FREEDOM for BONZ

[Guest]

Killer stuff Bonz.. Cool to see your thread a sticky A fun read and lot's of good stuff going on.

Your grow room looks very good too bro!

I have been hearing lot's or positive things about the ready-gro.. I wonder if it would do well in a mix with hydroton in a top feed bucket.. I may have to try that The guys at my local shop are raving about it and it looks like a lot of people here have nuthin but good things to say too.

Hope all is going great...

Well goddang im flattered BT, comin from you this is an honor. Dont know what to say except ive changed back to my super simple ebb & flow buckets but have not had the time to finnish it (i need 2 pieces of pvc) but ive had alot of family drama and that is really what had me slackin. So im gonna do a run of Female seeds Grapefriut, and ill get some pics up as soon as theres somethin to see.

Thanks again BT.


Howdy JH-OG, actually it has more in common with a kbs or freedom bucket setup.

thanks for droppin in and stick around and see the next chapter to this thread.

peace

Thanks GroNut,i know its alittle crazy but its allways fun. See thats why im goin back to e & f buckets: I KNOW HOW THEY WORK. Very simple, the plants pretty much grow themselves. There are so many variations out and if anyone can make em work its you bro, your a natural born grower, as well as REALLY knowin' your tech shit as well, are ya still runnin that TAG thingy, that was one of raddist things ive ever seen!

goddang good to hear from ya , ya GroNutter

talk to ya soon

hahaha Bonz.. you're givin me too much credit... I can screw things up like the best of em.. I've had both hands very full at work, 60 hour weeks so the TAG table is sitting idle for now since I have not had the time to do some changes. I'm almost done with a soil run (low maintenance) then I have some ideas for changing my flower room. I'm gonna try it sealed up and use a few atmosphere control things so I can set it and forget it type thing... should be fun. Once I get that stuff working well I'll screw around with some new rig ideas. I hear ya loud and clear on the easy to operate grow systems. Always good to take a step back once in a while, have a rest and watch the plants do their thing.

I'll be watchin bro...

 

[Bonzo]

Howdy GNut, watcha up to bro? Nice Avatar! Just think if someone actually painted there bug like that, i wonder how many people would notice? Is that really on a full size bug? Yeah, i need a little break and the ebb @ flow buckets just run themselves, keep the ph stable, keep the rez topped and set the timers and plug it in (not neccesarily in that order) But i think im gonna set up a couple of the freedom sorta thingies and continue foolin with em, till i get it right.


for now im goin with smaller 2 1/2 gallon buckets. I pianted the outer buckets black with that neato plastic paint, we'll see how it holds up.

how did your dirt run go? The farthest i wanna go with atmosphere control is an intake and an exhaust, but i cant wait to see watcha got cookin'

peace out for now

grapefruit - yummy yummy...!

Bonz, what did you do to treat your grow for the mites?

Looking forward to those GF girls!

 

[Bonzo]

Howdy friends, i just gotta let y'all know that not all Rubbermiad plastic storage bins (rezeviors to the DIYers) are created equally. Heres a tip if your lookin at one at say Target, hold it over your head up to the light and look for the ijection molding points, i think thats what they are, any way look fur thin spots, beleive me youll see'em if there there.

if you see these thin spots, keep looking for one that when held up to the light is consistent, you could save yourself alot of trouble in the future, i know cause i just dealt with a pretty bad leaking situation, it sucks. What really pisses me off is i did the light check with this particular rez and had 2 very disinct thin spots on the bottom and i ran it any way. Never again.

Called the hydro store about a perfect rez for my needs 35 gallon and low profile, they only wanted $ 85.00 for it. HHAAAAAAAAA fuck that i refuse to pay that much for a piece of molded plastic.

so i think im gonna do what i've seen alotta people do and make my own (prolly the same way GroNut made his aero box)

i will add the biulding of the rez to this thread when i can get her goin.

peace out

Howdy MGJ, you snuck one in while i was ranting Yummy indeed if i can ever get my system goin.

in veg i used AVID, pretty heavy stuff but you wont see a live mite anywhere, i would use this stuff outdoors if you can, and try not to get it on your bare skin. Ive got it on my bare skin and nothing happened but thats one of the warnings.

if i get those lil blood sucking fuckers in flower, i think im gonna go with PREDATOR mites. no harm too the plant whatsoever and supposedly they just keep eatin' the lil' fuckers till they and there eggs are all gone..........then they die too.

i hate mites MGJ

keep your intake filtered, if you are running an active fan intake.

sorry if i rambled, i just hate mites with a passion

peace my brotha, your a99 looks superb! JLP bred'em and you grew'em excellent job by the boyh a yas it dont get much better than that.

bONZ :friends:

 

[Mr GreenJeans]

Yeah Bonz - I b a sneeky fella...

Hear ya on the mites. Yeah on the filtered intake - I have 2 12x20 furnace filters - micropore and regular - stacked, passive intake. Figured it would help keep out mold spores and bugs. So far so good.

A99 - thanks man. Great genetics from JLP!!!

Hey Bonz..

I though my avatar was cool, just a painting on the front of a bug but I guess someone didn't dig it. It's a real car with an airbrushed hood...pretty good artwork I'd say.. hehe.

Soil run is cool. No probs at all... I got 2 more weeks Budz are lookin thick and tight..and not so much work- a good thing.

I see ya found the leak ... thanks for the tip on those bins cause I was looking at getting a taget rez soon.

 

[Bonzo]

howdy MGJ, glad your all filtered up!

great genetics, great growin bro


thanks for the link wags

nice addition to your avatar


hey GN, that was one of the coolest avatars ive seen, glad the soil is goin well, we like thick and tight.

i didnt find the leak i still dont know where th water came from?

any how ive changed things up AGAIN, gonna run six 3.5 gallon ebb and flow buckets, so im back to biulding a custom rez outa 3/4" ply and epoxy.

7 grapefriut popped and are in rapid rooters so i better get my ass in gear

peace my friends and sorry it took so long to reply, just not enough time in the day.

[Guest423]

good idea...i would definatly go with predator mites especailly for larger grows or big plants...you'll save alot of time and pain in the ass...predators will breed and over populate the mites and eat all of them and their eggs!!

i'll be taggin along for this one since i'm trying to decide if i want to convert from soil to aero, dwc, freedom/krusty buckets.....i got plenty of experience growing in soil but this would be my first attempt at any hydro/aero attempt. any ideas or tips for me? it's hard not to give it a shot after seeing all these monster yields from everyone....thanks

peace

 

[Bonzo]

yeah time2unite, im down with the predators, seems lime the way to go.

tips? ivr tried afew different methods and am returning to "ebb & flow" buckets. i grew some of the best pot in my life with a simple ebb & flow buckets with no meters no nothin', just a 400 watt light and 2, 3.5 gallon buckets.

then i went crazy buying meters and every additive i saw, the simple grow was much better, maybe im just a simple guy. also you have to figure laws in your location, what will keep you safest.

maintenence: i dont like high mantinence grows, some people do, they love tinkering with all the new high tech gadgets, more power to em and i love to see what they got goin on. its just not for me at the moment.

have a look around there are so many ways to grow and you can find them here at IC

Good luck to ya and com on back anytime if you have a Q or 2.

peace

bonz

 

[Guest423]

thanks bonzo, i'm into simple and basic things too, seems like dwc bubbler buckets kinda looks like the easiest to set up to me....u say you went and bought all the meters and stuff...did u need them? i'm lookin to maybe get a meter but i see alot of different styles...which one would i need the most? good luck on the ebb n flow!!

peace

 

[Bonzo]

Howdy timetounite, how are ya? this was that first grow, check it out , might give you some ideas. Actually it ws my second grow back from not growing my own for awhile.

hope it at least inspires you no matter what route you choose.

peace

Hey Bonz......................epcontainers.net has food grade used and new plastic barrels that Im sure would be better for yas than buildin rez outta plyweed............Im old head with the kbs thingy and been retired for awhile(grew so much I didnt know what to do withit........lol)plus all the bullshit drama goin on with the seedqueenscene has shut me down with too much to lose against the gain ,but Ive got years of AAA in the freezer so fuckit................Back to the barrels.........theyve gotem with or without spigots ,will add spigots if so desired (for multiple feed or drain lines etc....they have olive barrels with screwtops for 24.50 and big blue honkin barrels with sealed caps in the top for 17.50...........shippin might be a drawback ,but Ill bet my ass they dont cost no 85bucks like the dro stores(maybe 50,but your labor and materials would cost more than that Im almost positive)....................Anyways ,Im really interested in learnin more about your bucket setup and how it flows and such................Im lookin for sumthin simple for the future when I run low without all the bells and whistles that my kbs required(took up too much of my time)...........thanks dewd..........DHF...

 

[Guest]

I guess you need that rez sooner than I thought(just scrolled up from your yesterday post I didnt see)............Owell sorry for the ramblin dewd.....peace.........DHF.......

 

[Bonzo]

Howdy DEDHEDFRED, How are ya, i love epcontianers i have one of there 50 gallon giant screw top barrels with a spigot for my r/o unit, its bitchen, and like you said 24.50, how in the hell can you beat that. i also had'em stuff some 4 gollon buckets with lids, for a buck apiece at the same time! so cool man. i would like to pick your brain abit somtime in the future about kbs. the system im settin up is just like the one in the thread i posted above but will be six 3.5 galloners with the capability to add a 5 gallon bottom if i feel i need the root space.

sorry, enough rambling, puttin the system together tonite, will post pics, beleive me DED this is an extremely simple system to run, i love that.

peace out for now
