New Grower Jean-O's Root Beer Float

[Carve]

Voodoo was a resounding success, so I wanted to keep some @Jean-O s Genetics going. I got a pack of Root Beer Float as a freebie and want to see if I can get that flavor into our rotation.

I'm growing one more or less the same way I grew voodoo--in a 1gal pot of coco using megacrop nutrients.

Things are a little weirder with the other two.

Kittyponics:

This is a crude DIY Dutch Bucket set up made with kitty litter containers. It recirculates with a gravity drain. These are in a 2x4 tent with 300 total watts of lighting.

I should add that the kittyponics pair are being fed the Mills nutrient line

Right on! I'll tag along!

If the terps hold the rootbeer float profile this sounds tasty. Hmm I've got plenty of kitty litter buckets wonder what I could
throw together.

If you want to know what parts I've got in this system just let me know, it was pretty simple and cheap.

Please do tell, even if it is only for prosperity

The girls are hanging in there. The game right now is just keeping them happy until they get their root systems established. I expect them to take off in a couple of weeks.

As far as the parts I used, here are the important bits:

The rest was just a 2" pvc pipe for the drain and little elbows for bulkhead to drain, etc. Also the pump is on a nearpow digital cycle timer.

Very smart setup you've got there
There's an initial cost, but I think you'll enjoy that many harvests to come.
I've got a tip for you. Order yourself a bottle of hydrogen peroxide and flush your tubing after each grow, that way you'll (almost) never will get plugged tubing or drippers.
