Okay my new controller keeps flooding now? WTF am I doing wrong? Its assembled to the instructions, a new controller. Why would it keep overflowing? 2 bad controllers? I'm about to go soil again I don't have time for these problems. Shouldn't it be able to flood as long as I want without overflowing?
edit: Update, it works now for some mysterious reason. So moving forward.

I am sure you checked to make sure the hole in the elbow inside the res is not clogged? this would create the siphon effect to overflow your controller bucket.
Are you using the 2 gal ebb and grow kit?

Sounds to me like you got the pump plugs swapped. Glad it's fixed.. not too many people doing the ebb and grows.
Took mine down last night and will post a final total.

Anyone know the maximum lumens per sq ft before bleaching occurs? I'm noticing yellowing which looks like a mg defficency, just not sure if its because of the speed of their metabolism or light bleaching. PPms are at 1080 and ph at 6.5. Running flora nova grow with floralicous plus and cal mag(very light because I havent set the RO up yet). Any ideas, its lights out will take some pics when they come back on?
edit: Its was a mg deficency due to too fast of metabolism. They look perfect again with yesterdays addition of cal mag. I got nervous there for a second cause I passed my other lights on.lol New development this new controller just went out also. Thats two down lets hope this third one holds out. Now I have to run to the store again! Guess I may have to keep running back and forth till I get a controller that can run longer then a week. I heard the float valves had problems but this is getting ridiculous.

Well I have the new controller, my guy at the store pulled off a miracle! Love my local store. So it should be hooked up within the hour. I think I will update every 5 days with photos its been 3 since the last. That way you can really see the difference even though right now they are ridiculous everyday I see them right now but thats due to the flower stretch.

Sorry I have been slacking. So Its day 11..... Almost forgot just turned the co2 on, wasn't running it earlier because I was worried it would add to the stretch as my head room isn't much for 1500w lamps.

So a new plan has come around once this round is over. Next will be 2 bonzai 360's with 4 1.5kw bulbs.
edit: Sorry tank333 the light foot print is about 5"x4" for each light, so thats the sq footage used.

Two of them?!?! They're $4800 each!! You think the increase in available growing space is worth the extra ten grand?
Those are so very cool though!! Way out of my expertise and price range at the moment, but VERY cool nontheless...
It does say that they "reccommend" up to a 1k watt bulb. The 1500 isn't going to be too big for it?

Yeah, it looks like it wont be possible to run 1.5kw so the idea may be out. Right now they are drinking 12-15 galllons of water a day and consuming 400-500 ppm's of nutes. In soil blueberry was a light feeder but man she can eat in the ebb and grow. Here they are day 18......

Well, I wouldn't discount it completely just yet. I would think the only reason they put "up to 1k" is because that a 1k light is the most commonly used light. The 1500 watt light is relatively new, isn't it? If nothing else, it might just be that the plug that's stock isn't rated for that many watts, and it would be a simple matter to replace it with one that works.
I really want to see you do this, so I shot off an email to their store (it was too late to call when I thought about it). Hopefully in the next couple days I'll have an answer as to whether or not you'll be able to use the 1500 watt bulbs in this system.

Well it totally seems doable, the only problem will be light bleaching. The distance from the tip of the plant to the bulb just isn't enough spacing. I will know for sure in the next 2 weeks on exactly how close to the bulb I can get. I know 4 1.5 kw on 2 bonsai 360 still just sounds amazing, we shall see how this all works out. Also the tubes for cooling the bulbs would have to be a minimal of 8in. Now only if they could water cool those tubes I think the bulbs would work effortlessly. Will do another update tonight, they are growing so fast that the difference every 2 days is unbelieveable. This growth should mellow out soon and all energy should be for making dense nuggets. The room doesn't even smell like weed, it smells like a freshly opened package of ceder insence with a very "sour", best I can describe it not the sour diesel aroma. The odors of these plants seems unreal like it really is incense then cannabis.
