I'm not sure if you'll score 2 ounces off of the big girls, but you never know. I'm only hoping for about 8 ounces off of my run, and my plants are only a few inches shorter than yours, but im running 16 of them! I find that without a huge root structure, we take a hit to yields. Ive seen some of the roots more experienced growers get, it's ridiculous.

I would hope to get enough to smoke, cover costs, and get ready for your next run. But hey, I'm not much of an optimist :)

well im hoping for a minimum of 4 ounces which will cover my cost and pay off everything. I better get atleast 4 ounces of these plants. My roots are also getting huge and looking amazing now. ANyway if i dont get atleast 4 ounces i will consider this grow a failure lol. I really need the big ones on the right side to give me a minimum of 1 1/2 ounces and then the other 2 small once can give me 1 1/2 together and then ill get 4 1/2 total which is what i am hoping to get at a minimum. I guess only time will tell and we will see how fat and dense these buds get

AHHHHHHHHHHH Res temps. Ok so its been in the 90's where i live the last 2 days and my room doesnt have AC. My res temps have been constantly hitting around 75. I have been dropping tons of Ice and Water BOttles into the res to try to keep the temps down and the temps have been going down to around 68 and then a few hours later back to 75. If i dont keep putting ice and water bottles in the temps im sure would be above 80. Right now its not that big of a concern since i am here to monitor it all day everyday. However i leave on Tuesday to go back to florida for a week and wont be here to monitor it. My girlfriend hates me growing but is going to be staying at my house while im gone watching my dog. Hopefully she will suck it up and take one for the team and take care of my babies while im gone and make sure those temps stay down. She is a super pot head so it would be in her interest to not let these ladies die or get root rot or anything from the high temps while im gone. Anyway ill keep you guys posted i might have to just splurge and go buy one of those water chillers for 200 bucks to ensure when i come home my girls are still nice and healthy.

Just leave the door open a crack if your not running co2. Rez temps are not that important if your using h202, u may see a brown sludge from time to time but this is not root rot.

I haven't yet found a decent water chiller that will work with these machines. If you find a small submersible one of some kind, let me know, i'm interested. The only one I've seen that even comes close requires seperate water pumps, and the box to be modified to run water lines from outside the machine.

i would think it would be a better investment to purchase an air conditioner unit. Asoon as u have a decent canopy your rez should be 10-20f less then the air temp

I have to agree on the ac. I don't need a chiller because of my ac and I'm in a little over 1/2 the water ur in so its more succeptable to temp changes. I think an a/c. Will have more benefits than a chiller at this point. Especially since according to above its a pain to find one that works well with the mothership. :/ if it means anything they look good and I think ur stressin it too much lol. U should look into a remote resevoir with a pump and a float valve u could rig something up to keep water levels where they need to be.
