Just posting another grow In my 4‘ x 3’ Tent....
Sorry I’m posting mid-way through flower, but I’ve been busy as a mofo.
Grow System: 4 grow sites RDWC and a Central Rez
Buckets: 5 x 5 gallons
U/C Pipes: 1 x 1/2 inch
Lights: 8 x 250 LEDs
Grow methods: SGROG & Lollipopp
Accessories: 1/10hp chiller & a 25 gal back-up auto-feed reservoir
Strains: White Widow / Gorilla Glue / and a White Widow & Gorilla Glue Cross
Cycle: Week 5 flower
I travel 5 or 6 days a week, so the system is on auto-pilot.
Once a week I do the following
  1. check pH, EC and PPM’s
  2. add 12-15gal of water to the back-up Rez that auto-fills the RDWC
  3. add nutrients: Running At roughly 1000ppm’s at week 5 flower
  4. add 10 ml’s of Souther AG garden friendly fungicide
  5. trim a shit ton of over growth (done trimming now)
The system runs on only 18 gallons and only takes about 15 minutes to drain and refill. Still, I only do a full exchange a few times per grow.
I keep my pH swings in check by maintaining good nutrient levels.
Each bucket has a paint strainer to contain debris and clogging. The have another fail-safe for clogging which has never failed.

One thing i struggled with on this grow was the canopy and tucking. I was gone for 10 days after I inserted the screen. By the time I got back many branches were just too long to tuck and level the canopy.

The nodes are nice and tight and the buds are filling in nicely. i just added cal-mag after detecting some mild deficiency in one plant.

I should pull close to 2lbs of finished product. Not a ton, but i have a perpetual grow so it keeps me way ahead on supply
