Ehhh... I'm getting banned or my thread is being closed on a bunch of forums, due to lack of updates (and pics). I'm down to three that I barely update, two of which have posts on. Here and the Growery.

It is coming along though. I've figured out what I'm going to do.

I am going from the kiddie pool straight to the deep end, yes, but I've read scoured online articles on how to swim and I've essentially reinvented the houseboat, so hopefully I should maintain buoyancy.


I'm currently being distracted by the wait times on my chiller(probably 5-7w), electrical(1-2w?), and RO system(3-5w). I can maybe get up to 50% with what I've got, but this lack of RO water is discouraging me from flowering. It bothers some strains more than others, but it burns. I haven't flushed as much as I should be though. That will help. I'm also going to look for some membranes. I'm working on my second 3rd stage veg room now and going to paint, then start assembling / wiring my flowering rooms, possibly today. The girls are beasts and were ready to flower a couple weeks ago. A 70 gal res will NOT be too big for 25 or 30 of these plants in flowering.

I've got at least 50% of my buckets and such painted white now. Just have to do my floors and ceiling in the flowering rooms. Planning to start that today.

My fresh clones are rooting well due to the warmer res temps (75-78), but I didn't realize that these res heaters don't have thermostats. That's an inconvenience and hazard.

I've also got some white mold again on my hydroton in my 2nd stage system. My 3rd stage (bucket) is designed to prevent it (dry hydroton), but the second stage harbors it. It seems like I may have reoccurring issues with this, unfortunately. Fortunately it does not seem to attack the plants, other than on the stems of dead ones and moist clones. I'm going over every room with 10% bleach 90% water in a sprayer when I clean them out. I will likely expand it to all rooms.
