Well farmers have not been on here much lately but just had to let everyone know that Alice D and I got our UC Pro last week and we will be back here soon to show everyone how it goes. Just got it but very excited and anxious to see how it goes. Plus I miss visiting with the farmers so we will be chatting soon.

That's sideways isn't it. Well hell I guess I will take another pic here shortly and sit down at the computer and do this.

Sorry about the tease on the UC PRO system,were super swamped with court stuff and Amber is going to pop anyday now. But I will say this. I'm very impressed with the dedication Daniel & Current Culture h2o have shown in producing another game changing RDWC system to tailor to customers that want to see 3+ per module. Can't say yet but I'm thinking 5 per module is doable. I'm really impressed with the quality of the system. You can easily see they will hold up outdoors. IMO this system would be epic in a forever flowering Northern Latitude greenhouse. I think this will be the future of indoor growing. Especially since pg&e is taxing high usage customers the way they are. The FFGH's are a whole different thread because they are using innovation of their own creating the worlds best greenhouses but I want to ensure anyone thinking about a pro system won't be disappointed.
Cch2o has added a new air system to the pro system that consist of micro pore hose w/ quick connectors that come boneless so we just add 1 &1/2" PVC to our air pump of our choice or if your using 15+ modules then they have incorporated a blower to supply higher dissolved oxygen levels. The micropore hose is large enough to supply aeration to each module so there are no stagnate areas of these modules. I like how they have the ability to veg in a UC 8 or 13 gallon system and be able to just pull the whole lid,net pot,plant and move into it's 35 gallon pro home. I think yields will be largest seen out of any system (home made or commercial) but only time will tell. So far as I can tell there were no shortcuts taken when they designed this system. But this is still all hearsay. I can't wait to see the quality of the medicine this system produces. There are also 3 or 4 different lids that can be used on the pro module so if a sea of green is wanted it's workable. I'm pretty sure there are single,double,quad & 8 hole lids so undrilled modules can be used as bubble trays. Enough talk here are some pics. If I'm still free after 2maro I'll be working on starting a grow log. If not it won't be long. Can't keep a good man down for to long.

What are your initial impressions on the aqua pore air diffusers. You know how we toss air stones out after each crop, how long do you think those diffusers would last?

I'm super interested to see how the pro's go. I almost waited for them in my current build, but ended up going with 13's. Maybe next building I'll do the pro's. Totally agree with you on the forever flowering greenhouse with pro's. Thats the future in some areas.

With the pros lid design if you want to you can upgrade to the pro system and veg in the old system when it's time to go to pro system to flower you just take the lid off and move em over. The 13 lids will fit right on the pro system lid. I personally really like this feature especially considering the veg times of these beasts.

Hope all 3 of you are home, safe and sound very soon!

Really impressive and i know you two are the ones to grow and show us all just what this monster of a setup can do,.......and i wnt to know what kind of timeline the veg is on, how big you want them at the switch and how big you think they will finish!!!!

Oh yeah, and you go girl, don't count on having the 20 days, give yourself a mental zone free of worry and enjoy your new family!!

I ran these when I ran UCs. They provide a ton of DO and kept each module looking like a little hot tub. 11 of the smaller ones in the 8 gals, run off a Hi-Blow 200. As long as you don't have any pythium issues, reusing them should be alright as long as they're cleaned. The manufacturer recommends soaking them in muriatic acid to clean them. Roots grow into them and around them as well bc they're porous. If they weren't so expensive I'd be more open to just replacing them, but I guess a room of UC Pros might afford the grower some leeway for new air stones each run. :)

Well actually I usually use sweet water glass air diffusers so I usually soak them between runs and reuse. I've used the same stones for about 5-6 runs. I don't think the micro pore hose would be that much to replace but I haven't added up exactly how much I'll need and how much it will cost but I did see rolls of the micro pore hose at lowes so as long as we kept all the fittings and hardware shouldn't be to bad. But I can say the micro pore hose is very nice like someone said it's a little spa seems like it should hold up at least a few runs but I'm not sure yet. I'll keep you posted as runs finish up.

I think since their modules are so wide should get really nice growth but looking like 3 weeks in 8 gallon modules then another 3 weeks once in the pro system with 70" centers with a custom cage around each one or a 6' tall piece of fence running the length of the room on every side of the modules would create walls of buds and maybe a horizontal trellis on the tops will create VW bug sized indoor plants with a lot of flowers.
Either that or a forever flower greenhouse with the 15' ceilings veg June and July flower aug & sept for massive trees.

What up alice?Fishings still ballistic down here!hows amber?did she pop yet?

You fish a couple times a week? Or how often you go out? I'd love to go out one last time before I'm down for 18 months. I only have 23 days though until lock down. But on the flip side yes we had a beautiful 6lb 14oz girl Lucy Sky. Amber is good even after a emergency c section so she is still recovering. But ya healthy little girl,feeling blessed!
