Thats what im talking about! Thats sweet bro! i wana make something awesome and i got the next 3 months to figure something out
6" air stone in bottom, black silicone air line, aquarium digital thermostat, Uline food grade bucket, reflectix insulation from home depot, 4" net pot. Haven't decided if I'm gonna split the bottom to drain, or just make a duplicate bucket so I can get one ready, transfer plant, then clean old one for next transfer. Weekly transfers if I'm not recirculating.

Could have a reservoir bucket that you can open and close have the sub pump in the resv with a recirulating airline that feeds to the plant bucket that has the airstone in there and goes back into the resv. Do intervals of like every 15 min spray. Shit idk there r soooo many variations lol

If I do it, I'll probably run a chiller with stainless steel wort chiller elements in the buckets. Air stone 24/7 in each bucket. No external res. Maintain them individually for greater flexibility.

My favorite is green twist ties. The pots I have, have a lip on the edge and I can just bend a little hook for the stem and a little hook for the lip. Super easy to adjust and put on or take off.

Does your pot have a built in catch pan? If it does, I'd rip that off and use a larger size catch pan you can dump out. Built in ones are a good way to drown/rot your roots.
No my catch pan is separate bud and thanks for the tip

Thanks for the inspiration! Im curious to see what these leds do. With the calculations of my setup im getting about 90w psf but as i mentioned b4 i should get a kilawatt to see what im drawing from the wall. Especially next round cuz i topped and lst i hope i can make that Mark.
When i chopped off the cola with stem one was 25gs wet and the other was 22gs wet with stem. They are hang drying in the dark with a fan indirectly blowing in there. Sometime during the week if ready ill debone the bud and get another weight before i throw em in jars to cure

I've seen dudes tossing them in cure jars. They keep a steady RH for the cure. You still burp em, but keeps it optimum, and keeps from getting too dry as well.

I've heard of em. Humidity has been around 60 in my home. Hopefully they can cure without em. I think if i were to use those id use em if i ever happened to overdry. I got all the time in the world to watch over the bud. If i can get away from spending the 12$ for those and put it towards something i need like either more soil pots or to upgrade the light and ventilation something that will benefit the box Im all for it!

Oh and the 2 plants in flower r same strain but have different smells and some chatactristics so ive been monitoring each different one the whole way thru. Try and make improvements for next time and such things like that. I think the one in veg now is guna triumph over all them in flower now when done. Just tryna get better amd better and find out whats best for me. I always seem like that guy who is never satisfied with what i have and always tryna find ways to improve i believe i have a natural green thumb. Im denver born but reside in illinois. All my family live in legal states including washington which im kinda jealous about. Man i hope they pass it here soon. What i got going on is just a misdemeanor if i ever got caught that's why i don't run more than 4. But fk the system lol
