Rent a moving truck for a day. Just make sure all the signal lights are functioning. You don't want to have a traffic stop over some useless shit. Move em in, strap them down and put a lock on it. Drive 2.4 miles over the speed limit. Do it all during their light period so you don't interrupt their cycle. If you are efficient, it shouldn't stress em out too much. They shouldn't even miss a flood cycle.

What did your idiot friend do???
This sounds like a good plan, thanks shnkrmn. My idiot friend told his land lord over 2 months early that he was going to be moving out so they want to come to the house a do some work before they show it to the next potential renters. The house owner is also a friend of ours, but I doubt that he would appreciate the efforts like we do. Had he just told him about a month early like he is required to do we could just finish this run without the stress on the girls.

my last whiteberry run vegged 6 weeks and had 5 ft plants with over a QP each on avg. this root bound talk is all bonk, in a flood tray you can rock a 3-4ft plant in a 5inch net pot
Question for you Morris. I'm not using my ebb and grow system this time. I just started a flower run of 6 plants in 5 inch netpots in a turbogarden flooded 5 times during lights on. There is no additional medium other than what is contained in the netpots. They grew from seed like this to 30 inch plants in 8 weeks. Very healthy and happy. Do you think I will have a reduced yield because of the lack of roots? I'm guessing that my biggest problem is keeping them from falling over when the buds start swelling. They looked like this ten days ago when I flipped to 12/12.

Don't get me wrong, I'm a confirmed ebb and grow guy. I just have to go with a lighter more mobile structure for a cycle or two. Trying to keep my production levels up in the face of challenges.

Are you using reverse osmosis water? Are you using magnesium supplementation? Plants use a lot of magnesium up to approx. 3 weeks into flower cycle. Do you have rust colored spots w/ yellowing on older leaves? Throw a pic up.

Good Luck
Would anyone care to look at my plants and provide me with feedback.. I use the Ebb and Grow and have yellowing and some discolored leaves.. Rep ++

Thanks BL

i just read from a few people that the growelf is far better than lowes or even the cap replacements. give them a shot. its about the same price.
ill be giving the STG's a shot in about one week, ill keep you informed. but i keep bringing it up and talking poop about it because im trying to see if anyone has anything better to say about them than negative.

I was using the cap system, four in total. I lost one controller in the middle of a feed cycle and that left my plants flooded, on easter while out at the families. Next cap went down because of the timer would not turn. love to cycle manually...that was a joke and the last straw. so to answer your thread i dont used cap i found so local guys how built a new system growelf. Nice and local for me. there system has been chugging a way without a problem. My medium lava stone. No need to customize water stays below inner bucket. I use all E and F for, veg. moms, bloom. the move is very easy all the inners are the same. I clean all buckets, and the rez once a week. The love the white bucket because I can see that they are clean. I was worried about the white, but they are UV rated. T that i havent notice anything diff when thinking about fungi. I use advance nutz with sensi as my base. LOVE my advanced, but a little spendy. Like your thread, and forgive my SPEELING. i grow better than i spell.
