Hi BigToke!

its been a while since i posted on your threads, sorry...just been reading them.

i have a question about the fans you have hooked up to the lid of your reservoir. i would like to do the same for my aeroponic setup to lower temps. i have attached a couple of photos - hope you don't mind...
if i have 2 fans with the following specs, can i wire them the same way you have yours wired? (with the cord)

Voltage: 12V
Current: 0.15~0.18AMP
Air Flow: 32~35 CFM
Speed: 2800RPM+/-10%
Dimensions: 80x80x25mm
4 pin power connector


thanks, BigToke...hope you are well.

peace.

Hey Sleepy it’s good to hear from you ~ good luck with your aeroponic setup ~ I am not quite for sure about those fans, mine are 115V I got those from some store on the internet but you should be able to find them just about anywhere.

Ok ok I know, I’ve been a little bit slow about my updates but it’s been a very busy summer so far ~ so here’s what’s going on in BigTokes Grow/Room ~ both are growing as expected the H.D.F is on the average two & half to three foot tall, they are in there 27-day of flowing and are doing great ~ as for the AK-47’s go, they are also in the 27-day of flowing and are doing great also ~ I had some free time to take a few pic’s so enjoy!!

TSD ~ that’s not a C02 machine, that’s a dehumidifier………….

Bonzo ~ how’s it going bro, I have found that if your going to grow trees that the vertical lighting works best but if there two foot and under I would stick with Horizontal lighting.

Well here we are at 40-days of flowering and there packing on the weight and resin ~ I’ve not had a lot of time to devote to this grow as I’ve had in the past but that’s one of the beauties of this system it doesn’t need all that much of attention to do it’s job.

Well that’s enough chit-chat for know so here some pic’s…………..
Photo’s of AK-47

Bonzo ~ yea I read a lot of mixed reviews myself about the H.D.F but considering what they were supposed to yield I thought I would go ahead and try them and they have not disappointed me thus far ~ the dehumidifier is left on all the time day & night ~ yea the H.D.F is going to finish about a week or so before the AK’s but that alright with me that way it gives me time to catch up with every thing.

I suppose thus far that the AK’s are my fav ~ they look as thou that they will yield as much as the H.D.F and is bubble the resin and goes longer in flowering and smells more skunky, folks around here love that skunky smell so it will be welcomed every much.

Also the AK’s are more easier to deal with and can take more nutrients then the H.D.F and I like that; I was not able to give them all that they wanted because of the H.D.F was not able to take it………..looking back on it now I will NOT do this again with these two strains together I will only do one at a time from now on with these two strains.

On the flip side on all this; the H.D.F is more down my alley and I myself will love it…………I like a more laid back and easy going fruity smoke and NOT that couch lock stuff……………Ak-47 is going to have some kind of kick to that’s for sure!!! But all in all both are going to be great!!!

Bucket Boy ~ long time no see, hope every thing is going well for ya……..it’s good to see your still around.

Haya Sleepy ~ lol that is funny about the BB’s and thanks for the kind words it’s always good to hear from you I hope all is going well with ya I’ve not had a lot of time to set down and do a lot of interknitting lately but I’ve been trying to keep pretty good documentation on this grow………………………….when I get some more time I am going to finish that Bio-Grow-Program that I started on a few mounts back, I also thought about making a DVD on the Bio-Buckets System that would contain that program and some live footage of how I do what I do for a 100% guarantee good crop!! And tons of every useful info on the system and how it does it’s thing along with some great pic’s and FAQ’s that have already been asked ~ of course none of this is ready now but it is in the working!!!

Btw here's a few more pic's for ya to look at.....................

Wow! :yoinks: I just found your information and the last 5 hours of my life just disappeared! :woohoo: I will be back to study some more. :lurk: Unfortunately, I just purchased another system I want to work with before I make any changes. Maybe I can integrate some of the things I'm learning to my new system??? Probably not.

All the best,
Mary

Hey BT. How is it going? They look like they are coming along great.
I have a question for you. You ever have any of your plants fall over cuz they are not rooted well enough? I ran into this on my amnesia99, she got so heavy on one side that she started to tip. I tied her up for the last 2 weeks. Is there anyway I can avoid this in the future?

Thanx, Rule
