This has been best time of my life in a long time.

I started this back in Feb 2020 while there was still work.

I am on v3 or 4 of this original build from (and still same buckets sealed with some

good tape). RDWC to Bio Bucket system. Maybe my 5th or 6th run with this Tent.
Been perfecting it to my uses.

I have experimented with lights and all other aspects of the indoors over last 4 yrs.

So without further adue This month :

That was when I had to do the half way check with roots and unclog anything types of

problems and rotate the net pots after bondage sesion earlier this year before

trimming.

Clean down there

And the last one #4 had only half a root system on the side that was best developed ..

the far side .. so the turn around will help all the younger less developed colas to

grow in the last weeks.

The rest of the things in my album are things for later
Next lite to test SIL as they are refered to ..
It should be better light then what I'm using and less or more power depending on

configuration or bulb sizes.

All to come later.

Just a little update , that rack and a stand alone have been made.
The big one not used till this whole grow is over.

The stand alone one .

Is being used on a bucket of soil with my last Big Bang.All of the Aurora Borealis has been harvested and dried for a total of 4.5z But before I can give a gr./watt value I have to wait for the last one the Auto Chem OG
Started on Mar.6th , should be cut down by the 14th.

After that I will be updating my buckets for some new ones.

Very nice!!
Your roots look amazing. What do you aim to keep your ph/ec at?

Also, with plants so large, its look like you could clear a lot more from the lowers. A lot of that looks like unproductive leafy bud and that energy could go to your tops.

Thank you for you kind words , I too thought too much leaf.
But my chats with other growers led me to believe that the more
leaf (panels) you have the better over all for the plant.
So I let it go till later in flower pruned a few times.

I am using the basic setup of 4 bio buckets on a table draining to a 27 gal rez , but my total water for the system sits at about 24 gals.
The PH is about 6.5 and the ppm changes in veg and flower.

I should have done a better thread on the grow.
But the final was 4.5 oz dry for the 3 plants.
One still in the tent waiting out its time.

That will be the one with the thick stock the Chem OG.
Now that one had a root ball in veg , cant wait to see it again at harvest.
