I still have my UC EVO 12XL13 in the box. The room is about 3 weeks from being done. I kinda wish I wouldn't have gone with the UC, I should have just gone with a drip. I'm in this room for over $12k you need so much equipment for the UC it gets the cost up there!!! Don't get me wrong I'm totally stoked to try this system but I think it's a bit intimidating. Please keep me positive about the UC and post some pics of your UC show :movie
I am runnin 4 setups right now day in day out with killer success, I am in the process of adding a couple more to the game right now...I have pretty much had zero problems, other than not havin a drain in one of my rooms to service the setup.
Just pulled down one 8 site and it was killer, just over 4lbs with zero veg time in the system...got 2 six sites and another 10 site comin down this week as well
I have literally had zero issues in 40+ runs now in everything from 4 to 40 site setups in basements, warehouses, out buildings, and spare bedrooms...I also have moved every setup at least once and still no issues with leaking what so ever...KY jelly goes a long way..lol
If you have never grown hydro or are not that seasoned of a grower, it can be a tricky conversion, but that applies to all hydro..go knock out a DWC setup and be successfull right outta the box if you haven't ever grown in that way....stumble and fall and get back in it, thats the way it goes. The difference is that a DWC setup will only set you back $40 total, which makes it alot easier to stomach failure, probably don't even tell anybody or post when ya messed up, but mess up in a system that cost a few bucks and ya tell everyone from sea to shining sea that the system sucks...just human nature i guess.
Honestly, there are no more or less issues with the UC system than any other one out there, ever ran waterfarms or megafarms?..the cost of learning is just a little more because of the cost of the system is initially more and people seem to be stretching themselves financially thin to get these systems with the hope that it is the be all end all of dank production machine to solve their money woes with little effort or knowledge on their part...just doesn't work that way. This is not a plug and play system and the cost doesn't change that at all, you still gotta grow.
The best tool I have found so far is just paying attention to the plants and ridin the ph, thats it, not crazy nute schemes, not any root treatments, not different strains, I just follow the nute charts, keep my temps and ph in check..hell I didn't even change the res over between runs last time and didn't do a single complete nute change, just stacked the entire time and rode the ph, so i am well over 13 weeks and two runs now with not even a res change in a setup
I will say this though, if you can't figure out a DWC, Ebb&Flow, or waterfarm and have success with them...you should steer away from the UC system. If you just want to water some plants and watch them grow, stick with dirt.
