Glad to hear it buddy, i am excited about all the strains. I have never smoked anything i could definatly say was white widow so i can't wait. But all the strains are top of the line shit, and i am already getting excited to compare them all.

I cut the lights back a little from 18 to 16 hours. A few reasons i did it a little early; since 2 of the three lights are runing HPS, cause they have to be ready to chop by the first week of august, and because i want to transition them into flower smoothly.

ill keep you posted as to how the setup is runnin soon enough, and i still need to get another res for the CO2. The one i had seems to have gotten a hole in it some how.

keep it green!

Re: Smiling Garden's - 1800W, 11 Strains, Ebb and Grow/DWC

so, i guess there might be a little shock. but nothing i can really notice.

I checked the bottom of the net cups and some root tips are popping out already.

The plants are still growing great, but i think is see the first sign of nute burn. Uped it a little much for the last week of veg so i diluted it a bit and i think they will fine.

hope to get some picks up soon when they recover. I also need to get those soil girls outside soon.

Hiya Smiling Gardens. Just wanted to sub to your journal.

I'm really curious about your system. I am putting together a Flo n Gro system right now (similar to Ebb n Grow). I just bought the expansion kit and controller, and I'm going to use my own pumps and reservoir. I chose it in part as it uses 4 gallon buckets and 3 gallon inserts. Your system looks fantastic -

Do you have air-stones in each bucket - or are you getting a pretty good "complete" drain from the buckets? I see that you have air-stones in your res (res outside room). I'm going to do the same thing. I can't remember - what are you using for a reservoir? I'm thinking of finding a 30 gallon water barrel, otherwise might just get creative. Everything I've done up 'til now has been DWC, so this is new to me a bit.

Plants look great my friend!

Re: Smiling Garden's - 1800W, 11 Strains, Ebb and Grow/DWC

Yeah i made my system from 3.5 gallon buckets with 10" net cup insterts. i made the controler using a kit i got at aquahub.com, i think it was $100 bucks and has worked great for the last year.
I just added some air stones in each bucket so i can flood them a lot without worying about overwatering. It is prety sweet the plants love it, and the res temps don't have to be that low.
I have a 64 gallon trash can the i got from lowes that i use for my res and it also has 4 air stones in it. I just picked up the 60 gallon black barells for my CO2 gen and they are nice. got them for like 20 bucks a piece on craigslist.

Its going good so far, good luck with your set up. let me know if i can help.
