Lol'd when I saw the title of the update. Tahoe's lookin' mighty sexy, can't get enough of it. I like Tahoe, it behaves pretty uniquely it seems and it sounds kind of rare and magical in a subdued way being named after that location. A plant with personality, what a cool grow.
Still planning my own cab cannabis cultivating campaign, and I've been thinking about this....Is it plausible to do just plain old DWC as opposed to a spray design (bubbleponics) for 2 or 3 plants in one large reservoir? Or are separate buckets the better idea? Because electricity costs are going to be a big factor in maintaining stealth for me and cutting costs is always good, so not getting a water pump for a spray system would save me there (also isn't a submersible water pump noisy and doesn't it raise your res. temp.?), but is it worth it to cut that cost for one large reservoir? One reservoir would mean you only have one to maintain and change and PPM and PH would be more easily balanced in a larger body of solution right? Also, wouldn't a cooler serve as a reservoir better than a tote, being insulated and having UV blocking designs and even anti-microbial linings and drains? I suppose it doesn't matter in your system though with the external res and chiller, which I don't think I can swing for the record. You say your bill is pretty high with this setup, yeah? Mine will probably turn out a lesser edition of yours, unfortunately, but hopefully that won't restrict good growing too much.
Thanks for reading, rock on with your bad selves!
