I was thinking more for support vs lst, in fact I don't necessarily need to touch them. I was just hoping for some support for the big colas because in the past I have had to tie them up or create a support system of some kind. Everyone is right though I def won't be able to to get to any other...

I was planning to do my first scrog. But I noticed in most of the post regarding it, that people were usually working with small spaces. What is the largest you guys have heard of ? I have a 9x9 room that will be completely filled (16 plants) and was planning a large screen over the entire...

The t fitting and pulling from the middle was me hoping to reduce the flow from a single bucket. Like you said after testing you went with a 1". I was seeing the same problem. I found a inline pump at PETCO that was rated 150 gph and I tried to tone it down with a valve but its was still to much

Well you were right if I run any kind of inline pump I will have to increase the size of my through fittings and hose. I resorted back to GH original solution for circulating the lower rez. I will post a pic. gh essentially added another driper without the actual ring inside the controller...

haahhahaha awsome i was litteraly thinking the same thing with food coloring. yeah i really like the inch hosing im gonna do it next time around.

Lol I probably haven't perfected it lol, just something I wrote because everyone else seems to have something on theirs. Sounds like we are on the same page, circulating the lower system makes all the difference. Do u run the drip 24/7? I do, I use a 185 gph to circulate with a value to slow...

The first 8pack I bought in 2008 before gh changed the buckets. I ordered the second 8pack a few month ago and it came from gh pre drilled through on both sides wth a recculatimng system. I was surprised when I realized this. I set up my old 8pack like the new one with the Gh reciculating add on...

Nice good to know, I've been so stuck in my ways lol. If I'm going to be evening with 3 1k mh do u think its worth putting up the t5s above during veg. Or ditch them all togther. The room is 9x9 but the foot print of the buckets is around 7x7 if it makes a difference. Thanks for everyone's...

Well everything u said made sence, so I read a little bit and u are completely right not that I ever doubted you :icon_smile: I will completely ditch the t5s and never again from underneath. I'm going to try clipping some of the bud sites like you mentioned. Thanks for the input, clearly i...

lol right. depends on how thick everything gets but sometimes ill clip some leaves while their veging and the light can penetrate deeper into the plant. in the past i will fill a room this size and have literally complete darknes below the conopy of green. hence the t5s sitting on the floor...

i have all magnetic ballasts and they were super cheap and im going on 6 years lol so they def are reliable. i think ill just stick with hortilux

the room is just about done. clones possibly tomorrow but probably on fri. the lighting went up okay but because of the lack of the 4th 1k the light bulb placement is not the way i wanted it. in a row like that but i had limited options. just waiting on the light controller in the mail...

Like I said previously the AC unit was purchased for this purpose. It is a "dual hose design" Meaning its has 2 hoses. One hose brings in out side air to cool the condenser and the other hose exhaust the hot back out side the room creating no negative room pressure. The AC unit came from a grow...

Any one us digilux bulbs on magnetic ballasts. They are the bright bulb on the market but I don't have digital ballasts.

I veg in the same room. Start with 5 inch tall clones from a bubble cloner. Then into the hydrotron. Veg under 3k mh for 24 hours maybe 3 weeks then flower. Each bucket has 'a tomato cage over it. And a "'8x8 metal garden screen over the top of everything. I'm ditching the t5s you guys are...
