Maybe if I had 4 of them I wouldn't have to grow them so big. They ran perfect this grow till this late stage in flower. They ran out of root space. The leak is totally my screw up.
i can get all we need from 4 at a time. i usually do multi strains which makes it a bit harder to dial every plant in.
How many plants are drinking all that?
That first run on that setup yielded around a pound a plant.
You know that's about how big my old plants stock was. My new ones are bigger i think lol. Its hard to tell but its crazy. Its like a big ball ill snap a pic when my lights go on. Maybe I'm just growing monsters lol.
Yeah my last plant got me only 8oz but I had to harvest at the end of week fuor from rot. The plant struggled the whole grow. They hydroton was full of disgusting goo and wouldn't let water pass through. I'm clueless as to what I can expect right now, its a lot more than last time and I still going. I'll try to finish the whole 8 weeks. I'll snap some pics of everything in 4 hours when lights go on. This is by far my best grow ever and I am impressed with what I got so far.
i had to explain this to somebody here about a year ago:
I figured it would help but I thought people make the waterfalls high pressure to make turbulence and bubbles. I do run it constantly as apposed to last grow I put it on a timer. Last grow the timer helped but it was due to drainage problems that are resolved. I also have a 4 inch bubbler in each bucket and one in the res.
Most use a separate pump to circulate the chiller, the main pump puts water into the totes and the undercurrent flows back to the res it’s being pumped out of.
Thank you
you'd be surprised at just how much DO is created just by a few drops. but obviously, the more the better.
i totalyy isolated my chiller. it was a closed loop. a 5 gal bucket, a stainless steel wort chiller in the control res and a small pump to circulate
I had to look up a wort chiller. Its new to me. It looks like just a coil, does that attack to the chiller to keep nutrients out of the chiller but still cool the res? Thats a fantastic idea.
Yeah that’s pretty slick, I might look into that later, I’m trying to get co2 setup, take that plunge I guess, don’t want to vent to a lung room anymore.
now you are making me miss my rdwc setup!!!!! it was fun to grow like that: like running full speed ahead all the time.
Mines only 5 months old, I have no idea how to service it, my tubs and water were pretty clean all the way threw, set the chiller at 64 and went with it for 4 months.
