I think whats throwing me off is those are garbage cans?They look smaller in the picture but yes in size comparison i can see how there 2 inch pipes lol.My bad man
This little conversation has sparked me to make a thread on my setup

They are 10 gallon brutes

No problem some peeps avoid conflict i accept it lol
peace
Though we're straight

I used the cans to get rid of dead spots square containers "can" make.

Water doesn't like to bounce off straiggt corners in my mind

Yeah but it's hard to get a pipe to seal right on a rounded surface.in square buckets the stones aerate the water enough and the flow goes through the buckets.more than enough circulation.but either way the concept is the same

Yep,@Heisengrow

i made a drilling fixture to get perfect holes in the cans all alinged within a 1/16 of an inch

The return pipe is a nice straight shot
Ill have to get you a pic cause i aligned my tees so the flow is directed to the brain bucket

Also a powerful suction can be felt at each bucket
But the suction is very equal

There is so much flow that my res drops like 4 inches when the pump is on.

The syncra pump is bookoo awsome

If you have any other questions about the set up let me know

If you're growing in a trellis or have a thick canopy then defoliating and lollipoping is a must imo or you'll end up with a bunch of bullshit larf on the bottoms. Pull that shit off and let the energy focus at the tops of the plants! I defoliate/lollipop 2-3 days before flipping then again on day 14.
Honestly could have pulled more off on this round imo but im still happy with how its coming..

Yeah I think IL stick with defoliating, I'm not a big fan of the larf.

I have been leaving more fan leaves tho, and just removing sucker bud sites.

The small newly formed , skinny stemmed , under developed bud sites.

Glad I used the search button, this thread is exactly what I've been reading about. My thoughts used to be on defoliating to get light to more bud sites, I'm now going to leave plants alone and NOT defoliate.

Agree if your outdoors you shouldnt defoliate

But if indoors you want to maximize your grow area you have too. I bent and tucked leaves till the canopy was so thick it didnt breath lol

So i have to pluck your milage may vary .

@GNOME GROWN. Sick set up you got there bud!

My journal has recent update pics here

Try it without screwing with the leaves and see what you get,
A pound out of what kind of watts? I can pull easily 2.5 lbs from a 600 watt in a 4x4 area with a medium producer , easy ,
Scribing is easy but has to be done correctly , scrog done right will greatly improve production by 1/3 , orca will add around another 20 percent production and hydro over dirt production another third increase in production ,
There you go I just told you how to double production,
Can you show me some some pics of this grow? 40oz from 600w in 4x4 hot dam
If that’s easy, what would be max?
What is the strain? Is this wet weight? Is this counting leave n stock?
I’m not saying it can’t be done, but I’d like to take notes .
What can you pull in a sealed room with a de 1000?

Can you be my Mr Miyagi?

You have a lot of yellow for day 35 gg4, maybe you should learn to grow b4 offering advice, imo

Id agree they are discolored.

But looking at the overall results the plants look happy .

Could have had an issue but he has since corrected it .. it looks like

Just thought I'd toss in my two cents on defoilation in this thread.

Basically if your typical grow shows considerable yellowing or deficiency before two thirds of your grow are done then I would not advise defoilating. On the other hand if it's normal for you to reach maturity with mostly green plants and very little leaf loss then have at it.

I personally don't defoilate to the degree some are suggesting the term means. I just want make sure I have good airflow and light hitting as many bud sites as possible.
I also rapidly increase leaf take if I'm approaching done with only the bottom leaves yellowing. I want to assist the plant in using up its reserves for finish.

myself,skitty,doc holiday,toasty,and Heath Robinson call all pull 8 lbs on a 1000 , up to ten on a gavita,
at one time guys like the nay sayers said the earth was flat, guys like me said it was round, of course the flat earth society wanted to kill and hated guys like us,,,so we got in our boats and sailed around the world , and guess what? it was round,
at one time people said we could never be able to fly to the moon,
guys like us went to the moon,
when I was a kid a cell phone was only on star trek, people said we would never see such bull shit, we made it happen,
the one eyed man is king in the land of the blind,this sums roll it up nicely too,
about everything I see on here if you done the exact opposite of what you are being told you would be correct,2 pics 045.JPG
