Looks great GL! Get yourself a nice camera when money allows so we can see just how well she produces. Also a continuous PH/PPM/temp monitor is where its at for this set up. Could even set up little web cam on the meter so you can remotely check at all times how its holding.

Hope you dont mind if I slouch down over here so I can skin up while you work your magic.

[The Hemp Goddess]

Looking sweet! Can you explain your system a little more? What is the difference between this and a RDWC?

 

[docfishwrinkle]

Hi Goddess. The only diff is that they are plumbed w/ 3" PVC & mad amount of circulation in there. My pump will be moving pretty close to an actual 800 gph. It's rdwc on steroids. Also ppms in bloom will max out around 500-600! Once dialed for 2nd run I should only have to dump Rez at beginning of bloom & at end to flush. Huge $ saver

 

[docfishwrinkle]

aw crap! typed a small book & bumped the esc key.

ok short & sweet version. had a couple hickups so now im off schedule, but whatever. so im cycling system as we speak w/ 1/2 strength of current ppm in aero which is 850ppm. my target is 400 to be on safe side, as i goofed earlier this wk by giving the aeroponic veg tote 100ppm too much so theyre bouncing back from that. goal is to have the 4 diff phenos in by mon evening.

im also not running the 600 mh as a vert this run as i will be using it to flower out the donors. the original 1200 gph pump i was planning on using will only work submersed & not inline. weird i know. so pulled up the next largest i had laying here which is a 900. still more than what C.C. puts on theirs (350gph) for about same size res.

 

[docfishwrinkle]

heres the 4 going in.

 

[docfishwrinkle]

theyre in! im a lil giddy & the ph hasn't fluctuated even a tenth of a point so i feel its good. tds is 445ppm & ph is 5.65. dropped em in & really put a hurtin' on 'em good......lol. the phenos are as follws in the group shot: left front-"z", left rear-"w", right rear-"y", right front-"x". individual photos are z, y, x, w.

 

[nouvellechef]

Jeez. Looks great. Gonna be she beasts.

:holysheep: Hey Doc; that is a good looking setup yu got there. Im curious about yer girls. I have a similar setup that I am doing with smaller blueberries that are very Indica dominant. I am settin 2 plants per tub. Yours look like they're gonna be big girls. Are they Sativa dominant or is there a particular reason for only settin one per tub, or is that the system looks bigger than what it really is. Also, in yer pics the girls look a little droopish. Is there a particular reason for that? good grow mojo to ya :farm:
