  • Long time no talk......all is well here in Hawaii. Finished my grow. Had to go to Wa in Jan-Feb my father passed. Gave my grow over to a buddy who did very well for a one day training class....lol. It went to long so more of a couch lock effect. The virus has been handled here but am worried about tourists coming back and carrying the sickness.

    I’m going to ca in July for my daughters wedding and then back here to start another op. 25 August I’ll drop seeds and the journey begins again. Hope all is well with you and yours! Aloha.

    Other than posting in reply to one of my threads, not sure.
    @Aloha Haze so during this grow I do have to head out of town for 10 days. What I was thinking was a 35 gallon auto top off res. Thoughts?

    1) look at how much your plants drink per day 2) multiply by 10 3) add a bit as a margin of safety.

    I’m in week 2 of Veg right now. In theory I will be moving into week 2 of flower (after 3 weeks of veg) when I leave. The system holds 35g at the base of the baskets. I’m wondering is it possible they would actually drink more than the entire system in 10 days that early in the cycle?
    Like I mentioned to you earlier my fan set up is all exterior so I have more head height, plus as the air is pulled from the top of the tent it runs across my light when it’s raised all the way up late in bloom. Nutrients is the expert flora series from GH. They started a decades ago so gotta give them so street cred.

    Its funny, prior to building this system I never once did any plumbing. I read a bunch, watched ALOT of YouTube videos and such and then decided to get brave and go for it. First test failed with a crap drilled hole in 1 container, pulled it apart (that was not fun), and replaced that container with well drilled holes. Not a leak since.

    As for the external exhaust. That was actually my first plan. That way I only had to have a little bit of pipe coming into the tent, but then I started walking through it. I tried using 1 exhaust fan for 2 tents, and that didn’t work like it was going to in my head. So I ordered another filter and another fan and then joined them on the outside with a Y

    I wish I could come out of the top vent hole, but that tent is right up against the ceiling. Low basement ceiling.
    I light it with a Kind XL750 LED light. It’s a tremendous light that gives you spectrum control or you can have the light do it for you at its pre-set ranges.
    I have 1 bluelab PH controller connect that is in the Rez to control it constantly. Two bluelab ph, ppm and temp monitors one to read the Rez and one for the secondary Rez that feeds the primary. I believe in some redundancy because ranges aren’t perfect, as long as the system performs at the set parameters I shouldn’t have immediate issues.
    I thought about that but went with the waterfarm that I set up with four, but now two, containers connected to a controller outside the tent. I liked them because they are movable and easily expandable. I run it as a recirculating system using air that pulls the solution from the containers into the control Rez and then returns.
    You have a knowledge of plumbing and are handy wrt construction or your not afraid to tackle hard work. I searched for Amnesia Haze since I’m just finishing with one of them in my grow. You had it listed and what caught my eye was your system and the set up.
