- Thread starter Thread starter gottt it
- Start date Start date
cant wait for them pics this has to be one of if no the best hydro grow i have ever seen!
wow... long thread to read... you've definitely gottt it good man... loving the k.i.s.s.(keep it simple stupid) approach as well... as far as the PM goes i've found that a combo of zone/penetrator by dutchmaster works great for killing and controlling PM during flower... it'll color the pistils but won't effect the smoke so make sure you keep track of weeks not color if you go that route.... personally i'd take a big garbage bag.. put it over that yellow plant... chop the base and be done with it... i don't like sick plants in my room... your room is only as strong as the plant with the weakest immune system... also if the pm gets in the buds you can use cold water extraction to make hash that won't get you sick.
if you try co2 again you really have to seal the room... duct tape around the glass on the hoods would probably make a big difference unless they're really new hoods... with that many lights hooked up to such a big fan they're probably sucking a good deal of air out of the room as well... probably would pick up the co2 before it got down to the canopy if they were on blast
anyways awsome grow man.... you must have the mother of all compost piles
opt1c

nice grow man.
some cannasuers hate thoes things, they molest the hell out of the buds, cut all the crystals off, and make them look worked, and shitty.
god i hope you smash that thing with a sledge. or return it. i could buy a car for the price they sell thoes POS's for.

NICE!!!
Gottt it,
I can't remember what size buckets you said that you were using and I'm to damn lazy to read all 17 pages again. About how much hydroton do you need for all those buckets...I'm guessing 8 to 10 50L bags. Also, are your buckets double stacked w/ holes in the top buckets for drainage? How much water does it take to flood all those buckets?
One more thing...can I trouble you for some detailed pics of your res and controller and the connections between the bucket and lines?
Any info and pics of the actual system would be great (not that I don't like drooling over your budshots). Sorry about all the questions...
I would burn one with you as payment for this info but you know how it is...being all anonymous and stuff LOL.

that bubba looks like grandaddy or something. BOMB job though bro, PEACE!
Thanks man. I'd like to see the inside of your controller (like where the floats are and stuff) and then maybe a close up pic of how your lines are attached to the bucket itself (grommets or bulkheads w/ gaskets or what).
I'm gonna be doing a 40 to 65 4 gallon buckets system and was curious as to how much hydroton I would need (only gonna fill it to maybe 3 gal). I'm still trying to figure out how much water / how big of a res I need for 65 buckets. I was freaked at my first calculations but soon realized that those grow rocks will displace alot of water so I won't need nearly as much as I first thought.
Was first gonna go with DWC setup but I don't have the $$$ for chillers, large air pumps and extra R/O system. Saw your setup and totally revamped my plan (AGAIN).

gott it how exactly did you clean your 7 bags of hydroton, or did you just use it out the bag?

I filled up each bucket and then just ran the shower on the bucket for a few minutes until the bucket didnt have any dirty ass water coming out anymore .. it was a long process ... took a couple hours i think .. im trying to figure out a new way for sure
