The Big $6,500.00 Adventure UnderCurrent 8XL13 under 7000w

DIRT FARMER LOSES HIS MIND DIGS UP ORGANIC GARDEN AND PUT IN A SWIMMING POOL????

Well here we go, a dirt farmer tries RDWC.

So I got everything running 5 days ago with the veg nutrients mixed, she's running at pH 5.6 to 6.0, ppm 210/230 and 71 degrees the chiller is running off and on like it should will get the temp down to 67. I'm using Canna Aqua with pk, resatonic and the zyme. Have them under 4 1000w MH right now, and will flip in 2 weeks. I have all my own genetics except one which is Shiva from Dr. Atomic that I had in dirt and cleaned up hope it survives the beating. The others are what I call Blue Storm, a cross of NL, Freezeland (Hells Angles Montreal)and DJ Short New True BB.

Ha your computers name is R2D2

Sounds badass can't wait to finally see some big UC grows (with pics) on RIU

That looks sick...what are your ambient temps like? Seems like it would be a sauna in there without air cooled hoods running 7 1,000 watters. subscribed

excuse my lack of know how , but what are the units in pic 4 ?

Pretty sure they're DIY ballasts.

lol now you say that it was obvious....

Where the hell did you get those ballasts? There not full diy because the 220 switch box and handle are far too sophistacated. Thats just sexy.. Im tuned in. Good luck man..

They are Pro 1000 MH/HPS 120/240 slectable, high end just no case for better cooling. They are made to not have a case so all the connections are sealed so you can't get electrocuted. Not the same as DIY.

It"s 20 below out and I have a 8" fan 740fpm hooked to a thermostat set at 75. I also have 4 other fans and a 6" blowing out on a thermostat. I also have a 1/2 hp chiller that keeps my water at 68 all the time. Average temp is about 77 and at the plants it's 74. I have air for the summer.

The room is 1500sqf with 9 foot ceilings.

Pix #2 is the temp at the base of the plant (out temp) and the in temp is where the unit is attached 18 inches above the gullwing.

Looking good Woodsman. What is the foot print size for the buckets?

15w x 13L x18h and they hold 13 gal.

you spent 6500$ and got 45$ hoods? good looking setup though.

Yup could not get adjust a wings but plan on going vertical when I flower

Got a link for the 45 dollar hoods?They look funky fresh!

Looks pretty cool. Very different from most of the setups round here. Few thoughts/questions.

1) Are the ballasts outside? It looked like blue sky in the background above the ballasts.
2) WHY IS YOUR DOG IN THE ROOM?!?!? You must like spider mites, bugs, & half chewed up plants =P
3) Who makes that under current system & where did you get it?
4) PM me if you want a disgusting hookup on equipment/ferts.

Nice and large with 9ft. ceiling you're going to have some beasts. Sorry I wasn't clear with my first ? I was wondering what is the actual size of the flowering bucket lay-out? Something like 5'x12'...I like the set-up. I have been running nft, but have been thinking about the undercurrent for down the road. I see that you grabbed a 1/2hp chiller too, should have no problems with that on guard. I saw that it's rated for to 250 gallons but didn't look at it's pull down rates. I can't imagine it won't cover you though.

1) Are the ballasts outside? It looked like blue sky in the background above the ballasts. Nope
2) WHY IS YOUR DOG IN THE ROOM?!?!? You must like spider mites, bugs, & half chewed up plants =P He is part of the security team and has been around for every grow for the last 6 years. Cats are bad for bugs, but dogs can drag them in too. I'll get him a clean suit and some boots or just hang a no pest strip on him LOL I hear you. I love my dogs what can I say.

Got a link for the 45 dollar hoods?They look funky fresh! Got them at the local hydro shop

The foot print is 10 x 4 and the chiller should be more than I need, it runs for 5 min. every 20 min or so.

Total water is 90 gallons with 45 gal back up res.

scribed for sure love the UC DWC same setup Ive been looking into.... big + rep to you sir
