Jon i been battleing Fungus Knats over my grow here and I just started to get them controlled. What i did was just cover the top of the soil with perlite About 1/2 inch on the top will break the life cycle. C the adults cant get threw the perlite to lay there eggs and the babys cant come up threw it to mature. After that u just need to kill the adults. Sticky traps help Hopfully this will help your plants u have growing in soil!

It's hard to find it outside of the states Jon, but i welcome someone to correct me, if I'm wrong ! I was looking at every single online hydro shop and sent a ton of mails .... lol ! It seems all shops this system is available, are located in US !!
I had very hard times to find someone to send it over here and I got it , on parts ! (res cannot be shipped)

I think it has to do, that in uk for example there are allready same british systems in the market, there is no need to import a US system.

thanks Billy, shipping for a complete 12 site flo n gro is like 350 bucks so a grand per system!! thats just insulting lol...so if anybody knows the name of a simillar system that is sold in Canada with the same size pots(4 gallons) please let me know. I know theres the ebb n gro but I cant find one with 4 gallon pots only 2 gallons:(
 
Re: My First Grow Journal-Holy Grail Kush- Purple Kush 6x12 Scrog 4 x 600W LEDs On Mo

wow!!700 bucks for a 6 site system! Thats super expensive but it is what im looking for bro thanks for taking the time to look around for me Billy. I wonder If I could just buy the brain bucket and build my own system. with 2 expansion kits to make it a 12 site its a little over a grand with shipping so pretty much the same as the flo n gro.Theres gotta be a Canadian made alternative that is a little more affordable I hope:)
 
Re: My First Grow Journal-Holy Grail Kush- Purple Kush 6x12 Scrog 4 x 600W LEDs On Mo

No prob bro, I'm glad if I can help ! :)

Yeah, that's what I'm saying , you can get the controler and maybe the buckets and make your own custom system !!
I totally agree, 700$ are a lot of money though !!! ...ouch :/

I'll see if I can find it cheaper ... No luck with just first look though !! lol
 
Re: My First Grow Journal-Holy Grail Kush- Purple Kush 6x12 Scrog 4 x 600W LEDs On Mo

Hmmm from the other hand I was thinking , you allready have the buckets why don't you just get the controler , and the inner pots ?
The buckets you allready use are 5 gls, aren't they ? Then , you only have to change the set up, bro.
You can also make your own innerpots, by another same bucket (like the one you using now) with tons of drilled holes, inside.
I think that's the system Mr.smith made for his veg station ! This one will be match larger scale and will use controller instead gravity.

Just an idea, bro
 
Re: My First Grow Journal-Holy Grail Kush- Purple Kush 6x12 Scrog 4 x 600W LEDs On Mo

i'll send u a control unit if u are stuck mate but u need to cover shipping and give me a small fee for it. they like $200 dollars if my conversion is correct. inbox me if u stuck mate.

thats new mate. i wouldnt take close to that.
 
Re: My First Grow Journal-Holy Grail Kush- Purple Kush 6x12 Scrog 4 x 600W LEDs On Mo

thats an awesome offer C, let me think about it,im giving this system one more round with 5 more buckets.since there wont be a screen I ll be able to keep the roots under control and maybe thats all thats wrong.:Namaste:

Im just a little frustrated right now and when that happens I tend to say fuck it and try something else lol..not always the best solution or the most economical:)

I also have high hopes for the copper mesh, fingers crossed.

I cant use my buckets for a new system Billy the drain holes are 1 inch and theres 2 per bucket exept for the ends.If I dont get it running right next round I ll probably do exactly that though, just get the control unit and build my own system:)
 
Re: My First Grow Journal-Holy Grail Kush- Purple Kush 6x12 Scrog 4 x 600W LEDs On Mo

u could easi;y adapt ur system with 1" drain lines, i cant remember the size of the outlets on the control unit, might be 1 1/4" ut i might be wrong. the offer stands any way mate but i think u have a sound system and dont need to change it, maybe tweak but not change. i use drip irrigation and flood drain and the flood drain maybe slightly edges the drip irrigation but nothing to scream about.
 
Re: My First Grow Journal-Holy Grail Kush- Purple Kush 6x12 Scrog 4 x 600W LEDs On Mo

Hey Jon, I've been looking at your first photos at the beginning of this journal and I'm sure you could adapt your current buckets really easily couldn't you? You can block off or add drain holes and increase or reduce diameters easily. any parts you need should just be available in one form or another in a plumbers merchants.

And you've probably tried it, or it's not possible to do (and I don't mean to teach you to suck eggs or anything!) but if the roots are causing drainage issues have you tried disconnecting the drain hoses from the pots and pushing a piece of 12mm pipe or something through the drain hole into the pot and out the other side to clear the roots a little and allow better drainage. It's not going to cause major damage to the roots I wouldn't think
 
Re: My First Grow Journal-Holy Grail Kush- Purple Kush 6x12 Scrog 4 x 600W LEDs On Mo

Yep I tried that last round bro, but because of the screen I cant pick the buckets up to tilt and drain so when I unhook the drain it just flows out all over the place. Im hoping the copper mesh will work. I ll probably stick with this system if it drains well after I put the mesh in. I misunderstood how the flo n gro works I thought the water got pumped back out of the system but it just drains back into the control bucket and then gets pumped into the main res so its pretty much the same thing. the best set up I ever had was very simillar to 420fieds. flood and drain tables are the easiest systems to run if it wasnt for the mandatory sentence per plant around here I'd still be doing it that way. I could fit 4 4x8 tables in my room staggered every 2 weeks thats a pound a week give or take. hmm..ya never know if I cant get this sytem running the way i want I might just do it:)
