considering i only vegged her for 2 weeks and 1 day.

Thank you!! I am interested to see how that turns out. I am torn on weather i am going to use superboost or not. I think if i do it will just be for the last week before flush, instead of last 2.

If you look at the feeding schedule, your suppose to cut out the bloom aqua, and just use superboost and budblaster. Superboost is still your base. The guy at the hydro store told me that superboost really helps hold the pH at 6.2 to help drive in the phosphorus and potassium. Also he said that the superboost with the bud blaster creates a perfect Nitrogen to Phosphorus ratio, having nitrogen in those last few weeks, will help with the essenstial oil production. Thats what i've heard through the grape vine! pass pass toke!

btw UC, nice fucking grow bro! looks good!

I WANT IT!!!
OK, How do I PM YOU, about getting your UCdWC? FIRST, Thank you so much for your very very detailed, informed and inspired Journal. Thank you. I have been designing a RDWC when I finally came across your thread. I was considering the "CC" brand 16 site RDWC(turn key system), & building a controlled insulated room to suit that would be 4' from each side with 9' ceiling hight ( one semi movable wall for double expansion later, (4) 1000W Gavita Pro's Complete Fixtures. I am very much a DIY kinda guy and your grow has proven to me that the tuff boxes and grew containers will work just as well as I'm finding it extremely hard to find those 8gallon Robek tub and hinged lids to buy individually or even as a small pack.

And your complete system may allow me to get my desired extras; (1) AMOS D1 Delux Digital Atmosphere Controller, (1) GEN-2 LP CO2 Generator, (1) 24,000 btu Aura System Air Conditioner (1) Vortex V series 14' 2905 cfm (unless suggested smaller as I calculated the total volume to need to exchange 2225cfm's with a carbon filter scrubber, Sunleaves Aqua CHiller 1/2hp... And since I've now seen your T5 grow just now reading this thread I am still determining my Veg and Clone light system( and suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Your thankful thoughts will be returned in my work towards presenting just as detailed and thorough a share of a spread as you have given a fine example to.
Again, Thanks much for your share, your design, your words and any other readers who words will vibe good energy to a successful grow.

I had to pause finish your thread which had had me up for the full night and day to try and PM you about your units. Thanks again

Thank you for all the kind words Thehealthcoop!

Sounds like you'll be putting together an amazing grow room!

I do like the t5's for veg and cloning they have a great footprint with low heat, I'm using aquarium bulbs but a mix or regular 3500k and 6000k bulbs will work great and save money.

Your welcome! glad the thread could be an inspiration, I know I find good ideas from others all the time.

What are those filters next to the AC for outdoor air?

How does that work if you're running the AC?
Yes I pull in cool air from under my house and filter it before it comes in the room.

I'm not using the AC, actually I'd like to take it out and place 2 more filters where it is.

I also appreciate all of your information and sharing of your experience. This may as well be the offspring of you and Woodsmaneh. Lots of reading later, here's what happened.

Many compromises were forced upon me but I think that the theory will still work. 8 sites in a 4x8x7 tent with 3kw, 240w air pump, 6" charcoal filter drawing through the hoods, ac and 1/4hp chiller.

The build was easy but those uniseals are a pita... everything seems to be working well, the only thing I am worried about is losing humidity to the ac but it doesn't seem to drop too fast. I am using your drip hose idea for air and I am happy with the results.

I am going to run supernatural on this also, any recommendations? This will be the first time using the line.

Planting next week or so. I can't wait!!!

Nice Room & system you put together there Afistakis!

Are those 20 gallon totes?... That system is a monster! but looks like things could get crowded in a hurry though.

How many supernatural products did you buy? I have a Supernatural hydro feeding chart I'll post for you. Undercurrents tend to run on 1/2-3/4 the recommended nute strength. I use the aquagrow from clone to flower even thought they recommend the superboost for clones, I'd like to try there superlicious product during flower some time to see if it really adds smell and flavor. The problem I have with supernatural is ordering everything from one distributer, I usually end up with multiple shipping charges but over all it's super easy to work with, always mix it and let it sit, giving time for the nutes to fully dissolve before introducing it to your system.

Nice to have another Uc'er around here.
Happy growing

Thanks for the encouragement!

I got the 18gal rubbermaid roughtotes. I tried to tetris the tough boxes in there to get 27 gallons per. Although it was possible, it would have been a shoe horn operation. I also have a 950 gph mag drive pump mounted external like your setup next to the chiller. I realize that space is already at a premium. The plants have to be on a 24" center because of the tent. Height is of great concern but I will cut the top out of the tent if I have to because that would be the lesser of the two evils! XD


I have a good amount of the Supernatural line:

Super Boost
Gro Aqua
Bloom Aqua
Bud Blaster
Ultimate B
Super Leach
Green Stay
Quality Cure

I am not sure if I will use the cure because I have read less than shining reviews on its performance. Any information you could share to help speed up my learning curve would be much appreciated. I am coming from dirt and limited DWC but I am excited to see how this all works out.

Is there a way to insure that the uniseals don't leak? I am concerned about the flimsy nature of the connection into the thin totes. I was thinking of using polyurethane or silicone caulk but I am unsure how well either would fare or impact the environment.

I hear you on that I bought the quality cure but I haven't used it, I also have a bottle of the stay green but they're always green so most of the bottle is still left.
I'd like to try the ultimate b as well so I'll be interested in how yours comes along
Have you started a thread for your new dwc endeavors?

Thanks. I don't want to chance a leak.

I ordered my nutrients through amazon and everything was reasonable especially in contrast to local gardening shops. I wish there was a way I could support local but there is no way I am willing to afford a 100% markup.

-EDIT- If I wasn't a slow typist and or didn't have a sick baby, this may have been above your answering the following...

Do you recommend that I use or throw out the super boost? The roots you are putting down seem to speak for the effectiveness of the gro aqua if that's all you're using!!! You aren't using the bloom aqua either? Are you using any of their other stuff? At least I didn't buy the full line of AN... :wall:

Thanks for helping me with all my noob questions and helping me step up my game!
