1/3hp utility sum pump, to 3/4" pvc to all the adapters and check valve on the other end to prevent siphon. goes up from above res a little into top of 2x4x5 tent across the back, back up to the top and out the vent into the veg tent down to larger drippers for 2 tray back to smaller drippers for the mother, then it still has the power to do another tent of about 30 drippers(90 dripper potential) first pic pump second pic Tee. third pic tube up into top of tent, res sits about 3ft off the ground. 4th pic mainline runs across back of flower tent. 5th pic mainline comes into veg tent to a tray with some larger dripper. 6th pic then goes to another tray. 7th pic then the m other go back to the smaller drippers that kinda how i set up my break offs in the main line or i will do a Tee on the end, but usualy 3 small drippers per breackoff.

haha... at this rate flowering is right around the corner. My plan was to give it til Dec. 1st but the gains are coming in so fast I might cross 12" before that. Only 4" to go really. I might let them go a couple inches past 12 tho, since I fimmed some of them kinda late, I'd really rather make sure there's a good bit of cola above the split to maximize potential...

Thanks B, appreciate your enthusiasm! :0]

Glad to have y'all on board, I am pretty excited about this run. I am expecting better results than I saw the last two runs for a myriad of reasons, so... well, that's just exciting as hell, hahaha.

Haha.. I still can't get over these stem systems... you'd think I'd monster cropped the way they're shooting out for that side lighting. I almost feel like I could have skipped fimming all together and still ended up with quite a few colas.



Also, dat node spacin :O

Okay guys, another brainstorm session subject...

I'm going to end up with a lot of side colas and I have the feeling tying them all up is going to be a nightmare and a half. So, I am thinking scrog action, but I am wondering about vertical scrogging and/or a combination "stadium style" scrog to match the screen shape... maybe I could like run two sections of deer fencing, a 4 foot roll section, and just let the natural roll of it stay so it ends up like a half-tube shape... and then just run four wooden posts, one off each corner of each rolly, for moving stadium semi-scrogs...

I'd have to act quick on this one and get it done sooner than later so the colas have a chance to get up through the screen some before they fruit up.

Heh... I'm still running 2 degrees above room ambient temps with 14 bulbs on... I'll be turning the last two on tomorrow morning when I raise the lights a couple inches just to be safe while I'm busy doing thanksgiving stuff...

I'm still really not satisfied with the way the ends have really abrupt "dark dead zones"... the reflectors are designed to spread horizontally but the light drops off very abruptly on the ends, where the reflectors don't point at all... the last two plants in the back keep curling towards the fixture even though they're technically under the light. I'm going to have to get un-lazied and get back there and hang that lamp for the giant CFL addition on the back side. (In the mean time I rotated the two that were in the back row to the middle and put the ones that were in the middle at the end.)

Here's what my buddy donated, two of these:
http://sungodlights.com/Mini Lotus.html

125w per bulb... I think just one hanging at each end to fill the dark spots would be incredibly helpful... really wish I had a decent reflector for it though... that mylar in the back will help but it's got some distance from the fixture so I'd rather have something tighter...

I think they're both 6500k's, but I'll have to check more closely because I see on that website they've got a flowering version too, so maybe he gave me one of each. He also gave me a gigantic spiral CFL that's 68w and is 2700k.

Just like us growers, never can seem to be satisfied always upgrading our equipment to evolve lol.

I'm always open for donations..LMAO.

I'd say build a reflector but with that odd ass shape its kinda hard. Time to do some brainstorming. Let me see if I can think of anything bro.

No worries either way dude... you can leave it up.

As for the weird shape, yeah, it's definitely not a soda can situation. Maybe half a 5 gal bucket lined with reflective mylar... heh.

Then again, that might catch a lot of wind and sort of interrupt the air flow that I've got dialed in so nicely back there, so hmmm... maybe I'll just iet the mylar reflect it, or build some sort of custom flat-panel reflector that sits on the floor at an angle so that it helps ramp the air up while also reflecting...

Okay, I just noticed my temps were climbing so I investigated and discovered I had my intakes partially blocked... went in and adjusted things, moved the probe a little...

now my temps are .8 degrees BELOW the room temps, lol. How the fuck did I manage that... maybe the probe is catching too much wind from the fan in there...

Edit: And falling... 71.1 in the closet, 72.0 in the room. heh. That's pretty awesome... I've got the door to the room open a foot, and I can feel the cold air pulling from the hall, across the floor, to the intakes... it's like a direct path, it goes there before it moves around the room at all... that's pretty awesome.

Edit again: 70.9f in the closet, 72.0f in the room.
