Bman, I bought everything separate because it's a little cheaper. I got these parts on eBay and I bought a 32 gallon black trash can with a lid to use as a reservoir. You can connect 48 buckets to the controller and each expansion kit has 6 buckets, I bought one eexpansion kit to start to see how I liked the ebb buckets, then when I realized I liked them I bought another expansion so I have 12 buckets now. So about 300$ for everything you need to run 6 buckets and $360 for 12 buckets. It saves a nice chunk of change by buying the parts separate like this . I'm sure it's cheaper to build a controller bucket but I just wanted something pre-made with a warranty

they get anywhere from 18-24 depending where i stick them.this time they are in my veg room with 20 hrs light and i put then at the end of my t8 with duel 13 watt bulbs and it doesnt put much light where i put them. the rest time allows the plant to make roots ect.

It's only a 5x5 tent but it's 80" tall so I can grow much bigger plantswith out worrying about the distance to the light, preferably I'd run 9 plants that are a little bigger but this round I'm doing 12 smaller plants and I've been lsting the crap out of them to get as many tops as possible and keep them a little shorter. I have a 1000w in there but would much rather run 2 600s but I just don't have the budget until next year to get the 600s. 2 600s in that size tent with that system would crush 1g per Watt even with a novice grower (I'd imagine anyway) I've gotten a gpw a couple times in the same space with a 1000w hps, but oh man 600s are my dream lol. I'd be glad to help ya if you decide to get the equipment. Once it's all dialed in its so easy to maintain. Since I've switched to a 1 part powder nute line I am having no trouble running multiple strains with the same nute strength, which is a huge plus considering I get tired of smoking the same strain over a extended period of time. I ran into problems running two strains in the system with a 3 part nute so I would advise against using multipart nutes with multiple strains, veg+bloom is what I use, bbut maxi bloom is also a cheaper one part nute line.

Thanks.man yeah I will definitely be talking to.you about this probably sometime in.February is when.I'll.be setting.up a new system providing this grow I have going.now works out the way I want so.I can afford to.do.some major upgrades but thanks.man I would definitely want to do multiple strains.so.that one part nute sounds perfect but what exactly.is lsting I've never done that

Lst is when you tie the branches down, and each node becomes a new top, so say there is 5 nodes on a branch, if you tie it down so it's horizontal, you will have 5 new tops instead of one top. The good thing about lst is there is no stress to the plant (lst=low stress training)

I use string and duct tape and leave it tied down permanently. Here's some pics, it's hard to see because the hps was on. I also top the new tops that form and it gives me double the tops

Yeah it.is kind if.hard to.see but May be I.can look up on YouTubeor something but when is good to start that and is it to late if I'm getting.ready to put my girls into flower here soon? what strain ya got going there btw
