Looks fantastic!, that room looks like it's designed nicely. Let's see what it can produce! :cool:

Looks sweet! Very similar to my DIY UC, are those 14 gallon? Might want to wrap those grow modules with some refletix, or some type of material to keep the light out. Not to mention it also helps to wrap the PVC pipe, helps with reducing algae and water temperature. Pullin up a chair for sure

spacing?

 

[sinilluminati]

@nwelite89 yes they are the 14 gallons. i put white caps on top but will wrap the rest soon. @ capulator they are 35 left to right and top to bottom is 25 on center tried to do 40's but no room in this room for that spacing option

for water temp control i got 2 1/4 hr power active aqua chiller set to 68 degrees and keeps it roughly at that. some times it gets up to 70 at peak of day

 

[sinilluminati]

this is what i have done

 

[NWElite89]

Sweet! love the setup. You should do well, looks like a recipe for success. What nutrient line you using? strength?

 

[sinilluminati]

5 to 6 ml/gal H@G with 2to4 cal mag, 1 gm/gal espon for res one ( got this off desert squirrel post) and then 2 is full line of dutch master at 1/4 strength im going to try to keep my ppm at 250 and do a 20% increase every week. 5.6 to 6.2 for ph allowing swing. going for a sterile res. but not sure if i leave out h202 29% out at this stage

 

[NWElite89]

Perfect, I'm learning now with H/G that "less is more" Cant wait to see the yield difference. What strain(s) are you running?

 

[sinilluminati]

durban poison, sinsi star, querkel , train wreak and channel +

 

[NWElite89]

Those are some killer strains! Im working on my UC with multi-strain as first time as well. Can ya give us some root porn?

nice setup sin.. is that in a tent?? if so what size?? really diggin the setup though i have a 10 bucket DIY UC myself and built a 8 site for a friend.. Also are you running roots excel?? if not you might want to run DM zone or aquashield... Personally i just made the switch fro Dutch master a+b to cultured solutions.. I had amazing results with DM though, i just wanted to try something new..

 

[sinilluminati]

home made tent used tpo roofing material stronger the the black and white plastic and 10 time more reflective. no root excel doing sterile rezz. yes im running zone with the dutch master line with the h&g i just use h202 , cal mag, Epson salt, got this of desert squirrels form thought i should try 2 different styles.I have heard that cs is the shit and on my next run i will defiantly run there full line.

well i wrapped the totes and pipe with some stuff for homes. plants kinda stalled out on me due to root rot (i think), also had all 1000 watt light going the first 2 weeks of veg found out that was a mistake. and now trying to get the plant back. I order some physan-20 to help with what ever bacteria is growing. im running 3 ml/gal of h202 and will let it run for 24 then drain and run again on 3rd day will try only run dm zone hope this help. Any suggestions?

Buckets look great wrapped! I had the same problem with my setup, and had to go back through everything and wrap and then I decided drain my setup. Root Rot can be a killer, I drained m system completely, and vacuumed out all the water, and refilled with with 1/4 strength nutes, I believe my ppm was 230 or so, and the plants have been loving it. I have been you using Hygrozyme for 2 runs, and it seems to help out in a big way with the bacteria. I think within a couple of days of this you should see improvement. Keep us updated,

I'm kind of usin it like that in other setups besides UC's

 

[sinilluminati]

Does I work well with soil? I run a soil set also
