Wow great read, so happy to see you finish successful (especially with all the doubters). My state will be legal pretty soon and your thread is an inspiration to plan for success.

Well thank you..
I had to switch it up due to flooding my neighbor out. To much water in use to have neighbors. It cost me. Putting to gether. 4x8 trays going to do 2 levels when i have the clones. Getting there. Have 4 full so far and 500 clones about to be planted. Couple pix not good quality.

Wasup growers! At first was sad to have to switch up the uc systems. But like someone said way back earlier in the thread that since im not limited on plant count there is no great reason to run rdwc. My 8gal didnt have the spacing needed to grow trees. Thats where you can kill it. I have heard of 5lb per bucket in 13gal. Not realizing how much space the 1 bucket takes. So with limited space i think the stacked 4x8 trays will yield a lot more. Sog as much as i can no veg time. These first had some veg waiting on my rdwc plants to recover from the transplant. Here some pix. They dont do any justice. The video i have looks way more cool.

It was me that said that about plant count I think. If it were me I'd frame up a fairly small veg room with a bunch of shelves with T5's so you can veg clones for a couple weeks.

Idk the ones that veg u cant really fit near as many on a 4x8. So its really a trade off it seems. Veg get bigger plants and do less numbers or more with less veg. They need 3-5 days max depending on the roots going into the pot if you want to get 4per sf. Maybe smaller pots as well. Idk. I got like 48 or less on a 4x8 that vegged 2 weeks.
Yes it was you that said that. Big plants are more of a pain to deal with imo. And single stock buds way easier to trim up.

I tend to agree, that some veg is needed to maximize yield. Especially if your running seed but unless you root big clones they still benefit from a small veg time. Wouldn't take much space cause they are so small you can grow em on shelves

Thank you man.
Here it is tho. My last run i rushed one system and one was good. I was draining for the first half change out i disconnect the pump from the out side and put a hose and drain. Then i have a pump in my res with pre mixed nutrient and pump back into epicenter. I fucking left my pump off for 4 days man. I had slacked on monitoing my blue lab app so i didnt notice the 73f first bucket to 63f epicenter temp. When i did notice i thought my probe was not all the way down. Then i noticed the color on roots. Then no bubbles and my heart dropped. So fucking mad a yelled at myself loud asf! So there you have it. I wanted to share all. Not tryin to hide the fuck up. Main cause of failure is user error and here it is at its finest. Only took couple pix. Was very disgusted in myself. Got to comfortable with the biggest pocketfull of cash i have ever had as my own. Lol. To busy spending money. They were apx 2 weeks into it Cost me about $6000 5 weeks..

Nice work BDT!! I’m on 2nd run on similar systems (2-24 site custom CC systems). I’ve had my “user” errors as well man...I always take it as well I’ll never do that again! I’ll take some better pics but cool to see someone go through some of the same growing pains...

Well i didnt mean to veg them so long but none are in veg. I aim to fit more plants in area by lolliepopping them. But it took my plants in the uc to recover from the transplant. Waited for them to show signs of improvment. Plus the lanky lookin ones are dosidos zkittles its how it grows. There are a few colas on each so i spread them out. Ill end with topshelf bud with little to trim this way. The ones that are bushy like are out of the uc so thats the only reason they are like that. Dosidos not the best sog but can semi sog with 2 per sf instead of 4. Hats off to kandy kush from dinafem. Its legit as fuck. Lanky grows with balls similar to the dz but the smell is out of this world.

Yield should be better by far im working on filling the 2nd level as well for total of 16-20 4x8 trays.

Got to be careful even a little to long and you dont fit 4per sf. I mainly lookin for the roots to get established then get them out there. Like 5days. Its about the same tho if u veg you dont fit as many but they bigger so yield more. I feel like having strictly colas competing for light as many as possible should end with the best guality and easiest trim
