This is the killer. 5-7 gallon pots don't stay full for more than 36 hours. I watered this one 30 hours ago and ran out of time so I left the saucers full which I never do. Today it's dry as a bone. So she drank a full pots worth and an extra gallon from below. I'll try and get her out later for a good picture, can't believe the size!

Bro I'm not going to lie. I just did out loud to myself "dude!!! WTF is he doing?!?!?" Lmao wow man. That is extremely extremely impressive. Max rep!!!!
 
Ok so I guess I'm packing a bowl or two and reading this thread from start to finish. I'm in awe with the CONSISTENT results you are achieving.
Thanks allot discrete. I don't know man just drop some seeds and feed lol. It could be the cobs or the space they have. Training, nutrient manipulation in preflower time. Besides last run I do a fairly consistent 5-8 oz per auto which I wish I could increase as I continue to learn these amazing plants.
 
Go on try your hand at bubble buckets easy to make and not that hard to figure out just do one and see how you go [emoji106]

Amused ourselves to death
I really want to try them man. I actually had my hands on a kit from the local shop last week. Just concerned about water temps though. Running another accessory like a water chiller with an outstanding $700 per month electric bill would drive me crazy. I did consider h2o2 but not positive on its effectiveness

You can use sm90 as a preventative measure 0.5 ml a litre I've just got hold of some hydrogaurd to give that a try insulate your bucket with reflective tape and use sm 90 or hydrogaurd my temps in the summer were in the 80,s in the summer and no root rot make your own bucket dude a 33 ltr black bucket some 13 ml top hat grommets a 13 ml tap 4x4 inch flat airstones and a air pump that puts out a minimum of 20 ltrs a minute I've made my own can post you the list when I get off work really isn't that hard [emoji106]

Man that's great thanks a ton! After 6 months and a dozen grows in still trying to figure my room out. I think the only thing that remains the same is the tile on the floor. I think if I keep a 8 mephisto in the trays I could squeeze in 3 bubble buckets on the floor. Seeing how big they get I might fall in love and do them full time
 
Check me out over in the DIY lighting section. Not only for growing! Man these cobs are bright.
