Double D's MPB Playing With Fire

MPB

MPB

socalsinner, way to be brotha !!

what kind of numbers are you expecting? 40k thats a possible 160# per pull is that correct?! AHHHH!!!!

are you following dd's nute regimen or something different?

Whats going on turbo. 14K ... Man 40k would blow the roof off of my place lol. Peace

lights seem all low-hung & in straight line...
seem to work well w/ staggered/off-set lights, like stair-case. to get different angles/height of canopy. w/ ea lyght 2-3" off-set (up/down/left/right) down the row, should get tops, mid & low canopy, too.... asymmetrical lyghts seems get more of plantee than symmetrical lights.

is there additional over-lighting?
Hi MIss. Lights are in the middle of the plants and are staggered. They will be lifted though at a later time. There is no over lighting. Im sure the sides will blow up though.

Whats cracking Neo. Usually on an MPB you would have 100 gallons running 10 bins at . The bins would be 15 gallon bins. Keep in mind that in an MPB there is about half the water in the bins and the rest going through the system quickly. I have two 115 gal res's and two drain lines. I am going vertical. I decided to deviate from DD's perfect plan( Im not a master MPB'er yet ) to take 20 plants and use 20 K lighting similar to below but a little different. Eerything else is strictly DD.

MPB. True Trinity .. Its all Good lol

Well guys and gals . Ill be posting pics of the last run and the outcome too but for now I thought I would post some pics of True Trinity. I finally found the plant and the original holder was kind enough to pass her to me. A few pics of the travels to get her too lol. In a couple of days I'll get the last harvest pics up too.

I was amazed at Blazed1's set up when i first started learning the art of growing hydoponic MJ here at IC, then...

I remember when Mash came here and showed us the UC (wow I thought)...

Its been a long time between spliffs for me here at IC...

& BOOM out comes this rockin new system called MPB's with the man DD at the helm!

Its amazing really what we as humans can do. Science + mother nature could end world hunger and its the enthusiasts like you guys that can do it.

Mr Sinner keep up what your doing mate cant wait to see more of what these MPBs can do. I dont think there would be too many Australians rockn these systems about and i love learning about the new evolutions of indoor growing.

That goes to the rest of the hydro guys too if it wasnt for a lot of you i wouldnt know what half of what ive learnt over the past year and so.

Ez... N Thanks!

Thanks for the kind words D. Im actually getting my third MPB run up very soon and I hope its the best Ive done so far. Ive learned so much from other MPB'ers and of course from my own mistakes. Im looking foward to our new location and to doing a 36k MPB run. Peace!

Hey man how much do you think them blowers help and what did they run you. I am planning a 18 k with a 5 ton and 2 14 inch main leads coming out of the plenum and about 6 790 cfm 8 inch fans just pushing air around the middle of the plant column. I have about 10 foot ceilings to hide maybe some of the heat up top but I not sure I need it with pulling returns air back off the ceiling
Thanks darko
Ps buy the way it is nice to see you and more of the guys from the farm, mcattak, mrdizzel

Whats up D? I think the blowers help alot. If you can direct a high amount of cold air directly to the plant from the ac then I wouldnt think you need them but if its not direct cool heat then I would use a blower under each light bulb . My ladies directly if from of my ac dont need blowers but all the rest of them do.Thanks for the kind words too. Peace

Too easy my Brother, I cant wait to see the explosive growth rate these buckets provide...

maybe some day once ive got a few grows done and dusted i will look to make one of these bad boy buckets. By the time that happens tho im sure there will be some new evolution of hydroponics being brought out. Science and mankind can do some pretty amazing things and its only a matter of time not when...

Im gonna stick to learning the ways of the under current for the time being it seems suitable for the novice grower whos getting into hydro (i know it will take a few runs i dont expect pro results straight away) and the parts are easily accessable if you do a bit of homework and study as i live in australia the hardest thing to resource was those 13 gal buckets but i found a company that will ship to OZ which is sweet.

Just waiting now to build my new home (after xmas) in which i will have a stealth AAA+ growing room with 8K 6 site 13gal home made under current as UC dont ship to Australia plus i like building stuff and using my hands too. The room will be air conditioned, sealed etc...everything to create the perfect growing environment for MJ and it will be as clean as a nun's.... u get the idea!

Thats the big plus about building your own home u can add room extensions and have the room built from the ground up to suit you needs its fantastic!!! add a few solar panels in the mix and in the next couple of years watch the room pay for itself.

Imagine that the perfect grow room suited to your needs with out having to pay a cent on it in fact you get paid for putting the energy back into the grid so its a even bigger plus.

Talk about thinking GREEN, this is going GREEN LOL!!!
 
Some day Ill own a solar panel system! lol. Sounds great D. I have heard good things about UC systems and UC type DIY systems too. Maybe one of these years Ill take my family to your part of the world. Heard you guys have good poker. I love a good game hehe. Peace

The UC is a beast but I think the MDP's are more beastier (I have no real experience with the MDP but they look like they kick mucho but) I just set up another UC last week end. (Not mine but a buddies) I have seen and setup quite few lately and they just show growth that is no joke.. I also advise every setup to stay away from organics. I have two or three nute mixes established for the UC's..(Thanks to KB and some other ICMAG members) If you know what you are doing you will see GREAT results.

Yeah been looking at UC systems since i saw Mash show his here on IC tho word has it hes was a rep for company or something like that and soon got a banning but theres a few very reputable hydro guys round here using them and well you might of seen some of the threads.

Just thought it looked like a nice clean, easy to maintain system that looked easy to build and could come up with stella results. the growth is amazing to say the least.

Poker eh... yeah we like a bit of poker down under good way to get the lads together have a few bevvys, a bit of a smoke and best of all its an excuse to get away from our other halfs...lol...

your welcome round my parts anytime mate and some day i hope to visit Cali ive always wondered if its as what it is like in the movies and on tv shows to say the least the US has always fascinated me!!! some day i hope... gotta lot more travelling in me yet!

Ez...Mos

Cheers Neo that room looks tight! well set up and clean...

Would any of those nute mixes involve Canna Aqua or DM Gold by any chance? I was looking at using one of those two lines as they were made for thses types of systems no?
thanks...

Sorry for hijacking your thread Socal you just gotta ask these questions if you wanna learn.

The DIY are hot too! Here pics of the DIY I built.


This first three pics are about a month ago. I just flipped the lights last week. The last pic is when I was still building it..

I have never tried canna but I hear its doable. I recommend H&G agua flakes or the DM series. Any 100% synthetic nute with nothing "alive" As far as additives, keep it simple. You could follow any of the dead rez growers recipes like KB's or myself.
