Take some of that 6500 and buy a spell checker so 'experiment' is spelled correctly next time. Other then that, looks good.

Also love the gas no pest strip next to the buds you are ingesting or others are.. mmm maybe not good.

here is where you are wrong, thats how they spell it where he is from.. like an x-pear-a-mint

;)

and hey, everything else is fucking killing it

I want to thank you for sharing your wealth of knowledge and time. Between reading your thread and UnderCurrent's this is what I came up with to work in the space I have. I hope that it can bring you pride as a co-father and live up to your example!

Although UC is a finely honed system, they want BIG money for it (yikes $850- wtf???). Consequently, many of us are experimenting with our own version. I have developed a super simple DIY F & D kit (which eliminates the added complexity of circ water). Most of you already have the hardware, although a big air pump is key

I call it my DIY 21st Century Flood & Drain. Rockin pics from early veg- 4 weeks from harvest,

Details in my journal

I guess you have pix with 1/2 to 2 pound plants in your system? The UC comes with very good equipment and part of it being such a good system is the water flow between the pails and back to the res. so from what you describe you don't do this so don't see how this is relevant to the thread? Maybe try the DIY section.......or start your own thread.

Well I need some cooling so decided to build this to use my chiller. Got the rad from the wreckers and added some stuff I had in my junk pile and there you go AC from a chiller. I have about $200.00 into it.

Rad 15$
rad cap 20$
Rad hose 20$
new 1/3hp fan motor 100$
Fittings ect. 25$

Drops the temp 10 degrees

Well time to re-load the systems and make some changes. It's been 40+ around here so I need to do more about cooling and the new ^^^^^ AC system can use all the help it can get. I am going to insulate everything in the room and see what happens. I have loaded the UC with Novocain and will put more in my jumbo system. My third system will have Double Kush in it. So hang on here we go...

Yup I go every year get the VIP x 2 and sell the shows I don't want to a group of friends that buy my extra every year. Will be harder this year due to the chipped bracelets but we all know each other so picking it up is no problem. I found smoking in the can to be the best, and safest. Helps make sure your joint don't go missing in the crowd lol..... sure is hot and will be for the next few days...need lots to drink, I'm not going tonight, stay home by the pool to keep cool. How's your grow going? Been in to see the boys at the hydro shop lately?
