Here are some photo's, Thinking these have been vegged to long now.

Will flip them on Friday and add another light if I can, there is space in there if I tank out the tank might put that down stairs and then run it from there up into the room.

What do people think? Light green will put the EC up a 0.2 when i flip at the moment they are getting 1.6ec PH 5.5/6.0 Letting it drift

These plant's are filling out the space very nice DTW Coco rocks Will get you some photo's tomorrow for you people

Looking at getting this other room sorted, Also looking at setting up my own feed system where i can do it all from my phone,

Refill tank, empty it, add nutrients, change feed setting's etc... got the box I will use and it can turn a pump on for 0.5sec so this will work fine. Cost only £15.99, Full cost for this system no more than £200

This is it,

Can use this to control 4 things upto 10a, 2,000watts I wouldn't run light's are anything that heavy but it's perfect for flood and drain, dripper, water mixing, fill tanks you can do all this from your phone from anywhere, only need it to be connected to internet and it's all good.

I heard good things about those. It's a shame that my smartphone is the least reliable device I own. I believe once you set a program it doesn't need internet, not sure there.

Yes once setup it will continue to run. I live those sonoff devices. I use those as well as the TH (temp/humidity) sensors.

Yeah, I'm going to put this to the test to make sure that works just in case the internet drops out

It's pretty cool can fill tanks up before i even come to the location,

I'm in the process of making my own Flood and drain system where i flood the bucket and run it to waste using my own salt's, Will be with rockwool croutons

Flood > Drain to waste > Rest tank and start again in 2/3 days.

Will start to feed the plants more now, I think there are 2 plants that are getting under water so will start getting more feed in the room now.

5 weeks and 3 days from seed, I've got a VEG tent at this location now so will keep my veg times down

What i like about this is most of the plants are the same height, just a few of slightly bigger.

We will setup a new tank Saturday and flip.
EC 1.4, PH 5.5/6

My temps are 27/28c day night no less than 19c, RH 39/41 Light on / Light off 50/60RH

To be honest I wish i had setup the drain to waste system to deal with the drain as it's left on the floor, Roots are now at the bottom of the plants and they are getting in the run off.

So will deal with that tomorrow but on the other hand with the run off being on the bottom i don't need to run my humidify so cheaper on the electric.

We are thinking put in the DTW system for the flowering do we don't cause to high RH in the flowering stage.

So packed :)

It is packed mate think this will effect the final yield at the moment. I'm close to adding another light and pulling the tank out and putting that down stairs.

Not sure add an extra light in that room is worth it tho mate as i would be taking the light away from the vegging area. that cut's my times down from 5 weeks veg to 2 weeks if that.
