That's the kit! ...but that posting appears to be trying to charge you over $100 for shipping...?? ...that's kinda scary...oh wait, that's for shipping to Canada..lol. Are you in the US? I think the ones I've been buying here (in Canada) are about $100 plus shipping and tax...ends up being about $150 cdn I think, and this one isn't that complete kit'n'kabootle:

Thanks man! Things are looking up!
..agreed - still trying to figure out what I'mm going to do to support the outside branches once the heavy buds start filling in...but we'll see, I've been to this rodeo before and have some tricks up my sleeves..lol. At least they don't appear to be stretching much (yet)...still lots of time though, and the LST has spread the BMD out enough that there will be plenty of 'top buds'...You're gonna need kickstands for some of those limbs before it's over
That's actually an HPS light - and I use the same lights (both 600w HPS) through-out the grow. (I used a 400w MH conversion bulb on my TD grow from start to finish)

...some notes:
- Started with some AN Big Bud in today's watering. Added ~10ml to the add-back bucket - will increase this to ~15ml per bucket during the next 2-3 weeks.
- Bud-sites are looking more prominent today on all 3 plants...the next picture update on Friday will show this fairly clearly.
- Picture updates going forward will be on Fridays and Tuesdays, unless there is significant changes that justify doing more updates between times...

I gotta get one of these. Do you ever have to clean or unclog anything? How often do you change the reservoir? What is the hardest part about them?

Your pics don’t have the orange glow like most.your camera does a good job. Mine are quite orange.

Some people change out the res once a week or so, but I only ever change it out about two (maybe three) times throughout my grow. If the ppms get out of control I'll drain the res and replace it with a fresh nute mix. You can put an air-stone in the res to prevent clogs and get more oxygen into the water, but I haven't seen enough of a difference from doing that so far. Using a thick-liquid nutrient like GH Flora Nova will be the most likely to cause clogs during your grow - that, or algae buildup, or roots getting in the way... The drip ring can sometimes get clogged a bit, but it's easy enough to remove, clean, and replace at any time. As for the hardest part about them, I would have to say starting the seed in the hydroton. It can be tricky to suspend the germinated seed properly and get it's tap root started. That's why you see the tin-foil on the tops there at the start. I've found that the roots grow towards the light if you're not careful, so the tin-foil prevents that when you want it to be diving down through to the reservoir as quickly as possible.
Thanks! I actually bought a pair of those HPS sunglasses for grow rooms (paid $30 for them at Incredigrow). I just put my smartphone camera up to the glasses lens to get the clear pics..works great! Mine look like this: https://vivosun.com/products/hps-grow-room-glasses-with-glasses-case

Okay, here's my Friday picture update - things are looking really great! Got some nice pictures tonight, with some decent close-ups. Tonight marks the end of week 2 of flower, so I'm expecting quite alot of changes here in the next few weeks. Just started added Big Bud to my reservoirs as well...got some expectations to meet!
Enjoy!!!!!

Wow, thanks King! I see they ship to Canada as well...gonna find out how much they charge for shipping via USPS and see if its worth it for me (here in Calgary, AB Canada) to order from there despite the difference in Cdn dollar....
Thanks! Yeah its looking great - nice and green. My first two weeks of flower didn't have as much stretching as I thought - but once thes buds start fillilng out more there will still be some added height. I didn't super-crop them (yet), but may still do that as things thicken.
(EDIT: I noticed that my previous post was mislabeled there...the second group of pics are the White Russian - not White Widow..lol. It doesn't let you edit your posts after a certain amount of time..)
