Pretty cool.
I run a UC as well with dm gold. I havent used the add.27 yet but I use the zone only at 1/2 tsp per gallon every 2 weeks. Watch your veg time in this sucker because the roots get big fast. Mine have gotten so big they totally filled the 8 gal buckets and cch2o donated me the all new 13 gal buckets to help the roots. I am getting away with not flushing for 3-3 1/2 weeks with no ill effects. The dm gold is the shit your gonna love it in the uc.
Heres the pks 28 days 12/12 befor I switched to the 13 gallons


Check out my current grow in my sig you can see em from day 1 of veg
Good luck

wow those look amazing! do you think the roots could get so big they would end up clogging up the pvc tubes and stop the water flow?

it must have been a pain in the ass switching to the 13 gallon buckets mid grow

I dont think they were clogging at all. All ya have to do is make sure your mag pump is pumping alot of water out then you know you dont have a clog.
Yes it was a total mess broken branches and plants wanting to fall over a bunch of shit but they do seem very happy and Im sure it was worth it. Next grow Im gonna veg in a tent with the 8 gal and then throw em in the 13s at 24".

Looking really nice. How much does the strain stretch and how many days flower? Very bushy and lush plants. The uc is the shit.

Nice setup!The job on the room looks good!
Im impressed with the whole UC thing and am pretty sure I'll be joining you and Big Green shortly.That is when I get the cash up to get one.Its quite the initial investment!

Talked to the rep at CC H20 and he says they're coming out with a 16XL very soon. He said it would have one controller unit for the whole system. Yeeehaw! Perfect for 4000 watts!

Id like to maybe see if it can be hot rodded a bit.Maybe wont even need it but we'll see.After I buy the first one I'll copy the design to the T and make my own using their buckets.It looks simple.

Tradin in the Aeroflo for the UC baby!

Are those the 13 gallon modules in the pics?
Ill be watching.

Grow on!
Herb

teresa, they're feminized seeds

big green, they stay pretty short, and it says 9-11 weeks flowering

herb green, thanks man, yea i have some debt to pay off after that bill lol, i would've ordered the 16xl but i only had enough room for the 12xl, and their the 8 gallon modules.
