Have you ever thought of installing light movers to cut down on the number lights? It just seems that you might be able to get the same amount of coverages and reduce the amount of lights by 25% Just a thought...But, your set up looks AMAZING man im jelous haha. Good luck with the grow and keep updating!

every 4 hours the pump runs for 30 minutes .. floods the buckets and then it is drained back to the res. if you notice in the pics i have a wood block under EVERY pot because if you dont a couple of inches of water stays in the bucket, only about a centemeter of water is left in the buckets now with the block under it.

my dude you are going to get way more then 3.3 oz's per plant if all goes well...

im guessing you will get more like 13-15 lbs if your strains are good and you stay on top of everything

Very clean. Hope you stick around, there aren't too many big growers around. Looking forward to the rest of this run for sure.

Be easy

theres about a foot in between each bucket .. actually u can fit like one bucket in between 2 if you know what i mean... those bubbas were vegged for a long time like a month but for about 2 weeks i had them under shop lights .. then i put them in with the heavy dutys about 2 weeks ago and topped them. the heavy dutys are about the same age too they came from a easy cloner so they had nice roots before i put them into the hydroton.

ill be here no worries ill keep you guys updated as much as i can

Goddamnit. I always get in late. Tip Top bro, I say you've got a lot of tieing up to do, you better get your sunscreen on.
Do you have all the buckets on one res? Im asking cause I also run multiflows and my res' run dry every 4-5 days with only 36 buckets apiece.
Stay safe...
