Sorry for the long silence, I had to start paying for my internet service since the neighbor that was letting me use his couldn't pay the bill. Anyways Im back and out of the dark ages(no internet or TV)working hard to redesign my system, I think I should see much more yields. I scratched all the 5 gallon reservoirs and small 550lph pumps. I yielded 1-1/2 lbs out of the last grow but had a few hermaphrodites(queers) probably due to my nutrients gettting too warm. even though they never got over 72 I was still saw root rot and was unhappy with latest yields. I am still using the same boxes with nutrient reservoir in the next bathroom(18 gallons), with a single 1/2 hp sump pump(3600gph flotec). My bathroom is sealed with a 14000btu stand up ac unit that cools 2 (soon to be 3) 50 gallon reservoirs(for each 1000w liquid cooled), and 1-18gallon nutrient reservoir(soon to be 3). I am still using the same nutrient line but keeping my nutrients reservoir much cooler (63*-68*F). Everything is looking much better this time around. I have 3 strains in here I cloned off my feminised seeded mothers, Positronics Black Widow:clap:, greenhouse seed co-bubba kush:-(, mr. nice guy's-super silver haze and critical mass:-P. black widow and critical mass are really impressing me. I am using Co2, the black line is strapped to my trellis grid,it has maybe 8-10 holes punched in it.
I also have a few plants in flowering that were my mothers(3weeks in), these are in 5 gallon buckets of hydroton(which I really hate), as you can see I have fly traps set up to catch the little buggers crawling in the rock. There is super silver haze, critical mass, bubba kush, NYC sour Diesel, black widow and UK cheese.
P.S. sorry for the horrible pics, I will update with some better pics as it is 2:45am and I shot some of the pics in the dark.

Thanks, took a lot of work and money to get this far. I've gotten around 1.5g per watt so Im shooting for 2g/watt. I am going to switch nutrients to Hydrodynamics 1 part Ionic bloom/boost, I've seen >2.5g/watt with the Ionic, and Ive always used Hydrodynamics clonex with great results so I figured they have a great product. we're all in the same boat.... trying to stay medicated without breaking our wallet, I do this because I know exactly what is going into my lungs. I smoke an 1/8th a day to keep from having to take heavy narcotics for a fractured back, when I have to buy it and smoke the dispensary/comercialized, I can't help but wonder what these growers are using for nutrients. After about a week of smoking the comercialized shit my partner and I both get the sore throat. gotta wonder if theyre using miracle grow sometimes.
+rep to everyone who post

I think theres a pic of the light setup in this update, using liquid cooled on movers must have some flexable hose that wont kink, I use the yellow hose they sell with it and it still can kink if lines arent run right.
I have seen the fastest growth I have ever seen in my room, I have actually been running about 600ppm(EC 1.2) for the last week. I ran out of aqua flakes B and not A =-|, so they have to starve, anyways I refused to buy anymore as I am waiting for my new line of nutrients(IONIC) to come through the snail mail. Have had a real hard time finding Ionic grow/bloom in the U.S.A, guess those Euros want to keep secrets to themselves. I've also been using tap water and topping my reservoir off when it needs it. I am sorry for the horrible pics from my droid phone, hope you can see it. enjoy week 3 flower

week 4 flowering, super silver haze is putting the weight on early, critical mass is just massive(was the smallest when first put into 12/12) and black widow is frosty. maximum PPM has been 1000 and usually around 800, tap water is working just fine.

Kool ty for the info, i can compare on monday than see if i need to bump up my feeding lol!!
What you using for nutrients? I used to be a house and garden man but I switched to a simple/cheap 1 part Ionic grow/bloom and things look better than ever. I haven't run over 1000ppm yet, seems to be working well, been starving them the whole time. for 3 weeks of veg I used 500ppm.

Well for veg i used just mexican bat guano made a tea and fed every other watering and probly veg. for about 5 or 6 weeks. Than for flowering i use Bio Bizz - Top Max, Fish mix, Bloom. Add a little magi-cal for micro and thats it!! but i just got to half strength on the nutes i feed every other watering, also and plan on giving my first good flush with just water this weekend!

Nice grow UrbanAerO! There is one question I have and that is what is the type of enclosure you are using to house your roots? How deep is it?

I am looking forward to seeing your results on the Critical Mass. I have 10 mothers that I am about to take cuts off of. If you could post some finished bud shots and discription it would be truly appreciated. GL
