Well here we go new run, new genes, new system, same safe cab.
First i would like to thank Big Toke for his inspirational threads and clear detailed descriptions/instructions on the bio-bucket system, and Rez for getting these gene to me and the rest of the world.
Well sets start with the system. I went with the bio-buckets for the ease that they seem to offer in the fool proof department, they are supposed to be forgiving and fluxuations is a natural part of this system as it is a "active culture" in the water.
I know that you say that you should not use anything less than 5 gal buckets but hey adaptation is a part of nature So I needed to adapt for my situation.
So this is my 3x2 cab. I have the res sitting under the buckets and a 90cfm cpu fan blowing air in to the chamber it keep the ambient air in that part below 70 and so is the h2o with highs of 75ish.
I ran 1/2" feed lines to the bottom of the 3 gal buckets with 1.5" drains 1.5 in from top of bucket. I did not mount the 6" baskets under the lid as at the time i needed full access to the basket as i do not veg in my cab so i needed to be able to put fully veged plants in to the system.
The drain lines feed to a 3" main drain (he said main drain...) that then dumps to the res below. It has about 8-10+ in of drop and plenty of force to churn the water to acceptable levels of DO.
I have a 3/4" intake to the external pump. I forget what the gph are but it was an upgrade from my 300+ so i think i got at least 650gph. I defanatly gets the water flowing!
The roots are already showing great growth and it has only been about a week. I am loving this new system. Thank you Big-Toke
So on with the show
Top view of the Apollos mists I am running 4 from seed and looking for sex now. they are about 4 weeks old and in the 1st week of flower. I took 2 clones from each and those are rooted and doing fine just awaiting for a place for the lucky ladies with certain doom for all males.
these are the seedlings
i did not top this one it gust grew like that.
tight spacing this is my favorite.#2
and the rest
#4
#3
#1
And with that I say thank you Rez for your work and these mean green genes
I'll be updating every other week or so. I hope you enjoy the show
