Awesome as always!
Need to build a few of your foggers, and was wondering where you got the heating element, and how many points it raised your RH.
It may have been mentioned, but don't have much time being on the home stretch on my build...
Simply freaking AWESOME! Simply Amazing. Can I move in with you? =) I have a ways to go to just be in your shadow. But I think I will start now. +1
Thanks for the great info and to allow us mere mortals to see (With a telescope) how far the bar has been raised.
I get the ultra sonic foggers from mainlandmart.com
I think I am going to use a 4 inch inline fan with a carbon filter to pull in air from the filter in the veg room and then blow it into the fogger then back into the veg room. The room is sealed and now it is blowing air from the outside. This will push smell outside the room. So the Filter humidifier combo will kill 2 birds with one stone. Keep the fan on low 24/7 for smell control and just switch the fogger with the humidity controller..
Ill get some pics up tomorow
In the big rooms I cant get humidity above 50% with the lights on, I might add some more foggers for the next round. I really want to see this system run at 65% for veg and the first 3 weeks of flower.
After reading Jackmayoffer's thread, I have decided to give the Aptus line a go in the getto garage..
Next run Ill be using
tote room:
H&G aqua flakes base
Full Aptus line without the enzymes
Ewc tea
Drip clean
Black Can room:
H&G Aqua flakes
Aptus Facilitor
Advanced Big Bud
Advanced Overdrive
drip clean
Ewc Tea
I misspoke in an earlier post, the garage is not quite complete yet, I still have the Getto cloning system to build in a month or so..
you are obviously a very capable builder/grower why are you using snake oil nutes? try a run with just a base and you will see your yeilds will be identical if not better

Thanks, I use hg base now with Od and bb at 1/2 strength, I think you are probably right about the snake oil stuff, lol. But, Im willing to give it a try once. see how it goes
Edit
Hmm I might not be using the aptus after all, seems they cause a biofilm build up if left to run in a res more than 3 days.. Waiting to get some feedback from aptus
Hey Ghetto, just read through almost all your posts and man , you sure have came quite away from the move, you find yourself busy 7 days a week with these gardens ? or they pretty much run themselves after the initial setup ?
You mentioned somewhere that you dont defoil, have you changed your thought process on this?
You change out a Res once a week or just add back? Perhaps you add back when its another week of BB or OD? and change out when the switch it made?
Anyhow man, many props, im takin notes...ill snap a picture for you(12k room), im in the transition to going UC, You've inspired alot of us!
I was also going to go the sterile route, seems you went that route and and still wound up mixing the Tea up, Looks like Heisenberg Tea, is a good basic Tea.

Its pretty much a full time job, however thier isnt any time clock to punch and I can still get away for a weekend with a little prep. I can ride any day I want, but I like my job so much many days I would rather work than ride, sounds weird

That is totally strain dependent, When I had short bushy plants I did a lot of clean out, but since I found this WIFI pheno, I do little more than cage training..

I change the water every 7-10 days depending how lazy i am. The ad backs are done by the dosers, they maintain a set ppm.. I usually wont go over 1.6 EC..

Thanks bro, Im glad to share what I have learned..

Yea I tried steril at first, but the slime got me good. I use pretty much the hiesenberg recipe. Using washed lavarock in the epicenters works great as a bio filter along with the tea. I havent disinfected any of my UC's in almost a year. I just scrub everything with a scotchbrite, drain, shopvac and refill. I rinse the lavarock with RO and reuse.
Man your attention to detail is inspiring. I have been lurking your threads for a long time soaking up as much as I can but I just can't hold back any longer man. My hat's off to you brotha, completely sick I can't wait to see you blow this shit the fuck up man. Transitions will definitely be smoother now and you can rest assured about not having that monkey on your shoulder transporting live plants. Idk about your nerves but mine would be shot doing that lol any ways man great work as usual man.
Thanks, transitions will definatly be smother now. Looks like my ideal flip size is about 48" so I have more room now to get them bigger before they go in the flower rooms.
I scratched the whole Aptus trial thing, seems that shit causes major biofilm issues in water culture. It has a pot life of no more then 3 days. I can only do water changes every week at the most.. oh well
Im open to suggestions on a side by side for nute trials.
I normally run H&g base, BB, OD, drip clean, ewc tea. Maybe just running a base with no boosters. I dont know, prolly should stick with what is working for me..
Got the Ip cam in the veg room today, cool to check on things from anywhere..
