Well, If you can picture it this is going to be my new setup. the bottom 4 plants are my flower gals. This setup aint even real yeat but it's about to be. I have everything I need to set it up as a DWC with 6" netpots.

picture.php


However, Picture this setup with the added Areo mainfold and pump. I could connect all the mainfolds with flexible line and yeas have a reusable res. Basicly the system wont realease more water until the water level lowers and the float in the red control tank drops ya know???

We getting anywhere yet??

Once I go areo I can go down to 4" netpots, plus I can still use DWC to veg up top! Then I will put the pots in my areo buckets to flower!

Rez is gravity fed

We think Alike Bro! Glad to meet ya!

Its good to meet you Brother and great minds think alike. I think that the manifold would be easy to make from that 1/2 poly tubing and then snake the 1/4 inch to your pots. from the picture I think it would be a good system. some thing to think about..
thats a trick looking grow room design you have their bro.. I think we are getting closer..

I think it is very sad that so many of them turned out to be males :cry:

Otherwise, the plants look nice and healthy! On a side note (cause it may help someone) we recently did an experiment on some autoflower seeds, as they are certainly not feminized. We planted 16 total, spraying 8 of them with DutchMaster Reverse at about 10 days, and leaving the other 8 untreated. The untreated plants produced about 3 males, while the treated plants produced 0. Now, I don't know if this is due to using Reverse or not, but it would make sense to me when thinking about species in nature in general. For example, frogs or fish in an estrogen rich stream will often turn into 100% female populations. There have been many studies over the past several years to determine what has been eliminating various communities of these animals and why certain populations are "going extinct". The sole cause was the human wastewater containing excess amounts of estrogen that hasn't been filtered at treatment plants, turning all males into females. Since Dutchmaster is supposed to kill all male flowers and revert a plant back to female if it hermies, I figured it must be somewhat hormone based and have a similar effect. After a few more cycles and trials, we'll be able to tell if the Dutchmaster is what gave us 100% females, or if we just had a lucky batch of seeds! Either way, it doesn't hurt to try it right? :)
