My only concern at this point is I have clones of ‘it’s mendo dope strain ‘ -locomotion x querkle- in a tub that I pretty much have abused !!!
I slipped a disk in my back two weeks ago and put assembly of system on hold meanwhile I had clones sitting in tub with high ph (7.6) because I last did dwc 7years ago and at that time with the water from the store mixed with gh mutes I would have a ph of 6.0 .... but the water has obviously changed here anyway finally checked with new meter and fixed that !!!
But at this time I also did big no-no and didn’t check ppm until I received a new meter and realized the meter was on wrong setting and I actually was around 1200 ppm !!!!! But I have all that correct now and as you can see the new growth is doing fine ....only concern is I had a little bit of brown roots so I raised nutrient depth to bottom of netpots and gave em a shot of uc roots at 6 ml/ gallon ...... I’ll get a pic of them roots tomorrow .... I should have temporarily hooked up the chiller to the veg tub while I built the rdwc system but like I said I threw my back out and was immobile / paralyzed for first three days and just now getting moving the last two days after five chiropractor adjustments every other day -last visit was two days ago and on the road to recovery just have to not try and lift riding lawnmowers anymore !!!!

Looks like you got your hands full! But you're definitely gonna have some fun it looks like. I can totally relate to the back pain. I run 14 five-gallon DWC buckets and always fuck something up if I have to move them around a bunch 😂 I need to grow a few less strains and just get my rdwc system back up and running too so I don't have as much work to do. Good luck on your grow, can't wait to see what you can do

😂 I usually get at least a QP from each, I could easily do the same with my smaller 3.5 gallon buckets but I like the 5 gallons so I don't have to top them off as often, I can go a few days without messing with them if I want

Then it goes to a pressure step up pump to increase pressure for reverse osmosis deionazation system ....I set the pressure to 90 pounds for more efficient reverse osmosis .... plan on putting a second reverse osmosis membrane in system to reduce water waste in process but it is on bsckorder ....

Not a whole lot of progress today ... started doing yard work at eight a.m. was busy all day and didn’t actually get started on grow system till 6:00 p.m. !!!!!
But did get holes in tote lids cut and sprayed with truck bed paint
Also have a picture of clone roots which haven’t gotten any browner so I think I caught it in time with uc roots but need to get system up and running with chiller !!!!03E89D10-EB00-4874-8C68-D85594B02F56.jpegD8A93A0F-A144-4F93-B076-9D1D88ABD2AF.jpeg

Alright here we grow now !!! Have system plumbed and no leaks !!! Hooked up pump with water chiller and am ready to run some dedicated circuits for each part of system ,air pumps on two different circuits and water chiller on it’s own and water pump on its own. Existing circuit in room should handle air conditioner and ultraviolet air sterilizer And lastly a circuit for the lights two hlg 550’s...

Everything plumbed in but pump was leaking so I went to hardware store and but real threaded /barbed connections and stopped leaks BUT now the pump housing is actually leaking , just a drip every five seconds or so but still unexceptable...... any suggestions???

Well had to reconfigure the system because the evoplus pump is price of crap !!! The fittings that came with it to use it online were junk so I replaced with threaded barb fittings from hardware store - leak stopped there but - it was also leaking in impeller housing cover .... tightened but still dripping SO I reversed glow put pump in controller tote and used as submersible pump and am running backwards compared to heisrnbeans setup .... which eliminates waterfall effect but I will double up air pumps/stones until I can get dependable leakproof inline pump ! Any suggestions appreciated....
Here is some picks of rootball mess before transfer ! Hopefully they absorb the shock of transfer ....
Hopefully they like the new hlg 600’s 883F7C79-8E27-474E-ACE4-3323921B5488.jpegF7EF631D-3AE6-44E9-9487-874AE4856723.jpeg
