Thanks....... I dont know what I have into buckets, but for each "six pack" (which is 12 buckets, 25' of tubing, and a bunch of t's and grommets) that is about $60 shipped. Then x however many there are..... I've run black, white, yellow, red, all buckets always are fine. Light and algae is never a problem...........

hey kitty much props for this entire grow you have going on. you really make it apparent just how much work and dedication goes into your product. I was wondering about your mushroom operation though? You still got that going on? I know when I first started following this you had a pretty good setup going on but I don't wanna go back and find which page it was on. anyway i was just curious to see how that was going. cheers.

Hi there miss kitty, I think NG has some good advice to try it on a couple plants and see how it works out for you(1800 seems crazy high to me, but I am not super familiar with this style of growing), I know what you mean about if it ain't broke don't fix it, but looks like you could spare a plant or two if you wanted, LOL

I've discontinued the foliar in veg for now, ppm was never an issue for Humbold in the last 2 years of using them, and Verde is new to the mix, so we'll see how it goes. The leaves already look better. 
ok ....two things. first one has to do with all you guys talking about busts and what not. be careful about what you shoot your images with. some devices will give location in the exif data. cells and other enabled devices. i sent an image to my buddy and he saved it to his device and it showed the location of the image. so careful on that. and the second issue is the deal with humboldt nutes customer service....thats rad. emerald triangle sent me a ton of stuff and shirts and bonus stuff because i called them about some additive that had some mold in it. its great when an outfit stands behind their gear after its left the store. good luck on your endeavor

Good advice on the cameras. My camera is some piece of crap from 2005, doesnt store any location data nor data about anything other than the time. Plus, rollitup's image processor *should* now strip all of the meta data but many sites wont! Some even feature the preservation of it like flickr.
ThanksLooking awesome over there... clever use of the zip ties with the carbon filters/board
I think i'm going to use bungee cord to hang mine
These ties are VERY strong. Impossible for the carbon filters weight to break it. I know because I hung em from the ceiling and it held my weight (113 lbs) as long as I could grab them with my fists! We have another 8" Vortex (700cfm or so I think) on the way, that'll be for Flower A's ventilation. I'll re-do the first fans install then so that all three total are hanging like that.

No clue! The first harvest was 4000w for 2 lbs 11 oz, but those plants had a loooooooooooooot of issues, it was just a 'lets get it going now' harvest. The new plants with 44 or so under 3000w of lights that get harvested on the 21st I hope would yield around 4-5 lbs. It'd be nice, but I also dont have co2. We'll see how it goes soon!

so first are you going to be adding co2? Now onto a different topic I just started DWC and have some vegging right now but i noticed the other day a ring around the bucket of hyroton dust, was wondering if this is normal? or did i just not wash it enough?No clue!
