Yes thats the beast! Its a big ass light. It bent like 4 tent poles. Befor i said F,it and cut hole in the tent ceiling and added 150lb rated eye hooks to the ceiling joists and then its secure. And i have it connected to 75lb rated heavy duty ratchets. So 2 ratches at 75lbs each and the eye hooks i can rest assured it wont fall down!

Ok i got the hydro system up and running. I transplanted all the clones and moved some plants because the plants were hitting the lights and burning! Im always like a week or 2 ahead of myself on growth.
Ill hook up the chiller tomorrow. I literally just have to attach a filer with a zip tie to chiller output tube and plug it in. Its already set up in the resivior and ready to rock! I really like this hydro set up.

Ok the hydro system is FULL speed ahead!
Lots of new roots peeking out of the net pots. But the last plant in the picks is the one i thinks going to be most awesome of the 4 plants.
Oh and i got the chiller running at 71° air temps at 81 struggling to keep it below that.

Holyyy shit. So i damn near electrocuted myself!!
I was doing some ph and ppm measurements and my whole sysyem was all outta whack? Firstvthing was i notice a leaf looking weird which lead to me getting into the resivoir and testing stuff.
My ph was 7.1? PPms wer like 700 and the water was at 88!!! 
that led me to the chiller. I see were good at 71° but my blue lab tester just told me it was 88 holy shit.
I turned down the chiller and watched it and magic it almost instantly changed the temps and i said oh BS. 17 gallons of water instantly chilled? Well i start grabbing the hose on the pump return and dont see anything strange but no water is flowing. I start messing with pump power cord and it is plugged in. I unplugged it and plugged it in again and this is what i discovered.
Man i just had my hand all around it. But i have the pump water lines ziptied to the resivoir. So i usually grab the tubes and pull the pump out of the resivoir holding the tubes. So i didnt get zapped. I found this pump at lowes. I checked all the petstores and walmart and homedepot was out any small pumps. And i needed it like Right now!
I only need to chill 17 gallons to keep this system running. I noticed today im getting some condensation on the pump chiller line and its dripping. Som im looking for some tube insulation ideas. I was supposed to bubble wrap the buckets last time and i didnt do that.

Ppms are a little high. But growing good. The back left plant decided to stretch into the light. But we have lots of room to raise the light up more.

Holy crap i had to raise the light 6" more because the plant in the back hit the light again today! Shit i can only raise the light like 12" if it doesnt stop stretching soon. Im soooo glad i didnt veg these a full week more like i was planning to.

Ok late on the updates. I harvested 2 plants got 2 more to go. This one plants got massive buds!.
Man the hydro is still kicking my ass! Hard to keep the plants from getting a little leaf burn. Im going to maybe try some C02 and i have a guardian Ph monitor and just waiting on a new probe for it. And next hydro run its getting implemented into the system.
