So i'm finally getting around to documenting my last grow. I did a 30 site bato bucket sea of green. The canopy was about 4 feet wide and 5 feet long. Light was provided by 2 600 watt ushio bulbs in radiant 6 reflectors powered by global greenhouse electronic ballasts. They had to be mounted high to spread 4 feet across so the plants were lollypop'd to minimize fluff on the bottom. I ran atami coco with hydroton on the bottom. The strain was the white widow from SR-71/bluesky in Oakland so the true genetics are Mr. Nice Black Widow but that is confusing to a lot of people so white widow it is.
I was tired of random variables from my tap water between winter and summer; sometimes it was fine and sometimes the plants were not happy so i decided to eliminate that issue by stepping up to the realm of RO. Water goes in at 200ppm and comes out at 3ppm.
Some moms and the RO reservoir in the garage; i plan on attaching my water chiller to the reservoir in the summer.
Building a bato bucket sog setup is fun; not much room for error when measuring out holes and whatnot.
Here is the DTW drain, the buckets sit on some 2 inch thick RF foam; i find this helps insulate the buckets from the floor a little bit, is nice and mold resistant not to mention waterproof incase of leaks/floods, and gives a wonderful 2 inches of drop to eliminate standing water in the returns
I guess i did a decent job with my measuring. Measure twice cut once.
Finally some pics of the room
18,000 BTU lovage
Now just to fill em up.
