For All Cap Ebb and Grow Users

i think boxing is refering to some minor pruning, just clear away all they littl twiggy stuff that isnt getting light, just do only the lower 25% of the plant. i do more advanced stuff but i wouldnt recommend this to you yet, right now just focus on keeping it clean down there for the sake of air flow

Does anyone have a tape mearsure handy? I need to know the diameter of the reservior (measure the lid from one side to the other). I am at work doing some cad work for my friend's grow room. Thanks a lot.

I'm guessing 28"?

According to Wikipedia a standard 55 gallon drum has a diameter of 23.5. I'm not at home but that seems small in my mind's eye.

yeah morris is right im not to the cutting down part im only in my second week of flower but they are getting real big and bushy quick,.... any tips on how to move this system i just got a new house and have to move verything out of my apt this weekend my plants are probably 24" tall and am reall worried about killing them in the move

ouch, well as you know by now the plants in the system can go atleast 6hours without water, now take away the fact that they will not be under intense HID lighting they can make it even longer without water. when i used to drive delivery for a flower shop the real delicate stuff would go into its own milk crate and tied into the crate using wire or string so that it didnt move inside the crate, we also used a van. so if you can rent one or have a friend to help, but this is not advised. if can afford rent a van and do this yourself. i once moved a soil Op but i also had an SUV. if you have that recipe for succes kit that comes with the system you may want to foliar your plants after they are in the new home, use the thrivealive green or red it dont matter, this helps with stress. good luck

everythings legal on my side, but my lights turn on at 6pm and off at 6 am so i will be moving the plants in the dark period, i was thinking about butting one in a huge box with a trash bag covering the top so the box is taller and nothing can get in the box.... would this work? its only like a 20 min drive from where i am now so they wont have much time in the truck

If they are already in 12/12 flower, move the plants during their light period. The dark period is much more important that they get 12 hrs of uninterupted darkness. It won't hurt any if they get extra dark time.

Saweeeet Good lookin yo!

so would you guys say it woulbe be best to move like right at 6-pm berfore the tights are supposed to go on?

yes dont interupt the dark cycle, its never good to move but it happens, your main issues will be bugs, stress and security and last but not least transporting in a vehicle that has the room to not break your prescious branches, if ya stuff is legal make sure you have all your paper work ready, just if you have some kind of supplement like liquid karma or thrive alive or superthrive or a vitamin, try to drench your buckets when your settled in, fastest way is to foliar like i said before, with the addition of fresh nutes in your first res after the move, hygrozyme will also help your plants , they wont skip a beat

has any one ever used a green light bulb during dark cycle i was told if u use the green light it does not effect the plant in dark stage

yeah i use a green light. i think this thread had some real value but i think it's kind of getting off topic. lots of the questions are just straight up general questions and allthough they are helpful to get answered quickly they make it hard to find the Ebb and Grow specific conversation.

EBB AND GROW USERS, anyone using a different system to veg in? if so how, aero mediumless? i want to veg in another room but i dont want to buy a second ebb and grow (yet). was thinking about using a aero setup and just dropping them into the buckets when they are ready.

I'm setting up a veg tent, but I'm using another bucket system. I didn't want to do it, but it's too damn convenient. They won't be in the veg tent long enough to grow roots into the plumbing, so I won't have to swap out those hoses too often.

Vegging in netpots in another system (aero, DWC, E/F, whatever .... does not really matter) then just dropping pot and all in the buckets works good. You can also veg for awhile in 16oz solo party cups full of coco and then transplant that into whatever you want if you have to go ghetto for awhile.

aero cloner directly to the e&g is great, your right X, this thread got way off topic, lets try to clean this up guys

I'm cloning in aero and vegging in a turbogarden flood and drain in 5 inch net pots. When The buckets are available, the netpots go into the buckets.

i veg mine in a home made rubbermaid ebb flo table in 4x4 plastic pots veg 2-3 weeks then pop 'em inthe bucketsfor one more week, and off we go

can you use the ebb and grow with out a medium like rockwool?or can you just use hydroton and put the rooted clones in that?

Yes
