hey everybody its been a while.. I have been distracted for the last few months but I am getting back in gear now... there have been a few changes in my life so I am briefly living back with the trees while I get resituated
anyways on with the show...
I am pretty much starting from scratch.. I have filled my other room with my old systems completely with spare clones that I had... I filled five systems at once and then the remaining ones a few weeks later... the oldest ones will be ready for harvest in about 11 days.. I will get some bud shots up soon...
but my WW room is completely empty.. and due for a cleaning because it is a disaster right now.. I have gotten a few more crops with it under my belt during my break.. decent numbers but nothing crazy, in fact I didn't keep track of the numbers because I knew that weren't gonna break any of my bests...but I got a great batch of clones and I will be ready to fill the room in under a week
here they are after a week in the cloner before they were transferred to the veg system...
i have had my old mom for over a year and a half now and i am having trouble keeping it standing upright lol... so i have decided its time to start a new mom... i have been growing my moms in my old Waterfarms connected to a controller reservoir... but i wanted to build an aero system that would grow fast and produce healthy clones..
i built this with 99% recycled parts that i had lying around... all i had to buy was the bottom 10g Rubbermaid container..
i don't know if this has already been done or a variation of it.. but it is pretty simple... i apologize if so, i don't get much time to ready too many threads...
the bottom container is the the rez...it is 10gal tote and i try to keep it mostly full, so it holds roughly 8gal of nutes.. i used my old cloner lid for the rez which has a bunch of 2'' holes in it that was for the neoprene pucks.. i drilled a hole in the side at the bottom and put a 3/4'' grommet and straight barb and attached the tubing to the pump...which is a 396 and external.... then i have 1/2'' tubing coming out the top attached to a tee piece in the top container
i then drilled holes in the top container which i put a sink strainer in to keep the roots contained to the top tote....
i then put a piece of "swiss cheese" pvc with a bunch of holes drilled in it to act as a overflow drain if the roots clog it... and the 1/2'' tubing with sprayers wrap around the edge of the container.. i just used waterproof duct tape for it.. you can see in the pic where it attaches to the tee
that's pretty much it... you can detach the tubing from the top tote and put it somewhere else to harvest etc.. and u can have multiple ones daisy chained together and attached to a controller rez.. i was gonna attach mine to the controller that the rest of my moms are on but instead just gave it it's own float valve.... the top container gives the plant 18gal of aero root space, so it should grow some monster plants..!!
after my mom gets big enough i am gonna remove my old mother.. here she is after being transplanted..
alright that's it for now... i will post some bud shots in the next few days... i debated on whether to start this thread or reboot my old one... but i am closer to my plants this days so i will regularly take pics along the way to follow this next WW crop from start to finish...and future crops.. stay tuned.. i hope everyone enjoys the show..!!!
