BayBHuey's Hydro Hangout

[Waterlab420]

Im along for the end of the journey Looking awesome! Cant wait to see 5 more buckets crammed in there next time.

 

[BayBHuey]

Hi there Chunkypigs...thanks for the nice comment...I have to tell you Im not used to seeing this gal grow in this manner...I have never seen it bush like this I agree about the bad boys...they stay cooler and you can keep them close to the tops to help keep em short

Waterlab420...happy to have you my friend...thank you for the nice words as well...wish I had known to add the 5 more buckets...I could have really filled the space quicker with more tops but live and learn

I will have to get you all some pics as soon as lights are on...

Looking lush

 

[BayBHuey]

Thanks Croptober

well things are moving right along...trying to setup this net for support...I think I can make the squares smaller but I need a better setup anyway...just a trial and error thing

Girls are looking good but I really wish I had put more buckets...the space would have been really packed in nicely with tops...next go

This pic you can see the empty spaces better...live and learn

Looking great!!!! I installed my screen yesterday also. What did you use for string/square size?

I went with 1.5" squares.

 

[BayBHuey]

Thanks Waterlab

I used bunjee cord...I like it...we will see if i feel the same way come chop time...for the square size...I tried to go for 3" but ran out of bunjee so they ended up a little bigger...next go I am going to try 2.5-2.75"

You know 1.5" squares sounds small but I think it will work well...finding that sweet spot is the fun in it...learn something every round

Quick update...all is well and things are moving along...changed the res yesterday...numbers are looking good

Would have filled in much better with more buckets...live and learn

BayBHuey

 

[Waterlab420]

Yep every one has there own preference!! Yea they do look small ( the 1.5 ) I posted a pic in my thread. But I like them, easy to tuck right as they pop up through.

But your plants look awesome!

 

[BayBHuey]

Thanks Waterlab :tip hat:

changed the res...all seems well...the net could have filled in a lot better with stalks instead of stems...more buckets...live and learn

[Waterlab420]

Looking good!!!! How many days into flower are ya? I'm 5 days in on mine.

 

[noyd666]

T5's are good gear HUEY got one ,must invest in two 4footers for a better coverage, your photos are showing up a treat, lol how's that fer sniveling.

 

[BayBHuey]

Thanks guys

I think its day 13 or 14

Noyd the t5's are awesome...I love them...I actually have 4...4ft x 8 lamp bad boy t5 systems...I wish I could have bought more but they raised the price on them

BayBHuey

 

[noyd666]

yep the 4 foot 8 54watt tubes with on off switches is about $265 oz
233 American.
diff make though. I notice the growth is a lot better under them than the cfl. to a certain hight.

 

[BayBHuey]

Oh yeah noyd t5's are awesome to veg with...your right too...you get to a point where they want some HID's...thats exactly what I did with these gals then removed the t5's and turned on my HID's...I only have them running 600w because the heat...darn hot summer

Little update...things are moving along...hit them up with some brassinolide at the wrong time...got some extra stretch

BayBHuey

 

[Waterlab420]

Looking good! I'm 6 days in and stretched like s mofo lol. Gonna have to support them I think!

 

[Croptober]

They filled out the screen nicely, what day are you on 18?

[unregistered190]

Loving the show Huey........got a few other basic things to master first and then gonna study this hydro system thoroughly

 

[BayBHuey]

Waterlab thanks my man...the stretch is always a nightmare

and I would definitely try to support them...I may try and double my net next go

Hey Croptober...it did okay...I wish I could have packed them in more but the time it needs to do so I think your right on the day in that pic 18 or 19
