Update: 4th Tray added
Just added another 8 to the cycle; Pineapple Chunk, Grape God, Cheese, and Heavy Duty Fruity, totaling 31 bottles and going strong. These babies are quite small but they'll get to 20+ inches in one week.
Another tray is due in 14 days. By then, I'll be adding in another light (400w or 600w depends on weather). The weather is still inconsistent with warm/cold so I'll wait a bit. When the tent is running full capacity I'll install the pvc water drip system (it will be DIY), for now I use 3.5ft pvc with a funnel attached to the end to water each bottles, less stressful from being inside the tent reaching in between branches.
that funnel idea is genius bro, I never though of that, but it sure beats getting a bottle or watering can in the deep jungle
Looking great, Twelve!
I can't wait to see the tent full!
I'm starting my first 7 plants on 12/12 tomorrow.
Are you serious?? 20+ inches in one week? I've heard of up to 3 inches a day using DWC with undercurrent. That's awesome!
Can you show a pic of your watering contraption? Sounds interesting...
Progressing quickly they all look so healthy and happy treating them well bro.
Been looking every were for them 2L bottle holders there like rocking horse shit!
The funnel is temporally until the tent is full then the water drip system will be in place.
Question about your dripp system
Will you have multiple res's to hold diffrent strength nutrient solutions to aid your sog?

Good question. Although with growing my strain I'd just start them at 700PPM and then go to full strength at the first res change and be done with it. When Xare incorporated his drip system he didn't have to worry about it because he ran Lucas Formula from start to finish with no problems.
12 will figure it out. He's a mad scientist.
Twelve, do yourself a favor and cut 5 plants out and just do 99. Once you hit 100 plants, you run a MUCH higher risk!
This is only a sketch. Planning to have 4 pipes each to different stage of flowering:
1st pipe: 1-2 weeks in bloom:
2nd pipe: 2-4 weeks in bloom:
- 1st set (1-6 days) 500 PPM - 7th day flush
- 2nd set (1-6 days) 800 PPM - 7th day flush
3rd pipe: 4-6 weeks in bloom:
- 1st set (1-6 days) 1000 PPM - 7th day flush
- 2nd set (1-6 days) 1500 PPM - 7th day flush
4th pipe: 6-8 weeks in bloom:
- 1st set (1-6 days) 500 PPM - 7th day flush
- 2nd set (1-6 days) 800 PPM - 7th day flush
- Flush
Feeding the 3rd pipe first with the highest PPM, then add more water dilute the remaining nutes down for the 2nd set, then again for the 1st set, and only use pure water for the last set (4th, close to harvesting) for the flush.
Each set only uses 1/4 of 5gal to refill. The close/open valve on each pipe will help achieve this without having multiple reservoir or mixing for each stages of flowering. This uses one mix (starting from the highest PPM) and work down until the water is clear for flushing the plants close to harvesting.
Each pipe goes in between the two bottles, and each bottles is feed with a drip pipe coming off the main pvc. This will be manual on/off system, not automatic. Don't like the idea of water running when I'm not there. Even get stressed out on the DIY aero, but I have secured any leaks from the DIY aero by putting the unit inside a bigger tote. For this system I'm not so sure. There are lots of joints and one might bust open. Being there with the plants will help monitor everything in action. Shouldn't take no more than 5mins to water/feed the plants once this system is installed.
This is just a design, have not start crafting yet. If anyone have suggestion I'll consider. Thanks!
At first glance I thought you said take out 5 plants and put in 5 of the C99. Then I re-read and get what you mean. Does the 99 plants counts as total or flowering only? Veg tent holds about 20 or so plants, plus 23 clones (in DIY Aero), plus 32 in flower at the moment. What about seeds? I plan on creating 1 million seeds...
Do you know if Xare still growing with 2L? I wonder what's the Lucas Formula for BPN will be?
Not sure how I missed this one at the start. subbed.
I may have missed it, what size drip heads are you using and what is the duration and frequency of watering in the drip system?
