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.

Here is my new NEW drainage system for my Humco system. There are only 5 threaded fittings, the black ones that go down to the barb end for the soft tube that connects the system to the drains in the bottom of the buckets. There was no other way to get it down to that barb so I added extra teflon tape and a healthy application of weatherproof silicon caulk. I have pictures of the old and busted, and the new hotness, respectively. If this does not work then I am going to abandon the entire idea and just plug the holes up or buy new 5 gallon buckets.

I added some pics of my new A/C, I definitely overbought on this one but I plan on keeping it for a bigger area once I move out of this place. I still need to run the exhaust ducting but I am waiting on my friend who has my extra 6" ducting because you know I am not going to use the shit plastic one that came with the unit.


P.S. - pics are showing the threaded, screw on, fittings in the beginning and the new welded fittings that I am using now.

Thx man, I am just waiting until tomorrow to test my new drainage system because the silicon takes 3 hours to dry and I am not going to wait up just for that. It will be better cured tomorrow anyway.

Hopefully tomorrow is Veg Day 1, but if needed I will push it back a day or so. I need everything to be completely ready for I start because I am tired of fucking around in this tent. i just want to grow some damn herbals!!!

You should run 3 PK and one cut of Sasha. Just give her whatever nutes you would give the PK.

Just a random idea ;)

You are the second person to tell me that, FM was trying to get me to do half and half but I politely told him to fuck off and I will tell you the same kind sir. ;-)

For real though I just want to do one strain for now. After this I will be willing to do 2 strains, half and half but for now I am standing firm on my decision here.

P.S. - I can only give her the same nutes as the others because they are all in the same nutrient solution, the only way to give different nutes is with foliar application and I am not a big fan of doing that too much. I already do it every other week and it's a fucking pain in the ass when they get big.

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:

Yeah, I am gonna have PK stacked in my closets for years!! I plan on trading a couple ounces for other strains and since everyone seems to like the PK I don't think it will be an issue. Yup, I am trying for 2 lbs on this next run. I may come up short but I think it's doable.

Testing of the "new" drainage system is going well. I covered the threaded fittings with 2 thick coats of silicon. If that doesn't stop the leaks then nothing will and I will call it quits.

Where is my DISLIKE button?!?

I hope you are wrong, I am scared. I am going to have nightmares tonight. Oh and the A/C has proven to be a pain in the ass because the exhaust blower is super strong and sucks alot of air out of the tent. I am starting to dislike tents because of the unstable walls or maybe I am trying to do too much with a tent.

I will post an update in the morning and probably start a new thread sometime tomorrow. Too tired now. Going to bed. Wish me luck.

No major floods so far. Everything is looking pretty good in the tent. Here are some pics.

BC - your clones are here and will be transplanted to coco and smart pots this weekend.

Can you cool the room the tent is in? That may be easier to deal with.
