SHOWTIME! Man what an awesome grow u got going there! Your plants make me jealous, hopefully one day my garden will be bountiful like yours. Got 2 questions hope u don't mind me asking. What kind of air pump are you running to supply all your buckets? And how many beautiful ladies do u have crammed into that nice flower chamber? Looking dope man, Keep it green!


Peace!

Thanks for all the great comments guys. And kotton mouthe there are 8 plants in the flower room. As soon as 2 more clones are ready they will go into the veg room next to the other 2 and from then on there will always be 8 in the flower room and 4 in the veg room for a perpetual harvest, about 2 plants every 2 weeks varying by strain finishing times. After these first few harvests i will try to put in pairs of the same strain that way they will finish at the same time. As far as the pumps i have 2 of the biggest pumps that pet co sells, i think the 4000 model, they run 4 buckets easy. Those run the flower room and i have 2 of the second smallest ones they sell and they will run 3 buckets but they only need to run 2 a piece in the veg room. Thieve all been acquired over time or els i probably would have got one of the big ones that will run a lot of buckets out of one unit.

Nice grow there Showtime, how often do you change the nutes in the buckets? and how much water do you use per bucket? im interested in this method of growing and am looking for some info!
Thanks

Thanks ke43210, I change the water/nutes once a week, once every 2 weeks when they are small and not drinking much. And I use 4 gallons per bucket. I love this setup for what i do. At first I wanted to do a ebb and grow type of setup but with a perpetual harvest i need to have a bunch of different plants at different stages of growth which need different nute mixes so the buckets cant all be plumed together. Also i don't need a bunch of parts and pumps with this setup so it works out good for me.

Good info man, thanks for looking out for me and answering my questions. I got one more for now good buddy, What is the size of your flowering room, don't remember if you told us earlier in the grow or not, trying to design my new grow space and wondering exactly how big i will need to make my flower chamber of the room. Ok so fibbed when I said just one question, another is you said your flower room was full to capacity, what kind of harvest are u thinking u will be receiving with the light and space you have, I know u are doing a perpetual grow, thanks for the info in advance man!

The whole room is approx 10x10 so the flower room is about 5x10 but like i said its pretty tight in there with those monster plants. If i was growing smaller plants it would be great but if i had a choice i would probably make it a little bigger for working room. As far as what I'm expecting i really don't have to much of an idea. I was hoping for about 3 to 4 Zs per plant but i think those OCs will do more than that, there pretty beastly. So we'll see.

Just when I think everything is going swell i get a curve ball. About a week ago we had a big wind storm that blew down a bunch of power lines. It took 5 days for them to get the power back on. 5 days!!!! 5 days with no light no ventilation no aeration for the nutes/water. I bet they would have got it fixed faster if it were their house without power. Anyway things are back on track and as of now they are alive and looking ok. My biggest fear was that they'd hermie with all the weird light hours but no sign of that so far If anybody would like to rise any other issues i might face feel free. Here are some pics the night the power came back on, they look pretty shitty but not bad considering the situation.

 

[ke43210]

Hey there Showtime, really glad to see that the plants bounced back, yea i was really worried last week, but no power loss at our place, were south of G.R., all the tornado warnings and the Wind was not a fun time..

Well they sure are looking good

Man, sucks about the stress the plants may have gone through. They sure look like winners to me. Great grow so far IMHO!
