Hey Doco ,
I have the texas controller . By only running the lower half i save myself 15-20 gallons wortha nutes every week to 10 days . Budluv said what i couldn't get out w/ the faster recurc. speed isn't always better . lol .
Peace man , you should have no probs.
you do awful well just in a hut . lol

Thanks for the encouragement xcrispi and everyone else too!! I've got all the gear together now and will put the system together for testing next weekend. I've still got to flower a Kush bush thats been vegging for 4 months so I'm a couple months away from starting the waterfarm in production but I'm stoked thats it's in the works for the near future.

These threads have been so helpful...I wouldn't have even tried it if I wasn't able to learn so much from all of you.

I'll post pics next weekend when its all together and running in my kitchen.

Thats the best reason I can think of - thats a lotta dough over the course of a grow too.

Sweet Doco ,
Budluv -n- R-piggys grows are about done . You'll give us somethin new to watch . I hope ? Atleast as far as farms / dwc is concerned . Lotta ppl. disappearing . I sure hope Bluebear comes back . He was like a Big Brother .

I won't even get the chance to try the new gen. buckets I made for prob. 9-10 mos. Last grow for me was enough to stoke an elephant , everything I grow is medicinal / for myself .

So I'm playing w/ genetics -n- a cloning cabinet so hopefully the next bucket grow for me will be 4- Identical Aryian Super Plants . I really wanna find something w/ the right med/ qualities i require and insane potency .
What all have you grown in the past Doco , and what can you tell me about the strains man ?
Peace all
Your Cuz

I'm just learning cloning too xcrispi - kinda had to learn fast when I broke a small branch off one of the Mangos a while back but after a rough start she made it and is now re-vegging nicely.

I just took six more clones a week ago, 2 Jedi and 4 Troublemaker (Hindu Kush X Master Kush) One of the Kush seems like its not gonna make it but the others look like they will be fine. The Jedi are to replace their mother as mothers because I nuked her by too much nutes (very light feeder apparently). It's odd because the Mango I'm doing in the hut are a Jedi X Chrystal cross and they have very good appetites.

The Doco's Hut thread is my first real indoors grow so you've witnessed the entirety of my indoor experience from start to finish! I used to grow outdoors when I lived in the bay area 20 years ago but I didn't know genetics or anything then...there were always great Humboldt seeds floating around tho.

I'm just stoked to be growing my own medicine too. Soil was fun and now I'm ready to experiment with some new challenges!

Where has Bluebear been anyway?? I always liked him too and he tolerated my n00bism well enough.

Bump for Scarlet.....kind of a look through but I recall getting some excellent ideas and suggestions here.

OK, so here is my recirculating waterfarm finally. I based it on many of the tips & tricks I learned in this thread so I wanted to introduce it here first.

Since it is in a HydroHut mini I'm only using 4 buckets (only have a 400w anyway) and a 5th bucket with a Via Aqua 302 pump in it to recirculate back to the main reservoir. I did an illustration to show the flow.

I transplanted these Pure Power Plant from a bubbler I had going in another cabinet and they had mad roots already - I hope they make the transfer OK - this is my first attempt at hydro so it's all a gamble.

damm thats looks great now. but its gunna look even better when they get bigger.
so R they seedlings or clones.

well good luck on your grow.

[doco]

I wish I could say that these are clones but I got wanderlust and wanted to try new strains so I dug into my stash of beans for this one. I will just have to keep my fingers crossed and pray for females. I'd go to the cemetary at midnight to swing a dead cat over my head 12 times too if I thought that would raise f/m ratio.

I forgot to include the res pic. The bottom tube feeds the waterfarms, the one going into the top res is the recirculated stream. I have it outside the hut to help keep temps down - well, that and there's no room in the hut.

Way sweet setup Doco ,
Esp. the fact that all cells/bukts are = distance from the heart/pump bukt . Nutes and PH will never ever get the chance to differ from bucket to bucket . Very neat clean set up man . :thumbsup:
Good luck w/ it i'll def. be watching .
Peace
