I use the same tubs but red lids. I have a shallow black tote on top of each one that covers the lid, the plants sit in the upper and roots are contained. No leaks from the lids unless spray nozzles are pointed toward the edge of the lid. I am hoping to run four and just swap lids with plants to each room depending on phase. I'll throw up a couple of pics tomorrow.

I'm actually just plugging it in tonight so yup I'll post some. I am at a crossroads though lol. I'm reslly thinking of going to pots with a drip system of sorts, or something lol. I was going to use either clay balls or coco but stearing towards clay if I go recirc. Any thoughts guys? Am I going backwards as opposed to forward? Its all about yield with low plant count and I need it fast, tall order I know lol. I'm going to start a thread in general section.

Yea, that 7' ceiling is a bummer-----that's why in my last location I set the ceiling height at 9'-----and that was just barely enough.

I really like your work around for the lighting-----kinda semi vertical grow with reflectors.

Have you ever tried scorg and your lights on movers?

I hear you about glancing at a meter and know what going on in the nute soup----biggest gripe I have about the tri-meters I have-----some of the connections are hard wired-----resulting in having to buy a whole damn meter if one goes bad.

Of the strains you listed----I've only grown the c99----I like that citrus smell and smoke.

2 months is about how long I like to veg under 1Ks hps-----I chose hps because IMO, the intensity more that compensated for the spectrum.

Yeah I went this route because the height kept having buds growing into the light but also the hoods I had were shaped to fit in those corners perfectly so I went with it. I can't wait for the day I have a 10 ft ceiling.

Yeah I scrogg . Have all the parts to build individual setups for each bucket but haven't gotten to them yet .

I have never vegged in HPS mot have to try

I could do a vertical under a seven foot ceiling very easily. I do like the tilted reflector compromise, but I'm telling you right now that you're losing more than you're gaining with those sealed and ventilated hoods.

Have to air cool the light through the summers because it gets to hot here but I take down once the temps drop into the 50's at night

Nice job on the hoods ----how has that venting method worked out for you?

I think you're going to be disappointed with that screen in the drain thing.

The venting is working for a slapped together conglomeration lol. 40 bucks for the whole system including gifted whole house hepa. Fuck!!!! Really! So copper mesh wont kind of do a root pruning thing. Well then I'm out of ideals lol. Any help would be appreciated. You seem to be kind of a pro tube grower and how are you dealing with roots. I was so worried about the roots I never plugged in the rails I drilled.

Sounds like this is a good thread. How did I miss it.

clydefrog, good to see your out of the system. Hope all works out well for you.

Alaric- nice set ups you have there.

Thanks eyes,

There are so many good threads I've missed here too. Perhaps because after a while they get buried or grow stagnant.

I don't know what the criteria is here to become a sticky?

Yeah, I hear ya on that. Im so busy looking at seedbank reviews and strains I never venture elsewhere. Some crazy stories/ adventures you have.. I think we all have adventures in this hobby/lifestyle of ours. Many of your setups are reminescent of many different contraptions I set up and tried throughout the years.

Well a lot of my book would be quite humorous with a bit of "holy shit you did that, what the fuck were you thinking", and a lot of what not to do when running a load :(. Those days are long gone and glad for it, the man is getting way to sophisticated for my liking now days :o. And the Mexicans way to cranky lol. I started growing at 15 and used the old mans rototiller/tractor to do my first one of about 50 bag seed Mexican ditch lol. We had a creek that had smelt run it in spring, thought hey that would make great fertilizer (you know the Indians using fish for corn thing), so got it all planted using strings to plant it in rows, yup fucking rows lol. Next few days there must have been a herd of raccoons come in and dug every seed up. I read somewhere cormorant poo was a great fertilizer so used a 14' boat to go out 20 miles in Lake Ontario to get a boat load (ya it was kinda wavy lol) by the time I got back most of the shit had blown out of the boat and pretty sure a I got a lung infection :(. Yup perhaps a book would be cool lol.

I remain impressed by your willingness to try anything and do what it takes.

A great thread, the knowledge you all have is amazing.

Im sure if all these stories were written down along with your growing knowledge it would make some interesting books.

Thanks gand3r,

I've thought about book/s-----just not enough sex and violence ( well maybe sex):D Besides that just plain ole lazy.

While in prison (crime school) I wished so much for a camcorder or at least a voice recorder.

Lol, one could say that about a lot of us.

Sup Yoda-----yes, stoned I am too,

I certainly second your statement "a lot of us."

Way I see it, there is a wealth of collective knowledge on these weed forums that I am grateful for.

BTW, have you seen the multi tier vertical set up Hot digity Sog has going? His journal is titled "12/12 from seed experiment " (from memory)

May the force be with you,
