Default Looking good!
It appears your plants are growing pretty vigorously also. When you say you are using full strength Botanicare nutes, what EC/ppm level is your res at? How about your pH? Are you still on the 2x a day feeding schedule?

Thanks Rhymes.

Abnjm: I actually do not know what my ec/ppm or pH levels are. I use distilled 5 gallon jugs of water to start with and I haven't had any problems. I do know that I may need to adjust things if I start having problems...but for now...I'm just doin it and doin it and doin it well lol - And yes, I am still on 2x a day (12 hrs a part) watering.

Hey BigBud992, Things are looking great first of all. Keep it up, i cant wait to see everything in like 5 weeks. I had a couple of question for you which i hope you can help me. Where can i get one of those distribution heads that you have coming from your main water line. It looks like there is a 1/2 inch line going to it and it splits out into a bunch of 1/4 tubes. This is exactly what i need for a similar setup. I acctually was turned on to your grow because i have two SW's in waterfarm setups under a growzilla. I am on about the same date as you from germ. I started germing them on 9/26 and they were sprouted and ready by 9/29. I moved then into the systems on 10/3 and they have been going crazy ever since. I will be doing a journal when i am done and in the meantime i am really excited to keep up with yours. Sorry for being so long winded... and thanks for your time.

Hey Hydrokronics what's up!?? You are correct, its a 1/2 inch lead comin into the head and then it splits into 12 different 1/4 inch tubes that are connected to these spikes that just have the water running right down to the tips. I actually have the 1/2 inch hose stuffed pretty tight into the opening (I didn't have a fitting piece for it or anything) and I just used some aquarium silicon to make it water proof tight (it works great so far). Honestly, I bought it about 2 or 3 years ago online. I just searched for 'irrigation nozzle' or 'drip nozzle' or something along those lines. I will try and search for u to see if I can re-track my steps. Lookin forward to your journal!

Retrofit Drip Head, 1 GPH, PC, 12-outlet Maverick with 1/2" FPT (PC1201)

That's pretty much exactly what I have, except I believe mine is a 3gph max, instead of 1gph. I honestly want to go to an ebb n flow (the same thing I'll be doin for my flower room), but for now this drip system works. Its hard to water all of the plant/rockwool cube/hydroton with a lil drip system...but its doable.

Thanks bro. I will try and search as well for somthing like that. I have had good succes with the waterfarm units but would also love to move to an ebb & flo. I have heard and read alot (thanks AL.B) of good things on the results of these systems. Are you planning on moving them into a ebb? what kind of system are you setting up in your flower room and how much light are you planning on giving your girls? Thanks again for you help!

Not a problem! My flower closet will be the same size 5x2x7 as my veg. I'll be using a 400w agromax (30% more blue) HPS bulb with a easy cool 6 hood. I have a carbon filter as well (not entirely sure if I'll need it yet [actually, I think I need it, but some other people close to me are telling me I don't if I just vent the room out the roof]). I'll probably have 4 or 6 plants going at a time with an ebb n flow system of 5 or 10 gallons.

NICE. yea. i am acctually in a similar sit. I have a carbon filter whihc i dont think i need et and i gave a vortex 6inch 449cfm PULLING air through my daystarac and my growzilla and then into my attic. I think that with the filter it is strangling my fan and it is not getting enough air for cooling! I have heard that it is much better to have the fan in the room and BLOWING the air through the hoods. I havnt yet decided completly on what to do. Let me know what you think and if you end up hooking up the filter!

To make things even wierder i started two PPP and two SW beans from nirv on almost the same day you did but my PPP were all duds.they sprouted, but had such slow and weak growth that they were worhtless. I was surprised to find someone on the same schedule let alone the ame strains. Good luck and keep it up. we will be watching

-Peace

Damn that sucks hydrokron....were your nirvana's feminized? 1 of my 4 (a SW) is a lot smaller than the others [for reasons unknown at the moment] but it seems to be good now. Also, the first set of leaves on both Snow Whites were really awkward looking.

As for your set-up...I'm not sure which is better (having the fan in the attic or in the room) but I'm going to go with it in the attic because I think that will be the most stealth-like (noise).

Valueline 6 Inch Centrifugal Inline Fan - Businesslights.com

That's the fan I bought. I have a 6" duct fan (160cfm stand-alone) that will be exhausting my veg room in the summer (but right now its too cold to do that). I also bought 2 fan speed controllers. We'll see how it works. My initial plan was/is to have air from the room get pulled thru the carbon filter, thru any tubing if necessary, thru the aircooled hood, up thru the top of the grow closet (thru tubing), through the fan, then out the attic.
