Mephisto Genetics "White and Bubbly" DWC Grow

[Tetra9]

Sumptious...... Springs to mind beautiful plant beautifully grown.

You make me wanna do the ducting jobbie needed for the temperature control necessary to do a DWC grow..... I believe a rendezvous with a large oxypotvor some such is imminent........

I would love to see you do that Corgy ! I am forever a DWC grower now, mainly because of the ability to dial in so many of the variables. I'm either going to invest in a recirculating system with a chiller, or go Grey Bear style and use thick styrofoam coolers. There's a beef vendor called Omaha Steaks that has huge 15 gallon coolers that are 6 inches thick.

When you get a chance how wide is she now?

You might be able to join that 1lb club with the way this baby is going. Maybe upgrade to a large rubbermaid tote? More room for root growth

truly massive plant!

I can't get an exact measurement, my fabric tape only goes to 6 feet.
Taking measurements myself, I estimate it to be 8 ft around at it's widest point.
I still can't believe how much water it takes up everyday.
I feel like I am walking in a Pine Tree or something when I move it. LOL.... Can't see anything !

I dont know how hard it would be, but Id consider moving up to a 20gal tote if its feasible. Rubbermaid soft plastic ones dont work well, look for the stackable rigid plastic ones, roughneck I think might be a brand around here, sometimes they have yellow lids.... something like this: http://www.walmart.com/ip/21119244?...43919872&wl4=&wl5=pla&wl6=78307744232&veh=sem

Im wondering what would happen if you put one of these under her on high speed, http://www.amazon.com/Trokia-Sun-Tracker-Plant-Carousel/dp/B004Z0LT24
Keeping the HPS overhead and blasting the side with your mars, kinda at a corner angling down. Constantly moving the plant should provide wicked penetration, with much less dark spots inside! Maybe there is a better plant mover or a way to modify it to do it more frequently, 2 revolutions / week probably wouldnt be the best. Im thinking 2 / day would be better!
