So the new RDWC was a failure. Still leaks if I move buckets around, and now with changing to the big huge Rez the pumps don't have the power for the vertical draw. SO. Plan is to go through the tops of the buckets for send and receive. The leaks are never at fittings always the bottom spot I tapped into the sides of the buckets. Second will be to get bigger pumps to muscle the vertical draw.

For this exact reason I'd like to get a generator. Electrical company says it's a planned outage should be on within another hour and a half. These freaking people I swear.

So I transferred them to dry buckets, the root balls hold at least a half gallon of water, I'll dunk them in their tanks in 45

Damn that's not good .. if I had regular power outs I'd personally stick with coco. Power goes while you're out one day, you could lose the lot. Just looking back at your post you could probably cut you veg in half if everything runs smoothly. I veg for 4 weeks. 2 plants they are beast .. I'm hoping to get atleast 20oz a plant... dry. Hope you pin it down mate good luck

No power outages are not regular at all.....that's why it infuriated me. Even when we lose power to a storm it's usually no longer then like 15 minutes. 2 hours was pretty rare.....and yes this was my first grow so I did a lot of the normal noob mistakes so I hope to really cut veg time in future. I don't know if 20 oz per will be realistic with my lights, but I don't see why I shouldn't get 12 per at least when I get it dialed in.

Usually if conditions are right you can just about know what you will get based on light used. What light are you using? My buddy I've referenced I've seen bring in nearly a LB off a 600w HPS. He is not consistent with that though. They say LED has potential for 1.5g/w which should make my max potential 1050g. But 1g/w is more realistic which would have me around 700g. BUT this is my first go so I'm trying to have low expectations.

I defoliate a lot .. I've took about a bin bag full off them 2. I leave all the top 4 fans on each top and any that isn't blocking another top . I don't strip leafs for the sake of it .. everything under the net has gone, plus branches that didn't make it or was going to amount to anything. I'm running 2 600hps 1 over each. Stopped using peroxide I'm now using calcium hypochlorite at much lower doses works a treat , res smells the best it has for a long time!
