God damn that is looking nice, that is the picture of health right there. Keep up the awesome work dude. What nutes are you using?
Well thank you. Im sticking with the botanicare line atm.

Pure blend pro grow, bloom, cal-mag+, sweet-berry, and 0 ppm RO water (the best part of all)

Nice man, I use cal-mag + and the Sweet Grape that just came out
That sounds tasty, i had some grape-ape from the neighborhood co-op recently, bet it would be great with the sweet grape.

I ran the sweet berry on a headband grow last time around and the taste was so weird:-?. Hoping the purplewreck goes with the berry thing a little better this time.

Sdholic, I want to add my congrats for the grow design and execution! Outstanding! Are you saying those are purple wrecks! I'm holding 13 seeds and if I got it to look like that I'd be doing cartwheels down mainstreet and at 55 I'm not built for that! LOL!

Thanks mr.woodes. Ive been through so many design changes. From SOG to crazy CFL setups, a little passive hydro and even soil. But i gotta say the scrog/dwc has been treating me well.

Hey there mostlycrazy. Thanks for the kind words. Yes, they are purple trainwrecks. One of my favorite tasting strains and not a bad yielder either. Gotta be honest though, the perfectly even canopy was not perfectly even at first. A buddy of mine told me that twisty-ties are a scrog's best friend, and wow was he right. Just tied the extra stretchy bud-sites down to level, so i could lower the light as close as possible.

Can I get a parts list for that pvc set up? Really, that's one of the best set ups I've seen and I want to copy! LOL!
Give me a day, and ill throw a list together for ya. Glad you like it. Its worked very well so far but i do have some tweaks in mind.

Don't care how you got there. It takes art and a growers eye to get an even canopy like that!
Well thanks once again. I was attacked by spider mites and totally ruined last round, so im crossing my fingers that those little fckrs stay away!

I actually found the parts list from my original shopping trip to home depot for the scrog tub thing. So here ya go!

Parts:
1x Sterilite 10 gal black tub (The Container Store)
8x 1/2" 45-degree PVC elbows (Home Depot)
4x 1/2" end PVC endcaps (Home Depot)
4x 1/2" PVC tees (Home Depot)
4x 1/2" 90-degree joint (Home Depot)
1x 1/2" 8' PVC pipe (Home Depot) (Individual lengths dependent on size of grow area)
4x (1/4"x1.5") stainless bolts with wingnuts (Home Depot)
1x 2'x2' section of chicken wire- free (easy to find a small piece of this stuff)

And here's a few pictures of just the bucket/scrog contraption:

Certainly feel free to share anything you find useful. Id be honored to join the bubblehead group. Funny thing. First grow i was ever a part of was a buddys grow who was using the stealth hydro tub. Ill see if i can figure out how to get that avatar in my signature.

Im glad to help in any way i can. These forums are the reason im not killing plants anymore, so anyway i can give back is my pleasure.

Lots of people start in the stealth hydro set up. It was originally labeled a starter system and if you buy their package deal it still is.

I'm at the stage where I want to learn all hydro forms of growing and I've done 5 grows in the system with ever increasing success as I grow (3 bagseed grows and 2 strain grows). This time I built a ebb and flow set-up and plan on having Barney's farm LSD in the bubbleponics (my go to strain to no matter how bad I F it up learning the E&f I'll still have bud), and have 6 plants each in two e&f units. One for Sannie's jack and the other for Subcool's Pandora's Box. At some future point this gives me the option to learn scrog. I was thinking about it early on in my grow career and even bought the chicken wire! LOL!

Go to My rollitup and on the left side is a group of commands. Find edit sig and just copy the badge and paste it as your sig.

Welcome!
