This grows coming down Sat/Sunday. It's almost done anyway and I have a service guy scheduled in that area. Maybe I can get the new one up & running Monday sometime if I can get the space sanitized in time...Whoop!

y not add more airstones?more o2 the better,i may make a 18gal dwc that has airstones all across the bottom,but i would need to put in a hole at the top so excess o2 can escape,and not push the lid off due to pressure

Thank's. I do have more and another 2 air pumps as well. I'll see how it goes first. I'm trying to follow Rosemans advice at this point. i think he uses a couple of like 18" long ones, but I dont remember. Man, 18 gal is quite a bit of water, work & time to flush & change. I can get plenty for me off 2-3 plants in 6 gals of liquid in an 8 gal tub.

thats why u put a sub pump in that resevoir,put the hose out the window to drain,it will make it easy to swap out the water,and get like a 55gal aquarium filled with water thats frresh,and when its time to fill the 18 again, turn the pump on from the 55 to the 18

How have the buds developed that were left after you topped?

Yes, somewhat. They are doing okay but I did something really dumb.:dunce: I didn't find out about until I sent to top off the tank this morning before the lights came on...When I opened the door, the light hood I use for back lighting was on. It shouldnt have been. It should have been dark. When I looked at the power strip, I discovered when I unplugged it for service a week ago, I plugged it back into the one that's on 24/0 with the fan, the AG pump and the air pump. Needless to say having on a light on 24/0 during flowering is not ideal.
I don't see any hermies but it has slowed down my final grow. I can't believe I'm so stupid to have fucked this up like this. :cuss:

That would work but I'm limited on the number of plants I can legally grow and 55 gal would be overkill for me.

SICC - That's not good. Maybe nute burn if they yellowed first.. You got that ppm meter? Also, if you can get the ppm, that would tell you if your nutes are off. What kind of water you using??? I'm going to try tap next grow. Even the r/o I use can get expensive and all the running around I do to refill the jugs is a royal pain in the ass.
