Week 8 Flower Still SMALL BUDS!!!!

[Budley Doright]

YES you are correct it's small and will NOT chill the water like a professional chiller but it works just enough to keep the water at the correct temperature in the summer if you have cooling problems. Not major heat just a bit excessive water temps over 70. I run 17 gallons.

It does work though ! I guess if you wanted you could install 2 lol

I'll try the water cooler first and see what that does. I run a passive system now with about 200' of copper tube buried and filled with glycol but come summer it don't do shit lol. Good to know about the Pelletier though .

Thanks brotha! I appreciated the feedback. I wish I had kept clones those girls. I am gonna be growing just 1 GDP as a scrOG on my next grow... hopefully I can dial it in a little better next run.

Were you basing the 2 to 3 weeks on the first on second set of images I posted?

Re-veg them after harvest.. just leave sum bud and leaves n feed sum grow nutes then stick them under lights till new shoots pop outta bud sites. Take you a while, but if strains are worth it then re-veg.! Good luck and happy growing

Here are some other pics with different strains. I believe photo ending in number 1952 is the 3.3lber. although I can't remember jack lol I asked my buddy for the photos. He takes all the pics to store. I'll take pics of my new ones tonight. Sorry for thread hijack.

Wow

Hey Budley,

I think(?) you mentioned using 6" square pvc.

If so-----can you say where you found it?------I've been looking for it.

IMO, those 5" fence posts (GH aeroflow size) are too small for large plants.

Wish I could find 6" wide x about 12"-16" deep.

A~~~

Home Depot I believe or Rona. The big issue was it was 6" outside dia. Drilling the holes were tricky, there out on my scrap pile so I'll take exact measurements latter when it warms up, it's - fuckin 15 out there lol. I was thinking of using this stuff as the top (if laid horizontal) would be removable to access root zone if needed, still small though.

Here is an idea for everyone if you struggle with water temps in the summer.

This keeps my res always under 70 always mostly 65 to 68. Take your basic thermal cooler that uses a 60w electric pelt and cut out a square in your res and install this using a two part epoxy or a strong epoxy putty.

where would i find one of those,,never even knew tht type of thing existed,,but very cool and smart//can u direct me on where to find tht and what exactly is it called? thanx bro

This looks promising

Just take off the fans on the cooling side and take out wires and seal it. That one is 120w. Heck I might even get one lol

If you go on ebay you can buy these just like this instead of buying a thermal cooler and ripping it apart. You can buy 40w 60w 100w 120w 180w or more. $25 to $80. Beats paying $250 to $500 for a pro grade chiller.

I was actually going to mention that as opposed to cutting them out . Or use the cooler and cycle the water through it. I have a slightly different issue right now, my res is frozen solid, turn the heater off last week when it went up to 50, now it's 5f here lol,

Ever maybe consider a heat mat for aquariums at a pet store kinda like a shatter heat mat for the purge container?

LOL it's gonna take turning the heat back on, I was just getting ready for a new run and hadn't cleaned the water out yet ..... lazy .

I found one of the pics from a further away standpoint of view.

This plant was the 3lbs 3oz er, swear to god! lol. Each branch was like a smaller plant. My buddy went through all the photos and we believe this is the one. He took a snapshot of the computer screen so I'll have to go get the original photo it would be more clear to see. It was 6ft wide !
