I would call more like raping them. I do extensive leaf trimmiing around week 3. I spend 1 or 2 hours doing it but that's by far the most time I ever spend on the plants except trimming.

Thank you, I actually came across it today at my local Wally World, but the only one they had was cracked on the bottom. Hey SS, is there anywhere you go into detail about the drain setup in your veg tubs, res. I run an almost identical set up, but with water in each tub, which is a pain in the ass, I would love to only have 1 veg res!

Extremely simple. I use 3\4" ebb drains in each tub connected using 3\4" tubing and fittings.

To all that say hydro is too much work and you can't leave it for long periods, I say pooh. Just got home after 10 days to perfect rooms. So a few pics. Veg room is thriving and new strains are popped. And this is the new system at day 32 I think my estimate may be light with 3 weeks left because that is a full rack of buds.

It is indeed. Tip of the cap to you

I hear you re: ease of operation. It was you, and a few others that helped push me to hydro. Best thing I could have done was take my pots to the land fill lol. Must be nice to come home, see whats happened in 10 days. Really hits home the speed of things when you see that!!!! Great job Super, and thanks for the time to share a great setup. Got another strain question. I dont like to mail order seeds, blue god is not available at the local seed store, whats a couple of other strains you've been happy with? Have you picked out some new starters yet?

I just finished my rail with 180deg jets I'm used to dwc with binnes an my ? Is can I use binnes in my rail or do i have to go steril I have a eco plus 396 pump an jets from home depot

I do not believe in sterile res. In nature there are beneficial bacteria and they are there for a reason.

So if I run non organic nutes will a pond zyme like product not work in keeping the res in check? It seemed to work on my last run but I really don't know if that was the reason.

I dont know the answer to that one. I know pondzyme and hydroguard work great for me.

whatever happened to old dude?

I think i pissed him off. My life was crazy and he wanted some collars I promised him and I kept forgetting them. He is a very good person and I miss seeing him around.

Hey SS how many mothers you keep on average and how many clones you take off one before you start anthor one ???

I have never and never will keep mothers. There is no need. I have had up to 17 different strains and a few of those had different phenos and never a mother.

I am currently expanding from 3000watts to 6000watts in flower and harvesting everyevery 10-11 days. So 24+ oz every week from 160sqft isn't bad, along with only working about 15-20 hours a week it makes for a nice job. What's a pound go for where you are? I get 3600-4k per.

Impressive setup, man. I thought my DIY RDWC system was sick lol. Reason im responding is im double jealous and i thought id let you know how lucky you are haha, up here in Upper Michigan your lucky to get anything over 3k for an elbow, regardless of the test results. Markets kinda dickered. 5 years ago people payed 60 a sack no problem, 40 for mids, now if you charge your friends 40 for clinic grade your considered stingy lol. I dont even wanna know whats gunna happen when its decriminalized.

And yes insulating the rails is important for many reasons, none being reflective or opaque. It keeps the temp inside the rail considerably lower, thus keeping res temp lower. You really should consider what you say before putting it in print.

Can you provide info on the insulating wrap that you use? thx

I use the aluminum bubble wrap from Lowes and either tape or velcro or zip ties to keep it tight.

So I'm trying to source the spray heads and having issues! Sorry if this has been answered already but are yours threaded into the pvc? Did you order them online and if yes from whom. Perhaps a name and model if you have it. I can get the ones that stick in the tubing but not sure if they would work by friction fitting them in predrilled holes.Thanks again SS for all your time!!!
