Ya, RIU is where the cool folks are. :) If you want to see some 60,000 watt grows that are balls to the walls bonkers thcfarmer is probably home to the biggest indoor growers I've ever seen. My grow looks like peanuts over there............... RIU has a lot of CFL to 4,000 watt grows, not a whole ton on the huge side, never knew why really............ I think we're more casual growers here I guess? *shrug*. :)

yeah im sure it feels like it on your part considering if your in cali doing the medi thing they dont care they will rape you if they think your making too much. They like to keep you under their thumb. But hey at least you dont get fucked with driving down the street if your a state patient like me. I just have to worry if my op gets too big to keep quiet you know? Props kitty stick it to em.

Your not kidding about thcfarmer. i never herd of the place till you mentioned it. I signed up and have been looking at all the grows, they are crazy big. It seems like there is a bunch of hype over there for the UC systems. they look pretty cool if your growing some tree's which most of those guys are.

I will probably buy an Under Current 16XL (UC16XL is the product code) for Flower Room C. It only needs 4 plants per light but they grow SO fast its insane. I really think the best bud possible is from Under Current systems. The buckets, however, are much cheaper. At $1600-ish for the UC16XL which works with 4 1000w lamps, is pretty expensive when a C.A.P Bucket style system is much cheaper. Plus, the Under Currents really require a water chiller, so I need to get that setup to water cool lights and then another res for the UC. Expect more from me on this probably around March or April 2011..... :-)

Time for a photo update...............


#113 - Instead of plumbing up buckets with straight up hosing from the control bucket, I decided to do PVC this time. I've never ever worked on PVC before except installing the sink also in the reservoir room. The nuts'n'bolts of it are 3/4" PVC pipe with 3/4" to 1/2" reducers to each blue tubing.



#114 - Each blue line will water 12 2 gallon buckets. If I want more flow, I can simply uncap the end and run the line to the other end of the pack of buckets and feed them from both sides.



#115 - Its one 55 gallon reservoir for 3000 watts of plants (48 plants) with 2 gallon buckets.



#116 - Here's where the PVC comes into the control bucket room. I opted to plumb it this way because its what I had parts for and never really knew how before either. Overall, I like it. Ignore the water on the floor, that was from a leak that was fixed. =)



#117 - I keep forgetting to buy the lids to the control buckets from home depot. Blue line inside is for water out, and the white pvc is the water in, of which both connect via pvc to the reservoirs..........



#118 - ..........just like this! Still have to mount the pvc to the wall permanantly for now its just dangling there. ;)



#119 - Check on the plants in Flower Room A (28 plants)..... They are in the middle of week 4 flowering.....



#120 - Good bud structures forming, not a hint of nutrient burn anywhere on any of the plants. We're at 1250ppm right now and around 5.8 ph.



#121 - By the way, no CO2, and not even a room intake fan just two oscillating fans. Lots of buds for the middle of week 4 with awkward room environments.



#122 - More porn



#123 - What a difference 2 weeks extra in veg makes...........



#125 - Now to the veg room........ Sprouts in rockwool finishing up rooting, transplanting them in a day or two.



#126 - A completely full 4'x8' flood tray.........



#127 - Also had a light upgrade, put the 406watt in there. Still have to mylar it, but will do that after these get out of here I think.



#128 - I folar feed them twice or three times a day. They LOVE it.



#129 - The rockwool in the tray were planted a day before these, and these were already fully rooted in the rapidrooter cubes which I'll be switching to permanantly from now on.



#130 - Some clones and some seeds all in various stages..........




That's all for now! Thanks again for the compliments everyone, I try to reply to the questions rather than each reply, but I read em all and its greatly appreciated. :)

i think your said it earlier, that lake will provide amazing cooling for both your UC and your hoods. man you could keep everything you need at perfect temperatures with almost nothing more than a few pumps to keep things moving. that would be a dream for me. I may be able to build my next room on a piece of property with the river water table a foot under ground. its almost a swamp, but very stable. i was thinking about using the underground water with some coils burried in it for a similar set up like your thinking.
this is cool. nice work.

You said you have a 4x8 flood tray and I see you have some plants in buckets, some in solo cups and some others in solo cups inside plastic bins. is this some sort of rotation you have going and how do the buckets and solo cups get water? Are there holes in the bottoms and/or sides of the cups and buckets and what about the ones in the plastic bins?
