Looks great. How's the smell? Have you been picking lower bud spots ? Check out my first grow. https://forum.grasscity.com/index.p...x6'-tent+-Newbie=what-could-go-wrong?.1420015. Sent from my magical device that provide bud pictures and hot girls
The blueberry is so strong in there you wouldn't even know there's diesel in the tent. It smells soooooo good though! Haven't picked anything off the plants I usually just chop the whole plant when it's time. Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum
The blueberry is fattening up nicely and I'm getting some mild foxtailing, I don't mind it at all though. I've also finally built my DIY under current system with 5.3 gallon black buckets. I'll post pics and a tutorial here soon with links to most of the parts. Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum

High-Strength 90 Spray Adhesive-90-24 - The Home Depot Instructions I’m not going to address drilling holes into the buckets for the bulkheads, that’s what the 3in hole saw is for. Make sure you look at the pics to get things right!!! You need 4 pieces of PVC pipe all the same length, these will be the parts that go between the Tees. You’ll need 4 pieces of PVC pipe that are 3in in length, these will be the parts that go into the bulkheads at one end and into the elbows at the other. You need 2 pieces of PVC pipe the same length, these are the last 2 pieces that space the buckets. If you’re running more than a 4 bucket system then you need 2 extra pieces of equal length pipe for every 2 additional buckets and you need 2 bulkheads per bucket. If you run a 4 bucket system you need a total of 9 bulkheads and for a 6 bucket system you 13 bulkheads in total. For every extra bucket above a 4 plant setup you need 2 extra bulkheads. Wrap all male threads with thread sealant tape and attach in the order you see in the above pic. This is the part that attaches to the last 2 bucket in the system. The 1in hose will connect to the barbed end and to the inline water pump. Use the 1/2in drill bit to make the hole in the control bucket for the 1/2in barbed male thread coupler. Once you have everything measured and cut it's time to assemble the system. The one wild card is how long the pipe coming from the control bucket going to the front Tee will be. That's something you'll have to figure out yourself. If your control bucket won't be sitting straight in front of your system then you will need and extra 2in elbow. Please look at the pics to see what goes where and if you have any questions just ask. If you do plan on using insulation on the buckets make sure you cut the holes for the bulkheads first and then use the contact glue to attach the insulation then use a razor to cut holes in the insulation for the bulkheads. After everything is assembled use the silicon to seal every PVC connection point and around the bulkheads. This allows you to be able to disassemble for expansion and cleaning. You can see how much money you save building your own under current. I though about spending $950 for the 4 bucket setup but I couldn't justify it when I could do it myself for a fraction of the cost. Enjoy!
Start of week 8. I took a close look at the diesel and I don't believe that I'll let it go 14 weeks, has a decent amount of amber trichs already probably cut it down at 12. The blueberry is fading out as expected since I've cut nitrogen out. 21 days left on those and flush starts next Sun.
Plan on ordering a COB light setup here soon. Better all the way around especially in the summer. This is the one I plan on getting. If things go good with this one I'll order more. Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum
The blueberry is so dense! I have a feeling that I'm going to be very happy with the final weight from them. Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum
hats off to you sir, that blueberry looks cup worthy not even joking when i say this those fat calyxes def give me a semi hahahaha! enjoy the harvest
These step by step instructions are great. This setup is recirculating DWC correct? I'm learning a lot here ty! BTW the flowers look delicious! Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum
Yup, it's an under current which recirculates the water. The only difference is that those are 2in pipes which will be hard to clog. Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum
I wish I could take a pic of the smell! The pics look good but they don't do it justice seeing it in person. Needles to say I'm very impressed with it. Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum
Wow Mike, Nice tutorial, is that system in use at the moment or will it be used for the next crop? flowers are looking fantastic. Keep up the good work and detailed grow journal.
I built that for my next run and I'll be setting up the system I have now at a friends house once he moves. I think I'll build one more of those but with 6 buckets in a 5ft x 5ft area with that COB light system I'll be buying. Also I'm going to switch to a one part powder nutrient to save on the headache of mixing a bunch of liquids. Can't wait till harvest time rolls around Thanks for the compliments friend!

So I took my front blueberry plant out the tent so I could get to the one in the back to remove some leaves and check on things. The back blueberry could be harvested right now and the same goes for the diesel that's in the front. The back diesel is almost there. I decided to start flushing today cause I don't wanna wait too long and miss that perfect time. The back diesel has some really big colas on it compared to everything else in there. Overall I've been slowly removing leaves on all plants to get more light to more parts and because it's almost time. Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum
I've been watching the blueberry plants closely and I see that they have a decent amount of amber trichs so they've been harvested. The back plant had faded and the leaves were dying on it so it really had to get cut. They've both been trimmed and are now in the drying rack. The diesel is being flushed now. The front one started fading out on it's own about 2 weeks ago and that's with it being on a regular feed schedule for flower. I'll give some numbers on what I get from each plant as they dry.

Got the final weight on three plants for ya folks. Back right Blueberry yielded 112 grams, the front right Blueberry yielded 147.9 grams and the front left Sour Diesel yielded 225.3 grams. Total weight for the three plants 485.2 grams/17.11oz or 1.07lbs. The dry stuff is in the CVaults starting the cure. I still have the last Diesel flushing. I'm thinking I'll get about 4oz from it, but it's always hard to tell what you'll get from a plant that's not done. Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum
Forgot to say that I would have yielded more if I would have removed a lot of the leaves that were shading sites. I feel I could have gotten about 2oz more from the two biggest plants and around an extra oz. or so from the smaller plant. I won't be lazy on this next grow that's for sure! I think I'll bring the CO2 tank back out for it. Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum
