Bubba Kush this time.
I'm gonna try this again. It's hard to believe that its been two years since I grew pot. (a too big closet tree) . I've still got the better part of a 5 gallon pail of bud, but I really like growing, and I can't stand to let another season go by without putting my little system to work.
This year I've reduced the overhead lamp to a 400 watter, so there will be a total of 1900 watts when all the lamps are on. I think I'm gonna skip co2 this year, dont know. It adds a little effort getting the tank filled every couple of weeks and makes ventilation more complicated.
My last grow was to test the yeild limits of this space, and I succeeded . This year I just want a nice solid tree of bubba kush. The clone came from 420m's famous bubba mother, though indirectly. I hear I will need odor control with this plant, so I'm working on a carbon filter too.
I've got a big KOI pond bubbler in the bottom of a 12 gallon bucket. Its very cool, its like a thick rubber membrane with a zillion holes in it. The way-too-big air pump powers it into a froth.
3x4x tall space.
A 4 gallon media bucket with hyrdroton
Top feed at first then DWC KBS hybrid style
The bucket spills straight into the attached reservoir through a bulkhead fitting, Ive got all the pumps and sensors and heater and chiller feed in the reservoir.
A self priming pump on the back wall that can suck the bucket dry in no time and spit it down the drain. I'm an advocate for frequent changeouts.
1900 total watts now, 400 hps overhead and (12) 100 - 125 watt cfs, half are 6500k half are 2700k, there is about 6.5 feet from the top of the hyrdroton to the hps lens. I can go up a little more if needed.
So - keep an eye on things, they happen fast and hard in here, I hope.
