Hello to all. Some of you I know, some of you I am meeting for ...the very first time.
I built a Bio-Bucket system many moons ago. I'm sure the build thread is around here somewhere. Anyhow, since my hiatus from IC, I've revised it a bit, with a bigger pump and intake manifold. Also, I now have 3-600w HPS lighting the area instead of 2. (Area is 4x8)
Here are some pics from the first few weeks (veg and flowering). The rate of growth is amazing, especially once the beneficials are fully established. I put the clones in after only 6 days of colonizing time. I'm still using the same lava rocks from the first time, they've made it through many grows (I soak them in peroxide solution for a day or so and rinse thoroughly with a powerfulwater sprayer).
Nutrients are Dutchmaster Gold series with some of their Max Flower additive. The rocks are releasing plenty of silica, so I don't use their Silica as they recommend. Also, I don't use Zone, which is a root zone "cleaner". The beneficial bacteria do that job just fine. Since I've tried Gold, I have no desire to use anything else, as the rate of growth is explosive (even more than standard Bio-Bucket growth levels), and the taste from the buds (and hash) is superb imho. I was using 50/50 ro/tap water, but have been using tap since my ro needs new filters.
I almost forgot to mention, I have a flipflop going. The other side is lighting a soil grow, trying to find some new moms. In the soil room I have Hashberry, GodbudxDreamweaver, Orange Diesel, AK and Bubbleberry. In the hydro is 9 Bubbleberry and 1 AK.
Anyway, on to the pictures!
Any questions/comments welcome.
