Got the first pump properly fitted now to the eight buckets and I've used some truncking to tidy the lines up, I got away with one piece of truncking for all 4 lines in each cab, it was a tight squeeze but does the job. I've checked all 8 lines and there is air coming through.

I'm not sure how powerful it should be but you can def feel it coming out of each line. I'll get the other ones done tomorrow and hopefully get these ceiling plates all measured out and fitted also. I'll post update pics then too.

My main lights have just arived, man there super bright. I looked at them for a split second and my eyes are aching like fook now:) Ill def need some decent sunglasses for these. He has made it so one light plugs into the other so i just have to use one plug for the extension lead:)

I have a very very good feeling about these lights, he rekons i should be able to hit 2g per watt when i have my growing techinique sorted, if i can get 1.5g per watt on my first grow id be more than impressed.

Ive been rethinking what strain to grow, i wanted to grow 2 but then i realised if i have 2 strains finishing at 2 different times im not gonna have anywhere to dry it so i think im gonna just do 1 strain, i have been doing some reading up and think im gonna go for barneys farm vanilla kush. Its a 600g per sq mtr yeild and more importantly the smoke is meant to be awsome!!

Some more airline just arrived so il get those fitted later this afternoon. Im gonna try taping a soundproof tile ontop of the pump as its pretty silent upstairs but you can here it on downstairs lol, im thinking because i havent got the sides and top soudpoofed its vibrating from there and making the cabs slightly vibrate. I may aswell try and cover the fan with these tiles aswell and use them up. I can cut them to size and do a nice neat job.

Ive ordered those ceiling plates and hooks as i figure they will be perfect for me.

Glad to see alls going well :) Could you still run the 2 units separately (LED's) if you so wished?? I mean when you've finished vegging and upstaged you VEG Ladies accross to flower.... You'll need the VEG cab in darkness to keep your drying bud in!? If both units are running (on one plug) this may cause a prob..You may have to ask the dude you bought the lights off if he can fix you up with a separate power source for each.. What are your thoughts? -

2g Per Watt is very impressive.. I do hope they pull it off :) :) :) .. 9 times out of 10 most strains start and finish around the same time.. give or take a few weeks. Its up to you though.. choose a stinky, large, female, Indica heavy, large yielder.. And you'll be happy trust me :)

I'll take a look at the Vanilla Kush in a sec.. The numbers sound good though :) How much are the seeds, are they from a known trader?

Sound proofing sounds up to Par :)

Looking forward to seeing those lights up...Find out about separate power supply's though :) - STELTHY :leaf:



Ps/ if you wanted we could get a min cab/ set of drawers to match ur main unit.. and use it as a separate drying chamber?? Would be a doddle to make and blend in..just a thought :) - STELTHY :leaf:

Fill the pots with water and test the bubblers + airlines out :) if there are to many bubbles and the air is 'having it' you can get small air-flow controllers that limit the air-flow to a speed of your choice. I look forward to your pics

Once alls in place all thats really left to do is decide where you want all your cables to meet at before attaching them all to either 1 or 2 sockets via multi-ext lead's ie up above the cab (like mine) , in the top cab, ...down one side etc etc so a little bit of crimp and join with the wire's :) and you/we should have ourselves a very tidy, powerful as well as rewarding bit of kit :)

Do the handles un attach from the pots?..No big issue but just something I'd do to keep everything PRO looking :) - STELTHY :leaf:

Another productive day, im really pleased to say the least. It,s such a relief to be able to do the rest myself as i'll have it done in no time:)

I think we underestimated how much airline we would need lol, i bought 60ft to start with and thats done the first 3 lol, i have another 60ft on order but ill need another 200ft on top of that lol. Ive ordered it anyway. As i say first 3 buckets are done, ive left plenty of slack in them for final adjustments and its easy and quick to do:):):)

Ive checked each line and there is plenty of air coming through but i do have them on full power as realised you can adjust them at the 8 way manifold:)

Internal 90 degree bends are fitted and sealed, i cant get at the nearside one to seal it from the outside but ive put plenty on the inside and they arent going anywhere and they will be airtight, i have fitted the flanges too.

Im still looking good at finishing this week but i do need to get a few final bits. Cha Ching ill get at a later date but i still need to get superthrive, how much do you think ill need of this as its pricey. 450ml bottle is over 30 notes, let me know and ill order it. I need to get a ph tester and ec tester too, those ones on ebay look ok but these look better although expensive they have a 5 year guarantee:). It does PH and EC. I take it with these i would only need 1 for all the plants?

I also need to order that hammerhead pk stuff, ive read they have stopped making it for some reason but there is still some being sold, i was thinking 3ltrs?

The last thing is i cant seem to get the lids off 5ltr Canna nuites lol, there is a diagram on the side but it seems to say you need some sort of spanner?

Anyway here is a few update pics:)

Yeah...You'll need a Canna-Spanner, most stockists should sell them ..They are red..I've seen one before :) - STELTHY :leaf:

Its just the 2 main lights that run off one plug mate and the veg light has a seperate power supply:)

Ive changed my mind on strain again lol, im def gonna go with DNA genetics as they are meant to be awsome and i think im gonna try there recon. Heavy yeilder of strong stuff and flower in about 8-9 weeks:)

Im gonna get the lights hung today as long as the ceiling plates turn up lol. Ill get a load of pics odne then. Ill def need another extension lead for the pumps as the plug even when pushed down the 90 degree bend isnt long enough so i was thinking use an extension in the top cab and run it down to the main cabs. Ill have a seperate plug socket for each cab. There both pretty close to the cabs aswell.

As i say let me get these lights hung and ill get a load of pics taken. Ill test the pots out aswell. Should i just get a few fine bubbles or should the whle bucket of liquid be bubbling?

Ah thats good news glad they are powered separatly :) DNA genetics Hmm ok :) which strain?? was it Recon?? I'll be happy to see those lights hung :) Do you want me to draw up a diagram of where the plugs etc could go/be hidden....In relation to the cabs..Where in the room is your mains supply?

The bubbles produced in each tub should be quite strong..(not crazy) but so bubbles completly cover the surface area on the top of the water...And so you can see/feel the bubbles popping an inch or 2 above the water level against your hand .. That'd be perfect for each pot - STELTHY :leaf:

A quick pic of the veg light all hung up, ive nothin to compare it to but its mega bright, the flowering lights with the new bulbs are gonna be twice as bright as these and there is 2 of them lol.

Ill def have to get some grade 4 sunglasses/goggles as even looking into the cab hurts your eyes:)

All done mate, im shagged lol. Nearly dropped a bollock with the bungees, one was already loose and i undid the other one and the light went but i managed to catch it. Ill do one at a time in future and make sure there properly tight.

Im gonna have to have a mess around with them over the weekend as im not sure i can bungee the fan in place now, if we make the plants about 3ft i may get away with it as the bungees may be able to fit over the light. Im done for today though my sis is just finishing lining the top for me. If i cant im gonna have to devise some way of hanging the fan without it rattling.

When i first put them on i didnt think they were that bright but its a different sort of coloured light, its almost beyond bright if that makes sense. When there turned on and the bedroom door is open they illuminate the whole stair case lol.

I rekon i will be able to have a test run early next week :). Ill test a bucket tomorrow see how it looks. I just hope i can sort this fan out. My eyes are killing me, its like there burning from the inside out.

Just thinking about this fan mate, i could attatch it directly to the flange, well it fits inside the flange but would this make it vibrate to fuck?

What do you think of these mate? Do EC and PH plus there a 5 year guarantee so they must be confident they work well. I take it i would just need one?http://www.greenshorticulture.co.uk/Plant-Nutrition-90/Nutrient-Management-397/Bluelab-Combo-Meter-1111.asp

Thats Hammerhead pk stuff is not available anymore so can i use the canna pk stuff?
Click to expand...
Yeah just the one :)...That item is quite pricey though, you should be able to get summink simerlar for around £70-£80, Its up to you though man! Research the make/model of them and only then if your completly happy..go n purchase it :)

E-Bay has some HammerHead 9/18 here's a LINK :- http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/HammerHead-PK-9-18-1-Liter-/380207777378?pt=Fertilizer_Soil_Amendments&hash=item5886264662#ht_831wt_905

You should still be able to get hold of it straight from Advanced Nutrients site. It way better than canna's 13/14

Canna's PK is/was meant for outdoor soil grow's....But since we're in Hydro and inside.... The Hammerhead is much better suited to Hydro and offers huge benifit when things like weight and quality are concerned :)

Hammerhead on Advanced Nutients site :- https://www.advancednutrients.com/catalog/ca/product_info.php?products_id=61&categories_id=24

... Canna's PK will work but sometimes airy buds are a result... There are some nuits you can get on top to fix this but be warned they're expensive... Look out for ROX I bought 1L for £105.99 the stuffs shit hot but so so expensive, But as the name implies it hardens and compacts the growing buds.. I use it as well as the HammerHead n my buds come out at Amsterdam standard :)

I'll post a LINK to the ROX :) :- http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ROX-FLOWER-ENHANCER-/160396888032?pt=UK_HomeGarden_Garden_PlantsSeedsBulbs_JN&hash=item25586647e0#ht_743wt_

That ones not priced too bad at just over £70 inc postage

Hope that helps - STELTHY :leaf:

Yeah it would vibrate and the noise would be irritating.. Use a tiny length of uninsulated ducting for the join and stick with the bungee cords etc... its tried n tested and allows the in-line fan to function nice and quietly :) - STELTHY :leaf:

That ebay link nis from america mate so there would be a long wait plus id probably have to pay duty and tax on it. Ill do a search later see if i can find a uk supplier who may have some left. Will 2-3ltrs be ok?

That Rox stuff looks good, i may invest in some of that when i get closer to flowering. I will get cha ching too. Im not to fussed about bud candy, id like to see how they taste without it first i think.

As for that ph/ec meter i know they are expensive but i like the fact there is a 5 year guarantee with it and they do say its top of the range so although im nearly broke lol im thinking i should get it.

How much of this superthrive stuff do i need mate, the place i use for my nuites etc has 450ml bottles for just over 30 quid. Would that be enough?
