1st run Purple Kush 2k 8 xl UC

Hello everybody
Im going to putting 8 purple kush clones in an 8 xl UC under 2k super hps tomorrow.
I will be using dutch master gold for veg and bloom. I am going to be using dyna-rok II as a medium. The rooms temps are maxing out at 75f so no issues there and I have a 1/4 hp chiller working as a heater to keep the water at 68f.

I mixed up the nutes and filled the net pots up with the dyna-rok to let everything dial up befor putting the babies in tomorrow.
I will be also running a few hempy buckets on the edge of the grow with some frostitutes in em.

I will be popping up pics as much as I can at least once a week. I will get some pics up soon maybe tomorrow after I pop em in the big rig.

Any questions ask away

Heres the babies day 1 veg.
There sitting in 400 ppm and 5.8 ph. My camera setting were out of wack so bear with me on these first set of pics. I'll have nice white pics next set.
I also had a casualty accidently ripped the roots off of one of the clones and I'll be replacing it with a new one Friday.

Thanks for stoppin in opt1c.
Its ok I have 20 more with roots they just need about 2 more days. Oh well if they dont catch up it just gives me more room for the big ones either way there will be a huge canopy.

Looking nice BigGreen! After seeing how big those magnum reflectors are in your pics gives me something to look forward to. I have one coming in the mail right now:) I'll have my 8 XL setup next week in a 4x8 Homebox XXL on a light rail 3.5 beaming a 1k. How long do you plan on vegging again? I have 8 Serious AK47's that have been vegging for 5 1/2 weeks that will be going in the new rig next week:) Will you be scrogging this run? Happy growing!

Hello everybody
HS Im gonna veg em at least that big I have enough ceiling height with this room and Im excited to use it. Im also gonna top the shit out of her train em in to bushes.
Welcome ic budz thats what Im shooting for is some monsters.
Turbo them magnum xxxl hoods are the shit very evenly spread light. Im planning on about 4 weeks maybe 3 if thats what it takes to get to 3 ft bushes. I dont think Im gonna scrog this one with all the height I have Im gonna use it wisely I will be adding a screen or trellis right when I flip to have it grow 1/2 way thru to help hold up them big ass budz.
Thanks for stopping in and I'll have an update on Friday when I check on the babies.

Welcome greenthumb & thegonz1
I keep the chiller set to 67F. Im gonna be introducing the hempy buckets into the room tomorrow. Im gonna need them to get pretty big if they want to steal a little light from the pks. Yo Hydrosun how high are you keeping the water level at in your UC?
Enjoy the show much more to come

I am running my UC in veg a few inches below the indent in the buckets. I have a 9 veg site with an epicenter. Yesterday I added 15gals to get it back up to that fill line. Here is a pix of my veg room from last night. Do they look healthy?


Peace, :joint:
