Howdy and thx for poppin in - this heres my first shot at running UC.

I got 8 wifi #3's I been hand watering for awhile now finally in the new spot, been in for 24 hours about now.

The new room has an air cooled closet for the ballasts and the future home of a chiller. I ran a 30 amp service with 2 outlets in there, one is on a water heater style timer other is always on. A 240 cfm fan keeps the ballasts cool to the touch and the cabinet itself is running in the mid 60's temp wise.

Room temps have been steady between 70-74 without air cooling the lights. This should get me through a run so I can get some fun tickets for more upgrades. (water chiller and maybe ac for summer)

Water temps have been between 67-69 so far, running ppms low since I just transplanted them in.

I will be using Dutch Masters Gold base nutes and zone. After lots of reading I decided to scrap using the silica and add .27 and "keep it simple stupid." (thx ucmenow - lol)

I am running the water level about an inch above the bottoms of the netpots. There were already plenty of roots on most of the babies when they went in, For good measure I am still hand top feeding 3x a day.

Lights are 2 agrosun warm spectrum halides. I prefer these to hps, though I may switch to the dual arc bulbs soon - or maybe even just run one and see if there is a noticeable difference.

Ventilation is an 8 inch 700 cfm can with huge mountain air overkill filter - been working for almost 2 years now - my next one will prolly be a phresh to give that brand a go and then Iwont need three people to get it hung.

just a few pix to start - cam battery was going dead and I really wanted to get the thread going.

mostly self explanatory on the shots -2 room angles - theres the ph and ppm meter (been holding steady for 24 hours) - an attempted shot at showing 2 super crop sites and an overhead of one of the bushier gals (I like big butts and I can not lie)

questions or comments welcome - lets have some fun and of course +rep for everyone!

enjoy - peace

all good - I love the gold references - thx for the good karma bro!

1000 watters i assume... and are they air cooled?

yep 2 x 1k - no air cooling - dont think it will be needed - I may just toss a 600 too in the middle when they get flowering good.

thx bro!

some super cropping for starters - all of them have had the main stems crunched twice already

I have some green garden trellis with small holes I was thinking of adding to the trellis frame right about where the the tops of the girls are now.

the top layer (not on yet) will have the regular white plastic trellis to hold the colas up.

Awesome man! Are you going to tie them down and/or spread them out? They seem to grow like the OG's, vertical. I think tieing them down would give them an excellent bushing out effect! Just my .02!

Keep up the great work dude I can't wait to see some of that WhiteFire!!

Ill tie them if the smaller mesh net dont work out like I want - bend them over and scrog them through the holes

I had some metal mesh I was going to use - its the lathe they put on your walls before they stucco them - but then it would be hard to lift the pots to check on the roots

was just looking last night to see where I could tie some shit down if I needed - I used to drill holes all around the lips of my white trays - but not sure I want to get a drill near my 1000 dollar UC just yet - lol

lol, ya! THAT! Let me know what you find works. I noticed Ben Derdundent used square cages and just spread them down and out and let them re-bush growing vertical..

Cant wait man!! I'll be stopppin by.

Sorry, couldn't resist. I looked at the title of your thread, and I immediately thought of the line from the movie Oh Brother Where Art Thou. Goofy, bizarre, funny movie. Just my type. Grow on my man!
