maybe i can run a line and put a
Ja ja ja, Water is dumb and Gravity is your friend !
Get one lower than the other, and any two buckets connected -will fill the other.


I truly hope this is the ugliest pce. of plumbing you see today.

I can conquer the world with that thing. Top line is pressurized (passive OR assisted ) , black is inlet. White valve throttles output and diverts.
Bottoms are passive. Standpipes in buckets, determine depth.
I don’t even know what to call it - but it solves all flow problems.
huh,
Golly
It’s a tampon

I downloaded it.
2 inches below the panels full power was 155,000lux
20 inches below was 40,000.
Thats a big differance, but doesnt jive with experience from last grow.
At 30 inches i got 11,000 lux, at 30 inches i was still getting leave curl last round. Of course i had 4 panels over a 3x6 on a mover.
I need to fire up my other panels and compare those too i guess.
Hey @Skunky Dunk Farms i have never thought much about a light meter but i did download the app @Fr3nzy recomended (very cool). Looks like the majority of my canopy is setting a little over 30,000 lux at around 20". I do not have the drivers all the way up but fairly close. How does that reading sound and can you recommend a good source or chart for the correct amount of lux at the canopy. I am working with a new light and flower room and my temps are already around 85 at the canopy so not crazy about cranking them up further.

This is what ive been told is a starting point,
5K lux for clones, 10k for seedlings, 20k to 60k for veg and 30k to 70k for flowering.
Im playing with this app to just get a generalisation of intensity.

Okay thanks i will play with it some more tomorrow and see if i can get my numbers up some. The bud formation seems to be on par at 4 weeks. Sure is hard getting a new space dialed in :rolleyes:

Everything is looking good this fine day.
All perky and reaching for the sky!
The first single leaves on a couple are showing a little yellowing from 16 days in a solo cup with no nutes added.
All in all very pleased.
This is the point that the "Looks" are coming out, the kush's fat leaves, the mex haze's long slinder blades.
I think we are going to enjoy this round a little more than usual because of the variety. I guess single strain grows are kind of boring.
