Gladta have yas back around Bro.....With the continuous top feed dribbling through the drip ring and slower recirculation of the buckets daisy-chained together really looks like a waterfarm setup without the venturi tubes on the outsides of the containers showin juice levels....

Or am I wrong....Regardless....Setup looks tight and you know the drill so take us ta school Brozini...so ....

Wishin bigger and better thangs for Aero weed doughnuts......

Peace...DHF....:ying:.....

Ya know, you are right, my system wound up alot like a waterfarm but I didn't plan it that way... I'm sure there are minor differences, the reason I switched to drip rings is because I noticed much stronger growth in the bucket half way through the chain I was feeding last time.

I thought feeding all of the buckets would be an improvement this round and I didn't have to step up the feed pump much and heat up the water..

Thanks for tagging along...

HGO, when is kick off? good question, I'm off to a slow start sorting clones and such, trying to pick strains that are compatible and similar in size, think I'm going to need a couple more and I'm hunting them down now. I should be starting within a week..

I have to upgrade all of the drains as expected, they barely keep up.. got one of those clay pebbles stuck in there and had a lil flood last night...lol Going to move them all from 1/2 to 3/4 and I should have the clones sorted by then..

I made all my drain lines 1". They have a nice 1" tub drain that fits very well on my 5g buckets. They are $3.69 a piece I think.

Well done

Well done

I think I got everything but lets double check...

3/4" fittings? -...name brand?? (plumbing department I am guessing?)
1- 8w pump in reservoir feeding custom manifold...is for top feeding?
what pump is slowly moving the water?

bleach- ? spoons per gallon? how often?
bayer advanced pest products -Narnia?

did I miss any tricks...?...yoda

Hi Aero been sneaking around for a while here at ICM and followed ur previous grow from a-z as I will with this one.
Just ment to say kudos for ur last pull and g-luck with this round. And well tbh ur a big part of why I finally joined cause I might have some questions comming ur way in a few months regarding DWC - if u don´t mind that is.

Oh also since u gonna be tinkering at ur drains anyway - why not add some screen in front of each drain hole to prevent clogging?

keepem comming - subbed

Good news, looks like the grow is starting tonight! Someone gifted me a rack of clones and I picked up all the 3/4" fittings today to mod the drains.

I took the day off to fit the new drains and select the clones..

Here are the choices:

LA Confidential
Hindu Kush X Blueberry
Romulan
Valley OG
Romulan Blueberry (different cut than last run)

I need to select 6 of these because the two Magenta99 ladies already claimed seats in this run..

Sounds like everything is coming together!

I've run the same cut of LA Confidential on & off for 6 years now. She doesn't do well in multi-strain grows because she vegges so slowly. She's the most unique ganj I've ever grow in terms of vegging needs and growth patterns. She'll need 3-4 months of veg time to finish at a similar size to the others, assuming you're still planning on giving them about 2 months of veg time. My buddies & I call her "The Great Oak Tree" because she vegges so slowly and the branches are so stiff & hard to train. Great product though. Just thought you should know in case you haven't run LAC before.

After watching your last grow I built myself a "mini-donut". . . can't wait to see another run!

Whatever you do, try to keep the strain that is most similar to the Magenta 99. We run similar systems, and I love not having to worry about the different needs etc... Imagine what you woulda pulled on that first run mono-cropped!
