why?
isnt concept of kbs/kfb less pl@nts and more light?
or, roughly 1-2k per pl@nt...
after only run tomato tree for few tyme-warp lyght-yrs, found that they really prefer 1k on ea syde, or 2k per plant. can do just 1-4 plant w/ 2-8k & maybe have < fruit w/ >pl@nts, maybe...
the very 1st tree garden that gypsy & bubbleman shared w/ boards was maybe 10k & 12 pl@nts... they had to crawl into the room...
the klown brought this method to board in detail, along w/ several others... just for historic accuracy. may find some points of original 'bucket system' that apply, still...
mainly, what kr&sty stated that very accurate: low stress environment.
in any event, this may be helpful:
The Krusty Bucket
hope klown hatrs (tr0lls) dont appear...
looks good bro. if you decide to go with the xoxo pattern and not rows, then Please try at least 50in centers, unless your growing his donkey dick 1:1,000,000 million strains aka DD g-13. if your doing rows you can pull off the 40in centers because diagnally the plants are further that 40in
The pics looks liek rows but you posted a xoxox pattern layout so I wasnt sure, either way hope this turns out for you. still doing the Fucking INcredible cross?
mistress
each plant gets 3-4000w, but it doesnt mean you need 2 1000w bulbs for each plant. thats where the xoxox pattern comes into play and it takes less bulbs to light the plants, with rows you have soo many bulbs that light plants from one side only, with the xoxox pattern the back side of most bulbs light one side of another plant. with the xoxo pattern you usaully end up with and extra light or two so 7plants=8lights ect
WOAH!! Those TREES look awesome! Damn! I love em'.....Most of my plants get 3K and none get less then 2k each. With all due respect we know a better way then Krusty now. If DD would chime in here it would be helpfull but. The MPB bucket system is an intense environment and the plant if prepared for the stress will deliver. We put an HIBLOW 80 airpump that is meant for 30 yards of water and place an airstone in each independent bucket along with a fast moving undercurrent. This along floor fans shooting straight up below the lights to cool the heat pockets. 1500- 1800 PPM Co2... No top lighting all side lighting and bare bulb. ( had to use crappy cool tubes the first MPB) along with other environmental controls and training will get you the biggest mamas you could ever imagine. Ill post pics of our first MPB 10 with 5 ladies. I cant wait to see these ladies rock!
Hi MC nice to see you here too brotha. Were running to main reses 115 gal each. The MPB's are standard 15 gallon. I have two 1/4 HP for one res and one 1 HP for the other. I have a minisplit 32k, and two 25k window units. Damm I real do hate those cool tubes lol. The reason why I like the 6 inch cubes is the massive root growth it can hold. I kinda have to fight to keep the cube moist because ours are only covered by about an dinch or two at the bottom with hydroton. What happedned to you on the other site?Wow....
Those tables are the way to go ... So much better access to the bottom of the plant...
If you can next round you might think about drains for each row that way you have access to the whole plant...
Again looks sick...
How big are your rez's?
What size type of chiller??? Just got the 2ton jbj..Sick...
What size and type of a/c???
You are going to do so much better without the cool tubes..
A little side note...DD's latest advice is to veg in a 6x6 rockwool cube...I am doing that this round and not sure if I like all the moisture they retain...For what its worth I like the 3x3...
Lets see some more pics...
Go big or go home...I will update you on my latest 30k 18 plant mpb...

wow looks outstanding....
Is that 40" from center of plant to bulb or is that 40" plant stem to plant stem?
pics of the coco or the cubes? I would skip the rockwool all together if can and just veg in the 10in net pot lids, I dont think the 6inch worth of roots means a whole lot, I believe the roots in the bucket is the lifeforce to this system.
Hey MC. You know your posts of your first MPB were what inspired me to make these tables.Had to lay low for a while...Other people in the group didnt like what I was doing on here so I need to mellow out with the threads and pics
I used the 6x6 cubes this time and starting the 3rd week of flower....I am just really surprised at how wet they are....Even went as far as cutting off the drip to a few...Even the ones with out the drip are moist...
The thing I worry about is movement in the cubes...I have grown in rockwool for a long time and these plants get so big and heavy I really worry about movement and rot...
Probably over think it...
Once plants were vegged in the 10" netpots 24/7 I didnt notice any difference between the different size rockwool cubes...
Do you have new pics...
