###1200w 3x6 E&F Smart Pot Grow###

I didn't buy a stand for my table and I'm having problems getting it level which I didn't need with the drip system I needed it angled for all the nutes to drain back to the res. Right now the left side of the table is getting deeper than the right not too bad but off by 2inches it's 4in on the left and 2in on the right. It's flooding deep enough so my plants are being fully watered but I want it perfect I'll have to post pics. One end of my table rests on a rubbermaid container and the other end is hangin over my res..

so why did you go with the smart pots this run vs the air pots? i know you cant flood and drain the airpots, or so iv read, but you could have set those up on a drip system. just curious. looks fucking tits, gonna be a lot easier than hand watering. good luck
Thanks it's all purps and 2 blueberry's! I'm so excited to have a good harvest of "quality" smoke cuz my last 2 runs were not up to my expectations and I blame it on the heat upstairs and a ph drop test kit. Every lil point matters in hydroponics and the filtered water has made a HUGE difference....
Well I went with the Smart Pots cuz I wanted the option to do flood and drain and they were much easier to top flush than Air Pots IMO.. I was going to do a drip system till I bought all the shit and didn't have a drill to make holes in my irrigation lines and it looked like WAY more shit to go wrong on me. Plus flood and drain is probably the best way to water pushing all the gasses in the medium up through the top and then when it drains in sucks in fresh oxygen to the roots. My best CFL plants were done with me dunking my containers doin manual flood and drain so I'm STOKED to have it automated. For those wondering right now my veg mix is as follows
7ml Aqua Flakes A&B
1ml Roots Excelurator
2.5ml Multi Zen
I'm seeing new growth on everything so can't wait to see some nice bushes soon! I know some may ask why am I using Multi Zen in veg well it's cuz I've noticed faster growth when using it at a lower dose in veg...

Looking good Thundurkel! Quick question, sorry if I missed it, but what tent is that? I just bought a Homebox XXL. I'm pretty excited to get it set up and running, because my current space is very tight.
I went with a GrowLab GL120L and be sure NOT to spill water under the secondary floor cuz it will leak through the stitching!!! I found out the hard way trying to get my table level while it was flooding LOL idiot move I know!
http://www.bghydro.com/BGH/itemdesc.asp?ic=GRHBS04&eq=&Tp= XXL - 9.3' x 4.6' x 6.6' - original MSRP: $499.00
Check this out. I got it for less than $250 shipped. The color isn't as grey as the the picture looks, more of an off white. Either way, I have tons of panda film, so I just planned on sticking that up with some velcro on the upper portion of the tent.

Bobble if you can get some Orca Grow Film the shit is better than mylar and panda film I really would like to cover the inside of my Grow Lab with it just watch the video and you can see how much better and even light distribution you get with it the shit is awesome..

Thanks for the tips Thundurkel! Especially about the liner not necessarily being water proof.. lol I would have found out by accident if it wasn't for you! That Orca Film looks nice! Thanks again.
No worries bro that's what this site is for, real cannabis grower's experience but you gotta take a average of those who know their shit lol... I ever get to do a whole room it's gonna be lined with that Orca Film for sure! 50% more light than mylar is just lovely that's A LOT of extra light to fatten lower branches and tops for that matter.
I'd like to update the grow and say I've got roots shooting out the sides of a few plants and they are nice and bright white and I have healthy new growth going on. Switched the lights up to 100% and I can tell it's kicked the plants into gear growing much faster than they did under my 400!

Hey thundurkel I have looked through all your grows, itsalways enertaining.. ill be following along with this one!
You know I was worried about that too and had a homie that wanted to cut into the walls and give me another oven plug or some shit and I was like I'll try it out first... I had figured like this, CFL cab was 296w and then I had my tent with the 400 I figured shut those down and I cover my pump and 1 light and my exhaust fan. I also figured breakers would blow if my shit was too much and NOPE! All good over here! My system is a power strip plugged into the wall and a exstension cord plugged in to that for my lights timer and the pump is on the strip along with another exstension cord that's plugged into my ac axial fan. Oh yea I also have my intake a 4" Vortex plugged into the strip also.. Also still able to run tv , lights, ac, oven ect .. Good luck
WOW... That's quite a load on that circuit... lol
I'm running 2 600w digital lumateks, a 440cfm fan, a 170cfm fan, a stanley blower, 3 circulating fans, and 1 CFL. That's everything I think... No problems yet.
Looking great Thundurkel.
