Love the stickers!

How do those buckets work exactly? Do you have a link for them?

They work the same as a GH Waterfarm. There is about 2 1/2- 3 gallons of nute solution below the net basket which hold the hydroton and plant. A dual outlet Active Air pump pushes the nute solution up thru the waterfarm plumbing kit and it comes out thru the drip rings to water the plants. The blue check tube on the outside lets me know when they need to be refilled. When the buckets go to bloom those tubes will be removed and the elbow fittings will be replaced wtih a straight line and T fitting so they can be connected to each other and then to the big waterfarm controller rez. The rez is controlled by a float valve so as nutes are used by the plants the float will lower and release water from the upper rez to replenish the lost solution. Sounds a bit complicated but it is very simple and it's one of the most reliable and user friendly hydro techniques around.

This is the blooming rez

Here's what the buckets look like w/out hydroton during the test runs

Sittin' here with a small bubbler just enjoying the night air!

EDIT: All of a sudden I have a craving for pizza!

 

[Green007]

Please check out the new poll I started

What 'zyme do you use?

 

[Myzz617]

Lmao Im loving it that piece makes me want to pursue a journey to the grand canyon either that or San Diego Im thinking. That shotgun piece you got yea doggggyyy

I shot some pics right after lights off so I can show this sequence of events in my garden.
The combo of a new strain and a new bloom cab was difficult to get right. I have pretty much done everything possible to kill these girls yet they continue fight on thru the adversity.
They've been burned with nutes and heat. There's great inconsistencies in plant height and structure which has added to the chaos.
It took about a month to dial in both the cab and feeding regimen but you can see how i learned from my mistakes and got things on track with the next round of the sog. The second batch of Yumbolt 47 has excellent uniformity and are very healthy as they continues to stack on the bud.

This next pic is my fave for showing the before I got my garden right and after i got things going the way they should be. The second round of Yumbolt 47s are nearly flawless

You've got nothing on me OB. I started on an as I get I grow platform to start. In my journey, not all survived. Nice grow. Just wanted to stop by and say,.........hmmm,.......what was it I wanted to say? hmmm. Oh well keep it growin!

 

[Bandit420]

made another upgrade today on the fresh air intake

Went from this

To this

Here's an udate on the hydro

Here's what these ladies are eating

 

[Green007]

I love it when the "weed" fights to survive!

Nice updated fan, what CFM is that?

Your Hydro looks healthy.



(of course, I expect nothing but the best from the Bandit!)

Indicas can be very resistent to abuse. One more thing like bugs or an over/underwatering probably would have put these girls down for the count.
The new fan cfm is 170. Jumped from 90 to 170 plus I'm able to run the air line with fewer turns now.


Just got off line with 420 sponsor Single Seed Centre!

Feminized Grapegod, LA Woman, & OG Kush are on the way along with some freebie dinafem autos!

 

[Hypo Hippy]

LMAO HH! You know me all too well Brother! That fan does look brand spankin' new dont it! Well it's not. Picked it up used for $52. You know my motto... Never pay retail!

I've been courting LAW for awhile now. I was ready to get it when I ordered Yumbolt but they were out. They had it this time around and I could'nt pass it up. Pit Viper has a pic in his picturefest thread of him trimming a LAW cola. His sticky fingers in that pic is what sold me! I think Butcher grew it too so I need to scan thru his journal. I believe one of our fave growers down in the South grew it too.
I cant wait to grow that lady. The og kush and grapegod are pretty awesome too. Some real special things are just over the horizon me thinks. I think I'll throw the dinafem autos in some dirt and let them go outside to see what i get. One is a haze strain and I cant remember what the other is. Pic of it looked kinda ugly but the haze was a fatty.

'bout a month away from two-a days! Football is almost in the air!

 

[Bandit420]

Go get yourself a cold glass of your favorite drink, pack your bowl or twist a fatty with some mean green, sit back, take a toke, and enjoy the show. It's update time ladies and gentlemen!



I'll set the tone with this first line up of psychedelic visuals & glass

23" Blue Crush w/ HI SI Ash Catcher and Custom Layered Bowl

One of the most difficult things for a glass blower to pull off is layers. This one is done to perfection

After harvest today I had a nice ball of scissor hash

So i scraped it all off and topped a bowl of 100+ day cured White Widow and loaded it up into the new glass. Two hits and i'm finished. I might be able to finish the bowl sometime tonight.

The Outdoor Garden

What is that?




Indoor Soil Veg in Air Pots. These plants are keeping the same pace as my hydro girls. The soil plants are under a T5 fixture and the hydro is under a 250 watt MH.

Indoor Hydroponics in DIY waterfarms with logos from the best web site on the planet. Modeled after the Deep Water Culture logo.


These plants along with two of their soil growing sisters will be moved to flower next week.

To add even more 420 mojo to my hydro system I took the Sentinel timer and programmed it to run the waterfarm drip rings for 4 hours and 20 minutes with 4 minute and 20 second breaks between cycles.

Harvest Time

This is Yumbolt 47. She smells very fruity and very skunky. The first pic is natural. I played with the brightness and color saturation on the next two. All three pics are of the same plant. I'm going to take some more shots of her and maybe enter her in the potm contest. idk.
I also chopped two more WWs for a very nice haul with the first round of the sog.
More harvest pics and indoor bloom pics will follow in the coming days.

I hope y'all enjoyed the update!

Check out Jim Morrison over Downtown Vegas!

 

[Green007]

WOW, Awesome!

I'd love to spend a night partying with you, Snowball, R2, and those party favors! You ROCK

 

[DrDan]

Well done, well done. I can almost smell it through my screen.
