So this is my 2nd run in my user built hydro system. I tried one run in Pro mix before deciding to change over to hydro. So 3rd run in total. Deciding to change over to hydro was the best decision I've made.
So here they are at the end of there first week under 12/12.
The first pic is of the Critical +, which was started at the same time as the larger NY Sour Diesel in pic #2. Pic #3 is of the 4 NY Sour Diesel. #4 System setup. #5 Some bad ass roots going on. #6 More Diesel. #7 Side shot.
I'm running (2) Lumatek 600 watt switchable ballasts with 600 watt Digilux bulbs in Raptor hoods. I have the hoods hooked up to 6" insulated duct, pulling warm air from the top of the room through the hoods and out a window box via a 6" value line centrifugal fan. This fan runs of a Ranco ETC controller, with a 8' prob that sits up in the canopy. For a rez right now I'm using a 20 gal tote. Manage my PH, TDS and rez temp with a Hanna PH/TDS/Temp continuous read meter. Also pictured is my timer which is a heavy duty outdoor timer.
My flood and drain buckets are run of a CAP timer set to run 30 seconds every 20 minuets. The drains are on the side of the buckets which leaves about 3/4 of an inch of nutrient solution in the buckets.
So lets have it folks, what do think?
