What color was the floor before? You think that will have even the slightest affect with less light reflection from the floor onto your undergrowth?

I’m probably being silly. Haha. My hydro trays are black, lol

It was white before. This is probably gonna sound lame but the regalia was staining the floor badly. TSP wouldn't even remove it and it was driving me insane. I figured the trays I would put in are black so might as well go black and hide the stains.

And that's a wrap!

We harvested Saturday morning. I'm not sure about weight, but from appearances I think this may be my largest harvest so far. Without doubt my best bag appeal harvest. I'll update with final weights next week.

Even the short plant had big dense buds all the way down.

Final weights are in. 594.5 grams. Bested my previous largest grow by more than 60 grams... with three little plants that had practically no veg. :shock:

I've never had a grow that didn't at least have some larf. These plants were big dense buds all the way to the bottom.

I installed the carrots in the babies over the weekend and they're on cruise control. I'll continue to use this thread for updates since they're the same strain.

I’m convinced-and have a pack on the way, thanks Black Friday and DCSE.

That'll be my next run. They'll be fire if they're anything like meltdown.

Super impressive, you deserve the “I’m not worthy” bow.
You’ve really piqued my interest in the blumats as well as the genetics. Thanks for taking the time to share.

Thanks. I don't have experience with other drip irrigation systems, I came from DWC. I do love how simple it is. No pumps or anything like needed. It's all gravity based and power agnostic.

Good luck with your new seeds and make sure you start a journal.

Looking great, I’m in awe of the form, function and cleanliness of your setup, honestly I’m kind of shamed by it, lol, it’s inspiring though.
Noticed you mentioned the RO buddy earlier in the thread. In researching it, I noticed it recommended particular operating temperatures and pressures-if you don’t mind questions- in your experience did you find those variables relevant?
If I can abuse your generosity further, I’m trying to wrap my head around the blumats- in general, I’m curious about individual container size related to reservoir needs/volume of sol’n used weekly, etc. ( all specific to environment, growth stage, etc I realize) just ballpark.
(At your suggestion, journal pending- seeds are down)
Many thanks.

Thanks I have mild OCD, things being out of place or messy really irritates me lol.

I didn't read that about the RO buddy. Just set it up and let it run. I was getting 0ppm water from it. It did take me about 10 - 12 hours to make 15 gallons and wasted a lot of water. I'm just running regular tap water now, I mix my nutrients and let it sit with an air stone for 24 hours. Honestly I can't see a difference between the two. I'm also no longer using beneficial bacteria so I'm not concerned about chlorine.

I have a 15 gallon tote on top of my cabinet, that's the largest container I can fit up there. With three plants that was large enough to last a week with 2 gallon pots in both veg and flower. I did my first res change on the weekend with 11 plants and it was pretty much bone dry after six days. These are regular seeds so I will pull the males as soon as I can identify them. Something to keep in mind are pot size. 1 - 2 gallons you can get away with one carrot, three gallons you'll want two and five gallons you'll need three. Also stay away from nutrients that have organic compounds. I was running an sensi coco and was having problems with sediment in the lines. Everything is nice and clean with GH flora series.
