SOG DIY Ebb and Flow in a Homebox L (39.5"x39.5")

Most of it is in my journal. I made a 1/2" PVC manifold based on StinkBud's design with a 320 gph pump and 4 sprayers. I have a 15 gallon air pump, the air line runs through the grommet in the bucket lid with a couple small airstones.

Thought I'd post some pics at day 41, tomorrow night will be six weeks. Here are a couple comparisons between the current six week and four week plants:

Here are some pics of the three plants in the first batch at 41 days. Plants 1 and two are from the same mom, plant three is from a different mom and has a leafier phenotype and less staggered nodes.

Here is plant 1:

Some trichome pics using my magnifier and macro setting on a digital camera. I usually fuck them up pretty bad trying to look at them, heh.

Thanks! They are getting so close. I have enough mother/clone material to get a bigger tent and another light, going to order most of the stuff I need in the next week or two. I plan on getting a DarkRoom 240W (they just got them at the local hydro shop), adding another 600w light, and two off the shelf 3x3 tables (could probably use one 1000w light instead). Currently I use the same exhaust for my light and scrubber and I like the way the Darkroom has separate ports for the room exhaust and the light exhaust. I have an old CO2 regulator lying around so once I get everything put together I'd like to get eventually get this in there:

I'll get there in the next couple of months.
 
They look great, do you flower clones straight after the 2 weeks in the cloner? I'm also cloning with aero, love the 100 percent success rate but I have 2 questions, do you feel you could have used smaller buckets/pots to allow more clones or does it seem pretty crowded as is? Also, what strain is that?

Yes. There is more info about my cloner in my journal.

Maybe, but I wanted to use 8" pots. The 2 gallon buckets are 10" across. Al B. Fuct gets at least a zip per plant in 8" pots so I went with that.

I could have easily fit four in there and figured a way to put the overflow in the middle but it was a lot easier to cut the PVC for three stations. I've read of people yielding trees up to 1 lb using 3.5g buckets instead of 2g.

The original design that I found on the net uses 2 liter bottles and 16oz cups for pots, but I really didn't want that many clones, the small pot size seemed like it could lead to difficulties, and they are growing tomatoes and stuff. The 3.5g design I saw did have relevant pics though, but I lost the link.

Also, what strain is that?

I chopped them tonight, took a pic or two. The pics turned out kind of blurry and I already put the buds in my dryer so I'll take more pics when they're done. Should be about 4-5 days. About 15-25% or so of the trichs were amber.
