ok, you guys have seen the tubs, they are a 15g rim full. water level stays at ten gal, 5 in the res, i dump once a day to check/alter ph. the water is recirculated continuously from the res, and back through the over flow in the center of the plant container.



there are two strains, three phenos in this experiment; two matanuska thunderfuck (1), two matanuska thunderfuck (2) and two afghan. the afghan are a couple weeks older than the mtf, and have a little root rot from transfer... so, they have been chopped back, top and roots, to stay at a more level growth rate with the mtf.

i'll be vegging these longer than i will the real attempt, as i have more room to do so, and do not have the time to spare. i need my meds, and i'm still trying to find a way to supply myself for under 1000w....

i have studied hydro systems extensively, and i have a pretty good feel for all of them; this is a combo of flood and drain and recirculating dwc. and sog to boot this just goes to show you what you can do when you want to... some of you remember my dog food bucket?

as for the particulars:

8 23w cfl's
mylar and white plastic walls
3'' net cups
gravel as medium
gh three part
cal/mag
superthrive
ph up
ph down
an hammerhead
florakleen
3 6'' tornado bubblestones
1 3way gangvalve
60g air pump (wally )
1/2'' black vinyl tubing
1/4'' black vinyl tubing
3 1/2'' id gromets

lol. kP tell them about the crazy frost....

hot damn that looks good. you should change your name to Kind Queen of Pots.

you have no idea babe, really you don't

as for what gygax said, mtf is one strain than likes a frost or two (or several...); as a matter of fact, max resin and thc will not be achieved unless the plant freezes a couple of times...

woah! frosty plants? hmmm. i have been contemplating moving to alaska recently

there's lots of good people in ak, but lots of unfriendly ones too. and remember, even 110 year old grammas have rifles and shotguns.... i think ak is the most well armed state in the us, seriously.
