, but it beats taking scissors to it or having prematurely burnt weed. You'll need the cage for both training the plants and support. Dizzle covered training, but supporting a plant allows it to focus on producing yield instead of stick to hold itself up. Cage = more. You're room's as clean as any I've ever seen. Way to push the limits of the space.

Very nice room/build/set-up. Great to see all the suggestions rolling in, and better yet to see you implement them.

Only thing I haven't seen asked is regarding your check valve. Is it a spring or swing? I believe what is needed with a 1800 gph is a 1 1/4" swing valve. anything spring will impede water flow, and anything less than 1 1/4" swing will also impede water flow.

I can't tell if it is a swing or spring from looking, but it does look small. I just thought I would ask.

Thank you for taking the time to share.

T7rin thanks for the info I will up it to swing 1.1/4 it is3/4 now. I think it is a spring valve. I have some photos for you.

Do they have names?

JPLord01 · Jul 4, 2010

Yes BLUE DREAM thats there name. PPM is 620 PH is 5.9 temp is 81 hum 57.

another_sellout · Jul 4, 2010

They can't keep Blue Dream on the shelves in the dispensaries here in Colorado. Too much demand. Good call on a stoney high yielder!

thats a good point, changed my bypass to a T and a ball valve just after the check valve, that way when I drain I dont have to let it drain back thru the pump, it just flows into the res

Just to add here. If you have the manifold, take your chiller pump and connect to the intake.. It willempty the entire system to the bottom in 10-15 minutes.. (edit: I have a drain pump and you need to disconnect the main feed to the intake feed for the chiller pump. Sucks the system dry, but if you dont habe a drain pump or a drain line, it will overfill your res fast)

One other thing, you are using spring loaded check valves, which is going to take some oomph outta your pumps.

Looks good tho, got cages built yet?

(edit: missed you last post on the valves, n/m)

Time to replumb my setup I'm going to plum with 1" for my top feed and my rez2000 gph for the rez. For the top feed 1200gph. I will do a hard pipe for the plumbing. Good thing you people have done your home work. I have been going thrue all the stuff from LOST,
DIZZ,BOSSMAN and EASYP. I will be installing a 1" 1/4 swing valve. The babys are doing good I did a rez change this morning becouse the ppm was 620 to high for the little ones
so I did half strength what H&G was recommending so the ppm is at 350 they are happy.
I got my cages today I will put them up when they go in to the MPBs. I had the light as high as it would go for the first 3 days but I brout it down some today. Should I kick on one more light on thurday this will be one week?

Are you dripping 24/7 in your veg setup... you running a chiller in veg.

looks nice and clean. Would love some details on your veg setup, love how they are already in their 10" baskets. Are the baskets elevated in anyway in your veg setup? How often are you watering?

JPLord01 · Jul 5, 2010

I don't have a chiller yet for my veg setup. The drip is runing 24/7 the water temp is at
70.8. I will get a chiller soon for my setup . For the chiller 1/10 hp for the rez it is 20 gl. For my big rez it is a 100 gl rez so I will have a 1/2hp chiller. The net pot are in a 2.5x5
table I'm using a small pond pump with 1/2 line at the end I bent the line over and put a zip ty on. I had the fan on the floor but I moved it and put it in the table right under the
light. I have a air stone in the rez as well. The light are on for 18 hr from 3pm to 9am.

JPLord01 · Jul 6, 2010

I got the top feed done with 1" hard pipe and most of the bottom feed done. Got a 1/10 hp chiller today. What temp do you like your rez at?
