Thanks duders.

Cocktail frank, thanks for the kind words, I really just love having a clean, sterile looking grow room.

Skunkydemon. I built this system myself Ala blazeoneup's tutorial, with some minor adjustments. I actually have all the components for a 24 bucket system but have scaled down to stay in compliance, in the past I was doing mostly collective grows. And I'm sorry but I don't know too much about the GH waterfarm, but if it's convertible to a DWC then I'm sure someone out there has done it. A quick google search showed some promising leads.

They have REALLY started to explode in the last few days. I'll post some pics in a couple hours when the lights turn on. I know veg pics aren't the most exciting, but it's nice to have the whole growth documented in one place.

Looks great, so far I noticed that a chiller was a must, but having tons and tons of air made everything from the water temp to the ph, nutes less important ... and things grow way way faster ... just a hint

Not sure what you mean slips. Are you saying that using a powerful air pump is beneficial? If so I fully agree, which is why I run a 80 watt 88 LPM air pump for just 9 buckets. I think that's what you meant, unless I misunderstood.

 

[Guest]

Yeap I was trying to say if your use allot air in DWC it makes things go allot smother
I use a 40lpm pump for 4 buckets currently, and have seen dramatic improvement over relying on drip line to provide extra water and air.

Alrighty here we are at another 6 days of growth. FIMmed the girls 4 days ago and now they all have at least 5-6 tops. Gonna flip em here in a day or two.

Now for some pics. I took the pics under varying light conditions to show how different the outcome can be.

HPS turned off, room CFL and flash:

thanx for the nice show.

Cheers.

[simpleword]

Thanks for the kind words man. Yeah they really are exploding now aren't they?

I would def. suggest a recirculating DWC. Most of the work I do involves sitting and staring at the plants.

Ok guys and gals here we are at day 4 of flowering. The girls responded awesomely to the FIMing and I now have tons of tops everywhere. I've been shooting for a very even canopy and I think I'm going to get it. Oh yeah, this strain has some giant leaves, check out the pictures below!

 

[idea]

nice loooking setup.

did you make the hood insulated cover yourself or buy it somewhere? i am thinking of making something similar but i have found afew places with them for sale too.

 

[simpleword]

Thanks Idea. I just used some sticky backed duct insulation from Home Depot.

 

[oldschoolfarmer]

simpleword - nice show so far! That's a killer setup you have, I'll be watching and hoping for a nice big yield for ya

 

[WeeD22MaN]

Hey simpleword

I'll be looking forward to see how well your system works

Have a good one buddy

Thanks guys! This system is already proven itself to me. The real question here is whether or not this strain proves itself to be a keeper. The big bud in it has me nervous.

Great job simpleword! your plants look really healthy.

Thanks Seismic!

So here we are at day 11 flowering, the girls are as happy as ever. There are tops galore! Looks like it's going to be a nice canopy. Gave the girls a nice pruning a few days ago. Also have a shot of what's going on in my mother cab, got some arcata trainwreck, redwood kush, hindu skunk, and romulan.
