I guess it would since it shouldnt go all the way through cause they are angled, thanks HR! What type of Molasses do you use for your tea? I dont like Blackstrap Molasses, thats what I got. Do you ever put Orca in your teas?

Peace

Whats wrong with blackstrap that stuffs he shit. I use it and succanat when I make teas i run it in my waterfarm ;)
 
There's some other shit called high brix you can run its essentially plant sugars. Not sure if it works better han Molases but I'm sure it would work really good
 
Well beings that i can sleep iv been reading up on uc ( under current ) and im inpressed to say the least!
So much so that im thinking of retiring the ebb! And building a UC 16 site for my 10x14 room. The shear
Mass of growth and yield off those systems are crazy lol! And the truth is im bored of the ebb and want a
New chalenge.

go talk to kid tex at the bay. they have a whole UC section there. its good shit BUT everyone says its tricky to dial in and you do NOT want it to be your standalone for your first attempt.. have at least one ebb still going.. other than that these systems are straight fire! my next room will be UC fo SHO!

16? to much?! I know a dude here, that runs 3 plant with 3 600's and pulss 2.5-3lbs a harvest! hes a mmj patient here and runs 2 rooms with his alotted count of 12!! uc is dope
 
wats going on HR? i read through the first 200 pages and then i started skimming through. are you still running only the AN nutes? did you finish building that room you were working on?

That's what the fuck I am talking about too. I have two rooms that size ready to go. I read secrets of the westcoast dudes and I want to scrog like that using UC. When are you starting?
Definetly keep the ebb going until that bitch is dialed in.

Maybe il drop back to a 10 site uc. So am i geting in over my head here cause it looks so simple!
Only draw back i see is the shear volume of water running 24 in the system
 
What's the difference between that an uc? I noticed that it said it used pressure to recirculate it or something like that, also allowed for more dissolved oxygen in the water. But IMO wouldn't you be able to just beef up the ebb an grow an it'd be the same concept? I'm just not sure how it operates yet
 
Ok just did a little research on it, and I'm thinkin you can convert your ebb and grow to it relatively easy. I think the hardest part would be is to recreate the controller bucket. Looks super bad ass though

word. the water is everyones issue, your looking at a liter of air per gallon of water which could be a 100 liter air pump!! plus the appropriate rez temps are key.. I have been doing a shit ton of research on the UC and it is the future. but yeah its a lot trickier than it looks on the front, lots of A/C (when I said 3 plants and 3 600's i should have said 3 600's per plant..) Heath robinson does a UC grow too, google it BUT the tex guy know his shit, and that other place does have a good tight little UC community going..

i'm going to kick a uc room in about 12 weeks, just waiting for this ebb and flow to finish up so i can install a new mini-split for the gro-n-flo room and for the new UC room..

its cool shit.


insaneMJ, a convert would be silly, just build new..
 
From what i read 8 gal no less on the planter buckets and im not looking into altering my ebb in anywa, just
Incase i go back to it :) as for lighting im thiking x8 600 in a 10x14 with 8 to 10 UC site and a 1 1/2 hp
Chiller and tea for bennys!


Hey cerberus can you post those links to those units in action?
 
maine thread

texas kid

hope this doesn't ruffle to many feathers.. if it helps at all, i'm always thinking about this site when over at that other dirty dirty place ;)

word man! a chiller is paramount! its getting late on he right coast dog, i'll find heaths grow tommorow..
 
Well I like to recycle what I have rather then buying a lot of the same products. The old system would have smaller pots yes, but from what I read for a 4-6 foot tall plant it only needs like 2 weeks of veg before the flip due to the increase of nutes/water uptake. So if you stuck with the smaller pots you'd be able to cut the veg time down even more because the plant wont be as big(3.5-4 ft). Then you'd be able to flip to flower quicker. Kinda like a flood table where you keep your plant number high while cutting down the veg time. Also it wouldn't be hard to convert it just drill a bunch of holes on the opposite side lol, since they have a drain hole already. Maybe I'm not grasping the full concept yet? Lol

One things for sure, I love learning new techniques.
