Re: ! Munki's 576 Watt LED & Hempy Style Flower Power !
Yes, mmmm
, right. Part of the plan was to attribute for loss due to males and failed clones. Since all are female and if the clones root well, I may be forced into a "Sophie's Choice" with my babies; something I have yet to face. 
5/5 girls!
and all those female clones!

Re: ! Munki's 576 Watt LED & Hempy Style Flower Power !
Having been a seed grower until very recently, I would have a really hard time making "Sophie's Choice" since I value fems so much. Actually, I had a very hard time with that movie and almost wish I had never watched it.
A ludicrous comparison, but you know what I mean.
I'll no doubt make the adjustment in attitude when I get more used to keeping a mom.

Grats on winning the war with bugs!
SS, I go through that decision all the time. Especially when there's a little extra room in the flower room. Can't help but think of flowering a mom and getting another. But...

Me too. Guess its part of growing up as a grower.
Actually, I didn't get an infestation. I thought I may have had an issue, but only leaf damage from nutrient solution getting on them has been confirmed. The preventative measures have held up so far.

Flower day 13. I removed the humidity dome from the clones this morning and they have held up well so it has stayed off. Watered and fed Ogre and Master Kush only today. No pics; was in a hurry. Will have more tomorrow.

Flower day 14. No pics again,
. Watered and fed all plants today. Must now water Satori 3 daily along with the Ogre and Master Kush plants as it was pretty dry after missing a day.
Master Kush is now showing more obvious flowering. I was worried a bit with the problems IrishBoy had. We shall see how the other strains do. Flowering does seem delayed.

I'm sure you mentioned Munki, but what size buckets are you using?
I'm surprised that you're having to water daily already.

Two gallon buckets from Home Depot. They are white but have been either painted or taped for light protection. If I water every day, then I can get most of 1 gallon of water into a bucket before it reaches the top of the perlite layer. In watering the Satori 3 last night, I put in the whole gallon and did not see the water layer rise to the surface so the perlite must have been pretty dry at that point. The bigger plants are now consuming about a 1/2 gallon of nutrient water daily.

2 inches from the ground but the bottom is raised by about 1/4 inch by design so it doesn't have a 2 inch depth inside. Also, since I flood the buckets to the top of the perlite then drain them, I tilt the pots somewhat so they drain below that level. If I don't do this, then the nutes will overflow the hole once they drain back down from the upper perlite layer. I probably won't be able to do this the whole grow as Ogre is getting a bit top heavy, so I may need to go to just filling them inside the tent without flooding all the media.
Pics coming up here in a bit.

Image 5/17 should be a centerfold. That is a beautiful nubile female. BTW, thanks for the CannaStats link. Invaluable info.
Re: ! Munki's 576 Watt LED & Hempy Style Flower Power !
thanks Munki!
Those are a bit smaller than the 10-liter (2.6gal) rose buckets from Trader Joe's, plus the 1/4" raised bottom, so that makes sense now.
your plants are movin' a lot of water already, they're gonna be monsters
thanks Munki!

Munki, did you score the bus-boy tubs at Home Depot as well? Those are perfect for overflow.

Thanks and you are welcome. I like reference material and his ideas got me started with a very good DIY ebb n flow setup.
What to do with my Phototron though?
Tubs came from Target and are Sterlite. $2.98 each
