Okay, been one busy mother fucker with various jobs. Well, I've got some spare time, now, so I figured I'd restart the hydro system!
Sterilized the fuck outta everything. This time, no airstones. The top buckets full of hydroton will act as surface area for air diffusion and DO levels with just a straight air hose carefully put into the bottom. This should also make getting my buckets apart for water changes much easier as I don't have the wedge of air tube between buckets grabbing shit and getting in my way!
Got some Pine Kush seeds from the dispensary. Cheap stuff, $3 a gram, seedy, but the seeds look good and the herb was okay. Bet it will be even better under my care!
Each bucket is getting dual outlet air pumps. Four bucket setups total. same lighting rig as before - 18w T8LED each on the wall and door, and a 150w LED overhead for primary veg and flowering (might drop a second 150w in there for flowering, we'll see.)
Seeds are already in a glass of water, waiting to pop. I've got 8 seeds going just in case half don't make it! Don't want to start my grow staggered!
