i love the setup really amazing i dont think ive come accross it yet but how much did it cost for everything to put this system you have together and hours putting it together from scratch or the peices together?
mmmm can size buds!! dam I see the chillers at my grow store $500-$1000! insane! how manny DWC buckets you gonna have to need 500GPH!!(im exagerating that)....gotta keep that water cold so it can hold more oxygen right?
Very, very nice room, Is it a basement or a spare room. I say that due to the down drain or sewer piping. Good Electrical work, your self?.. Look forward to more on this thread.
Blazeoneup, We have crossed paths before. Good job on your grow. We have similar systems. Mine is a 5 bucket re-circulating, aerated dwc. The 5th bucket acts as the control. Water is pumped from it to the grow buckets and returned via water fall. Have you had any problem with PH going down? All plants look great. Giant kolas like yours. Intense growth etc. But toward the last month of flower PH takes a dive every day. I use ph up to get back to 5.8 and then the next morning I'm back to 4.9 Everything else seems to be in check. Flora Nova nutes at 750 ppm RH at 40% Rez temp at 68 room temp at 75, no clogged air stones. Any ideas? I've calibrated meters. Used new meters I can change the rez out tonight adjust ph and by tomorrow morning I'll be back below 5 ??? Using ro water that is 25 ppm tds and 6.8 ph to start. Makes me crazy. If not for the PH I could leave the grow alone for 2 weeks. Thanks and again Very Nice Grow Brother
few Q's for ya ;
whats the power run ya , power here is alot
and, do you tie the strings to the stems or just to the bucket top , i was just think'n why you didn't choose to go horz. at diff, lvls and let them rest on the strings , sort of a SOG kinda way but with just a few nicely placed strigs attached to tac strips around the room
But what a BEA-utiful thing you've done . I started reading this thread today and after the first pics just wanted to post , looked down and seen 19 pages , Was like buying the whole season of your favorite show on dvd and watch'n it all one day .
so , all I could say was Holy Crap , till someone said just a few posts ago
hey blaze awesome grow thanks for sharing. My dwc is coming along nicely. I understand by what you meant by uneven canopy. I have 3 plants in the 4 foot range, and 3 in the 2 1/2 foot range. I made 1 bucket exstentions by using a 3 gallon bucket cutting the bottom out wraping it in foil tape putting it in the bucket placing the plant on top it raised it like a foot just hope it stable enough. I know you ran into the same problem in this grow what did you do. I got a digi camera now I could show you but I didn't want to put it on your thread without your permission. Well take it easy and nice job. SI
Electric is not to bad honestly below 250$ a month which is not high enough to attract unwanted attention .The strings are tied to the stems i just put the smallest plants closest to the lights.

Feel free to post pics lol i dont mind Dried nug pics comming soon
Oh final yeilds were just over 800 grams so did not quite hit the 2lb mark,But thats ok cause this was not exactly a picture perfect run,Had a few inspections and problems accur that should not have,That and ended up with only half a room full after pulling the males.None the less next run is from clone and should be nice.
hey blaze do you have that thread saved that showed ruff feeding scheduals for sativas/indicas ? ... and you used to post your food schedual for you current grows as you went along , if you have the info around i'd sure like to take a peak at it.
Thnx in advance i know your buisy man so if its a problem don't worry about it.
