Wow truly impressive TK. Do you expect two #'s per 1k or more? Do you run fans under the lights to cool them? I can't wait to see this one finish, I am present and taking notes!

Here is one of the new setups...Under current 12XXXL customised to run on 40" centers and veticle lighting...

Started with a standard Under Current 12XXL and then recut the 2" tubes between the buckets, bologna cut the ends at 36" point to point for 40" centers, remade the end manifold also to hit the 40" footprint.

fuckin awesome tex, i really dig what you got goin, everything looks super healthy and happy. i havent seen it covered in a thread yet, but what do you do for cooling? it looks like you have multiple setups in a large area, with lights everywhere, you gotta have a monster for an exhaust and a/c eh? very interested in how you keep everything cool.

Light movers in veg is one thing, works pretty good..light movers in flower is a crime, you just as well cut down 2 plants out 8 and throw them away because that is about how much yield loss you goin to see with the movers..

This is all your gear also Swerve...Chem Valley Kush, Larry, and SFV..I think there is an Alien Cheese and a C99 x Startrain in there as well
You can pretty much cut the tubes to any length between teh buckets and remake the manifolg to whatever you want also

Do you need to add a larger res to account for the increased volume needed after adding the longer piping or just add to the existing res on a more regular basis? Was just wondering if you'd noticed much of a difference on the water usage.

im interested in seeing how the 40' centers work out and the sfv og, my gut says your going to pick up some more 2'' pvc next run to make that 55-60'' centers, dont stop get it get it

with such spaced centers u think the 8gal buckets r enough or are you going to try some of those 13gal ones diy style?

looking good man; nice to see someone else rocking the under current properly

Nice setup Texas Kid those undercurrent setups are expensive no? i was thinking about doing a DWCsetup but instead of buying the setup already made which probably costs around 600-800$:wait get some plastic mop buckets lol them dwc tubs you have look alot like a mop bucket the net pots are like a squeegee for the mop just get some mop buckets ones that have the best type of squeegee [for the net pots] some 1-2inch dia tubin, a few pumps should be right it probably wouldn't look, work as good as the ready made undercurrent setups but i would do the job imho, for a fraction of the price what do you think Texas Kid??
