F45 v3.0 "Ricky's Dope Farm"

I usually make it a point to tuck any new tops back in front of the screens as lights come on. The most I have seen the USD stretch per day was 2". I had to tuck tips that were 3" tonight. This is going to get real interesting in the next 2-3 weeks...
I have been humping water to my closet res and should be able to set up the drip lines tomorrow. It's off to the races at that point. Wait, wasn't I trying to limit stretch? Yeah, I like pushing limits.. .

Pushin the envelope and dialin bitches to KNOW when ta flip em AND where they`ll end up by end of stretch is how we roll in vert-ville for that "perfect" sideways canopy .....

All things in time Arm....Keep dialin ....and.....I`d rather deal with the stretch and learn what NOT ta do in the future , than feed em something that`ll have us all glowin in the dark some of the days.........I`m just sayin.....Good call Dorkster....

Bushmaster no bueno.....think that Gravity shit`s in the same category....dunno.....anyways....

Good luck....Freds......:ying:.....

Hammerhead, Bushmaster all stop stretch..immediately at full strength BUT they do have the baddies in them......I like your idea just to tuck, but I also had stuff stretching on my 3rd shelf so high I just started to tie them to the ceiling...(shrug) I got weight off the ceiling ...worked for me....great job ...going to call you later today.

I was nervous about the aqua dynamics of my new feed system, so I just dry fit it, and figured I would just put enough water in the system to do a quick test...
Inside the room is the 1/2 hp transfer pump, with S unions for removal. Also there are two ball valves, one on the loop manifold, and one on the return line. This way I can adjust the flow to the drippers, and I can shut it off, and open the return line for mixing nutrients.

In my workspace I have my 30g feed res, with a ball valve and an S union for when I upgrade to 50-100g res. you can also see the return line back to the res.

I was relieved that I didn't need to prime the pump, but guess what happened when I plugged in the pump? Yep, you guessed it, all my fittings blew apart! I laugh now, but fuck me did it put me in panic mode lol... I didn't want to lose 20g of RO water! I shut the res off and used emergency plumbing tape to seal the ball valve. At least I can glue everything now, and fire it up in the morning. I really didn't know what to expect with no experience with larger pumps...
And no I was not medicated lol, but I will be now...

On the plus side, I don't think I will be lacking equal pressure to the drippers! Hell, more than likely, I will have to reduce the flow to the loop manifold. Didn't someone say bigger is better haha!!

So I have been pricing out a larger water tank for my RO res. $450 for a 300g one from the hydro whore, and about $150 for a used 300g ICB tote.
On a whim I called my patient who works for the local water district. And it turns out he had a 150g and 500g tanks. Ended up costing me a 1/4 oz and gas money!
The large one is like a mini well res, with a lid, and bulkheads for 2" plumbing. Talk about a deal...

Good score on the water tanks Arm, plumbing setup looks real pro, I've always admired your attention to detail.

So Mega if that's not cat hair what kind of hair is it? I thought cat hair was the secret to potency, went out and picked up a few strays for myself. Do I need to get something else to make my buds potent? Yeti perhaps, maybe a Snuffaluffagus? I would name him Puffaluffagas.

hell ive been prodding my 2 cats and demanding they malt more. One of the little fuckers refuses to let any hair go at all. Selfish little bastard. Thats cats for you.

Im thinking that white cat hair > black cat hair. This isnt racist but just my experience with cat hairs :)
