    Ok well, I been bangin the under current drum for a few months now...but I have to try this out for a run or two first! I was at the shop ready to pull the trigger a few weeks ago on the UC system.....but while talking to the UC rep about the system, he basically lead me to understand that without the firepower, meaning 1k per plant, that I wasn't going to be happy with my money spent on the full cadillac UC system.....mind you I fully expect atleast a pound per plant....so i'll wait till winter to get the UC
    SO........I went out and got 1...1k so far.....I need 3 more now......Im trying to get rid of my 3, 600 watters so as they go, I will get a new 1k......but until then lets see how this system works out

    Its a pretty basic system, jus looks like a lot of parts....and it is but not at all complicated, the only issue im having is controlling the PH

    No more perpetual for me anymore.......its single cycles these days, now its off to automated land.....one massive ressy feeding a controller tub....topping off the 5 gal buckets 24/7..............

    It was partially inspired by an ol friend.......:beerchug-2: :dog-nana:



    There is a 5inch round air puck in each bucket, ressy and control tub.......the system top feeds, like a waterfall, for a great solution mix......so we get a great DO, dissolved oxygen, a very stable solution and hopefully GREAT results! Also, there is 3, 600 HPS and 1 400MH and 1 400CMH = 2600watts of mixed spectrum.....I cant wait for them 1ks so I can hang em and get rid of my radiators!!

    Kick ass Chris!


    I'm looking to upgrade and possibly market a simple, reliable, automated, productive system to local dispensaries.:idea:


    Whats the name of this system?


    I was looking into the UC systems and I'm totally sold. It's not a problem to put a couple 1000 watters over each row. I was looking at the smaller system that you posted info about. It was a two 1000 watt array, if I remember correctly.


    If I could find "The System", I know i could make ALOT of :$ $$: maintaining them and selling them. Not to mention the production in my own garden. ;)


    Can you enlighten me more about this system?

    Check out this link that SteelCity threw up a few days ago


    As for the UC system, its the best thing on the market, hands down! Rocky, call up the rep, I think his name is TIM....the website is merely a guideline for the most part.....there are ways to MAX out your yield with how well you can grow.....thats where a good convo with that guy will do you good......but for the best possible results.....1k per plant is where its at.......I've seen 3-4 pounders with a 1k per plant setup

    Ask away anyone, I'll do my best to answer correctly


    Juggalo.....I want to try and get them around 14-20 inch tall for this round, Iwant to keep them smaller for this round only just to get my feet wet and make sure things are going to work, if not, then the UC is the next move


    Thanks for the love

    Hey CC -


    first of all, dont ditch your 600's. Scope out the Krusty Freedom Bucket thread. Hang a 1kw's in the middle, and 600's on the corners and sides.


    Also, you're going to need to ditch those reflectors. Vertical bare bulbs.


    You will only get 4 plants in a KFB or UC system in the area you are using in the pic.


    Hit me up when you are setting this up.


    Cheers
