4 32 site xl undercurrent systems in a 20X40 room

What nutrients are you using? Did you end up flushing them or running nutes all the way through? That pic of the finished bud looks so good I can taste it! Would love to toke up some time after I’m far along with my own process myself buddy!

Cultured solutions. I flushed 4-5 days.
Ok I was looking at some vapor deficit charts and I'm not really agreeing with those numbers. I like to be about 78-80 and 45-50 but that puts me in the red. No way would I want my room 69 and 45.

Rt on!!!
I'm going with 25ft coils as well. I'm going to set up my two flower rooms like the pics I'm including with 2 12bucket sites in each...Its the same concept tho. I'm hoping since I'm using LEDs in my rooms, those will help with the water temps as well. What chiller are you using?
Your set up looks great!! Thanks for sharing.
Inspiring for a RDWC "soon to be like me." Lol

How sweet it is.. having the right equipment is part and being familiar with different types of hydro. Knowing what you need and then trying to throw it all together. It has been fun. Lot of homework involved. Lots of google. Patients and most important half strength nutes.

Your not wrong man knowlege is definetly key no matter how much time spent searchin the internet an readin everything theres always more to learn. I came across this because i was researchin rdwc cause outta all hydroponics its wat grabs me the most even kno iv never dabbled in any sort of hydro. One day soon ill give it a crack but on a miniture scale compared to yours.

Bro keep it simple while still doing what needs to be done and I'm a firm believer that if you start 1/2 strength nutes and have it all together you're golden. I'm just now hitting 575ppm week 4. Trying to ease them up but kind of scared to cuz a lil to much will really hurt

U need one big ass chiller to cool nutes and room. Lol. Definitely easier with ac units.

Anyone who is trying to use a chiller for ur grow.. use a bigger chiller tank. I have found out that 100 gal res wasn't enough water to cool 560 gallons and of nutrient. I added 45 ish gal and every since has really made a difference. That and be sure your chiller has enough room to breathe fresh air not it's own heat. I removed ceiling tiles in its 9x9 room and put a floor fan right In front of it and blow the air straight up. That helped a ton. Just brought chiller up to 62f and nute temps are 66-68 day and get down to 63.5 at night

Crazy how they ALL disappeared? None have the courage to admit they were wrong?

Do you think you could have fit the XXL13 gallons or no way in hell?

 

[killakanna]

I know 14 not that much but the right strain will get a pound per site. Wish the glue would have been better weed cuz it was monster. I got rid of it tho. The blue dream is looking nice. Major side branching cant wait to see what they do.

Why didn't you keep a cut of the GG4?! I deffo want a cut of that Blue Dream bro!! I had some Blue Dream x Stardawg but I had to end the grow due to unforeseen circumstances. :[.

Currently going to start out with

GG4 x Stardawg
Sour Diesel IBL
GSC x Chemdawg (GMO Strain will be looking for a sweet yet gross pheno)
Purple Sundae Punch = (Fruity Pebbles X Grape Pie) x (Larry OG x Granddaddy Purple)
Gelato x Biscotti

Part of me is scared that I may have gone with too many strains, did you try to keep it with just one strain per res so you could really dial in the nutes, etc?

Not really. Def would hav ed been less plants which is longer veg. So no.

Not really. Full system of blue dream. I sure would prob do 2 per system at most

You are an absolute G. Guess all those detractors were pretty wrong.

 

[killakanna]

Why'd you trellis some and not others? Are there multiple strains in there

Multiple strains yes. The lost cause stays short and in more need of a cage. The branches are super strong with super dense coals they wont fall over. I honestly did not clean the plants up much at all. I will see how it ends. These lost cause are definitely bigger than the last lost cause. Haven't really had no issues with roots clogging up. That glue plant was beast as fuck. My friend h as a a much nicer glue cut I cant wait to run.
