highlandhaze Nice room you got there.

Your pot setup is nice. Plants big so good veg & nicely green. Now you've gone 12/12 a week before Jul 15. They look like there going to reach your top if there is streatch to be done with. D

Do you get much light down to those lower branches ?

Nice timer switch setup. Something I need to work on .

When you water (feed) in using the 'hydrotron clay balls how is the level of the water kept from overfilling. R there channles returning to a res tank?

I'd like to know more about your system - I like it.

Post us some pics when those buds get bigger - be good to seel

theres a return pipe so nutrients circulate then when the pump stops the nutrients drain from my bottles,,,very very easy to build,,ive loads more room another 700mm if i need it,,,but im going to make a screen and bend plants through,,,,ive cut off at least 2 wheelbarrow loadsof leaves so the light can reach lower buds ,,,all seems well,,my only concern is the roots bursting the bottles,,,there getting tighter all the time,,,,,,

looking good for some good bud

highlandhaze - Micely comming along there

i bent the plants then bought another 600w light so there was 2x600w,,buds went huge after two weeks ,,,then Major fuck up,,,AAAARRRRGGGHHHHHH,,,,,,,i forgot to re set fan, room temp went over 100f,,,burnt loads of ,bud ,,,,,my wife went to close grow room door in the morning as normal ,,when sh came in to wake me up she said the door was closed all night and she could smell burning,,,,i sat bolt upright in my bed,,ran out side to room some bud went crispy just crumbled in my hands,,,,,,,,,fekin nightmare,,,,,the rest were fine still got over20,oz,,,,,,,,,,,,really good stone,,,

Hi highlandhaze

You sound like me bud, mistakes left right and centre, feck it, if it don't kill em it only makes em stronger!

Great setup by the way, and as long as you learn from your mistakes it's not really a mistake!

PS: Great setup for £20!

hate that feeling think you were very lucky though pleased for you

3ff

realy like your set up highland, you read mel thomas book aswell? thinkng about doing it myself, 1 Q 4 ya when the water is circulating and filling the bottles how do you stop the bottles form over filling? do you just time it to see how long they take to fill up and go by that? so how many plant you grow at a time? what weight you get at harvest? cheers mate..clive

oh just realised r u using the dripper system to feed em?

no clive thats airline pipes u see, to make nutes bubble,roots are flooded then ive got a overflow outlet pipe set at a height to allow nutes to return to tank,,,,,,lost three plants now to my feck up,,,but a mate visited and left me 6 durban poison plants,, ,,,,,ahhhhh good friends always cheer me up,,,,,,,,,ye ha.....

there is 11 plants in total in the hydro,best weight yet is around 6ounce on one plant biggest bud wet was 89gram,,,,,,,,,,,wadda smoke
