thanks! i'm still waiting on timers to arrive to turn on the quest 155. i want it to come on 2 hours before lights out and take the room down to about 50% lights out. then shut off at lights on.

thanks! all sounds good! you might check the pump to see if the impeller is magnetically driven. if it is that's good. if it's not it will have a shaft that goes from the motor through a bulkhead with a seal then drives the impeller.
sometimes when these pumps fail they put oil into your water. i've had this kill fish before and it's probably not good for plants either.
been using the 158 harbor freight pumps for over a year no problems!
thanks! i've popped the stardawg x c99 so far. i just cloned the tops and flowered the bottoms on tuesday so i've got about 2 weeks to go before i can cull the males.
should have some well rooted clones by then and off we go!
it's hard to tell from the photos but in the first gg#4 pic above the plant has been thinned of lower growth several times in veg. any shoots that obviously stand no chance of getting to the screen height are removed along with associated fan leaves.
after stretch any growth that is not at screen height or can not be pulled up to screen height will be removed.
How did I miss this one.
HI,
Im thinking about my next grow and asking for strain recommendations. I like an indica cross, that typically can make hard buds even when its hot. (northern lights x bigbug as worked well, as has Ripper seeds Zobmie kush and TH seeds bubblegum)
so placing that next seed order for a grow that wont start until may.
current grow is my first PPK grow with a cenbtral res. what a relief. time on my hands, what a relaxing way to grow!
thanks again d9, i've been doing this all my life, and honestly, your systems design has been the biggest single revelation in my growing history (well, other than moving from 4' flourescent shop lights with growlux tubes to stolen street light HPS fixtures back in the early 70's).
current grow is Bomb Cheese and old school afghani, and everything is rocking in spite my rather low total reservoir volume. maybe a total of 25 gallons per tent, each has 4 plants in a meter square. (quite croowded, three works better) very stable PH. impressively so. I've been running since end 2016 with no res changes.

lucky?
thank you for the kind words!
i really can't make a strain recommendation because there are so many good ones out there now and i'm just starting up my own grow again so don't have any winners to report yet.

i'll have to go look at it later to tell you what hole size we used.
thanks for looking!

Subbed for per plant yield numbers. This is awesome I'm really liking this hydro method.
I wonder how your setup would fare with a new maxpar SEDE bare bulb hanging in the middle of a plant and training vertically around it?

Does this bulkhead fitting cause standing water? It.looks like it would create maybe an 1/8" or so of water in the top container
