They're still going, I meant to get out there last night, but it was pissing down with rain so I cbf, I decided to chop down my home grow instead, I'll have an update tonight after I refill the res'
This time I'm a ask the right person, you mentioned that you turn the valve off every two days. May I ask why do you have to do that? I was under the impression that the auto valves do that for you when the medium gets too dry.

In not miccy but I think it's a bit like a soil grow water regime no timers no pumps just gravity and water on water off (with nuites)controller by a simple tap could b wrong miccys the only one that can truthfully answer it but that's how it looks like it works to me....
I know how the Autopots work as I've done research on them and have almost purchased them I just wanted to know why he turns the valve off that controls when the water will be gravity fed. My reason I think he does this is because it's keeping the medium too wet and is causing overwatering. I just wanted to know why he does this

haha, have you started building yet? will you be ordering the panels already cut to size or will you cut them yourself? Cutting the panels was the only thing I hated about the build.

Hey Miccy whats up? May I ask what was your GW yield from your grow with those autopots? I almost got all my equipment upgraded, I'm just waiting on the 6'' inline fan and tall boy carbon filter. Next I will order my seeds, I like the fact that you grew only one strain instead of multiple strains. I'm going to follow that example in my next grow.

I think he grew two strains Yogi. One on each side of the room. When running hydro systems with more than one plant you have to run the same cus running different strains in on system leaves the possibility that one of the strains doesn't do good or both don't do good. That's why he had two different res'. I'm gonna run me a system something like that once I get the space but it'll prolly be three big plants cus I just don't like having to take care of a lot of small plants.

I'm sure he's prolly busy. Having to ride to your grow room and all that is a hassle but hope everything is good. Would like to know how these turn out

Thanks for the info, I will grow only one strain this time. I will give you a sneak peak of my new stuff. I just ordered a new 6" inline fan from HTG Supply, I should get it any day now. then I'm ordering 10 Master Kush seeds from Nirvana. I've been wanting to grow that strain for a while now. I already bought some of my nutrients, the guy that sold me the pots recommended Mills nutrients because they work well with the pots. So I picked up Basis 3-0-6 A & Basis 0-4-3 B I will be getting the C4 and the Ultimate PK later down the line. I don't need them right now.

No problem bro anything I can do to help I will. Loving the new equipment you got cant wait till I move from where I'm at so I can setup a nice big tent. I'm gonna get one of those huge Gorilla tents. HTG Supply is my favorite store I live in there lol. There's one in my city and I'm so happy it is because I would hate having to wait for everything I need when I just drive 15 mins from my house. Do you have an exhaust fan?

I don't know too much about Nirvana but I know they have a few good strains. Don't know if they're Master Kush is any good but there's some other Breeders out there with good reviews of it. Look at Humboldt Seed Organization they have a lot strains that are really good and they're fems are stable. They have a Master Kush and you may just choose them over Nirvana.

Never heard of those nutes but it looks like its geared more for blooming but that doesn't mean it cant supply the plant what it needs to grow as I've seen plenty of grows that used nothing but bloom base from start to finish and grew fire. But IMHO you may need a N add to help boost the N as it may not have enough in the base you have. Every strain is different so the only way to know is to choose your strain and grow it see what happens. Oh if you get another res you could run two strains one on each side just like Miccy. Cant wait till you get everything running.

Thanks a lot for the info. As of yet I don't have the 6'' exhaust fan yet, I'm waiting for it to be delivered this Friday along with a tall boy carbon filter that I ordered from HTG Supply, because they had better prices than my local hydroponics supply store. I'm only patiently waiting because I don't have any seeds yet, lol. And yeah I have gotten bad seeds from Nirvana and they are a piece of shit company that refuse to send me replacements. An entire 5 pack of seeds that they sent me of Aurora were young immature seeds and none of them germinated. I emailed them and they said that they never had anyone have that problem before. Out of the billions of seeds they have sold no one has had a complaint, REALLY can you believe that shit? No fucking way!!! Needless to say they give me 1500 loyalty points that won't even buy me a pack of seeds. I honestly want to say fuck them and never spend them. I have bought seeds from Attitude before but most of the time my seeds were taken by customs. So I hate to order from them, I wish that I could buy seeds here in the US

Fasho bro that's what we're all here for each other's help. Man I love HTG I look at everything online and then go right into the store and they have stuff that's outta stock online. They're cool people too

Man I've heard so much about Nirvana I wouldn't dare take the chance of ordering seeds from them. That's sad how they treated you so that's enough for me right there to never get anything from them or distributor. Attitude is pretty good but if your seeds are going Chicago customs you won't get them. You know there's a few other places to get beans from that are getting through customs like Herbies, The Single Seed Center and a few others that I can't think of right now.

You can buy seeds here in the US now. We have a company called Natures Green Remedies. It's located in Michigan and they have some very good genetics on there. I've ordered from them and they're top notch to me. Some people complain about beans not coming fast enough and not getting the email with tracking fast enough but I tell all people that complains that it's one person doing everything so you have to cut him some slack. As many orders I know he's getting it's hard to have every single order on time. But you will get the beans and some freebies if things don't go smoothly. If you spend over 45 shipping is free under 45 it's 5 bucks. It comes in priority mail so there's no customs :) and I for one am very happy I don't have to worry about that anymore. Check them out bro I'm sure you will like them; they just don't have the selection of breeders like Attitude does but they have some top notch breeders. Peace

I got my fan in today, it was a bitch hanging it up by myself. It was fucking heavy and was way bigger than I expected. It is fucking huge, but I'm glad I got this shit done. Shit cost me quite a bit of money to upgrade both my reflectors, fan and carbon filter. I have to wait till income tax time to upgrade my ballast and bulbs. I may get a chiller as well, but I don't know yet because I'm still researching. Now all I need is some fucking beans lol.

I'm glad you got everything finally and was able to get it all set up. Yes those high velocity fans are huge and heavy. I have two cheap ones from HTG but I'll upgrade after this grow and use one of my cheap ones for exhaust.

I understand bro believe me I'll be doing some more upgrading around tax time too. Don't worry just be patient and work with what you got. Did you check out NGR? Hurry up and get some beans man cus if you don't your gonna drive yourself crazy by looking at that empty equipment lol

Yes I did check out NGR and I liked what I saw. I also checked out Herbies and saw some cheap Purple Kush $55. for 10 feminized beans. Problem is I am out of cash, lol I need to earn some more bread. Question I set the fan up different this time. I have it blowing through the lights instead of pulling, it makes the ducting stiff lol. How do you have yours set up? Do you have any pictures? Do I need a separate exhaust fan as well?

I don't have mines set up the way it should be but since I'm not drawing cool air from outside the two cheap fans I have on the hood is exhausting the air out the room. This is not ideal to cool the lights but you want to draw air from outside the tent.

Just like you have the fan blowing air across you need to attach ducting to the end of the fan and bring the air from outside the tent, then have your ducting on the other side of the hood exhausting out the tent. I hope that helps I can find a diagram to show you if needed

Oh and that's just for cooling the light. You want to have a inline fan bringing fresh air in and have one exhausting the stale air out. I only have one bringing fresh air in as I told you I haven't set my closet up as it should be but it will be ok. I'll up grade some stuff soon.

Yea guys everyone's got to up grade as they progress.I got my tax return recently and bought new ballast light and shade to add to wot I've already got (love getting new toys)but for the systems u have a separate intake is needed.No good being done just pulling air from outside through the lights and out the filter ...
