Hey @TheStickMan Just curious, what's your res change procedure? Do you top off, pump out, move roots/plant to another bucket or ect...
I used to lift the whole plant out of the bucket and out of the tent into an empty bucket, which was an absolute ball ache with the size and weight!
Now every weekend I pump out the water into an empty bucket, have my new water and nutes mixed in another and pump that into the reservoir. oh and I top up with plain pH'd water during the week, she normally goes through 20 litres in a week.

Well that has always been one of the setbacks for doing SCROG for me, I wanted to make some sort Screen that fixed to the bucket lid and then have it on some sort of ratchet system so I could lift the plant and screen and suspend it while I changed nutes and that. Too much messing about so this is what I do..View attachment 3587712View attachment 3587714 Problem solved!! The pump just reaches the bottom of the bucket and effectively drains it all!

Not a happy chappy, came home to a little bit of bud rot on two small tops, and a lot of yellow leaves. I really fucking hate working away. :-x

Gotcha, yeah i do the whole lift out thing exactly as you did, but with this new setup and scrog net its so much more of a pain(gotta take it out of the closet, net is larger than closet door opening so gotta like jimmy it sideways and shit). Last grows once it got too tall in flower i went to pumping but that was only for last couple weeks. Now i think i'm gunna have to do the pumping for a lot more weeks. After that last root rot scare pumping just worries me because how i do it now I completely spray/wash out the bucket i regularly use. I know almost everyone else does the whole pumping/topping off thing so just wanted to hear how you did it for some reassurance on it haha

Aw fuck man! Why do you think it got bud rot? Don't you have fans circulating air all the time?
I have the exhaust fan on constantly, and a 9 inch fan on while lights are on, I cut off all affected bud, only around 2 gram altogether. And I've put another 9 inch fan in. I think the reason was just poor air circulation, the buds affected werent getting enough air to them.
I bought a 12inch BLT oscillating box fan a few months ago, but I need to make something for it to sit on. I just haven't had the time!

for those 2 I recon 3-4 weeks. The diesel and big head will take about 6 or more. The big head I fucking huge
Are those a bit behind, or just a longer flowering time? Put some pics on if you can mate, I wouldn't mind having a look at them, especially the Big Head! :grin:

Danm that sucks man, scary too lol I actually have one of my fans set to only run with the light so I'm actually gunna change that and make it run all the time now that your scaring me of bud rot haha I run some fucking high RH because I don't exhaust or anything and I think my house is just generally high RH, yesterday i was at 75% and it hasn't been below like 65% lately.

Wish you the best on fixing that man, keep that air flowin!
