Gweedos growroom

Actually got into the room early today, got a few things done, did some more defoliation, re arranged all the totes so now I can access all of the plants pretty easily now, had to tie some of the branches up on a few of the ladies, there is some weight starting to build now also got the next round of babies into their f&d system at 5.9 pH and 300ppm with base water at starting off at100ppm.

And a few nug shots from today, day 38 of flower, some purpling In the first 2 shots it's my DBB# 2 of 5 and the only one showing it, I can't tell if it's normal or a defiency, need @thenotsoesoteric to peep it out for me



Nice frosty DBB lower, like lower lower

That purple is genetics me thinks. There have been a few to pop out some pretty colors. That one has skinny leaves like the sato so she may go more purp as she fades.

really nice @Gweedo. I love the bubblers you made with the insulation around them.

I have made them with 3 and 4 stones and they always stay on the bottom. I am going to make the next one to accept 4 inch rockwool cubes (i need to get some 4 inch square baskets). I will play around with the insulation and maybe a hinged lid...although my favorite is a spare tote of the same size and pick it up and put it in the other tote. Then get the orignal ready for the next swap

Do you prefer the flood and drains over bubblers? I kind of like the portability of the HD 45 litre (12 US gallons). the 72 is pretty nice but its heavy. I have been eying those commander XL totes the 127L (33G) But that might be overkill....with a 4 port air pump and 8 stones with splitters....you could grow the griswald family tree ! Its a sickness..

Ya i agree with eso on that purpling. Sum just display it and others wont. From my past experience any that do show it genetically, was usually sum really good shit!

@gwheels I definitely like the f&d setups better, took both my big air pumps out of the room, the noise reduction was ridiculous, and I actually use less water in these systems. Only downfall to this way is doing 6 changouts on res swap day, gonna upgrade to 2 3x4 ft tables on top of some large totes, that way it will only be 1 or 2 reservoirs to change out, and I'll have some wiggle room on top off frequency, they can't be left alone for more than 2 days now, they're drinking a lot

With a larger rez it might make sense to get a hose to hook up to a pump for water removal to the point you can lift it.
I would love to build one that sits very low to the ground. A flood and drain is the easiest and i like them as long as i keep the peroxide up and steer clear of MC in the flood and drains. The warmth + MC = lots of water changes. With AN i change the rez twice for the whole cycle and once a month in veg
