Thats fucking ingenious mate. I've got one of those mop buckets in my downstairs bog and i look at it every morning but i didn't see what you saw, fucking ingenious.

feeling ur optimistic view bro


I have made my 1st dripper hydro system out of a bit of tube, a crap air pump and a mop bucket, yes you heard me right lol. Before you all laugh it bloody works lol

I made it last week as a trial for proof of concept and it seems to have done the trick, check the roots after 5 days

1st I made some extra holes at the bottom for extra drainage. I was a little concerned about the size of the side holes but hardly any clay balls fall through after its up to the top with balls.

Air pump, tube, clean fish tank stone and airline.

The stone keeps the clear tube at the bottom, the airline goes in until the clear tube starts bending up. there is a sweet spot that gives you maximum lift of water.

The hole cut for the clear tube to poke through to deliver the water.

Testing the system with a rooted sunflower i had on my windowsill. Sat evening, moved to veg room Sun morning.

Thursday night!!!!!!!! It bloody well works i tell ya. It had a head start with the jiffy but for the roots to grow that much I think it works? Have put the timer on so it turns of 15 mins every couple of hours or so to give them a little dry period.

Which one has been in the hydro????

Rooted Lemon Haze in the test bed. Have set the ph at 5.7 and ec at 1.6. my soil ec was 1.4 so thinkin it should be ok, only one way to find out lol. just using formulex at them mo with my canna additives. The little yellow patch started to appear a few days ago, gonna keep an eye on it.

Just my second rooted clone, mixed up but cheese or blue cheese

Veg room

Round 4. Thank you please. All cracked and just under the surface

Gotta give my 1st usb mic pic another bump


Still a little bit of thinking to do with the hydro dripper, changing the water might be a bit of a problem with the scrog, unless i just do a fairly small one i could get another mop bucket so when its ready to do the change i just lift from one to the other could work? what do you guys think, input appreciated

oh by the way its a ventura dripper system, check the link for more detail on how it works. Got the idea from a hydro book my mate gave me 2 read

edit - forgot pic side by side hydro/non hydro sunflower

thanks bro, the initial idea was something to hold the net pot in place. i think the mop bucket was in my living room from doing my fish tank and the idea just came 2 me lol

Page bump for the cleaver cunts lol

thanks westy i'm on 40 post pages so never know when its the start of the new page for some of u guys lol


got given a L.S.D seed 2day, guessing its femmed but not sure. I've germinated probably 2 many so gonna wait till next time to find out.

Is everyone having a good break so far? I'm going raving 2moro, Tranzmission at Ally Pally Got a henry of putty for 3 people, one person dont do anything should be a blast. Apparently they have sniffer dogs at big events now, shan't be taking any smoke then

 

[tip top toker]

no rest for the wicked. let me know how that LSD seed goes for you mate, i've got a couple knocking around i've been tempted by every time i clone the cheese.

 

[mcpurple]

lsd seed ay, no lsd for the rave

 

[DST]

evening fingerez. been busy I see. Only thing you are gonna need to do is cover up the bucket so there is no light going on the roots when they eventually come through the mop net (I don't think that looks like it will be an issue though.) Sweet though, be interesting to see the results.

Peace, DST

haha D was thinking that last night when i cleaned the water out the bucket and pipe was a little slimy, algae i recon from the light as well? Get the similar stuff in fish tanks but the fish love it so it keeps it at bay. will have 2 think of a way of covering. have some landscaping fabric for the top of the clay balls, just leaving it off 2 keep and eye on it.

had the normal pissing about with the ph raising but lowered the ec to 1.3/1.4 so it wont burn it. just a test any way might not even flower this girl, depends how it goes lol.

trying to think of a more practical way of doing it with separate one tank that feeds as many girls as i want but returns to the tank by gravity????

look who's talking on the box, pizza in the oven with some garlic bread relaxing hard..... might even back up the shops and get some coke for a JD

this is my big buddha blue cheese at 9 weeks just starting the flush it is not a heavy yielder i have a uk cheese x cindy 99 going in at the moment should be better?

 

[ONEeyedWILLY444]

hey fingers what do you use for your ph mate? can you recommend a meter that is good? mine just packed in.
oh and where would i get one of those usb mic's?

 

[tip top toker]

random thought. you want to get the hole in that mop bucket covered over! else you're gonna start having all sorts growing in there, not to mention root rot

 

[bloochedder]

Looking good bro. like the mop bucket idea lol Ghetto

cheers bro


buds are getting there now, 5 weeks nearly. will get some new rechargeable for the camera to show you ladies and gents.

my ears are still mashed from last night lol

 

[tip top toker]

haha, i'm chillin on the floor rather horizontally from last night, i feel ya. mines nothing more than utter and total exhaustion as opposed to hanging, not quite the same type of night as it seems you had got some crazy funk going on in my chest and stomach this weekend though, chucking and such. but the weed just made all of those feelings go away, for now

[tip top toker]

[las fingerez]

joker ttt

seedling update, the L.S.D has a twin, no shit there is a tiny little second seedling coming out of the same place as the main one. will update some pics when i find my phone. should i keep it in there with it? or transplant it to own pot? how mad is that?

 

[tip top toker]

grow it up, and intertwine them! braid them so to speak. always wanted to do that with two similar growing but different strains

 

[las fingerez]

she's only small ttt but i'll give it a go bro lol

the "twin" starting to come through LSD

the last bean to germ, most developed so far, hoping for a boy. Thai Haze

nearly there little sagey come on girl hurry the f up...

g13 looks the worst, she wasnt properly in the soil mix, has opened up some more since i had a re-align of her tap root.


edit - for the fish tank fans, still not set up 100% but here you go

 

[mcpurple]
