Cold$moke's Frost heave

drgreentm said:
Thank you very much, I have dreamt about this build for some time now, especially the low profile trays (or troughs as I call them).
I started a journal of it pretty much start to finish buildout but stupid me started in the indoor section, should have started it here maybe mods can move it over.

Ya I have everything at 1150w tonight and temps are still only 72 in the room, I really want to give some LED a go in the near future.

Drop in my thread sometime man if you would like...

I'm subbed. Setup looks clean man, props. Hope you have better luck with the TH Bubblegum than I did. I was amped on it but was disappointed with the 5 seeds I popped. It looked pretty but final product was meh.
 
Yea last th seed product i had was ....shit i cant even remember it was that good :) i think it was the hog or somthing eles in that time frame.(years ago when they where popular)


Didnt wow me either so i never bought them much after that

The list in the veg room is me clearing out my old freebies for new seeds coming in :)


Thanks for dropping in @klx

For heat and led in the summer cause of the heat lol.

exactly my thoughts, I got 300 watts of QB's and two cmh for the summer. I just turned my single gavita down to 600 and cranked up my other one.
You have a clean op man. subbed.

Out of those i only paid for the exodus.

Outa all the differnt strains ive grown over the years (mabey 40?) At least 30 plus for sure mabey in the 50s lol

I havent been too overly wowed by anything.

With the exception of
Dna lemon skunk from back in the day(fucking bomb in all regaurds)
Paradise white berry from back in the day (tastey and a great plant)
Big buddah cheesus from bitd
Dutch passion blueberry
Rare dankness? Lima bean og (straight fire )
Some tga stuff was good think it was timewarp

And others bodhi is good GGG was good.

But to be honest i dont buy twice unless im wowed. And i have bought other DNA. Stuff chocolope and wasnt wowed.

But i rebought the lemon skunk from DNA. And green house(eek) to try and find the same pheno i had :(

I also bought white berry again cuase i remember being so fond of it just a tastey smoke.

But its super rare if i even buy from the same breeder again unless i find something special

@drgreentm

How does your set up work

Is it like a capns flood and drain? Or just a gaint top feed dtw

It’s a top feed recirculating 8 troughs each housing 4-7gallon pots using chunky perlite #4 for grow medium. each pot has a 12” feed ring with 6 small holes around it to saturate evenly. The whole room can run 32 plants, 150 gallon vertical res, running two 1/4 hp 1400 gph pumps one for feed and one for return. All the troughs are tilted to the center of the room to collect the runoff each trough has a 2” shower drain in the low side that runs to a control bucket with float switches, when float goes up it kicks on the return pump back to the res. The brains of it all is a hunter x-core sprinkler timer and two solenoid valves that splits my room in two zones so one waters then the other immediately after to alleviate the pumps duty.

Here is a crappy video lol kinda long but shows how it water and all that.


One of my chems rolling into five weeks veg.
