WH yeah but what i asking is about the gallon conversion to liters, 5 gallons thats 19 liters, seems too big more than any indoor plant would need. i was wondering if you mean another "gallon measurements because there are several "1 gallon" units each measures different according to country

Zem 5 gals is not too big at all. I have had many plants that the roots system takes up pretty much the entire 5 gal bucket. However, with 9 plants in a 4.5 x 4.5 I am thinking that DGF is going to have to keep them somewhat smaller to not become overcrowded. It may not be an issue. I think that kraven had a plant recently that the root system took up pretty much his whole 5 gal--looked great. If I were buying though, I think I would be looking for something with at least 3 gal pots.

US measurements are so bad. In all my years, I can ever figure out why anyone would believe that a number system based on 10 and a measurement system based on nothing consistent would be a good idea...A gallon is 128 ozs when speaking of liquid measure like water (but some liquids are heavier of lighter) or .134 cu ft. if measuring solids. Might be talking about garden nursery pots. For some reason, a gal is not an actual gallon. For instance, a 3 gal nursery pot only holds under 2.5 gal.

Good god you got some mojo going on in here, I just finished reading all of this journal. Trust me, I will be following along.

I almost bought that setup you are looking into.....im kinda glad I didn't, my needs are not what yours are I guess.....FYI I setup your 18g tote (I went with the 18g instead of the 10/12g setup the other night, just waiting for seeds and (once my last autos are done) I will be getting to work!!!
)
THank you again for all of your advice/info.

:huh: that's more confusing than it ever was lol anyway, a gallon is 3.78Liters x5=19 L i think thats about the size of the plants when i do 1 pot per 100w of hps so yeah i agree it's not too big actually.

Doc I got it now, it's a nice system, actually i like the control res to be much bigger than 55gals, you cant blame me for the confusion as we are on page 1zillion through the journal and i'm still following

i thought thats the size of your current DWC DIY buckets :shocked: haha

I think cubby runs a system he built like this.
:bong::bong:

Yeah, very similar.

I believe he has a higher ceiling and runs in 5 gals. Lucky! hah

It's a good rig doc, I have seen trees in aero before so you and me both know the size of the container matters little in hydro. 2 gal is the perfect size for what your trying to accomplish. Green mojo, I'm jealous, want a "CAP & EBB like" system myself

Yeah, I got two of these systems and I'm ZINGING!

:vap-Bong_smoker:

The 2 gal pots are super nice. I'll take pics when I work on getting stuff setup, but that won't be for another 3 weeks or so.

It's a 12 site setup, so each plant will be topped once, and trimmed a lot ahead of time. Going to try for around 6 main branches on each plant. Hopefully I hit 2oz at least on each of them... The point of this is to allow the LED's to absolutely soak a minimal amount of plant and create the maximal amount of bud... at least, I think.

Glad you enjoy the journal :aok:
Super happy you were able to get something good and useful from my DIY! That puts a smile on my face

Can't wait to see your setup. :aok:

imo u should run one res and 2 tents with 6/6 pots sure 9 in a tent maybeeeee. imho 4-6 per tent is what u want but just again my opinion. 6 is max sites per tent imo

If I do 2 tents then I need 2 control buckets as the control buckets need to be level with the pots, and I'm going to have to put the control bucket inside the tent. If I had 1 large tent for the flowering space I could use just 1 system surely. Also, I've run 12 in one tent in soil before.. it EASILY fits. Especially if you train them right and veg for little time. We'll see

Ok, update time...

Most all of the bins held over the last 24 hours at either 5.8 or 5.9 and there's 2 bins in the Tent #1 that are slowly rising and were at 6.0 and 6.1. I left them and am riding the drift there. Those bins are all at around 625 ppm's. One bin (Merlot OG) was at 5.7 before add back. Bins were low, so I did an add back solution at 500ppm's. So everything in Tent #2 is at 5.8 right now.

Just crossing my fingers for some bulking and more development.
