Check out the lovely ladies in their new homes.
A fuse blew right after transplanting (fuck). They were in the dark for about half an hour. hopefully they won't be too stressed.
lookin gud bud luv
i'll be following this shit ,good job dude
hey bud luv ,
off to a good start man . how long do you plan on veggin for ?
i'm doing just 4 right now w/ same basic sys. but recurculate it . i vegged for 5 weeks topping all 4 at the 4th. week . just the 4 of mine would fill that room in your picture . be careful not to let them choke each other out . they blow up huge , crazy huge . my 11 x 12 room is like AFRICA n shit .
have you done em this way before in the past / what kind of yields ?
peace

I'm switching over to recirculating today or tomorrow. I got a submersible pump that will sit in a 13th bucket connected to the three rows, with a pump line going back to the main res. I hope that works.
I had a 2.5 year break from growing, but last time around I used GH kits in 5 gal buckets too. I think I had 4 buckets last time around. I only had a 400w lamp that last time, in a closet. I also had meddling roommates that probably messed things up a little. But I was still able to pull a couple zips off each plant, I'm hoping for considerably more than that off each one this time. I really don't know what to expect though.
Wow, so you have 4 plants taking up an 11x12 space? they must be some monsters! you have 2x1000w right? what kind of yields?
bud luv
It might be hard to see from my pictures, but the internodal spacing on these ladies is extremely tight. This is the first time I've used MH for veg, and there seems to be a difference. The nodes are all 3 inches from each other at the most. :pimp:
I also had to put a small oscillating space heater in the grow room, as nightime temps were getting south of 55 degrees F. (The plants weren't in there yet).
I think an aquairium heater pad will be necessary too. Crispi - what's your res temp?
hey B/L ,
i have about 18in. all the way around the room to walk n work . so the 4 actually only take up about 8'x9' .
i added a few pics. to the waterfarm/dwc club post of bluebears this a.m. of what you plan on doing w/ the 13 gal. bucket w/ pump . i even went as far as dying the plain water in the cells w/ food coloring to make sure it indeed was recirculating n not just drawing nutes from the resovior down the lines to the pump bucket . i was having probs. w/ all cells being dif. p/h n ppm . w/o recirculating the nutes .
last grow my room was 7 x 9 w/ 4 girlz in 5 gal. individual DWC/drip combos under 2-1000w. hps. i topped em all , vegged for 6 weeks n got 6oz. on my uggliest girl , n 17 oz. on my prettiest . i had both ballasts in the room then and the 6 oz. girl got the piss burned out of it by em . live n learn i guess . lol .
when we redid the new room we added a heat duct to help w/ temps . but i still have my resovoir n all cells up on pieces of 1in. thk. siding insulation and put a submersible fishtank heater in the resovior / i'm in a cold basement in the north. my cold temps w/ lights out is 63 deg., and nutes in cells are about 60 deg.
good luck man , keep us posted .
your cuz

6-17 is niiiice. :D
I set up the recirculation yesterday, it seems to work great. All the ppms leveled out identically, +/- 10ppms. $20 for a submersible pump is a great investment.
the res is about 61 degrees without the aquarium heater, knowing that it's close to yours puts me at ease a bit.
I can tell the plants were shocked a little bit by the transpant/power outtage. 12/12 soon.
