    Another noob setup post

    Actually, I did, even though it says you don't have to. I bet Flex Seal would be durable as hell!

    Another noob setup post

    That'll fit in a 2x4 just fine...as long as he controller is outside the tent. Otherwise, there are smaller HDX totes that might work better. I tried using plastic spray paint. I think the environment (light, heat, and humidity) caused some flaking to start, which is why I just went with...

    Another noob setup post

    HDX totes are the best. They are super strong and durable. Not to mention that they are around the same price as other totes. The yellow lids allow some light to pass through, so you'll want to use something to prevent that. Even though it absorbs light and heats up, I just used black...

    Which would produce more DO in a DWC?

    Yep, the bubbles make the roots spread out, so it's easier for DO to get to what would normally be a dense root ball.

    Which would produce more DO in a DWC?

    Thanks dude! This is actually fairly identical to the system I had running, earlier in this thread. But now, I'm going tentless, and switching from 1000w EH hps, to 4 x QB96 v2s. I also got new totes and pipes.

    Which would produce more DO in a DWC?

    We could probably call it a "hybrid", because I do have a waterfall going into the controller :) From what I learned about UC is that, at a minimum, you need a pump capable of circulating the total gallons in the system a total 9f 12 times an hour. So, if a system has a total of 100 gallons, a...

    Which would produce more DO in a DWC?

    Forgot to say that this IS an RDWC. The controller is the one with the yellow lid, where the pump manifolds are.

    Which would produce more DO in a DWC?

    Originally, I was going to go Undercurrent, but decided just to do an RDWC. My pump is only about 1/3 the size that would qualify as UC. But even with the right sized pump, I'm still not convinced DO would make it through the root masses as well as air stones. Especially the last roots in the...

    Which would produce more DO in a DWC?

    I like using stones, as opposed to just using a waterfall. I believe they are much more effective at providing DO to all the roots. Doing this also means I don't have to use a big water pump, which adds heat to the water. Undercurrent is a cool idea and all, but I'm not convinced that it...

    Which would produce more DO in a DWC?

    I actually like using the stones because I can put one beneath each root mass, and the bubbles make the roots spread out. The result is that all the roots, no matter how dense they would normally get, receive an abundance of bubbles.

    Which would produce more DO in a DWC?

    Slowly getting there... I'll be replacing my pump with an Alita 40 or 60, haven't decided yet. I'm only using four stones, but I want an abundance of bubbles. Anyone want to chime in? Keeping things nice and neat... Just started some White Widow Starting seeds in my cloner, using...

    BTW, it's perfectly natural to feel your gut drop, the first time you do your initial top, and chop your plant in half . You'll get used to it though, and you'll reap the benefits :)

    Wait until you have 6 sets of nodes (pairs of branches off the main stalk). Snip between the 4th and 5th sets of nodes. Don't worry, she'll be just fine. Then, trim off the lowest two nodes (1 and 2). At this point you'll have four main branches. You can also top those as well, which will...

    I understand. I promise, mid grow, that you will have already decided to do it next grow. It kind of goes hand in hand with indoor growing. Plenty of info out there. Know this, these plants are very resilient...as long as you love 'em :)

    Have you topped them? I can't tell.

    Looks good. I see some stretching, so you might want to think about moving your lights closer. Otherwise you can end up with lanky plants, and over spaced node sites

    Tent frame for utility, in grow room

    Well, it provides a lot of wind, and I thought it'd be useful. I'll just get some floor fans.

    Grew up in Phoenix, where they teach ceiling fan installation in the fourth grade LOL!

    I think I'm just going to take my fan down, and put up a regular light, so I can hang the LED lights.
