don't forget boobies

there must be something wrong with the calculations....I have almost never made over 50k (why do you think I'm on this site?? lol) and have had to pay a whole lot of federal taxes over the years. Also, and more importantly, i'm not in the tea party movement but if someone walked into my space...

that sounds amazing. the automation opens up a whole realm of multi-site possibilities.... I found this link online: http://www.stealthhydroponics.com/product.php?xProd=135&xSec=27 not sure if its the right thing.....maybe 2 55 gallon reservoirs is the answer. they could each run 1 tube...

I'm going to build another flooded tube grow and remotely monitor it via the internet. I'd like to try and duplicate the auto-fill capability of heaths original res using toilet bowl guts and float....I figure a small camera looking at a trimeter would give me all the data required. I'm shooting...

here are a few....cool avatar, just got done jamming with my old kawai gb4. I changed my light out for an agrosun red 600w.....thought I was getting a little too much veg growth still and not enough sweet bud action. It seems to be working good after only 5 days. I left the system alone for...

Never messed with sulfur but I had the same problem with leaks out of a few sites....I cut/sawed the dams out with a sharp knife to get the water flowing again. Not sure what your dams are made of but I'd knock'em down.

I have been running 1.4 ec with ionic bloom and the ph is pretty steady at 6.0. Havent done anything but add bloom when I add a few gallons, no ph adjusters in the last 2 weeks. I'm really looking forward to the next run with all short plants, things will be far more under control. FWIW, the...

Here are a few pics....been real busy lately. Thanks for stoppin by, Jigfresh. The longest I have left it alone was 3 days, this thing really works well when everything is dialed in. I have been adding about 1.5 gallons per day recently, no leaks either. I estimate another 2 weeks or so and I...

thank you otacon!

Can you point me in the right direction for a book on what f7's are and plant breeding in general?

I think you could easily use the original dimensions and have no leakage. I checked every pot recently and my culprits were the leggy plants that I let veg for almost 4 weeks. If you start with indicas all fairly uniform I honestly think you could have a very fast running system and not get...

wow. like to have a few beans of that....just beautiful

Thanks for stopping by! I'm going to add the bypass to my large pump this coming week, the pic is much appreciated. I switched to 1.2 ec with ionic bloom and did some trimming. No more leaks but I want to add a screen as suggested in an earlier post. The pics are from yesterday, its quite a...

Had a small problem yesterday...apparently the larger plants on the top row caused a backup and a leak from one of the top sites. I pulled a rather large hermie and found the roots were almost 4 feet long, pic is included and yes the roots are touching the floor. I know that I vegged much too...

I haven't really done any....this is my first experience in hydro and I've never grown more than 3 plants at a time so its a bit overwhelming. Heath said to cut the lower weak growth but do you have any pruning advice?? There are branches everywhere here.....its just now starting to show little...

I changed most of the res today with great value distilled water from walmart. I also had to chop 12 males from the tubes, they were mostly sativa anyway, which is too lanky for this setup. I have already had to use fishing line to tie the remaining females to the roof. They were starting to...

Yeah the moving damn is fine but believe me the roots just explode in a very short time when they hit the running water...I wasnt able to completely remove the damns anyway, that plumbers goop stuff is permanent, I just stuck a sharp knife in the last open site and sawed off as much as I could...

By far the worst part of this project was the glue. I used an old body shop respirator and tried to do as much as I could in an open garage before moving it all back to the vert. Just nasty work. The worst part was the day after I finished I found an online supplier of euro soil pipe in...

After levelling the frame and adding braces for support I cut more pvc. Ended up making quite a few runs to lowes and harbor freight. I also needed to come up with an alternate way to hang the pipes, as the clamps used in the original were not available. I didnt like the j hangers at lowes so I...

After finally figuring out how to create a thread (I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed) I decided to start a grow journal. Dunno how to link it here but its called tripp's hillbilly flooded tube copy. Hopefully it will make it easier for us yanks trying to copy this fantastic system. All I can...
