On my 6 plant medical grow, I use a similar system. I gow in expanded clay. The large 6 pot system has a 50 gallon temp controlled reservoir (I use a 1/10th hp chiller). This keeps the root zone a cool 68 deg. My control bucket has 5 magnetic switches and a timer control box. Each of the 6...

I feel your pain. Each row is 32 plants and right at 60 gallons of nutes. So yea. Pricey. Here's how I'd go about it. In flower, a fresh mixed batch is around 1100 -1200 ppm. Each reservoir has auto top off using RO water. When the ppm's drop to about half that, it gets changed. Usually that's...

I'll play devil's advocate, as I haven't done the research, but here's my guess. I THINK I see a lot of 3000k LED's, followed with some 4000k LED's with a nice mix of 660 nm reds? Am I close?

I had to close my eyes and visualize how that might be possible. Within a few seconds, I can see how one would think you had electronic biometric hidden doors leading to an environmentally controlled laboratory, with a built in 10,000 square foot "Bud Bank", carefully preserving the dankest of...

Indeed we do. Due to different strains, we needed to be able to move them up or down, though we have tried to keep each row the same strain, or 32 plants per row. We built an adjustable lighting height system. I used a series of cables, Unistrut and mounted crank mechanisms to the wall. This...

Just made it through the last page of your journal. And so it begins.... I DIG what Atreum has done with their controller! Those boys are really stepping up the game!

Well I guess It's time for the Happy One to chime in here. After all, I was bragging about these guys when it wasn't considered kosher to do so. These guys have been with us from the git go, and provided our first true MH lamp replacement. I realize they have progressed much further in the...

This was really a hard one to turn down, as it's right up my "interest alley", so to speak. Hopefully, I can participate in the next one. I've spent some time going through many contestants profiles with some pretty outstanding grow journals to back them up, and what it looks like is we're in...

Oh I'm into testing.... Do tell?

Man I so look forward to following progress of the participants! This is gonna be a fun ride!

With all the proverbial irons in the fire at the moment, and as much as I have been looking forward to an even playing field comparative, I have to sit this one out. However, thank you for the invite and keep me in mind on the next run. You can bet the Happy One will be tuned in to this...

Time for an update, and it's gonna be a doozy, the kind I tend to dwell on a little too much truth told. First off, It's a real sobering time for us folks at the Happy Cola. So much so, I might need to unpack this over the next few days, if not weeks, because there are a lot of unknowns. We...

Thank you for your kind words! I am indeed "humbled" to the max!

Since this thread first began all the pictures I have taken have been from my Samsung S-6 Active, a rather dated phone by todays standards I presume. Don't get me wrong, it takes pretty good pictures I guess, however, I ran across some photos I had my daughter take, who has a photography degree...
