Rule's bio-bucket grow

[rule35sub1]

Hey Rellik. I am doing exactly that, letting water sit over night. I have a spot open for 1 for sure, maybe 2. I have an empty grow closet for the rest.

Aside from the Blue Thunder, which I know you've wanted for a while now, you really need to pop an Apollo Mist in for sure! She is absolutely gorgeous in bloom and is probably going to out-yield any of the Blue Thunders. It looks that way at this point so far anyhow. This could definitely change before its all over though and I'm pulling for my Blue Thunder #1!!

I now have 1 apollo mist that joined the party and we are waiting for some signs of sex on 3 of the plants. Any males will be replaced with a female cutting. I will post more pics soon.

high there Rule! I like you setup, I am going to set up my own bio buckets when I get back from the Cup next week. What was the deciding factor in going with the tubs instead of the pails? Just 1 600W light? I saw in BigToke's thread that his lights are vertically oriented. I am interested in that because I have a lot of vertical space and could do it I believe. The only problem would be keeping them cool, do you think a cool tube could be hung vertically? Do you have your floater/topoff hose connected to a water line as he does? Sorry to pepper ya with questions I just want to make sure I do it right Don't know much about your strains 'cept the Cough I've seen some peeps growing it in threads and it definitely looks sweet and sounds like a good high. Good luck with things I've gotcha bookmarked and am following along

peace,
phat

Hey 1/2 n 1/2. The plants are all different ages. some from seeds and some clones. i am doing a variety to see how well the bio buckets work with multiple strains.

PhatDaddy... I am using 1 400watt light at the moment and I will be adding a 2nd one in a week or two. I went with tubs cuz they were only $2 each, they are 5 gallon ones. I wish I would have gotten buckets tho. the roots have more vertical room vs. horizontal. The deeper the better IMO. I did not get my B&W poly film yet, so heat is not an issue right now. I will be keeping my res clear of the lights to keep temps low. The hoses are all 6 feet long which keeps the res from getting heated by the light. I also have 2 windows in the room which give good air flow. I live in an area of the country that is still getting cold weather too. Hope that helps you a bit.

rule you should get radiant barrier instead of poly,its only $30 including shipping on ebay per roll for a 4 foot by 100 foot roll.

i wanna see some nice big buds coming outta this BB system for ya buddy , so please keep a tighter eye on your PH and nute mix this time out , and remember , when using new products , try using them at half strenth first and working your way up , better to be underfed for a week then burned for life :wink:

looking forward to seeing you & your plants progress on this one man.

The little Apollo Mist is looking good so far, bro! I see what looks like a bit of tip burn though. Just be careful of PPM's until they really get established. I haven't had much problem with the AM taking the nutes so far. Seem pretty tolerant. The Blue Thunders on the other hand seem a bit more particular. I have been running my nutes level at the "moderately light" setting on AN's nutrient calculator. Even at these lower levels, I have gotten a bit of tip burn from time to time. I am using a ferted soil mix though so the nutrient levels may be higher than I think.

All in all, it looks really good to this point, Rule! I'm standing by seeing how your new babies do in this high performance rig! Oh, by the way, thanks for the props you gave to Organic Hydro on my behalf! Looks like everything has worked out nicely there thanks to you, my brotha!! Talk with you soon!

i promise to watch the ph very carefully, which i was doing except for the few weeks when i didn't have a meter cuz it was broken. the apollo mist has a little nute burn cuz it is a couple of weeks behind the others, she is doing fine though. still waiting to see the sex of the widow and the indicas, nothing yet...

i thought with all the good bacteria in the bio system you could push the limits a bit, maybe not.

 

[Rellikbuzz]

Updates, bro . . . updates!!

 

[rule35sub1]
