My Water Culture

ok cooling system is almost online. I can’t wait for first light!! Had to get more odds and sods parts from the store. chain and quick links. Got the fan screwed to the ceiling and the filter chained up to the lags. Tonight I’ll marry the tubes and the filter. Tomorrow the fan and the tubes. Then it’s off to the races! I’ll take some photos of it again soon as it’s complete. It’s the details of life that eat up so much fucking time, jeeze!


grow my pretties! I think today is the final chapter before bloom starts again, wheeee! This CBG plant will be blooming under the LEDs, I did a better job with it than the secret auto outside.

Mad Lab is back online. All I have to do is tuck tape the edges to prevent insulation escape.

do you find that real heavy insulated ducting helps keep the heat down? enough to justify the insulated ducting?

ok!! The final chapter has been written. I went back in there and cleaned the floor all nice vacuumed all crap up. Taped the joints. Phew! Tossed out the garbage. Put away the tools. lol! It’s ready to go! Tonight I am going to wheel the first plants into the room and I’ll be off to the races.

no clue, I actually got it to help reduce any noises from the ducting. It was actually a huge pain in the ass to deal with! No vibrations though, so we’ll see if it pays off. It should also help with the heat reduction, so that’ll be an added bonus.

Not sure how I never found this yet, but I’m definitely in for this thread. An absolute wealth of knowledge in here for anyone, especially those utilizing DWC/RDWC

What I would give to have something like that almost empty right now, Moms, I love em and hate em. They need so much dedication of space and it seems like I’m always at a bare minimum even with an off site mom room. :man_facepalming:t2:

yah I always clone the crop before it goes into bloom, and don’t keep moms. The big bud plant I left behind will be a mother plant though. I might even toss it out after I’m done with it, who knows.

Things are regenerating! Today I am going to make the hash and start bloom on the meat breath. Next stage… making lots of clones.

awwww yah! I think everyone I know has stopped by now to look at the new milestones. Rosin press, check! Crazy cooling system, check!
Batman looked at it and he says woah nice system, how long did it take to install?
About a week. There was the design, purchase of components, setup, finishing touches, and cleanup.

Complete examination of all components and assembly! I think that’s the sole reason people come to gawk. Honestly I’m still getting used to the whole thing myself. It’s like… freaky!
All my friends who aren’t part of the LP scene have never even seen a rosin press. They’ll all get to see it in action eventually. I’ll hear back from the sponsor group on that rosin I dropped off. Can’t wait! Ahh it’s a medical cannabis growers life for me, I couldn’t even imagine what it would be like to run out of weed.

Haha, I’m almost out of flower. Good thing all I smoke is hash/rosin. :grin:

shit, even running out of flowers is a bad bad sign. I mean, for me. With that in mind, I moved over another 4 plants! Meat Breath! I only have 9 plants in veg now. I’m going to push the other plants into the direct light, so they can grow better.
