Thanks kriz! The pump I'm using is a 'Penn Plax Air Pod 30'. Here's a link to what it looks like: http://www.petsandponds.com/en/aquarium-supplies/c5943/p17162588.htmlLooking awesome, Dayzt! Can't wait to try a SCOTTY grow myself. Otter's was a total show, too. I have about 1-2 months left on my current grow, but I'm already excited to get going on this next grow. I swear that I change my mind on the strain I'd like to rock at least once a day.
Quick question. What kind of air-pump are you using? Do you like it? Is it very loud? Thanks in advance.
Thanks man - changing the rez on the waterfarm isn't as big a deal as it looks. The 'level-tube' on the side allows you to drain the whole thing into a lower-sized conatiner and I can even tilt it a bit to get pretty much all of the water out each time. I use a large-sized low-profile zip-lock container to pour-back the replacement liquid, straight in the top of the waterfarm through the hydroton - works great. I've got just enough room to maneuver down there so it only takes about 15 min to do the rez change.Big mama!!!!!!!!!!! Subscribed i read the whole tread and you are doing a beautiful job.
Can't imagine all the work you have to do to change the rez..... But well paid beautiful keep on
Wow, somehow I can't see it yielding even near 16 oz... but here's to hopin!You should get over a pound with no problem. More pictures?
This is still the 400w HPS conversion bulb in my CMH lamp. I thought about switching to the 600 but decided to just stick with this light through to finish. I wanted to do the whole grow in the small tent so with the temps I've been getting with the 400, I don't know if the 600 would be controllable with all the extra heat. The 600w is a cooltube though, so it may be still possible to keep the temps low enough by venting the tube properly...Continues to look great, Dayzt. Perhaps you said so in the thread a while back, so I apologize if it's already been addressed, but did you ever switch up to the 600w, or is this still the 400w?
Thanks man - welcome!looks lovely...
CMH lamp or MH lamp? I was under the impression that CMH was just bulb tech. Could be totally wrong here. I'm pretty green when it comes to this sort of thing.This is still the 400w HPS conversion bulb in my CMH lamp.

Yeah I'm not totally sure on that terminology - I thought the 'ceramic' was referring to the type of socket. It has one of those old box-style metal ballasts.CMH lamp or MH lamp?

You got it - exactly right! I got that conversion bulb in order to switch my light to HPS during flowering and use the same ballast/socket setup. I've been only using my 400w light for veg up until this grow though, and moving the plants under the 600w lights in the big tent. But with just the one plant this time, I wanted to practice scrogging in this new smaller tent and the 600 is a bit too hot for that small tent.Ha, I see the confusion. Yeah, most reflectors have ceramic sockets, but a Ceramic Metal Halide bulb is a certain type of bulb specifically. They run on HPS magnetic ballasts only. I'm guessing you have a MH magnetic ballast, otherwise why use an HPS conversion bulb?
Pretty well? I'd say you're crushing it! I don't know if you'll pull a full pound like that other guy was saying, but I would be surprised if you pull less than 12 ounces of ridiculous trees.You got it - exactly right!

I think this light is doing pretty well though considering it's only 400w - the small space allows for better use of the light with the reflective walls in the tent.
