so growth regulators aren't really name brand and there more like certain amino acids and vitamins? I know you aren't realy inclined to give away too much too fast without gettin to know someone but I'd really like to know what nutes your usin. thanks

@...............UW ~ looking forward to seeing some of those pic’s of that setup.

@...............MT ~ I use GH 3pt nutrients and as for the growth regulators just look into the same stuff that super-bud was, do the research it’s on the internet.

one question big Toke. Why does every single grower who grows Huge massive lovely lookng nugs. Grow with GH? My hydro guy use to sell GH for YEars! now he says he wants to turn everyone on to House and Garden. That everyone in holland use it, and bla bla bla. Ever heard of it? Is it just a matter of personal prefrence? Thanks for the input
 
my question was you vegged for month then i think topped and then vegged for a month then flowered 2 months. i believe you said it really helped your root structure develope. i just wanted you to elaberate on your technique on doing this. any tips on this would be appreciated, thanks again :chin:

@.................SCF ~ no matter what your hydro-guy says make him order GH3pt and if he don’t, tell him that you’ll be going somewhere else.

@.................SI ~ no, altogether I vegged for one mouth but I do top at six to ten inches.

holy shit lol that yeild looked like you were usuing around 5k!! good bye soil helllo bio-bucket well not goodbye soil completly cause i do love my organic herb thats for sure great job just finished reading this thread great job :woohoo: im gonna make some buckets today ill use your 101 thread
Peace!
 
Where do you start your nutes off at? And how high do you go?

That seems to be the single most problem for me, everyone says something differnt... Some people say keep them low its all they need, otheres say give them the max and they will adjust and grow bigger ;P what do you think?

Do you use c02? what are your room temps like?

2 3,000 watt rooms.
2 24bucket Bio Bucket setups

The lights arn't air cooled, im thinking of using c02 With 1 ac in each room... the ac will simply Suck in fresh air from (somewhere dunno if it matters maybe outside the house or maybe from under the house or maybe from out side the doorway any ideas?) and it will help cool the room along with the house ac on really hot days, I will have plenty of ventilation

the rooms around like 10by12... Im hoping it all fits...

so far so good?
Im getting started tommorow... where is the best place to look for buckets/ rez and all that hydro stores? I never seen black buckets with lids, in fact even the baskets are differnt then the ones our stores carry the ones we have come with bigger holes in them which I hate stuff falls into the tanks really easy :( hmm I might have to order some of this stuff..

Im also going to be testing some new LED tech. with this grow... I Just want a system that I can handle... something fun :) I love to grow and I don't like large plant numbers... 48 seems almost like to much.. but if I drop the number of buckets Im going to have to push the plants to hard and untill I establish my moms that isn't a possibly...

Does everything sound ok? IM just summing it all up... IM going to keep it like your system, maybe mod a few things.. you say your pump runs 24/7? it never turns off? I guess you just have to make sure that the water can leave much faster then it can get into the buckets right? and Im suprised you don't get root rot with the way it works.. its crazzy but sounds amazing.

Umm another question I know I pmd you a million times sorry! Our rockwool cubes the same as what your talking about?

Do you dip your clones? IM deffily afraid of spider mites.. I have had 2 crops almost destoryed by them.. I still managed .50 grams per watt even with the little basterds , but iwasn't easy I had to cut 2 weeks early :( on my lovley babys *cry* and I never recovered.. my new house has a lot of vegitation and im positive there our a lot of bugs just waiting to get in! Im going to have the house spryaed I think!

instead of making it so the water fills the rez automaticly.. could I have a 2nd rez
So I have my normal 40gal rez.. have a 2nd 40gal rez Higher up then that one and just put a tube in it to the 40gal so as the 40gal drops the Top 40gal drops that way my main tank never can run out of water and I just have to fill the 2nd rez by hand (its the same as yours just makes more work for me right?) there isn't a easy way for me to get a hose into the rooms so I can't really do it your way would my way work?
 
Wow, you have a lot of questions. :D I use a 32 gallon Brute trash can to act as my clean water res, and yes, it works great. As I said, do much reading, because the answers to (most) of your ?'s are here somewhere. Have fun with the buckets! :wave:
