aloha brah!
the only thing i don't like about the islands is the cost of electricty...
good luck on your grow dude!

doctorD · Mar 15, 2009

The electric can be high but at over $450 an oz its still cheaper.

Greyskull · Mar 15, 2009

true that!
any plans for back up power in case the islands power goes out for a day or 2?

hows the outdoor scene - no more green harvest soon, yeah? fuckers need to worry about the ice coming from the philipines!!!!

doctorD · Mar 15, 2009

funny you should mention that it just went out tonight but for like 5 min only. I don't have ant plans if power goes out but in in Fox farm ocean forest. so I dont have to worry about pumps. If the lights go out I have a sunny window I can use.

here are some new pics. I changed my mind and im not going to do soil after all. I go out of town now and then and dont have anyone I would trust to water for me. So im going with a DWC setup. I saw a post here some time ago and did some checking and I think its the best way to go for me. So I went to the grow store and picked up a few things as well as a stop at wal-mart. See what I made.....It was easy just got a 10gal tote, air stone and a pump (it came with a check valve) and your net pot. A bit of cutting, some drilling and done. I still need to get some silicone to stick down the airstone then im gona run it.

sweet man
make sure your holes are sealed good so you don't have any leaks

doctorD · Mar 16, 2009

Thanks for the tip I thought about that and made the hole for the airline at the top so my water level will max out at about 4" from the top. I also was planning on having 2 in each tub and if you look in the pic you can see that I had it marked off for the 2 but I didnt like hoe close the plants would be as they got bigger so I went with one.

I've done almost exactly what you're doing there, except with buckets instead of bins.

It work amazing, you're gonna be so happy.

Your bin holds more than a 5gal bucket (it's a 10 gallon bin, right?)

One of those UPS they use with computers would probably keep the pump going for a little while if the power goes out, but I dunno how long it would last.

What are you using for light? Nutes?

doctorD · Mar 19, 2009

Yes the totes are 10 gal but I have 8gal of water as the pots hang down. For food im using advanced nutrients. Its pricey but works great. I had $600 worth when the new job in Hawaii came up. I couldnt just toss it so I put it on a boat with my lights and such. I had 900lb of crap to ship and it was mostly grow stuff. Lights fans etc. For light im using a 150watt cfl for the seedlings but will move to my 430 hps when I get back home. Im in seattle now then going to chicago then back on sunday. I also have a few of my seeds that i going to trade with a buddy in chicago and I ordered some from attitude last night. Now Ill have about 15 strains in my collection So now I dont know what to grow. Oh and of the 6 I had going only 1 of the indoor mix and one of the haze make it none of the big bud sprouted hell when I pulled open the rockwool to see what the fuck was going on the seed had some fuzz on it I can only guess was mold. Never had that happen before so Im not sure what I did wrong. I really dont think it was me but it could be. Ill post some pics on monday when I get back home.

I havent had the 400 up and running yet so I dont know what the heat will be like but im sure I can address it.

Greyskull · Mar 19, 2009

are you venting the reflectors/are they sealed ?

doctorD · Mar 21, 2009

Yes my hood is sealed and has a fan pulling out the hot air. Like I said I havent put it up yet but I ran the came thing at my old house and never had any temp proplems so I think Ill be ok

doctorD · Mar 24, 2009

Ok im back in town and the 2 I have going are doing great Ill post pics tomorrow

maxswellsc · Mar 24, 2009

did u get fem. seeds from nirvana or just regular? Someone wrote to me that im pretty much a kook cause i didnt get all fem. seeds. If my growing coditions are prime will i be likely to get more females than males even without having fem. seeds?

doctorD · Mar 25, 2009

Nope i didnt waste the money on all fem its not worth it. You only need to get one then its all clones
