First time growing in 10 years, tell me what you think of my setup

he is going to need an 8 inch fan just to vent the lighting and another for the inside temps unless he takes the easy way out like berkman and just gets co2. puss... lol.
I agree, two rows and two 8" fans cooling 2 lights each should do it.

Hahahah, fuck you slacker. I just ordered a 7000 BTU A/C for my tent so suck it. I am going to be able to keep my CO2 in there for much longer now. I am going to run the intake and exhaust fans on a timer and put the A/C on the Sentinel controller.

I have to wait until tomorrow to borrow a hole saw from a buddy but the drainage system is just about done. It is a much simpler design than I thought I was going to use and it is a little taller (6") than I wanted but it will all be worth it when I don't have to use the shop vac to suck out the last bit of water from the system.

Yeah I am tired of it being 88 degrees in there and not having the CO2 in there for very long is also bothering me. I wanna let my girls stay bathed in CO2.

You can pull a P easy out of each 4x4, I wanna get 2 lbs out of my 5x5 this next grow. I am not sure if I can do that but that's my goal.

My boy who had the Bubba Kush and had to kill all his plants was wondering if any of you had 3 or 4 clones for him to try out on his next grow. Please let me know. He will take mixed strains, he doesn't care.

Well at least min 2 weeks. Or I can just clip about 6 off Sasha and he can root them or you can.
No, 2 or 3 weeks is fine. Please take said cuttings as soon as you find the time kind sir. :lol:

I appreciate it and my boy especially appreciates it. You will get at least an ounce for your troubles, probably more. Let's hope he has a good yield because he has had nothing but bad luck with the Bubba Kush and is quite disheartened.

running bubba now. what happened to his?
Bad genetics, it was Pre 1998 Bubba Kush from Cali Connections and he has been having trouble with it for a while but thought it was all his fault. This most recent grow everything was good as far as PPM and PH and nutes but the same mutation started so he tossed them all. Now he is moving up north and wants to start new with tried and tested strains so he is going to do some Pineapple Kush and whatever else he can get. He has room for 6 plants.

I need some Pineapple Kush in my life.

Lol
You will get that this weekend. I need to pick my 4 and the other 4 are for you. I am flushing my system now after finishing up the drainage system.

The drainage system works well but pointed out my shitty pump now that the whole rig is up 6 inches. Stupid puny pump. Luckily I had a bigger one so I put that on there and it is all working out pretty well.

Now, I just hope that I have fixed all the leaks. I will check again in an hour and then in the morning. If everything looks good then I will start my new grow tomorrow.

New grow??? That's wassup, did u decide what strains u gonna b running this time??
I am going to do another run of straight Pineapple Kush. I want to get this strain down as far as nutrient needs, etc. I def know I can do better than this last grow.


UPDATE:

I have fixed all of the leaks in my drainage system and also received my new 7000 BTU A/C. I am going to add more water to my system to increase the pressure on the drainage system and let it sit for a couple hours and then check it again for leaks. I am planning on getting my clones tomorrow night and that should be day 1 of veg in Grow Tent 2.5. :lol:

FUCK FUCK FUCK! Stupid threaded fittings. They are supposed to make things easier but NOOOOOOO they can't do that can they?!?

I am ripping my drainage system apart and rebuilding it with as little threaded pieces as possible. There has not been one leak from any joint that I welded with PVC glue, all the leaks are from the stupid threaded fittings and when trying to tighten them enough to stop the leak they crack. And yes I had a TON of teflon tape on there so it's not that. I think they are just shit quality fittings.

Oh well, off to Home Depot again. :wall:

way to go dude. u should just get bulkhead fittings on the buckets with 3/4" black hoses running to plastic slide in T fittings leading to a single hand turn valve. it wont leak and as of now ur making things too complicated. if u need help just ask a cripple. lol. ur a computer guy, not to mention a jew so im pretty sure ur hands on training is slacking. ur good in the planning department. just not the R and D end of things. bahahahahaha ;) im evil but u cant be mad at a crippled guy. lol.
