Overwatering in DWC?

Enigma said:

I no longer use totes, they aren't food safe and will degrade over time. Earl never mentioned any problems, I'm just picky.

Good info.

Yea that's my chiller system I don't have hooked up, 3 buckets. Lot of trial and error with leaks and keeping the three level. Tried automatic return lines, couldn't return fast enough. Got a pump wasn't enough. So I'm gonna just get two of the same pump on send and return.

Edit: also have settled I need grommets to line the hole of the bucket for the ebb n flow nozels too....stuff was going good on the single bucket system and it was getting frustrating overcomeing thd trial and errors so I set it aside assuming that will also have kinks to work out even when I could get it to appear I had the system operating properly.

I'll PM you an idea when I get back home.

but I've seen 8gal square buckets id kind of like to use instead of my 5gal circle.

I have a bunch of these Waterfarms with everything you see in the pic except the air pump and hose just sitting for years and years since I went organic that are clean and newish I want to get rid of but I don't want to ship them etc, so if you're around me...

Not 8 gal, but good shit nonetheless, grow monster trees.

You NE coast?

South east across the border. Oh well.
Back to our regularly scheduled program.

Ok, I sent you two messages. The concept is very simple, but wordy to explain. It might also fix the problems you were having when you tried it before.

If you have any questions, PM me. I'll be more than happy to help.

On my way to work, I'll get to check that out when I get out enigma. Figured I'd give a short update. They def did not like my full line, and were trying to drink them self out of drowning. If you touched the leaves your fingers would feel wet. Lowering it to bottom of net last night seemed to allow them to go back to normal condition. Happy.

You've got some monsters goin on there man. NICE! x2

Ty! I def had a lot of kinks I worked out through veg being first time around. But I'm hoping I can limit the mishaps during flower. I have some pretty high expectations for yield and quality for a first timer....I'm hoping to get 12 between them.....cross your fingers....

That orca paper is really nice.....

I've always aimed low, made sure I checked all of my variables and changed one at a time. If I achieved my low yield I was happy to smoke my own, when I did better I was ecstatic!

They're looking great!

You're doing fine!

Well I figure at least 6 will carry me through another grow but that would be rather disapointing. My buddy's grow I mimicked other then his light (I went led he uses HPS) he gets 12-14 average per plant. So I was hoping my 12 for both was low lol.

Thanks man, I feel like I got the veg proccess down pretty well. But I'm also feeling like flowering is a whole other animal.

Yup still nice and happy. I really think my improper trimming method from early in veg made these girls scared to grow vertically. They just get fatter and fatter and bushier and bushier. I've thinned them out countless times.

Hopefully these will be big buds in 9 weeks! Think this is enough action to start the counter on flower? I have a microscope to check trich, just as a guesstimate.

You could flip now, if you use the blurple light for the first two to three weeks it will keep them short, after the stretch stops switch to the thumper.

Well I have been on 12/12 for almost 2 weeks now. But I've heard it isn't considered flowering as soon as you flip. Unfortunately I have no "thumper" using this LED from start to finish.... They claim equilvelant yield yet more potent and more terpines for flavor and smell..... California solar storm 440. It also includes two UVB bulbs and a seperate switch to activate them. And for 800$ a pop I'm hoping it's all I need :-/
