My root zone is in the 6" PVC....well, most of it anyway and I have the benefit of a cold floor, large footprint rez, and an external pump. After a nute change it takes a while for the chiller to lower the water temps, but once I hit 69 it stays there. Gimme a little credit huh? :-P

Use air temps to shorten internodal distance. No more than 5 degree difference between day and night if you can pull it off. That'll keep em stout.

looking good. what did u do down size. the nft system looks shorter. and where in the hell u been. how did the bigbud grow go

LoudBlunts · Aug 21, 2009

my temps are freaking great. i just let them veg too long. i was letting them goto 12" and flip

they fucked around and hit 12" and it was a friday (i like to flip on a sunday to start the week) and within those few days those bitches hit about 14-16"

flowered them and they exploded

BigBud turned out good. The system is the same size the huge plants just make it look smaller.

I go in to stealth mode mid grow.

Yo man, your plants look great! I have to say I'm jealous of how healthy they look. Sorry to intrude but i gotta ask. With NFT do you have airstones directly under the holes in the PVC? Don't the roots get wicked clogged? I always wondered about this. Thanks!

No, I have (4) 12" airstones in the reservoir connected to 2 pumps. The drain back to the rez is 6" also. Earlier versions had a 6" pvc tube with a 1.5 inch hole back to the rez. When the root mass got big the 1.5" holes stopped up and the water started overflowing out of the netpot holes. You live...you learn I guess. Thanks for the compliments.
