Excellent jobs, BR. Only one more week for you to wait. I started the final pruning of my indoor girls last night and they get the final cut Friday. The girls in the greenhouse are still about three weeks behind yours but the outdoor yield is worth the wait. I can't wait to see your cutting pics.

Thanks bro, I'll check your journal out asap.

Hahaha I know right.. It's not mine.. I have a military 0.5" cut.. But I saw it too
The cam is Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ7

The dimensions on those shots were narrowed down 75%.. The ones I have I can see pretty much inside the trichs if I zoom in.

Alright so next week I'm taking a clone out of one of the White Rhino's and I'm going to build a DWC Bubbler to grow it in..
I bought a 30L reservoir box and I'm going to be rebuilding it as soon as I get the other stuff..
- Air Stone
- Hydro net pot
- Some pebbles
- Pump

(And don't worry, I didn't spray inside..)

Hmmm looks good. What made you get that pot? They have kits for 5gl buckets so that you can just swap lids out for a net pot lid.

Well the lid has a smooth surface, so it's going to be easy to cut, it's very strong so it's not going to bend inwards or anything and well it costs 4.99
For a 30L bucket I could hold about 20L underneath the roots and have a large air stone for maximum bubbles. I read somewhere more bubbles = more yield.. well I'm all up for more yield so bring it on!

Hey, that setup looks pimp!! Only 1 question, is that's clear lid? I couldn't tell from the pic.. In any case I would wrap my lid in mylar or aluminum tape to keep the light out and reflect sum light at the same time. I'm sure u know this, but no light in the res at All!! unless u like algae that is.. Also, more bubbles mo betta! I use 4 12" airstones with 2 dual pumps. But I'll be getting sum better air pupmps soon!! (the air pumps are the key) get the best one u cAn, even if u don't need it. U can always split the air line to other airstones. Hope that helps =)

I'd spray paint the lid white if you can. That will help keep rez temps down. Also, a dual outlet air pump is a much better buy than a single outlet

I just started and I'm already getting help.. This is going to be easier then I thought. Thanks guys!!
I'm going to put mylar on the lid once I've already made the cut out for the net pot.
Honestly I was just looking for pumps online.. And Im in-between a dual pump or a quad 550L/hour pump (about 145 gallons/hour).
But with this small reservoir tank 4 air stones would be too much.
So I'm just going to use 2x 4.75" round air stones

think this is going to be enough?

 

[Stgeneziz]

sorry, i'm not familiar with that bubble disk,
this is the only bubble disk i'm familiar with, and might be perfect for your bucket!!

5 inch bubble disk

You can also just use the small version of this, they come in 6" i believe
regular airstone

you could use 2 of these and be perfect!!

BTW, I love those square buckets. Very efficient use of space IMO.

I see those longer air stones have 2 ends.. Should both ends be connected to an air pomp? Or is one end sealed?

 

[tom__420]

One end is sealed but can be unsealed to connect airstones in a series. I use two of those long airstones, they work great

 

[BlackRoses]

Alright awesome.. I think I'm ordering 3x 10" air stones
With a 9000cc per minute air pump.. The price is good and I could use a cross connector to put all 3 of the air stones in the bucket.
If more bubbles = better root development then I think my mother plant will be just fine.
If all goes well I'll make one more to veg and flower a haze.

 

[Stgeneziz]

sounds great! keep us posted.

 

[greenfirekilla420]

Haze huh? Make sure its got atleast a little indica in her or she is just gonna stretch stretch stretch stretch and WAY OUTGROW your rhinos. I deffinately underestimated the power of the haze till growing one. And WOW the only thing they want to do is GROW hahaha. Anyways I look forward to seeing you complete the challenge so lets get started haha.

 

[BlackRoses]

Oh definitely some nice haze.. I was thinking G13..
If I do a DWC grow I should have a bigger container then what I'm going to use for my White Rhino mother.. WR's rarely ever get taller then 2 feet under normal vegging.
This would also have to be in a different house.. (I'm planning on moving to a bigger place soon and will hopefully have an entire room for my plants..)
I'm looking for a place with an extra 10x13 room so I can build it into a flowering room.
I'll make sure I always have atleast 10 White Rhino's vegging, so when the flowering room is clear, they're all big and tall.
The rest of the space I'll use to grow G13, NYC Diesel and Chocolope.
Maybe one day I'll grow me some Super Silver Haze and Kali Mist too..

Btw.
I just ordered the pump, 3x 10" air stones, tubes and tube connectors online, hopefully they'll all be here early next week so I can finish the job.

I can't wait to see what you pull up next. I have a hydrobucket going now as well. I started the plant in a rotorooter cube, and then into a perlite and vermiculite mix, and then into the hydro bucket with hydroton. I am not confident in hydro, so I have no idea how its going.

I've got 2 diff hydro setups goin, DWC, and Ebb and Flow. For vegging, I don't think theres an easier and more efficient way than BP or DWC, the plants LOVE it. For flowering, the E-n-O sys works great, but I am currently doing a bubble bucket in flowering also just to get a comparison. Feel free to ask questions in any of my threads or right here if its ok with BR....

 

[BlackRoses]

Fine by me bro, I could learn a ton from you I'm sure!
Can't wait to receive the order so I can start making the damn thing..
