Does anyone know an easy way to get tubing to slide on fittings easier? It's always the hardest part of the grow for me, putting on the tubing and taking the tubing off... My hands are so jacked up from nerve issues that iIcan barely make it through the job. I need something that'll make it easier but still stay 100% leak proof..
Done for now but I'll have to do it all over again soon

Your room looks surgical clean man! and plants are conisuori condition!Hell yeah, that's great! She sure is a yielder
it's only the truth
Right on man, the back end of the tray sits on a saw horse, you can buy saw horse brackets for about 10$ and build it to whatever height you need, Just a tad higher than the reservoir is best, then the front of the tray sits on the res, this allows the most height for a flood tray. The res is a horse trough, works great. The saw horse idea I got from Aero, I've always made tray stands and still will if I have the height, but in situations with height issues, the saw horse combo is great
I have been working most the day to fill my 4x4 flood table with rooted cuts here....got in 32 from my ez-cloner what had on average 8" hanging roots...I put the tank to 28 gallons and am running GH 3 part...with pro-tek...with hydrogard...ppm 200.
Found some used 6x6 RW...soak them in PH 6.2....slice slit and open grodan cube...insert cut and fold roots into slit...press together,good contact...pour res mix over cube...running 600w MH...room temp 76...
What did I miss here?

Thanks man! And thanks for the tip about the blow dryer, I take it heat it the key, makes sense it was so much harder to work with today because it was 67 in the room lol. I'm going to keep this info in my back pocket.
Sounds like you got your tray filled and are on track bro. I'm not too knowledgeable about Rockwool, but sounds like everything else is good. It's been a while since I've used gh, last time iIused it iIused the Lucas formula, 2 parts micro to 1 part bloom iIthink is the recipe. I'm still starting clones at 700ppm though but that's with hydroton. It's so weird because iIalways use to start clones at 400ppm (including tap water, usually 200ppm) and gradually worked up. But this whole year I've been getting hardcore deficiency starting lower than 700, it might just be the strains I'm running or something, I'm not too sure

Well, I'm really beat up from over exertion this week. Had to push some stuff ahead a couple days so I can heal up a bit. I gotta run some ducting still and that's about it then I can flower the gdp, atomic nl and mendo breath. Going to try to do it today, actually, I kind of have to because they are bigger than I'd like. We will see what happens.

Well, the ducting is up. New ebb system hooked up.. And Im fucked because the switch error on the new controller bucket keeps coming on which means I can't run it right now.. I'm done with eBay for good. Swear to God it's been the last 10 things I've bought have either been late, wrong or broken. I need to see if the hydro shop has some sort of controller that has 1/2" fittings, if so cool.. I'll send this pos back and get that.. If not, not looking good.

Thanks guys, I'm going to call the store in the am and see what they can put together for me. My controller bucket is a hydrofarm and they use 1/2" fittings, iI think it's the only controller that uses 1/2" and since all my buckets are also 1/2", iI either need the same exact controller or iI need to buy whatever controller they have (which will be 3/4" fittings) and hope the shop also has 3/4" to 1/2" reducer fittings that I'd be able to run off the controller and fit my buckets too, because I don't have the energy or $ to buy and set up another whole system
Hoping for the best, these gdp are getting really big compared to what I flowered last time, they really need to flower and get out of the veg tray or they will be too big and iI have other clones I've been handwatering a few times daily that need to go in the tray.. #hydroproblems

They had a controller with 1/2" outletsDamn, what a predicament
back on track but the damn thing was $300 grr. This thing better last me a life time. I finished the trellis for the buckets, that was the last thing I needed to do so I'll be able to flower the gdp tonight thank god.
The trellis is either adjustable or I can double /triple trellis if needed

I picked up another one of these the other day, when I get some more energy I'll be mounting them so all of my veg is t5. Believe it or not, a t5 has better lumens with far better spread than a 600w mh. I got a brand new 600w bulb to test the coverage and it's good for 2x2 while a 400w t5 system has more lux evenly over a 2x4. Less watts more light. That's all I needed to know

Thanks bro! I'll be putting them in flower tonight, I just have to wait for the ol lady to get home to help meNice!! Besides the price, gotta be happy with that

they are looking so good so I have a good feeling this will come out so much better than the last run. They definitely aren't the typical size for a sog lol, but I'm going to do what I have to to make it work Here's a better angle to see the height they have, about 12-13" + and growing more than an inch a day now

They are truly much better than hid for veg, the light penetration isn't as good but for a 2.5 foot plant, they are much better, and it seems the growth is more tight as well
That chemalope is looking killer man
looks like she's stacks hard!

Yea it still is going to have that cantaloupe taste it looks like. I need some sour power 91 beans though. Those sound great!They are truly much better than hid for veg, the light penetration isn't as good but for a 2.5 foot plant, they are much better, and it seems the growth is more tight as well
