what up all, this is my first journal ever and i hope you enjoy it! system is a 4 site 13gal DIY under current modeled after current culture's design. air 35lpm water pump 950gph. 1000w hortilux hps for flower and i use t5 for veg. everything is water cooled with ice boxes and wort chillers. this grow came out very frosty, i didn't snap any pics of the finished flowers unfortunately. any DIY uc questions i'm happy to answer! i'm a novice. just joined icmag and I've already learned a few things so i'm glad to be here for sure and looking forward to additional tips and tricks! :tiphat:

mistakes i made: not continuing defoliation into flower, air flow was restricted, eventually attracted thrips late into flower. growing in the tent you gotta keep the foliage in check for sure. also over nuked nutrients a little (1.6EC). that's a problem of mine i'm learning. product was still pretty nice

hey subsonikz. welcome and a nice setup you have
quick question.. i see we have a similar air pump... they get very hot with 24hr usage.. you noticed that?? the air coming out can easly get over 100F.. or is your unit better?

blueberrydrumz · Jul 22, 2015

also your cloner looks neat... pls explain the diy - thx

subsonikz · Jul 22, 2015

they definitely get hot. raise the temp in a room a few degrees for sure. i was originally running ones that were twice the lpm (HYDROFARM AAPA110L) and i honestly downsized because running two of them on both systems concurrently was obnoxiously loud. they were vibrating so intensely that i could hear the walls shaking. that's them sitting on carpet. my wort chiller keeps the water at 68 during lights on and 65 lights off so if that air was making it hotter the chiller keeps it in check. i haven't had any problems with the 35lpm one and that's the one that current culture ships with their systems so its alright for the baseline i suppose. the cloner utilizes a fogger, i got the best one i could find cause cheaper ones will shit out on you. it was about 100 dollars. RO water only i get roots in about two weeks. thanks for looking sir!

subsonikz · Jul 22, 2015

it's worth noting the 35lpm still gets hot as hell, too hot to hold your bare skin on for more than 10 15 seconds. i would keep them outside the room probably if it wasn't so cold in there

blueberrydrumz · Jul 22, 2015

nice, yeah most of the time its better to buy something proper and pay a bit extra $
whats the brand fogger is it?
just RO, nice

subsonikz · Jul 22, 2015

this one is the aeromist nutramist. it heats the water to around 85-90 so you get a nice warm 100% humidity atmosphere. come with replaceable ceramic discs as well. works great

blueberrydrumz · Jul 22, 2015

nice, thx for the info.. whats the details on your strain?? own cross?

subsonikz · Jul 22, 2015

np. this strain I got from bag seed Ha I don't risk that Shiz anymore . too much time to turn out something mediocre feel me.. I got 1 more seed saved I might run in a future soil setup. what setup you got man?

Subsonikz, good stuff man. How's the smoke?
On to the purple grow!

egardens · Aug 27, 2015

Hey subsonikz, sweet setup! Looks pretty well made. Where did you find those containers? Also did you use regular 3" ABS pipe and how did you connect them to the container? Thanks man! I have am running a diy rwdc (UC) system with 5gal lowes buckets and pieced together like macguyver! lol. I ran 1" lines with 1/2" return line.

Nice work!

EG

subsonikz · Aug 28, 2015

containers are from maniac botanix just google that, 3" abs with uniseal bulkheads. Check out the bulkhead option made by current culture h20 it is much better than uniseal option. 1" is plenty for return lines I would shoot for 2" or 3" manifold piping. Big up man
