Thanks man
I'll be happy as hell if I hit 2# per light but I am wishful thinking. I have the strain the rig and the nutes that can get the job done. Now alls I have to do unhook everything plug in new pipes and buckets and its on.
Im not looking forward to the work its gonna take to do this but its going to be worth it. The supply ships out Mon curteous of cch2o

Sounds super sweet are the 13's the same lid as the 8's? I'd love to use 10" net pots as I did in my 5gal buckets. With a longer set up and 62.5% more container space you'll easily kill 1gpw (2.24lbs) and may get to three!

So where is the pick of the black PK?

Peace, :joint:

Ah shit I missed the update and didnt get the dark purple pics. I got to drunk saturday and fucked up all my plans but Im back on track and feeling good.
Bumped the uc to 1300 ppm ph 5.5 and the tray is at 1300 ppm and ph 5.8.
The tray is in need of a flush Im gonna hit it with clearx at the end of the week.
My new uc buckets are on there way and I'll be hooking them up Friday or Saturday I really wish I could of gotten them 3 weeks ago but I still think they can benefit from the upgrade.
Enough talk lets see some pics.

They are looking great. Is it my imagination or are the buds in the UC way huger than those in the tray?

No its not your imagination they are bigger in the uc. The tray only has gotten 1 boost of booster Ive been slacking from here on out everything is going to be getting what they need every feeding.
Yo HS you think the 13 gal buckets are better this grow or do ya think Im to late.

Did ya notice the top growth on the PK?? the PK doesn't seem to go down the main-shoot as much as other strains do.. but man is it ever killer..

I'm doing a run with both Northern Lights and PK this time... so people can see the main plant differences & characteristics..

ill have some new photos up tonight..

here's the new gravy!

Just a few more day and the ladies will be floating around in some brand new UC 13 gallon buckets. Complements of cch2o they will also be gifting me the pvc to extend them to 40" center. Im trying to arrange to setup the little 8 gal buckets in a tent under some t5s for veg to have some nice size plants ready for the big rig come chop.
Im not looking forward to the work Im going to have to put in on getting these setup but it will be all worth it.
More pics soon

get it!!

I am very excited to see the results.. right now i run 8 600s on ebb n flow trays and am debating on making the plunge into 2 16 site UCs... possibly with 13 gal tubs..

all i want to be able to do is get 1lb per 600, which is what im hitting now in EF, except i have too many plants!!

great show

Welcome flojo and darwinsbulldog
flojo 1# per 600 is easy if you put em in this rig you shouldnt have a problem hitting 1.5#.
bullgog you'll have to search in the hydro section someone on there has all the info you need or else ya just skip the bullshit and buy one its a pretty penny but 1 bucket will pay for the entire system.

Update 30 days 12/12

Update 30 days 12/12

Holy shit that waas a shit ton of work. It took me 4 hrs to get r done. Plus Im covered in sticky from head to toe. These new 13 gal buckets are huge I wish I could of had em in there when I flipped the light.
CCH2O is so cool the sent me buckets lids hoses air stones piping and the big ass pond diffuser just because my girls were cramped up in the 8 gal buckets. I cant say enough good about the guys but they kick ass.
I have the nutes at 1300 ppm ph 5.6.
Here some photos

A couple single plant shots these things are 48" tall and over 36" wide


Some jungle shots


The tray


The new rig


Im pretty sure there gonna love these new buckets Im pretty sure Im gonna setup the 8xl 8 gal for veg and use these monster 13 gal for bloom in 2 different rooms.
Let me know what ya all think

i think the 13 gal buckets are the key... all of the UC grows I have seen, the roots fill the 8 gallons too easily.. those 13s will give that extra room, and extra water capacity to keep the ph and ppm stable longer, and give the roots that bit extra to sprawl
