oooooh fresh picks!!! and it's on again! adjust, switch, dial, redial, grow ,repeat ....... never boring in the stoners circle of life.
gotta be careful when you make those "hash suppositories" anti ....... they are not something you would ever want to confuse with other medication so mark them well! or just buy the fist shaped gel caps available on aisle 5....

Looking great Anti... Good idea dialing in the water w/o plants... ha ha... I can't wait for the next grow. I think you're gonna be really happy. Wanna go to Thailand with me?

Anti aren't you a little worried about the paint flaking off and plywood soaking?
There's only plywood at the bottoms of the two "main" drains. The rest of it is 2x4s and 2x8s. And there are four or five layers of paint, plus glue under the paint and silicone sealing the edges above the paint. I'm pretty sure thes table will survive until I do a complete redesign at some point in the future.
Not sure what paint you used, but they have waterproof paints out there that we occasionally use for roofing, decks, etc... Elastomeric is the type of paint you want to use. Or you could use Metacrylics, or any of the several competing brands. It's a little pricey, but it is rated for 10-15 years, and an occasional re-coat between runs should keep you sealed up.

Sounds sweet! I've already got my passport, might as well use it, right?
Gonna need to get this shit sorted beforehand.
Hehe well done, Anti I feel proud to see it all come together bro. I meant to stop in here and drop you a line yesterday but I've been very busy. Everything is looking great, lets hope the testing goes smoothly. Were here for ya bro. KICK ASS setup! Well done.

Heh. I love you guys.
I think I'll be ready to take some more clones by saturday or sunday. Moms haven't FULLY recovered, but I think they've recovered enough to make something happen. I bought a heating mat for the cloners and I'll be cloning in one of the upstairs bedrooms rather than the basement so that I can hopefully keep a better grip on environmental conditions and potentially faster-rooted clones.
In the meantime, I've gotten a second 396 GPH pump (one for each tier) and on Bobble's suggestions (thank you!!!) I got some 1/2" inline shut off valves. So the pump sends a line just about long enough to get to the top of my 55 gal drum. Then it goes into a 1/2" barbed tee. One half of the tee goes to one of the tiers and the other half of the tee goes to the 1/2" inline shut off valve which then runs back down into the res. So this way, I can throttle my pumps back to achieve perfect dialage for multiple one minute runs per day.
When I try to run the pumps full out I get run-off within 30-40 seconds even if the coco is pretty dry. I was going to buy an expensive timer that was capable of running multiple 30 second intervals but the cheapest I found was about $110 and the inline barbed shut-off valves were about $2 each. So.... thanks again Bobble! This way I can run my cheap $20 outdoor digital timer for up to 20 one minute intervals per day and I can use the shut-off valves to control precisely how much juice gets into the bed in that minute.
I think I've got it as dialed as I can without roots in there absorbing things.
I kick myself daily about the mom situation because I'd be damn near finishing a second round by now if I hadn't fucked with their light cycle to save a few pennies.
Live and learn though, right?
Can't wait to see what the next round in the modified and upgraded table will bring.
Thank you for your patience and your support!
