hey so i talked to greentrees today and they are going to be making a 4 gallon bucket system like CAP's monster system. i'll be doing testing in a few months when its ready 
how is your chiller working out did you get it setup yet im going to run it in my room to see the difference since i have 2 48 site systems in the same room with separate res i can cool one and leave one alone to test difference in growth.

filled that sucker up with water tonite, hell, you can expect maybe a 2 degree fluctuation in water temps if you're conditions are anything like mine. I set the chiller on 64 let it get to that temp then filled 6 empty buckets for 30 minutes . when the drain completed it temp was 66. you overbought on the chiller just like me but thats the only guarantee its gonna work and work well. And thanks dr, I certainly do need to get this running, I think tomorrow I'll def fill 5 of the buckets, I have some shit thats gonna get out of hand.

hey DB you going with hydrotron or growdan? as for the chiller overkill is good so your saying if my water is 75 I should be able to get 64/65 easy?

hell I just chilled mine down to 62 for the hell of it, I have no plants in and am not filling/draining now anyway, tomorrow I intend to fill some empty pots though, after the day job that is :\
And I'm using Dyna-rok II, its 90 percent silica. expensive stuff but if it works like it says money well spent, it absorbs 150 percent its weight. I'm really not sure of what kind of feeding schedule to follow but its not rocket science I guess.

so far with hydrotron and growdan they like my flood timing might be a good place for you to start

thats a great deal im definately considering running a chiller in my warehouse i had pictures of. my nutes get pretty warm in there because they are in the open warehouse area where i have all the lights exhaust into plus it has a metal roof so its like a god damn sauna during the day in there, i have 3 big roof exhaust fans but they dont help much in a 3600 sq ft. warehouse. i think the warm nutes is the culprit to some weird issues im having in this room that i've never experienced before.

that half horse I believe is rated for something like 300 gallons.

yassir, probably a nice indica sounds good, that and a xan. I'm putting my shit in flower tomorrow one way or another! I probably should have put my roks in and conditioned them tonite eh? is there a need or do I mix it up and go? or do I mix it up then flood and drain a few times without any plants in? I sure hope not because that will be a pain in my ass.

just do a quick rinse and load it up then cycle a couple floods and watch the ph then adjust and throw them in.

Right on, and I'll try your schedule, I was thinking 4 times a day for 15 minutes but I dunno, it depends on these roks I guess.

with 4x4 cubes that is a good timing sched for veg in flower 6 times a day works good to keep them going.
