50L should be plenty for 6 buckets.

I have 2 Danner Pondmaster AP-100, they are 150L 6.53psi 108watts. I bought them from Ebay for $150 a piece, free shipping. The Dolphin manifolds were $20 each. They have no problem running 18 buckets a piece I have yet to test them on 36 though. The pumps come from the factory with a 33 port manifold, so I would suspect they shouldn't have no problem running 36 buckets.

I used the black tape because I wasnt sure if the white was light proof.... My water temps range anywhere from 70º at night up too 74º with the lights on... The floor of my room stays at a constant 68º because the room is setup in my basement. No problems so far. Wish me the best.

best advice i can give u is get those lights alot closer 12" roughly is good otherwise you loose too many lumens and plants will stretch alot!

you want them as close as u can get them! basically put u hand where the top of the plant is if you can handle the heat its good if its too hot lift a bit until its comfortable.

I hear you on that. I ran my soil plants like that with the light 6-8" away from the tops, just trying some new things out right now, its all experimental for me. Anywho, heres some updated pics

Not an update for my grow but my friends grow room caught on fire today. It burnt his whole house down. He WAS battling spider mites, so I had to make the joke "Thats one way to get rid of em". Gave him a giggle after loosing everything he owned.

EVERYONE BE SAFE!

Nice looking grow. I have to agree with the other poster who said to lowere the lights. I saw a chart that showed optimum distance for lights based on wattage. I'd try to find it but I'm limited to my phone for internet access right now.

they look great mate.

what ppm are u running?

hard to tell by the pics they are either lacking in nitrogen or have been a bit nute burnt.

and only 17days flower you still have at least another week of rapid growth before they even consider slowing down hehe

Update:

Permafrost 22 days into flower, trying to get the fert burn under control, I just love seeing them grow and they take so much water I think they need more and more, lol. I'll learn one day.

I just received my seeds in the mail. Going to be doing bubblelicious and chrystal. Both are Nirvana seeds. I really wanted to do some blueberry, but the ones I wanted from dutch passion were sold out.
