can you elaborate on your rez setup? confused why so many outlets

Click to expand...

Hello. I run a vertical scrog and have 3 plants per room with 1 1000w bare bulb. There is a plant on the left, right, and back wall. The rez sits in the middle and connects to all three plants. The 4th outlet is the one I use to drain the system with. It has made my life easier by cutting down on the time it takes to change the water on the system which I do weekly, as well as only needs to be topped off once a week. Could probably use topped off twice a week but man life is hectic right now.

Also I have 5 flower boxes so one for each box. Saves me at least 1.5hrs a week

I don't recirculate so I just have an air stone in each bucket including the Rez. I use 8" air stones n they make a nice heavy "boil".

I haven't smoked the cherry pie yet but it smells more dank than the forum. They both have rock hard buds but the cherry yields better.

You could set yourself up with a pump from an online aquarium supply house. The have auto top off gear that works great for hydro. Replenishes fresh water overtime it drops below your set level. Takes all the work and worry out of it.

So I thought I killed plants for the first time ever! Not veggers either, I'm talking 30 days in. Not sure how I missed it. I harvested last weekend and flipped some plants then watered the other 4 flowering boxes. The next day I hit the veg room. Then thanksgiving I never made it down stairs. Friday I had sick kids n was just to busy to check on things. Saturday I went down n my heart sunk. I had only watered 3 of the 4 rooms. My room 30 days in was bone dry! I mean plants laying over. The ole 1000w was just blasting away. I unplugged the light and Filled them up asap. There were 3 trees a gg4 a valley ghash and a cherry pie. The gg4 is struggling the valley ghash popped right back and the cherry pie popped back for the most part. I felt like such an idiot n I hate even sharing the story. I did put a little dawn in the gg4 this morning as a wetting agent. It still looks sad.

Hate to throw a like on that, but you know what I meant. We all fuck up from time to time. I'm sure they'll turn around for you, and I hope you and the family are feeling better bud.

I've had my fair share of F ups too now I try to spend atleast 10 to 15 minutes in the grow looking around everyday I find days when I think there's nothing to do I end up down there longer than expected.

Glue is the first two pics. Then valley ghash tough ass, then cherry pie. Glue may not make it. Valley for sure will. They are all hooked to the same Rez so they all ran dry the same time.

When this happens, SPRAY with water as soon as possible. The plants will recover faster as water will be absorbed into the extremities faster. LPR, Loran

Silver lining = Did you see how perfect the glue was scrogged in. She was about to throw down some weight. Lol. 30 day buds go straight to the trash. Grrrr. I also thanked my lucky stars that I Harvey every two weeks. I really truly appreciate everyone's support. I have learned from this mistake!!!
