How much of a pain in the ass is it swapping out buckets with the tall ladies? Seems like a lot of moving things around.

That is so funny you ask that because that was my biggest concern with the buckets. It isn't bad at all, way easier than you would think. When they get really big, or If i gotta tie em up, I have 2 buckets equipped with "Sight tubes" that I use to suck my juice from with my shop vac, and then add new nutes from the top, without moving the plant

The nutrient line I use calls for " gentle circulation, and not airstones" ... so i just cut holes above the air stone and let it do big bubbles.

I gave my homie a cutting of Wowzers and he pulled 8 zips under a 220w quantum board. Shit was fire too...that is when I was like ok let's try this hydro shit out

8 zips under only 220w?! that's insane! Good tips on the changeout process, appreciate that feedback. That's one of the main reasons I've been looking at doing a RDWC type set up (dutch buckets, specifically). Easier to have a central res than n buckets to contend with.

How many tents do you have? How tall are they?

I flower in a few 80" tall tents, and open veg in the other part of the room.

If I were doing more than 2 buckets at a time, I would probably do a central res too. A night of changing individual buckets is a pain in the ass, and I'll never do it again.

I have a space that would be good for a few tents. I just want to go 10 feet tall.

It can be done, the gorilla is the only one i know off the top of my head that does it with an extension, but it's a hefty tag on those tents. I've heard that they're nice tho. Gorilla Grow Tent 2' Extension Kit

@Mohican I also opt for my biggest tent being the 4x8 size, because I run a scrubber in each tent, and the smell is never an issue. IDK how much that is of a concern to you but it seems to work well for my situation.

The sativa girls I grow are tall and do not wreak. I could also just do a bunch of cheap tents and grow as many phenos as I have seeds.

DO THAT! I use whatever is cheapest and they hold up fine. just top out at 80 which isn't so bad for most stuff. Are we gonna get to see you do some indoor this winter there big Mo?

@Mohican here's a flower hall

Yeah, I tapped into the house unit. I just keep my whole house at 73 and it seems to keep us all happy. I don't have a temp/rh gauge though ... I kinda just go by feel and how the plants look. That is a dehu at the end of the hall and the ac line is on the floor on the right side.

 

[Cattapilla]

Hahah, my plants in the tent would love me if I kept my house cooler than 81.

I've grown a real "pop em' if ya got em" mentality lately.
