Thanks Dope Time. Those frames are made from push together plumbing bits and pieces with lil self tapping screws through the joints and some of that green plastic coated wire garden fencing stuff.
Did my first rez change tonight, pumping the old stuff out into the bath and refilling with fresh nutes at 1.2ec. I don know if it was needed but I wanted to try it out and see how it went. It went okay.
Some new pics. They don show much really but you might see how I've tucked some of the taller branches under the screen scrog style.
Think I need a better camera. This one came fee with a packet of weetabix or summat like that.
Worked out the first real fault with this set up. Each pair of lamps is hung from one piece of 3x2 timber which is hung by two of those steel cables with a hook/ratchet thing at the end. They work fine lowering the lamps but I can't raise them without a third hand.
Temps are okay at 78f humidity is 55%. These cooler nights are fine for growing in here.

Thnaks Dank, Man! I'm gonna have to stick with these for this run, it'll be too difficult to change them with the girls on the trays below but I'm gonna rejig a coupla things when this runs finished and I'll give those rope ones a try.
If I can get a bunch of ripe properly flushed buds from this system without flooding the house or some other such stress bringer I'll be happy.
I'm still running with my old 600w ballasts but I think I'll fire up the 1000 watters next week if it stays this cool at night.
I'm watching your air conditioned led thang closely coz in the long run I reckon thats the way I want to go.
I think that's where my neighbour got his driving licence, or was it rice crispies......
Looking good mate

So light up the subject with the 40w daylight bulb clipped nearby? Think I'll try it out, FOG. I gots to get these photos better.
No. I got an aquarium circulating pump stirring them up the rez up then I'm relying on the drips gathering oxygen as they leave the emitters.
Face your pump straight up in the bottom of the res so you see rippling on the water surface which is called flooming, creating dissolved oxygen as well as sturing up the res mate.

I read the sticky thread in the coco forum on coco slabs. I'm going by what Gaius Marias says there which is that the liquid will gather sufficient oxygen through it's surface as drips fall from the emitters.
It kinda makes sense from what I remember from science lessons at school. Not bubbling or fluming the rez with o2 means the ph will be more stable.
I'm open on this but hoping GM is right.
I'll try to get some pics up tomorrow night but the elastic band powering the camera is broke so don hold yer breath...
Meantime, girls are still on 1.2 ec.I measured run off tonight and it's 0.6 ec. My tap water is 0.5. I'm assuming this means the girls are eating up almost all the nutes in the water. Does this make sense?
