I keep pokin at ms kitty to take some pics. Today we have a fence being installed, so with contractors on site, we wont be too active till the end of the week.
Nah, just some welded wire fence thats dipped in black plastic of some sort. It's only 4 feet tall. Set a perimeter, rather than scream "oh snap look here" You can barely see the fence unless your up on it. Helps dogs piss without me wondering where they are.getting your security in line?
It's a SONY DSC-HX5VLove the panoramic shots..mind if I ask you guys what kind of camera
ahahahaha this is true!All you gotta do is date someone who loves weed. I never understood the guys who date non-stoner chicks when they are super stoners themselves......... Never works out
Nute solution temps are critical with NFT/Aero/DWC. Ideal solution temps is 68°F to prevent disease and allow high dissolved oxygen and nutrient uptake. In MANY cases, this requires a chiller.any way this is my first time seeing Ebb&grow( ya newb , but am really a soil guy trng to get into some hydro prolly gonna start with some DWC) , and i din't really read every page it was more like a skimming so ad like to ask why the ebb&grow for all the plants, wouldn't some NFT or aeroponic system be easier (not hating am actually really curious ) but any way all in all you guys do great growing
Sorry, missed the question earlier. I've tried Aeroponics/drip systems as well as ebb & flow trays in the past. The lines like to clog, the pumps like to die, and if either of this happens bye bye plants. Ebb & Grow is great because you just add buckets. Hydroton is the worlds most perfect growing medium.well been going over this thread, you guys do good work , i swear where the fuck you find a girl who will grow with you do i have to move to Canada or something. any way this is my first time seeing Ebb&grow( ya newb , but am really a soil guy trng to get into some hydro prolly gonna start with some DWC) , and i din't really read every page it was more like a skimming so ad like to ask why the ebb&grow for all the plants, wouldn't some NFT or aeroponic system be easier (not hating am actually really curious ) but any way all in all you guys do great growing

This is not an issue with Ebb-Flow or drip systems. For someone starting off with hydro, it is hard to beat a Hempy bucket. Sterile medium, gives you a chance to master all that goes along with soiless growing without a lot of complexity. Easy to automate with a drip system. Cheap to get into, easy to move onto more complex systems later with more experience.
well that changes my out look on hydro, i was thinking rdwc now looks like i need to do more research, i have a tomato in a DWC homemade pot and i did it to test my nutes but if i ever decided to really grow multiple plants i guess its not practicalSorry, missed the question earlier.

I do believe if you priced out two systems, one like mine and then the NFT/AERO/DWC style, that mine would be much less expensive in hardware, much more reliable, much easier to maintain, and much easier to re-plumb/re-wire if you want to move things around. A real long time was put into the decision to use this type of a system.
The only other system I would consider is an UnderCurrent (UC16XL!). Those are much more expensive (2-3x) plus you need a water chiller (or pond chiller ). They do, grow the best weed around, though!
Check out thcfarmer.com if you're interested in the UnderCurrent systems. RIU doesnt have any good grows with them, yet. thcfarmer.com seems to be where the craze is on the UnderCurrents, there's probably a few dozen grow journals with them being used. They just plain rock, but $$$$$$$$$$ and soooooooo many important critical parts that can breakwell that changes my out look on hydro, i was thinking rdwc now looks like i need to do more research, i have a tomato in a DWC homemade pot and i did it to test my nutes but if i ever decided to really grow multiple plants i guess its not practical

Yup, I used to have a bunch of them. They are cute, and wicked cool for small grows in apartments or condos or townhomes or whatever, but for the $$$ you can setup a 4000w ebb and grow system. I'd strongly recommend the BloomBox or the Producer, most everything else they sell is just overpriced pretty stuff. The BloomBox you'll get about a pound off of each harvest and the Producer close to 1 3/4 lb. Small indica only plants, though. Nothing that gets tall.hey kitty ever heard of BC Northern lights..those systems are my wet dream but talk about expensive...sheesh.
That's close. It's a home made version of the UnderCurrent. UnderCurrent is the name of the systems.ON GUARD

or at least I think that's undercurrent??
