Day 1 of flowering...... From right to left Row 1- 6 Mighty Grape, Row 2- 5 Skunk #1, Row 3- 6 Critical Mass, Row 4- 2 Durban Poison front 3 Purple Bud Row 5- 5 Melon Gum... I'll post new pix every week until finished.View attachment 3289198 View attachment 3289202View attachment 3289198 View attachment 3289202 View attachment 3289209 View attachment 3289210 View attachment 3289211 View attachment 3289212 View attachment 3289213 View attachment 3289214 View attachment 3289215 View attachment 3289216 It's a Deep water culter with 5 bubblers in each of the five tubes. One bubbler for each plant. The res recirculates the water in the tubes twice daily. So it's kind of DWC and Ebb & Flow mix. Each plant is in a 3.75" net pot with 3" rockwool. Hope you guys like it!
also hope u dont mind but can i get a blueprint of that setup i could copy it but wanna get the details so i can run one like that in my 2meter by 1.2 meter tent i have 2 600w hps just got a new 1000w im gunna add after i trial these 180w leds

you just need 4''pvc, 4''pvc 90degree angles and endcaps, a hole saw to cut holes to fit ur pots..its really self explaining you need a good airator, mine is a hydrofarm w/8 outlets, think it was 70 dollars on amazon.. i have a 35 gal res under to recirculate water but you really dont need to do that, i did it cause it keeps the water moving and makes changing the water really easy..

not sure what i get per plant, i usually way each strain after its dry seperatly then just get a total..last grow was 27 plants,11 northern lights,6 critical hog and 10 blue mystic's, the nl was my best producer but total weight for the 27 plants was a little over 3/4 of a pound..im really hoping to get like 1200 grms= 1 gram per watt but i dont know how to do it?? maybe i need to veg them longer or start topping them..however if i top critical hog it produces less than an untopped plant..oh well ill get better and better, this is only my 3rd run on this build...before this i ran a 4x4 ebb n flow for over ten years...in the BC bloombox i normally get a 1/4 pound or more dried weight off those 9 plants. I must say the BC boxes are expensive but my bloombox and mothership,$6,000.00 paid itself off in less than a year, so i would recomend them to newbies who dont want to build their own or want a stealthy box that locks..pluss i got over a year of nutrients w/ it and extra bulbs and pumps...TRULY WORTH THE MONEY!! Now its all profit .

i originally bought the bloombox and mothership a few years ago. i had a kid and was going to change my grow room to a kids room, so i thought they would be my little grow..never did switch the grow room and bought a bigger house last december w/ an unfinished basement. worked on it awile before moving in in march of this year and built the grow above but still uuse the bloombox and i use the mothership for male,s and breeding right now,,nice it has a filter so no pollen gets into the bigger flower room..i did a couple crosses w/ a male durban poison,afghan, and blueberry as they are all either stabilized hybrids ,true breeds or landrace strains..i also have a feminize spray that makes a female get pollen to make S1,s and female seed crosses...i have some seeds from a cross i did awile back,, its the shit by mr.nice crossed with the fire og by BCBD. i call it the fire shit,lol its very uniform, great producer, and finishes in 50 days...i want to plant it again sometime soon but im to crouded right now and im starting to think anything more than 5 strains at once is a hassle....and i have 15 strains,,lots of work to keep them all.. i think im getting rid of the purple bud by seedsman and maybe the critical hog...

WOW.............lol..................I use to do the same damn thing....................small world, lol.

Your setup I mean. Bought ready made ones and modded them..................They were called the Greatest Growing Machine...............lol.............or something like that.
About exact setup as yours. About same # plant sites, same size PVC, different connection however, but same ability to run it as a DWC, or a Thin Film set up,
or straight top drip....

I ran 1 grow with 3 sets of them....................that was 12 years ago.............they have been in my attic since....................need to give them away I guess.........
Ran across your thread, saw your setup, just had to look and comment................Good luck with your grow!!!!


:peace:

did you want to sell that or what?? havnt heard from u...

Hey man I noticed you have a lot of lower branches sucking up energy from your tops.Also your outside is getting shaded too much.I bet you could do better with single cola grows by pinching everything of but the tops once you go 12/12 also the single cola setup will help with the shading issue.
just a thought.Did you know that a plant is predispositioned to how much bud it will put out and that some plants do better with single cola and others with multi tops.I would look into your strains and see what they all are set to do with their genetics.

i have notice some strains are better topped than not and some like single colas, ive also noticed the skunk plants are more tree shaped wile the critical mass has 2 or 3 branches that come up to the tops...do u really think if i cut most the lower branches before flower id get a bigger yield??(please go to page 1 and see what they looked like at onset of flowering) also i wonder about pulling some of the large shade leaves so more light gets to the branches,,not sur if i should?? this is just my 3rd grow w/ this set up so please give me any tips so on the next run ill get better yields.. Anyone else think i should cut the lower branches before flower?? if you go to day 1 flower u can see how small they were and how big they are now..how many branches should i cut and how many days before flower as id like them to be healed from the trim before i put them in 12/12..should i just leave the top and the second and third set of branches?? thanks for the tips and id truly apreaciate any more as all the knowledge passed on can help my future harvest.. im getting rid of purple bud after this she is to finicky compared to the others and i think the durban poison doesnt need lower clipping as she doesnt branch out like the others..also i think the mighty grape and mellon gum row 1 and 5 need more veg time than the skunk and critical as they didnt stretch like the others... thanks again for any comments or tips..
i must say i dont know if its the strain change or the set up switch, but in my 4x4 ebb n flow plants never branched out like this and i put 20 plants in 4'' rockwool in that area, plant still got 3 feet tall but never branched like this of course i didnt have lower lighting either.

AGAIN, PLEASE READ ABOVE STATEMENTS, any tips are welcome on my next run the board will be painted white, thanks cold cash,. the pvc will be bigger or have T's conecting them for better water flow, root size, and drainage..mellon gum, durban poison, and mighty grape will have 1 more week of veg than the skunk and critical, .pluss ill be adding a couple blueberry's..Also cutting the lower branches on some strains if you all agree.. thoughts??

Update, i just recieved 4 4 foot T5 light strips w/6500 and 2700 k bulbs to replace the T12's next run.. Do you guys think i should use them or should i get rid of lower lighting?? i could hang the strips at the same height as the hps lights or put 2 strips over row 1 and 5 or even put them on the sides.. Or just put the T5's in my veg room....What do you guys think?? use them, lower, above, sides, or get rid of them?? please help me decide!!

Yo chemist wasup - Check this out I grow my plants in veg til I have a 2' x 2' bush.I clean all the wisp and leaves off 3" from the bottom of the stock and up.The day I put it into bud I pinch all growth where the nodes grow out between the leaves all the way up to the top leaving only leaves and the tops of each main branch.If there are any branches that are weak and shaded by the main top canopy,i cut it off.What this does is allow for all the bud forming energy to got to the main colas on the plant.I clip very few fan leaves after the switch but I will if the block a top.Ta have to allow the light in.There are no rules really,just trial and error as im sure you are finding out.Looks like you have 2 1k HPS.if the room isn't too hot you can leave your florescents but ifyou clean it up like I do all you need is the 2 1k's and you're good.check these buds out,this is what comes from what I explained...ANDgood genetics.;)labrador 002.JPG
