Flowering with UnderCurrentDWC

Thanks

also use 2 "inches


you could explain to me, because my EC and PH are lowering the extent that plants drink water?

because you vegged 10 weeks?


you reap how many ounces per plant?


6 week vegged can you imagine how many ounces per plant scoop on 850w?


I'm sorry for so many questions

UCDWC.....amazing work man. Well Done!!! Inspiring to us all.
I read almost all 65 pages of this post like it was a NY Times Best Seller.

I saw you post yield on your first harvest (4lb12oz from 8 ). Did you post any other yield info? If not (or if so), could you put that info out there again?

Thanks so much for taking the time to share.

Are you not concerned with your outdoors getting spotted?

Thanks greenmonster
No, I don't disclose total weight anymore (if you where in my situation you might understand)
Yes I am very concerned. I'm outside all day and sleep next to them.
Funny story, I had 2 city police officers here today admiring them and asking for pics!

UCDWC...I think you've convinced me to go this route with my setup! Those roots are ridiculous in some of your pics. Damn!!!! You've probably changed a lot since your original setup. Any way I could PM you to review my purchase list for a similar setup from scratch? I couldn't find a PM button anywhere.

Good stuff UC very nice and digging the outdoor too awesome man keep up the good work n most of all stay safe mang. Peace

Thanks guys!

I think you need 50 posts to pm green.

Thanks m8. I'll get to posting. I'm still a month away from getting all my equipment together.

Great looking outdoor colas...your yard must smell like a sweet piece of ganjaheaven.

UC

Any water quality problems by draining your dehum to your UC setup?

What are you using to hold up your racks on top of each tote. Looks like pvc maybe but I don't recognize those fittings. Did you just glue them to the lid?

The Dehu ph'd at 5.1, I would just dtw now.

I drill a hole through the lid just bigger than the pvc plug, the plug has a lip so it doesn't pull through, than press fit a coupler on the other side of the lid, and press fit a pvc riser with a slot cut out to the desired height of your scrog screen. Everything can be taken apart and cleaned for the next run.

Day 27

Ty for the scrog rack pic's. Very helpful. Sorry to hit you with a ton of setup questions. I'm in final planning stages and getting EXCITED. Its been several years since I had space to grow. Going to grow a couple Edelweiss and C99 because they are personal favorites. Also White Rhino, and THC Bomb. May add Himalayan Gold during the 2nd or 3rd turn if I don't get a good female pheno of the others.

Here is a quick list of questions I put together. So sorry to not be able to PM these. I hope they help some others on here.

Water Flow in your original 8 tote setup:

What direction is the water flowing. 2" PVC (Outside piping) away from the res and 1 1/4" PVC (middle piping) into the res?

How does the chiller fit into the mix?

Size of Net Pots in original set up:

Are those 6" net pots in the flower room and smaller in your clone room?

Reason for choice of piping on the water chiller:

Was there purpose behind why you ran the piping from the water chiller so high up and then back down rather than just straight through the wall?

Rainshow 'r':

Is that a de-chlorination unit? Or is it doing more than that? Do you recommend adding something like this to the supply line?

Orange Hoses:

Did you end up just using individual GH dual diaphram pumps going into the soaker hose for each tub? Or what would you do if you had a new 8-10 tote setup?

YOU ARE THE MAN. GIVE ME ABOUT 30-45 DAYS AND I'LL START SHARING PICS.

Yes, Btw it's 3/4" polly hose with a 1.25" sleeve around it to take out the bend of the flex tube, I now just buy 3/4" garden hose from blowe's

Nope same size, Clones go from an e-z-cloner to 6" net pots.
I'll be moving over to 5 gallon buckets with 10" net pot lids soon.

Room logistics.
I now have it outside and would suggest to everyone if you can put your chiller outside do it.

That was just a de-chlor unit, I now use a hydrologic 420gph sediment and de-chlor filter.
In my case it's a luxury not a necessity.

Yes,
Soaker tube is great for large totes, with T and L fittings you can make a custom air diffuser out of soaker tube that will give you more coverage than you'll get from any airstone. They will float, I gorilla tape mine to the tote. I won't be using soaker tube in the 5 gallon totes most the 9" airstone disks laying around here.

Just wanted to stop in and thank you again for all your info and advice. This system works as well as I hoped and I may or may not have my head in the clouds at times...

Your new system looks amazing, and your outdoor is monstrous. I wish I could grow outside but I think my community might frown upon it.

Do you think that your w/g ratio is going to be higher with the naked bulb and bigger spacing? Do you have any tricks besides lots of hours with good friends to trim all that goodness? That looks like it will be ton of work for all of those monsters!

I suppose there are worse problems to have.

I'm not sure, Before I had a 2 to 1 bulb ratio now it's 1 to 1, also grape ape is more quality vs yield plant.

Rubber glove, good scissors, rubbing alcohol, and good tunes.

Still tearing it up I see. Beast...

I bought camouflage underwear yesterday, because i like to support my troops!

How is the white media working for you? Better than rockwool? Salt build up?

what happen if you did a seal room with co2 @1500 ppm and air pump are in the same room? will co2 getting pump thru pump to water kill root and plant? i heard that co2 are not good for root. Please help! maybe that was y i was getting root rot for years with ucdwc. I tried everything. even with heis tea! Suck is that was the case. any one here did a ucdwc with seal room co2 before?
