The second round with the UnderCurrent, The $6,500 expearment gets better

Security is a good thing. Someone broke into the front of the house and stole my wallet. No big deal I guess, except it has my state issues grower identification card!!

Seems a house alarm is in the works

I have 3 pit bulls that range in size from 45 to 100 pounds plus a 13 foot gate with a 300 foot drive way and on the gate it shows a pix of a big snarling dog and says "I can make it to the gate in 3.5 seconds Can you!" 8 wireless IP cams with 50" night vision and 4 with ir. Proximity alarms and lights at gate and 4 corners around house. I don't need all that but I do liquidations and run across all kinds of stuff cheep. and I'm a tecnology freek I like using that stuff.

My dogs won't chase lazers or take food from anyone but me and the wife. They will let you in but won't let you out. BnE guys use the lazers to distract the dogs or toss food into a room through the window than when the dogs chow down they enter and close the door and trap the dogs. The steal doors is more to comply with gov. requirments, a little over kill but that's me.

Guess your back from your road trip, fine mess u come back to here at RIU. The farm is down.


The security team eats 275$ of food a month, 3 bags of the best.

Yeah indeed I Did some reading and bought some adt alarm signs. Also going to get a cheap wireless alarm system. I live in a very urban area..like 10 minutes from down town. Kind of the cost of Being able to get Chinese food at 1:00am

Would love to get a dog, but I'm really a cat guy. I like to grab my pets, pet them when I want to, then letting them go away.

I have a central res that feeds all the pails. They are all connected with 4" or 3 1/2" pipe. The central res is fed by a 45 gal raised back up res with an auto fill on the plant res. side. I use RO water and don't even ph as it is at 7.0 but because the ppm is so low as soon as it hits the plant res it corrects to 5.5 to 5.8 so no issues there.

Here are some pix showing what I did and how it works, any more questions ask away bro..

home depot, wallmart, lowes, target. They are just storage totes.. unless you are talking about the original UC containers. Those are available online, there are links out there if you google DIY UC a thread will pop up. They are pretty pricey.. like $14 a piece or something.

Any tote will do but you want to make sure that you have a fllat point on the side big enough to install the uniseal and 3" pipe.. Which means a 4" hole.

Great weather and time to BBQ

Nice wood! Friday i got a treager grill

hey woods what do you set your ppm and ph in your res when you first but clones just starting to root do you slowly raise it as more roots start to come if yes by what incurments for example 200 ppm to 300 ppms also the ph i have read that ph is not too important the ppm number is what matters but i have also that ph is just as important as ppm i'am new to all this and i'am doing alot of reading up also i was wondering if i put 2 frozen 2litre bottles in my res do you think that will help with cooling the water temp instead of buying a chiller

Hey beginner, .. and woods I don't mean to hijack... If you want the straight dope on rooting out clones.. then read this thread and follow his advice to a T..

fuck, of course THC farmer is down.... Go there when it is up and read "rooting in the UC or veggin gin the UC undre the UC forum.

Short answer.. minimal nitrogen and low PH for rooting out. Like say 300ppm, mostly p and K and 5.2-5.5 ph.

When the plants start to root and grow you will increase your PPM steadily. 200 or so every week is a good bet. When your plants are around 1 foot by 1 foot you should be around 400PPM in the UC..or at least I am. PH can swing around.

What you really need to do is take readings every day and write them down. Then look at them and see what is happening. When the PPM are about perfect for the plants the PH stays pretty steady. PH up and PPM down.. Good... let them go a little. PH still climbing, PPM getting a little low... add a little nutrients and knock the PH down.

PH falling..... WARNING WARNING WARNING!!

And here is the best grow advice you will ever get... ALWAYS tend to the lower side of the PPM scale. IF you start to see problems, (plants looking a little yellowish, purple veins, maybe some mag deficiency or calcium spots) then bump it up a little.. SOO many people think..oh yeah, they are healthy and HUNGRY!!! Here you go amn, EAT a fuck load and get me high as fuck!!!! It just doesn't work like that. Healthy people don't gorge themselves at buffets full of tons of extra shit they don't need, same goes for plants.

Cheers!.

Well starting to get my orders in, got my new air pump, boy is it big and it will handle 33 air stones = 2 x 8" stones in each bucket. Will post pix tomorrow. Got my 36 new air stones. Cleaned out the UC tonight, going to re-do the big room and make majour changes, move the chiller outside and just about everything else is going outside including ballast.


Intresting note I took the temps of my ballast and the core ones were 115 to 122 degrees and my Lumatec 1000 was 115 to 119, so much for running cooler. Make's me fee better about buying 3 more core 1000w for the new room.

The new deep water air pumps offer high volume with steady air flow. Energy efficient, quiet operation. Single outlet discharge.12.25" x 8.5" x 8.75" 6' cord. Suitable for ponds up to 10,000 gallons. 9150 cu.in/min. air volume 100 watts. Includes 7.25 plastic air diffuser with 33 air outlets. (3/4" ID air tubing not included) Max water depth 11'6" Pressure +6.53 psi. Rated at 45db.
Only 100w

My cloner is working gang busters, 14 days today and have a ton of roots, pix tomorrow. Built a new mom room and put a 4x6 flood table in there for my mom's and clones. Have a 400w and 4 x 4' T5's,

Really nice set-up. RDWC grows mini-trees. Keep up the good work.

Here is the update on my DIY bubble cloner. I started them on May 6 and it's been 15 days as you can see it works fine. I will put these right into the UC in about 5 to 7 days. When I have the room re-build and everything moved outside for better cooling. Temps are 76 to 81.

So here is the monster I ordered, can run 33 lines from it, will put 2 6" air stones in each bucket and have air to spare. Have my water fracturing pumps coming for the epicenter's and thinking of running the main feed hose through the chiller res to cool the air, what do think? The pump will be outside with the rest of the equipment.

Needed some room for my mom's and clones so looked around and re-cycled some stuff I had laying around. 4x6 ebb & flow, timer, small air pump, 250gal res pump and a 400w. The other side has the blubber and some seeds ect. under 4 four foot T5's.

this is my new toy, it is made for fish and has some limitations, like it will only measure to 6.4 pH, it might change, may not. What I do like about it is it will take continuous readings for temp and a few others, and send it to my computer and I can check the system from my smart phone and it will send alarms out to any device I want. It is upgrade able and cost me $99.00, here is the link will post as I start to use it. You just toss it in you tank or my case res.

Had to buy more lights....

Here are the girls at 8 1/2 weeks and a few days to go yet. Ran them a little to hot last 2 weeks and you can see some curl and burn. I have 3 kushes and 2 of my strains, #7 ( I decided to call it [FONT=arial, sans-serif]Novocaine, leaves you numb for long time [/FONT]) and Yellow ( I decided to call it blue storm), not big on names but what the heck EH!. My #7 was 7 of 40 seeds from a cross and it was the best one and yellow was the same thing, just used colors. I have been breading for quite a while and don't mind spending good money on seeds. Always looking for the next best thing to cross with the last next best thing, if you get my drift, LOL mad scientist in me..

Nice updates wood, and toys im saving up for a 13gal xxxl 12 site uc system might be a few month but im sold

no sub pump?

when i drop a pump in the to spray on to the stalks (before roots) the water leaks out the sides (I use tuperware just like that)

you just fill the water high and throw a shit ton of air in there?


great white roots! nice!

I add some food but that's all I do, tons of bubbles and the stalkes are submerged in the water.
