Bonzo – Thanks for dropping by and yes I well be doing the HDF & AK-47 grow/thread in the Bio-Buckets for my next grow, each Bio-System holds 18 Bio-Buckets each, so I will be grow out 18 HDF and 18 AK-47 can’t wait to see the yield on those!!

HOG – Thanks bro, I’ve been growing this particular strain for a year now, yes I have smoked it but just not to my liking it’s more of a low end THC Strain but always seems to have a very up-bet high, mostly good for those how are starting out it you know what I mine, my friends grow this outside every year they love it.

ntstephenson – Here ya goooo!!!
Thanks for the update on your grow Big Toke, how about some more root shots for the unbelievers?

Beneficial Bacterium & Algae Living To Gather
In Harmony?​

Ok friends BigToke is going to speck out about some of the tail tail signs of Beneficial Bacterium & Algae; I’ve come very close to going three months this round, and now that harvest is over I took a few pictures of the mane top of the lid, Oasis Cube and lava rocks, here is were you will see a lot of things going on in the Bio-Buckets; first off lets look at the Oasis Cubes, in most cases after about one month is gone by you will start to notice a bunch of white stuff gathering around the Oasis Cubes, that’s because they do not set down in or touch the water/nutrient solution and because of that they are exposed to open air and algae will forum, so the Beneficial Bacterium will move up through the roots and into the Oasis Cube and will attack the algae. Now let’s look at the lava rocks as well, some of the LR don’t fit down into the net-pot and they are exposed as well and the BB are not be able to reach them unless they are touching another rock that is weight, if that be the case then the BB will flow from rock to rock.

Now I wont to point out something to ya, even if the top layer of lava rocks is green with algae, if you have let your Bio-System set for two weeks in order to establish a huge colony of Beneficial Bacterium you have noting to worry about; I wont to show you something, I have posted several photo’s that you can clearly see the green/algae growing, but it CAN NOT spread down to your roots and give you root rot, in order to do that it would have to go through the BB and that just ant happening or at lest I never seen it happen, like I’ve said never had root rot and never lost a crop to it.

Let’s talk about salt deposits or salt build-ups, there are some folks how think that that white stuff that you see on the Cubes and rocks are nothing more than salt deposits, well if that be true then ALL of the rocks should have white stuff all over them and not just the one’s that have green algae? Now that’s something to thinks about isn’t it.

who took this shot?

who took this shot?



thats a neat trick! how'd ya get that shot?? timer? :biglaugh:

no, seriously nice show, BT. :whip:

when does the next class begin?
 
the real confusion for me is with the exit vavle being at the top how do you change the water out when there just babys? would a lot of the water in there just be old water like in the bottem? and do you run them nonestop? or just the pump goes off like every so often? I read what you said but im still confused on that... and you never use ph down or up? also (now ive posted in every one of your threads *sigh* sorry) and umm one more question why don't you just grow trees? like in DWC? it seems like it would be easy in this kinda system?! I Think I might do a copy of your system for my main grow then do a small 6 site one and just do tests.. I want to try a lot of differnt things out

Is it ok to veg my babys in a (sepret tank) of just water while im waiting for my bio buckets to grow enough benfiel microbes :) this sounds like a fish tank! hehe my buddy had let his Rocks sit in the water for along time before he could add fish
