Lighting Wile-E-Peyote (mis)adventures with Amare LED SS 150x2/ SE250(Autopots and Bubble Buckets)

oh upgrades do tell or is it secret
I'm only using 2 lights at the minute after they have finished there stretch if I don't need to add another light should be ready for the off 
Wile my man, looking great in here bro! Quick question about the pots....reading on the site awhile back I believe they recommended to empty the res/ or fill the res when it's down to 1/3 full. Basically said don't let the res get below 1/3 full....how are u doing your changes or refills? I'm sure it's been discussed but...lol I know u do it every 7-10 days...but do u throw away what's left or just add to it? I wanted to buy a single auto pot to test them out, I'm not liking having four hooked together because I grow a bunch of different strains at once that may require different feeds and I start my beans at random when a space opens up lol

Just the basics mate- not really happy with the current white widow grow. So more airflow and maybe a better reflector if i get a chance to pass by the grow shop. Trying not to spend anymore on gadgets!

Hey up dude the first time I filled my res I used 20 ltrs way to much so when I refilled it I just drained it to the little filter in the res then refilled it and made sure there were no air locks in the line about the autopot set up I just bought the two pot system with res and added another pot might add another yet undecided [emoji106]

I never followed that recommendation, I let my res drain all the way down... As long as you have it elevated high enough (12"+) it will drain down to almost empty... No point wasting that much nutes
Exactly what I was worried about Hans! That's good news to hear man! That was a huge worry of mine. Thanks for the reply man, much appreciated!I never followed that recommendation, I let my res drain all the way down...

Yeah I always try to fill up my res just enough to last 5-6 days ideally (starting at 15L and gradually going up from there). This keeps the res fresh and pH stable and allows for more frequent feeding adjustments. Going much more than a week can lead to the valves getting clogged (which I've had a few times now
).

blue cheese day 31 topped up the res today (it was nearly empty) the feed is 0.5 ml liquid silica,0.5 ml cal mag,1.75 Advanced N grow A+B (each) and 1 ml big bud coco per ltr of water I usually wait till they are about a week into flowering before giving big bud thought I would see what happens if I give it a week earlier as predicted flowering has begun
they are starting to get into gear now love this part you can literally see them growing every day
plenty of bud sites on these two
now the smaller girl she may be a different pheno as she is a bit shorter and bushier than the other 2 only time will tell
going to get in the tent tomorrow and do a bit of leaf pulling and some minor lst to pull down the main cola of the smaller girl I have already done the bigger girls (after the photos) well that's all from me hope everyone has a great loooooong weekend (well in the uk anyway)
