Alright! The buckets are broke out of storage and re-assembeled. I'll start by saying what i have planned and then move on to what i have done allready.
So far i'v sprouted
10 chem d x sour d
10 kali most
5 chemhaze x sour d
5 fat russians
5 neveills haze x grapefruit (femms)
100% germination on all seeds.
The plan is to have 2 driiferent setups. My "1K cabinet", and a 600w tubbler setup. The 1000 watter has 12 5 gallon buckets under it paced about as tight as it gets. Space is just over 4 feet by just over 5 feet. The walls are very tightkeeping all light where it should be. Very little dispersment. Heat was a problem but it's all sorted out now. a couple of 6" elecient fans took care of the heat.
All of the buckets have airstones for peace of mind sake. I have 12 spare 60gal aquarium air pumps so i figured why not? Buckets are built virtually to big tokes specs and have been used before. My res is outside the growspace. I've got a blanket over it to reduce noise of a large waterfall and to ensure no light gets at it. It's big. 2200 gph pump . I'v got a raised central colonization/lava filter that all return water passes through. I've got the fancy aquarium fish filter (floval 305) inline on the way to my chiller that rests on the other side of the wall. It puts out a bit of heat. As do the ballasts, lights, ect. So I've got a "hot room" That allows all the hot air to be dealt with by heating the rest of the house. 2 more 6" elecient fans in there too. Here is the res and if you turn your head to the side it's more of a "hot hall"."
Ac up front chiller's in the back. Havn't needed the ac yet and wont now that winter's coming.
All variables are good. My thermometer and rh stat are directly under the light so it is the hottest and least rh place in the room.
I know about the temp. It's allready taken care of. Ph has been stable for over a week. No fluctuation at all.
I was really impatient and decided to throw the 5 chemdxsourd and 5 nevhazxgrapefruit directly under the 1k almost as soon as they had their first true leaves.
Did i mention really impatient/stupid?
Anywhat you may notice 6 of the seedlings are bigger and burnt. They are the ones that had to be removed and put back with the seedling. To my amazement 4 took. 2 of each. They are going great. I'll post pics in a few days.
I'll be using a 400wmh for vedge (not built yet. Doing tonight) but for this first run i'l fit whatever i can in the buckets with 1k mh and then sqitch back to hps for flower. ONce i figure out what's male and female i'll be doing 2 seperate scrogs /w clones. Probably tonnes i missed but i'll fill in the blanks later. Looking foward to ppls responses.
