WOW!!!!!!!! You should be working for NASA bro seriously!!!!!!! That design could be a Nobel prize just waiting to happen. Curious about yeilds??????

Yield varies but it's steadily climbing. Optimal yield is about 120g and loads of trim.

Amazing do you mainline them to not have height issue?Sour Kosher 37F.

No I top them early and train them under a pot stand that functions as a kind of SCROG see http://imgur.com/a/x67uU
Timing the flip correctly is also important

Very good. It seems you have consistent results. How many watts per bin? Yield per watt? I hate to ask such unimaginative questions but I'm in need of some kind of comparison.
I'm planning a very large output cob led lighting array. This is clearly a contender for best use of wattage award, lol

Each bin lid draws 120W and yield is in the 100 - 120G range. The side lighting uses a lot of power, another 100W.
Best yield to date produced .85GPW but that doesn't take into account the inefficient side lighting. Factoring the side lighting in drops the GPW down to 0.5.

I've dropped the ball unfortunately. I've been so focused with my Sour Kosher that I've neglected the others.
About two months ago I started mixing big batches of flowering nutes. Full strength Canna Classic, H&G Multizyme, Bud-XL, pH set at 5.5 and aerated with an air stone for five hours, I figured the extra dissolved oxygen couldn't hurt in a hempy situation. I'd use half the batch immediately and the other half four days later. Prior to this I'd been mixing each feed individually in smaller batches, it was a lot more work.
I never bothered to check the pH of the mix on the second watering and I didn't know that it was rising all on its on to about 6.5 over four days. The first problem I noticed was what I identified as a phosphorous deficiency. This triggered the checking of the pH of the second watering. So I fixed that.
But I didn't do anything else. Didn't flush or reduce the PPM. The Bubbas Gift started to show some nitrogen clawing and then severe nute burn that I neglected to attend to, the Critical Kush is a little burnt and the signs of the original deficiency remains. I suspect the strong feeds had also left a salt buildup.
So I've run 20L of water through each of the affected plants and reduced them to a half feed, they're already looking better but my neglect shows. I'll chalk this up to learning. The Critical Kush will probably crop up well but Bubbas Gift will probably go straight into edibles.
But how about the Sour Kosher! All that abuse and look at her! I think I've found my favourite strain. I'm going to reveg her and take clones.

Never seen anything like this. Is this your own design @BinGrower

In part. Most of the ground work was laid out by the spacebuckets crew. I just supersized them and hooked them all together around a manifold. I'll take the credit for growing them through a hole in the bottom of the bucket. I hadn't seen anyone do that before.

Shit happens sometimes but im faithful in your growing skills to take them to the finish decently!! Don't make this mistake again or you will be fired lolI've dropped the ball unfortunately. I've been so focused with my Sour Kosher that I've neglected the others.

@BinGrower Could you possibly explain / give some more pictures of how your watering system works? I see the bottle on the side to put in the nutrients / water but don't understand how / where it goes (I see the PVC elbow, does it just drip down the side and fill or..?). Also, I noticed you said the waste is evaporated, do you have much problem with that or is generally pretty good and how much do you water per day or per watering? Sorry for all the questions, I'm just doing something very similar and would like the valuable insight!
