Ok time for an update. This week is going to be ALOT of work for me. I want to expand to 4000watts, and spread them out in a area twice as big.
Im battling a small collony of spidermites, and am bombed them again today.
To top it all off, we got our first hard rain of the year, and im already leaking, got it temp fixed untill i can do more.
Heres pics of about 28days flower. I am told the strain is g-13(just confirmed) and one is trainwreck
Heres is a nice structure shot of a bud
The trainwreck is so nice....
Purple undersides
The g-13
Tight sqeeze in there
There is somone in that hat???

I dont think it matters, the roots in the rockwool arent reallt even roots that ppl imagine. Its more just an extended peice of the stock. If i unburry the hydroton, the roots are as thick as a quarter and green.
"The roots are as thick as a Quater and Green" mate.... if your roots are green then you have serious problems...
Algee will stunt plant growth and limit uptake. it also steal O2 from the plants...

Its not green like you are thinking obviously.... It is the same texture/color as the stock of the plant. The only algea in the system is on top of the rockwool, and the rockwool hasnt had water in 2 months, its dry as can be. The actual roots your thinking of(thin white) are deeper in the bucket, not where it is dry most of the time, on the top two inches of the hydroton.
I dont know if youve ever grown hydro, but the roots can get very thick, and no, the green roots have no algea on them. They are just extremely thick taproots.

The tight sqeeze pic, my shirt is being poofed up a little from the squirel cage blower on the ground, that explains the boobs.
Ive expanded today. I tore down my 5x8x8 polytarp room. I moved all the plants into the larger area of the bunker. They are in a area twice as big, with twice as much light, but still completly fill the area, especially after a good training. I have 3 HPS and 1 MH. 2 are in the cooltubes, and the other 2 are in 4foot parabolic reflectors.
Also an 8-inch fan is being intoduced.
Im not sure if i can use the 8-inch like hoped, i have a 50lb. carbon scrubber with a 6"-450 cfm fan on it, and wanted to use the 8-inch instead. Im not sure if it will allow successfull odor removal with the extra cfm's it moves. Lights are off now, will try to get some pics tommorow, my camera died.

Real ug growing.
BudBunker: May I take a slice of the picture titled: "This is the old trap door" on the first page? That door with two handles and the polyurethane foam coming under the sides just screams to be my avatar. I think I usually look like that when I'm drinking...

Yes, actually both of the door pictures have quite messed-up cartoonish faces. Suits with our current closet grow with a friend. Will put up a topic about it when I get my camera back on tommorrow-monday.
400W 2 x aquafarm, 2 x Bogglegum & 2 Jeti (ingemars punch x ice if I remember correctly?).
Thanks for the picture.

Meto. I cant wait till I can fund my next grow. 6000w Cooltubes, in a sealed room, Air conditioned, with C02 monitoring. The other smaller room(previous growroom) will become the "hotroom" The ballast wall and Air conditioner exhaust will be in here. I will have a large fan for exhausting this room, but it will be vented on a timer, and allow for the warm air to be used after lights out to warm the Sealed room. ei. a timer so that when lights off, a small fan sucks warm air from, the ballast/AC room, and blows into sealed room after lights out.
Also all 6 cooltubes will be in closed intake-exhaust lines, so thit air doesnt need carbon scrubbing, and removes most of the bulb heat. I mean closed as in the intake from the cooltubes will not be inside the sealed room.

Today was busy. I got a 40 pint de-humidifier. I had moved all the plants to the bigger side, but the plumbing was disconected till this morning.
I ran into a problem, it coulda been bad.
I did a test fill on all the buckets to check for leaks. Luckly i had laid a tarp down under them. The bunker is burried at an angle. The controller bucket is on the high end. I had my switches set for a perfect fill(on level ground) but the plants sit lower, probably 1/4"-1/2 inch, and they start overfilling. Luckly i cought the water before it emptied too much. I rang out 1/4 of a 5 gallon bucket, most of it pooled to the far end, wasnt too hard. I have a blower on the ground and its already all dry, but raised the humidity to 70%, soon the 4000watts should take down some, and the dehumidifier.
So i gotta figure the best way to either raise all my buckets, or lower the controller bucket about an inch. Prolly just cut squares of wood for each one.
Here is my new layout
