Mostly there not not completely...
Ok so Time to throw up a good update!
Things are moving along well but starting to have some issue's.
For one the new grow rooms are taking some time to get dialed in. I am almost there. I have two plants in flower that are very close to harvest and they are pungent. So I switched some more things around with the layout of the fans and filters and solved it. I don't think there will be an odor issue at all going forward. Constant filter mode and separate fans to vent out heat is the answer. one charcoal filter in flower scrubbing and the room temp vents into veg and that room runs a scrubber and that room temp based vents out to basement. No odor at all directly outside room. Solved... Til I have 6 in flower some day.
So second issue was a few days ago I had cold issues and then it became heat issue's. So HPS has to run at 75% right now. I do want another LED same as what I have and i hope between the two and the Small 400W heater i will be all set (ditch the HPS again) But I will have to wait on it for now. Also once the 130 degree air compressor is out of the room I will be all set. I could actually do it now. I am running one tub in top feed so I can't shut down the LED and soon the compressor wont be used. Just a small one in the big res. As I harvest the DCC and BK new plants won't be DWC but will go on top feed. It will be the fun for the foreseeable future.
So here is the 20 gallon Botanicare tub.
This is the pump set up. I have a 90 deg adapter drilled on the end of the hose for the intake. It will drink pretty much as long as the res isn't totally empty.
I had to build a stand as it needs to be below the gravity feed from the tubs so here it is all installed with the TW clone in it.......
Totally not pleased with the tubing etc yet. and Two tubs are not hooked up yet. I'll redo it all then. I'll need to build a similar shelf on the other side but will need to harvest first to clear the space...
These two are over there!
Pics of these are all in lights out so I sucked at it...
Both have been in flower 58 days and should be flushed very soon. But I am going to wait. The DCC is just swelling like crazy and I am purposefully running it longer than normal for me at least. The BK just hasnt ever taken off... It went into flower way too early I guess. Or a week or so. I'll just let it run its course and cut it down a week or two after the DCC. As long as they don't hermie but I have been watching them and they just aren't done. They are starting to have some leaf issues but I am not sure why they both have been on a steady nute schedule. Some plant shuffling etc but never anything serious. I missed one cal mag supplement feeding once. so not sure. BUT they did go from LED for 6 weeks to HPS for 1-2 now. I will chop soon so no biggie. I actually think the roots outgrew the air stone as a possible too... 10 gallon tubs..Don't let the BK fool yah the root mass is enormous and the air get eaten by the roots if that makes sense.. So I Filled them a little less in the last res swap yesterday. Top feed will change all this anyway...
So over in Veg it is a whole different game. All top feed at this point. Plant definitely liked the MHS better than the T5 but oh well. This T5 will get an upgrade as well but I may stick with similar just bigger and not go LED. I spend too much time in there to want to go LED in there. It still may happen though. We'll see that road then.
This is the most of it.... I am starting to see some deficiencies on some of them. I am new to top feed so and all these where in DWC to start with so I expect them to need to the change and I will have to be gentle and dial it in cautiously. So far so good but some are taking a bigger hit like the ACDC.
Lost some lower leaves but it did go srom soil to DWC to Top Feed so as long as it just takes a small smack and the center top still looks lush. So I am just watching it close.
So the latest two members to complete my initial seed order are popped (5 Afghani non-fem ..meh)
Yup 1/2 inch roots directly into hydroton under 750 ppm ... ROFL! The are like yah Biatch! Lovin it!
They grew fast so far in 36 hours of top feed .. not kidding. I let them sit in the cotton pill bottles i popped them in a tiny bit linger cause i knew they where going straight in....
So without further adieu.
Royal Queen Sour Diesel Feminised Seeds Info
The world famous Sour Diesel is now available in feminised seed from Royal Queen Seeds. We are proud to add this fine cannabis strain to our selection. This might be one of the most famous strains of cannabis on the planet; and maybe one of the strongest.
Like many of the best cannabis strains coming out these days, Sour Diesel comes straight from California. It is a favourite with many smokers and growers. These powerful American genetics will grow well indoors around the world; outdoors, on the other hand, they need a warm climate, similar to California or Spain.
This is a mostly Sativa strain which shows in both its growth structure and the strong high effect it gives when consumed. The plant develops its resinous buds and powerful aroma over a 10-week flowering period. This is after a recommended 3-to-4 week vegetative period. These plants will grow to a height of around 100-130 cm, with some stretching during early flowering.
Sour Diesel is a very pungent, aromatic strain. Heavy chemical, herbal and sour flavours come from its glistening buds. When grown well, it will give yields of 450-600 grams per square metre. This is both a yield in quantity and quality, producing high-quality, resinous, aromatic buds. Full Diesel power!
Super long Flower 12 weeks!! Always was one of my Fav's Let see if it still will be ....

Samsara Holy Grail 69 Feminised Seeds Info
On a whim, one of our breeders set about crossing our own Punky Lion with pure Haze genetics.
The result is a slightly taller plant than her progenitors, with very few leaves to trim and a fresh tropical Pina Colada taste that will amaze even the cannabis world's most hedonistic experts.
Covered in trichomes that produce a resin imparting a unique sense of controlled euphoria, this lady's best feature is the perfect balance between her Indica and Sativa characteristics.
Simply unique!
HG was a single freebie I got so we'll see if it is a keeper!
So the new veg room and plenty of flower room inspired me to pop the SD seeds and tie up the space. I Look forward to watching it grow!
Let's hope that all these do well as I am implementing the new top feeds as I go and hope I don't have too many growing pains with it. It really is a simple simple setup.
So this was a big update but that it how it goes these days. Less updates but alot more content. Hope everyone had safe holidays and as always never hesitate to comment as I can always use some help.

But I still have no idea on watering schedule. I have heard everything from 24-7 to 3 times a day 15 min with hydroton. I am running 15 on and 1.45 off in Veg i forget in flower but more often and off at lights off..
