How do ya get such HUGE buds??

[IAmKowalski]

Nice setup! Frankly, the only adjustment I can see is that you should paint that clear tray to make it light-proof. Roots don't like light. And, of course, algae does...

What kind of yield have you gotten in the past with this setup?

The one thing we can not figure out is HOW DO YA GET SUCH BIG BUDS? We r on our third grow and so far nadda big bud grown.Is it in the Pruning or letting them grow with no pruning .We see the pics on here and scratch our heads HOW. a friend of ours who grows outdoors mainly doesn't prune and gets huge buds but that outdoors. ANY Hints , clues , suggestions will all be put to good use. Rating: 5

Paint top tray that plants sit in, bottom tray which is the res or both? I will post a pic or 2 later of the other DIY cabinet I put together but as you can see the first cabinet was bought and good lord was it overpriced!!!! save a ton of cash if you read before you do hehe

You don't want light getting to the root zone, or to the nutrient solution. The roots need to be in the dark, and where there aren't roots you will still get algae and nasty scum which can be avoided by making the tray opaque.

Kk will get on that and get it painted. Only time we have had an algae issue was on our second grow, somebody didnt clean the Hydrotron very well after the first grow so we got a lil green but been fine on this run. Just getting ready to start 2nd cabinet up so glad we are asking this stuff now, kinda hard to paint stuff and such when growing in it LOL

I agree pic's are lookin good, i wouldn't expect much more than that in size for week3. Check mine out if you get a chance, and let me know if you're lookin for bigger buds than i have at middle of week6. I think lumens=bigger buds. The more light, combined with higher intensity should produce bigger buds. I'm having a hard time getting their nutrient levels at the right threshold. Also didn't know ppm should be measured before all the other goodies are added. Are you're plants sativa dominant? they are stretchy, kinda, exactly what i hope my Chocolope does!

I believe the MediBud is a combo and no clue on the Generic. Couple more days I'll put up week 4 pics

You got air stones running in that res?
Cover it with something to block the light, as stated. Be careful painting a system with plants in it because outgassing solvents can damage plants (google 'hydrohut syndrome'). Tinfoil works in a pinch, and you can do a proper lightproofing when the harvest comes in.
