actually its grey and light proof. they were at lowes for a bit but no longer to be found. i bought 8 of them just for the lids, i bet i have 20 of the strongboxes around.

Thanks, I found them at Lowes $14 each got four of them. So spray painting the lid grey is better than black??

no, the lid came in grey and no painting is needed, which is better.

So you found the gray lids,did you find them online or at a local lowes ?

Hey SS, why couldn't a person use the drains we use on the super veggers on the rails? You could cut the end cap and glue the bottom to the rails! That would give access to clean the rails! Sounds too simple, what am I not thinking about?

i thought about many different ways along those lines, but the two main issues i didnt like were the raised lip would leave a pool at the end and possibly be a breeding ground, and blockage, even now i have to pull roots back at times from end drains and they will make it all the way down to the res. not to mention, this shit dont leak.

No I found the yellow lid ones at Lowes. But I had read in Stinkbud book(paid for it) to block the light, spray paint with 2 coats of grey primer then 2 coats of white plastic paint.

SS and co.,

Questions


1. In the triple veg system, my roots get tangled. Do you just cut them tangles out? Before taking to flower room?
2. I'm using plumbing putty, don't have caulk over here. It's working great for leaks. On the label it's says not to use with plastic. Is the plumbing putty ok to use! Won't harm the plants?
3. When you take, your clones. Do you take a few from each plant, or dedicate 3 or 4 plants just for cloning?
4. what's the max humidity I can have in the veg room.

1. every 3-4 days i lift each plant up to help prevent tangles. if they do, i just gently rip them apart, no worries.
2. i use cord weatherstripping, also called rope caulk, in door/window insulation section.
3. i take the ones i like, they are all the same
4. 60 is as high as i like to go but you must have good circulation.

Cheers.

Would reflective walls be good for this setup?

If your roots are tangled really bad I have found the pouring water or the nutes over them helps release the tangles with a gentle tug! Just paint your walls white!

are you talking about leaks between the lids and totes? I use half round rubber weatherstripping! I double it up and staple it at each corner, I then put a stainless steal screw in the middle of each side! This is something you have to play with and decide what works best for you, SS likes the rope caulk and I hate that shit

your just an old fart, old dude.lol

Yea I'm talking about leaks between the totes. They are annoying. I got it sorted with plumbing putty. But that stuff stinks.. And I put a shit ton of it. So I am just playing around for better solution.

Ive been playing with ice cool containers. They get no leaks as is... So I'll try to find one the right size for our needs and get her done. Let u guys know.


My walls are already white, so guess I'm good. Was thinking about putting reflective insulation, but with 6-8 600's it's probably a bad idea.

Anyways this system is pretty amazing... Lush as can be.

Can't you order rope caulk or weatherstripping from somebody like Lowes or Home Depot?

Not worth it, I need a lot for the year.. I just don't like this idea of having to use stuff to stop leaks... I can figure out the right container. If anything. I'll manufacture some leak free containers from china just for our needs.

You don't need to keep replacing it!!!! My way now, is good for close to a year and SS is most likely using his original rope caulk!!!

asshole! i replace it everytime i remove the lid. lol
