A 30 gallon tub would be great. I'm a little limited on height which is why I went with a lower profile reservoir.

It sounds like you have a good knowledge of purple strains, maybe towards the end you'll recognize what it is I have here.

thanks for the suggestions mate and the link i'm in the uk so i'll have to have a hunt about, my local hydro store stocks them but they're a little on the flimsy side and overpriced 2x4 cost £30 and i'd want probably 3 of them to help stability. i'm going to have a hunt around and compare prices against making one out of fibreglass i'm just not sure if chemicals will leach out i've lined commercial planters in the past but that was for large companies that don't care about whats in them. i'm going to knock up a small version for 1 clone and hand water and see if there's any reactions. failing that there's always the net, do you use a medium mate i was under the impression one was needed?

I use rockwool as that is what I originally started with and it's worked well. I started with 4" cubes but prefer the 6" for stability and I'll flood those twice per day. I'll flood about 1 hour into flower and about 90 minutes before the lights go out. In veg I'll flood every 12 hours.

thanks mate i was told i'd need expanded clay balls to cover the rockwool cubes, that'll teach me for asking about thin plastic covers for them in the hydro shop.
now i know i won't have to fill it with medium it will make the search alot easier, i'll probably just pick up one of there's if i don't like it i can always use it for a mould, cheers mate you saved me a few pound and a lot of hunting around much appreciated.

i'm defiately takin notes.

Is it hard to fight mold and or mildew or alge on the rockwool cubes?

I've peeked at your grow journals and I'm not sure I can teach you much. You're product looks quite impressive!

Some mold would appear on the cubes but it was never an issue. I've found that if you have good air flow and elevate the cubes off the tray, even by 1/4 inch, that's enough to make sure they're not sitting in a puddle of water which can cause mold. I've elevated them all with a few 2"x2" ceramic tile pieces. Now if I wasn't such a cheap bastard and bought a proper hydro table, they'd naturally be elevated due to the design of those tables. Another thing I had to purchase was a commercial grade humidifier and that keeps the humidity in check to a point where mold has a hard time living here now.

really nice lookin nugz u got there. full of trichomes

Subbed !

colors on those buds' awesome !

bet it smells great too ..

looking at your pics and the description of your plants you may have killing feilds f2 which is a sativa dominate purple strain..with the high you've described as well, from sannies seeds...your plants look very healthy and it looks like your doing great job I have a couple indoor plants for personal but the majority is outdoors for yeild, I have 18 females mainly great white shark all being an average of 7 ft tall and 4ft wide truly monster bushes..the avatar pic is the biggest one at 8ft tall and 4.5ft wide..I'm hoping to pull about 800 grams off that one girl the rest I plan for about an LB per plant besides a few smaller girls that I hope for a qp..

i'll be keepin an eye out for some more bud shots

hey home brewer you gave me some advice awhile back & it was good so i took it whatever you got is beautiful ,looks simular to purplewreck i grew a few months back anyway ,whats in a name ??? they look good

Wow yeah, gorgeous! Lovin the DIY hydro kit! I could never see buying actual hydro gear myself...it's just tubs, tubes and pumps, maybe a garbage can.

homebrewer got your message im not too slick with the computer so i'll reply here the advice you gave me was about organic nutes gh-flora series nutes i got many replies but yours seemed sensible

They work for me. Stick around for their results .

looks great bro, SUBSCRIBED!

that shit looks fucking bomb bro

I believe these are at day 43 of 77 and they're coming along as expected. Again, res changes each week and pH balanced to 5.8 as needed. They'll be getting the same proportions of the GH expert line for the next 2 weeks or so, then I'll switch to the ripening stage which I'll get into later. I'll try to take pictures of the same flowers from the same angles so you can see the progress and color change.

Thanks
