Spin tight bulkhead? I thought uc used uniseals. That is what I make all mine out of. There hard as hell to push in but they sure as shit don't leak! I did the math on buying a uc and it would have cost twice the price and either way you have to put it together. If I could change anything about mine I would have rather used 7 gallon buckets instead of 5. You can buy square tomato cages just about anywhere now days and they come in two sizes. I love the way your cages work for outdoor growers and it even works better when you start with a small one early on and put a larger one around when they start to bloom. You cant get better support then that nut I have to be able to check my roots and be able to pull them out to do maintenance. I'm pretty excited today I've got my first water chiller on the way no more 75f water for me.

Yeah the new UC systems use the spin tight bulkheads, the design seems very well thought out but they have to be damn near perfect or they will leak! I think they use them only on the 13g systems but I'm not sure. I just bought it from UC because although I like building stuff I just wanted to buy everything I needed and set it up and grow.

sorry about the pics my iPad keeps rotating them for some reason

Damn I might need another 70pint unit, it's barely keeping it under 57% humidity. If I wasn't using co2 I would just vent it all the time.

Yes indeed. And when the plants get bigger and the lights go off...it's going to turn into a jungle.

Better to keep temps and humidity in check than sacrifice them for CO2.

Your fine now, perfect really. But you will want it drier in the last couple weeks

Oh. BTW.. Those companies that "make things specifically for grow rooms"..most of them just buy there shit from china and smack their label on it. You think a grow company is actually making dehumidifiers or tankless hot water heaters,

Exactly what I was assuming. I thought the hydro store dude was a cool dude but yesterday he gave me some bullshit explanation about the ideal air dehumidifier a saying they have some special stuff on it cause the resins in grow rooms can effect it. I was LOL in my head There's no way I was going to believe that.

Ok I should cut off co2 anyways during the last few weeks correct? At that point I could just vent the tent to keep the humidity lower. When I vent the humidity comes down to 46%.

Yeah I generally cut co2 down in the last two weeks to about 500.

Co2 will cause the dissipation of ethlene which helps the buds mature. They also don't need all that co2 in the end. I raise my lights, cool the temperatures, and drop the humidity. Cause...that how it happens in nature. Raising the lights has resulted in better looking buds with more trichs for me.

Happy growing

image.jpgimage.jpgimage.jpgimage.jpgimage.jpgJust an update on what I got out of this run. total dry weight came out to 6 pounds and three ounces. Buds were massive and I had to break them down during drying to prevent bud rot. I just started GDP now in same setup.
 
yeah man thanks for sharing your growing process i always love to see a beautiful plant grow same dank bud, Keep doing you man
