Bubblelicious, New York Power Diesel, and Super Skunk in DWC

[Twils]

Yeah, that sounds like the move; I just kinda expected that the fittings and hose would fit perfectly; on that note, anyone know where to get 3/8" black tubing besides the Internet? Would that be at any kind of a Home Depot-ish shop?

Black tubing is in the drip irrigation isle, next to the sprinkler heads at home depot.

Vinyl tubing is near the freezer repair stuff, anything under 1"ID is sold in 10' lengths, over 1"ID in 1' lengths.

I'd suggest using half inch tubing from the Drip Irrigation stuff,

The plumbing isle will have all the plastic fittings you'll need, barbed connectors, couplings (fipt x fipt) , shut off valves and anything else you might need.

I'll take some pictures when I get my laundry room back from the wife!

Burn on!

Your ladies are looking like they are enjoying that light!

 

[Bob Smith]

Wow, Home Depot really has all that shite?

Might need to actually look around a little more there.....................good info man, thanks

That's the idea; they were under a small 26W fluorescent bulb for a solid week with almost no nutes, so they should be liking that large meal and solid light output.

They all have a touch of yellowing in the new growth from light deficiency, but that should be gone within a day or two (not too worried about it).

Yep sure do! I managed to pick up .. If I remember correctly..
Prices might be higher if you live in a state that has sales tax!
$5.99: 50' black 1/2 drip tubing
$0.28 x 15: Plastic fittings (plumbing isle)
$0.49 x 6: Couplings (fipt x fipt)
$1.29 x 2: 1/2" barbed x threaded fitting
$7.99: 10' vinyl 1/2ID tubing
$6.99: 10' vinyl 3/8ID tubing

missing a few things but you get the drift.. I went to the hydro shop to pick up a grommet and one of the $0.28 1/2" barbed connectors... Shit was almost 2.50, got it at the depot for well, 28 cents.

Burn on!

Wow, I really, really need to do some more fishing around Home Depot.

Good looking out, bro.

Home depot is where i got mine, also have it a lowes and menards. Just look in the plumbing section. they have all different sizes of clear and black. bring a fitting with you to ensure a snug fit.

Thanks; still can't believe they have all that stuff at Home Depot.

well, there are other uses for the stuff besides hydro setup(sprinkler systems, ro systems, ect)

 

[Bob Smith]

dude i been reading your post all day.i know your frustration it took me 3 weeks to set up my room the way i wanted to.got it all dialed or so i thought only to reliize when i cut the hole thru my flood table and my support table and installed the flood thing it was off centered .damn bro then when i almost got the fitting off iaccidentally cracked my table.i wanted to cry .long story short every thing is sweet.and i gained valuable knowledge on set up and what potential problems to avoid next time .im sure your experience will be no different its obvious you are no quitter.good luck.

Nice to have you along, dude, and I'm sorry about my long-windedness with this thread - as I'm sure you're aware, ran into some "technical difficulties" for the past week.

BTW, tell Frank Gore to start producing for my fantasy squad or he's benched (after his bye this week, obviously).

That's how I had to look at it, Hydro set up is basically plumbing 2 or more items together.

Burn on!

Damn Bob that really blows...

I finally got my recirculating, remote reservoir system to work last night without over flowing, I'll set it back up tonight and take some pictures

I found that using a 3/4" wood drill bit, starting it off really slow and then letting the claws basically shave everything away, keep your drill at a medium speed and apply a slow steady light pressure, I then took some 220 grit sand paper and smoothed my holes out..

bought some 1/2" barbed threaded connectors, and 1/2" threaded female connector. The threads on the 1/2" Barbed connectors actually thread measure meant is slightly smaller than 3/4". Wrapped the threads in teflon plumbers tape, then threaded the barbed connector to the inside of the bucket. this smaller connection has been leak proof without the use of any caulk, or sealant of any kind, but for safety I hot glued the out side of the connection to the out side of the bucket.

Ran a 3/8" tube from the exhaust of the pump where it was capped off and "T" fitting was placed in the end, where 2: 1/4" feeder tubes feed the grow bucket

Grow bucket has a over flow tube so when the pump fills up the grow bucket too much it returns to the res.

I really think the rubber shit from the hydro shops are a waste, for 28-49 cents you can get every connector you need from the plumbing section in home depot.

I'll make a parts list and post a detailed how to on how I did mine, maybe it will work for you!

Keep your head up! It will all work out bro!

Burn on!

Really, really, really wanna see this tutorial, kiddo - let's make it happen.

Looking for ideas right now, and step one is ensuring that anything I do is watertight, so then I can simply focus on the function of the system.

Sounds like these threaded connectors might be just what I need.

FYI, there's a thread titled "RDWC" something or other that's got some good for thought, if you're interested.

Lol, who would ever make one of those sytems?

What a waste of time that would be..........

I've been laid up on the couch all day, sick as a dog.

Nothing really new to report except that I was so high when I checked on my ladies that I added pH up instead of down and had to deal with that whole fiasco for about an hour - as far as Green Crack goes, I've never grown it, so I can't comment, unfortunately.

Also haven't broken the seal on any of my House and Garden nutes, so again I must apologize for not being able to help you.

However, the goal is to get all my shit back in the garage and try to get my flowering tent setup by tomorrow afternoon, so there should be some pics up tomorrow evening.

 

[Twils]

Hope you feel better Bob!

I ran out of tape last night while taking pics for the tutorial, gotta pick some up and will have it up soon!

Burn on!

Awesome kid, looking forward to that - been brainstorming on setups for my flowering tent, need to get some more ideas.

Anyways, still feel like shit but am focused on getting my workout room back - will take a pic or two later, but not much to report from the veg tent - just that the Bubblelicious are doing much worse then either the Super Skunk or NYPD - gonna do some research and see if that might just be a finicky strain.

Some strains are pickier than others and may have different nutrient requirements. What's the bubblelicios doing? Put up some pics and maybe we can help.
