Mega, your pubic hair doesn't add potency like cat hair. It should be cat hair or nothing at all.
That pump setup is ballin Arminius.

Thanks Bobble! I put a lot of thought into it, I just hope it works lol...
My 500g tank even came with graffiti! It must have been at a remote well location...
My next task is finding a spot for this beast, and plumbing it to each feed res so I don't have to hump water anymore...
My thought is to use another 1/2 hp pump plugged into an outlet that will have light switches to power it strategically placed...

You're gonna leave the graffiti as-is right? It really adds character... Like Mega's buds for example, they just wouldn't be the same without some cat hair...

Plenty of shit ta upgrade now when the opportunity presents itself Arm.......and yeah....The ball valve to the loopfield manifold is definitely your friend when it comes down to supplying equal flow and pressure to each individual plantsite.....but......
Lotta folks don`t realize that if yas don`t use the "exact" same length of feedtubing to each plantsite regardless of whether the containers are closer or further away , flow and pressure will be different at EVERY container and.....
Basket stakes helped me with 1/4" open end driptubing to spread juice around the containers once the ball valves were dialed down with my bigass pond pumps......
Setup`s lookin killer Bro.....Keep up the good work.....
Peace.....Freds....

Oh yeah, forgot to snap pictures of the drippers, but I switched from basket stakes, to a tee, and two elbows for even feeding. Will snap pictures in a minute when I assemble the fittings, glued this time haha!

As long as each container gets a slow , steady feed/soaking to prevent dry spots in the rootzone , it`s all good.......
Good luck Bro.....the tees and elbows work with slower feed than basket stakes , but whatever works....
Peace....Freds.....

That's a good point DHF. I switched from basket stakes since I wasn't getting enough pressure to make them "bubble". That is not the case now, and I could use the tees on one of my other rooms that will not have a 1/2 hp pump yet...As long as each container gets a slow , steady feed/soaking to prevent dry spots in the rootzone , it`s all good.......

Mixed my first batch of nutrients with a modified schedule based on feedback from the manufacturer. She suggests using their bloom booster from week one based on improved yields and potency from some growers in the Emerald Triangle.
Using their calculator at 45% strength (which puts me at about 1.4-1.5 EC). I then stretched the Bloom FX schedule to the full 8 weeks, and reducing the base by another 25%.
Based on a 30g res.
Cal/Mag 125m
Grow 60m
Bloom 135m
Micro 135m
Bloom FX 120m
Amino Blast 180m
Drip Clean 30m
SM-90 30m
This put me right at 1.4 EC, and PH 5.8, with no up or down!
I am curious what the full profile looks like as far as ratios go. Maybe later tonight I will crunch the numbers...
I have been slacking on feeding these plants, so it took a lot more juice to get run off, but I have a feeling I need to upgrade to 100g feed res for each room. It took almost 15g to get run off. It will have to do for now, at least I only need to feed once a day during stretch...

Forgot, for those that didn't catch my last thread, I am using X Nutrients. It is a local company that is cannabis friendly (unofficially at least). They claim to use real clean minerals, and about a third of the cost of their counterparts. In testing they are ranked up there with Canna and H&G.
They also have a foliar product for veg and bloom, and when I incorporated that, I have the best results yet with the USD.

Surprisingly, it likely came from within a 5 mile radius of your house...

Had some personal life issues last couple of days (son's 12th birthday, ex drama, etc...), but managed to get some work done.
I definitely need 100g feed tanks if I don't want to be mixing fresh nutes every other day. With a total of 3 flower rooms, plus the veg room at this site, I would be mixing juice every day... I gave them a feed today, after feeding to run off yesterday, and I am down to 10g from a full tank yesterday. Once a day for now, but in 10 days I will have to up it to2-3 times, so the shit clock is ticking...
I finished my outside walls, and intake vents. Relocated the extraction fans to vent into the adjacent room. Just need to close off the old holes through the roof tomorrow, and I will be sealed and ready to flip the lights by 10am tomorrow. That will put me at 3 rooms in flower (including my remote site), and then I can finish the 4th room, allowing me to put the material list for the 5th...
And my ex had the fucking nerve to tell me to get a job, because my efforts have not panned out (to her understanding anyways), no wonder I told her to kick rocks! Two months from now I will be laughing all the way to the bank...
