Hey all.. well after a bit of a break on here cos of being busy with my music (just had another tuned signed up to star harbour records "All the love" Urbanfunk feat Dean raven will post link to it soon and is released in 2 weeks.. is electro vocal house.. anyways i was cuboard growing in tiny space and thought it was time now i learnt a bit to get out the HPS..lol anyways the plan is to have 4 to 6 dwc buckets on the go under 2x600w in 4.5 x.4.5ft (roughly)with 6.5 ft of height!!! and grow the plants about 5ft i guess!! anyways i have a friend helpng me as he has used this method before (anyone heard of krusty buckets??)

For now tho i just have the 1 600w hps and am finnishing off all soil plants i got first.. so thats the last week n bit of bubblegum (nearly 8 weeks in) and then im throwing in WONDERWOMEN/SK1/LSD all been vegging couple of months and topped and sit about 2.5ft at the min with about 4 main heads a piece..

Heres a few pics for now and will update tomorrow.. not got alot of time this evening.. oh.. using rvk fan sucking air from outside and using pressure to vent.. 10"fan another large fan that throws air out 360 and small 6"clip fan.. plenty of air circulation..lol bit over kill for now!!! haha

Heres a little update on the grow... Had a 2nd Double-CoolTube turn uptoday as the first arrived with a bit of a crack where someone had left a small screw in during the packing!! anyways only took an email with a pic for them to send a 2nd with in 24hours..lol very fast service and let me keep the damaged one!! so might sell that cheap on ebay as its fine to use!! Holds 2 bulbs either 600w or 1000w..

Anyways.. once i get these few plants out the way i can start the bubblers up and then get both lights in the cooltube!!!

 

[urbanfunk]

The cool tube all up and running now altho only with 400w and 600w bulbs in it!! (double cooltube) soon to be 2x600w

Still just flowering the bubblegums out of my micro grow and they seem to be loving their new lights, still not put in any bubble buckets yet as just waiting for clones to arrive from a good grower pal thats sends me good strains!!!( u know who u are!!lol) also should start thinking about putting the 3 soil plants into flwoer as they sitting about 2.5ft tall.


few nutes for soil i use... not all at same time..lol

Canna vega
canna flores
hamerhead bloom booster
pk13/14
guano
liquid seaweed
rhitizonic
mollases
superthrive


for the bubblers just gonna use advanced nutrients range me thinks

 

[urbanfunk]

Sorted out a nice distance for the plants where its still pretty cool under the 2 lights.. added pic is only 4 or 5 inches tho.. not bad for dual 600w lol

i hope they benifit.. bet they glad they out their cuboard and bet they glad that aint an enviro above em!! lol

I came home on monday after being away since the friday to find my plants looking completely and uterly hanging for a drink.. never seen anything like it and seriouse yellowing of too many leafs.. before i went they was fine and cant believe they got in such a mess so quick as they had a small amount of water saturday morning from my sister altho wasnt anywhere enuff... Anyways i have to spend few days away quite often as my girlfriend lives 50miles away and im just coming off a ban so i stay there few days at a time and so came up with a very simple and cheap method for autowater/feeding my plants...

I have 20l bucket as res(enuff to water my 2 big plants a couple of times) a small 2w 200L/h aquarium water pump from ebay that cost me £2.50(not auction), tube line for it £3, twin gang thing £1.50 and assorted airline connectors £1.39 and timer £5

The water pump has output adjuster and so does the small twin gang thing so i set it all up so it takes about half hour to fully water the pots(nice n slow)

u can see from pics how easy it was to think up but thought id share it with ya cos this will be a life saver for me
