Ok folks, as promised it's time to.....

"NAME THOSE STRAINS"
(1.) I've grown out multiple strains throughout this thread that were Whorled Phyllotaxy.....name 2 of them.
(2.) I got 2 taproots from this 1 seed.....name the strain.

The answers should be pretty easy to find since this thread is rather small, but just like the last game -there's rules.


Rules:
* You get (1) guess of all 3 strains I'm looking for per post.
* You can post with your 3 guesses as many times as you like in seperate posts.
* You MUST quote this original post with every guess.


First correct reply wins:

I just bought 2 of the small sized mixing tubs from Home Depot for $6 ea. I hooked up a 1/2" fill & 3/4" drain bulk head in each tub. 2 tubs per table. I use a 27 gal HD tote ($13 with the yellow lid at Home Depot) as the res for each table. I use 2 - 180gph pumps per res (one for each tub). 1 gallon pots (5 in each tub) and hydroton. Its been the most convenient, effective and inexpensive setup I've ever run.
I think I have about $70 invested into each table. Other than replaced pumps after 2 yrs, Im still using the same stuff I was on day 1 with the build. Breaks down easily for cleaning at every harvest too.

Saving this for my own selfish reasons and notes.

Never done F&D but you and this thread make it very intriguing. I could pop 1 of those tubs in a 2x4 tent. And have my way with seed runs and pheno hunts.Maybe squeeze two in it?

EDIT* Dammit I just read the thread and meant to save the post with the dimensions of the tubs too. Funny,I began to get a lil sad as I was catching up to the current posts.

The small mixing tubs I mention fit very nicely into the 27 gal tote if you want to bypass the tables and save on head space too. I just built tables because it was so much easier on my back. Exact same principle with the setup though.

Dude you are the fucking MAN.I mean that unapologetically.I was wondering how I was gonna deal with a table in a tent. 2 should fit snuggly in a 2x4 thanks Red.
I've been spoiled by my ppks systems.
I like to tinker,this is right up my alley.

Forgive my f&d noobness, It looks like your pots are a bit taller than the tub.Does the floodline just go as high as the clay pebbles in the pots? Or am I missing something?

edit: is it the bottom of the pots that get flooded, root flooding I guess thru the bottom holes?

Thanks,what are the tub dimensions?I want to run 2 tubs 5 plants each as you.One will suffice if 2 don't fit in a 2x4 tent. It's all the real estate I have available.

Correct. I set the flood depth with the fill and drain kit. You put collars on the drain side and it raises it up therefore increasing the flood height. I do my fill with no collar, and my drain with 1 collar. It puts my flood depth in the mixing tray about 3" or so. Just enough to get the lower half of the medium wet.
The mixing tub dimensions are 20" x 27-3/4" on the most outside edges. You should fit 2 of those beautifully in a 2x4 tent.
