Sorry about the color.... I had to light/wash it out because the flowering light made the pic. come out too dark.

400 watt HPS

I'd like to get in on this.... I have almost everything I need to qualify.

Bubbler bucket (painted black)
Pump (I will have to change the riser to a lower one)
Air Stones
Net Pots
Starter Plugs
Hydroton pebbles
PH Up & Down
Hanna continuous meter (PH, PPM, TEMP)
Room A/C
400 watt HPS
Dutch Master Gold.... (Complete series: Grow A&B, Flower A&B, Max Grow, Max Flower, Silica and Zone)
7 Fans (not pictured)
3 timers (1 of which is digital) (not pictured)
RO (not pictured because it's currently being shipped to me... but here's a link to the one I bought) Countertop Portable Reverse Osmosis 100-150 GPD - Great RV's and traveling.

The only thing I don't have is a grow using this method. I built the bucket bubbler.... but then read the hempy thread and went with that method for my first grow (which you can see in my light picture). My first clones died (I think because of the shitty water here) so I'll take more when my RO system gets here and get started on a grow using my bubbler.

If I'm successful I hope to participate.... if I fail... well then I guess I'll just have fun watching the rest of you participate

LOL.... I didn't get the impression it was a competition..... I took it as a way to compare nutrients to see if one particular brand works better then another. I thought that's why he wants everyone to have same seeds and as close to the same environment.

That's funny-I use the same RO----works great but very slow output-----my input pressure is 60psi and the unit puts out about 80 true gallons every 24hrs. My tap water comes out at 716ppm's-----the RO cleans it up to 17ppms----this is the third season with the unit and still producing good clean water

That is excellent to know because my water is 500 PPM out of the faucet and I believe has been the source of many of my problems. Do you have the 100 GPD or 150 GPD? I bought the 150 GPD unit. Slow won't bother me as I won't need anywhere near that amount with my 4 - 6 plant grows.

I can't wait to see how my plants do with RO water.

OK
genfranco, and florida girl, are in.

You guys have the DM and AN nutes.

Now we need other types of nutes.
So no more AN or DM users.

Now we need growers using any other brands,
and you will still need to follow the directions
and post a pix.

The first guys who can do this,
are in also.

do we have to have a RO system or can we bring in our own water. I have to go fill up 5 gallon bottles at the store.
