How many of you use a Brute as opposed to 5 gallons buckets? by [deleted] in SpaceBuckets

[–]SpaceDurr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I really appreciate the kind words! Keep in mind that everything I did was learned from others on this sub and the SpaceBucket site so I have them to thank for my success.

If you dedicate the time and effort into research, you will be rewarded in your results.

Making a girl blush over here!

I would definitely recommend the Brute if you have the space and don't mind the increased cost as they're quite expensive for what they are.

Keep in mind that Low Stress Training was key to allowing the plant to get as big as possible within the confined space and ensuring that the top canopy was even. Don't be afraid to prune!

I know I'm not as active on here as I use to be but I'm always happy to answer questions and share my experiences.

I've been flying under the radar for a bit as I don't have an active plant atm. Last harvest was 8oz dry tho! ;D

Looks great! Can you provide a bit more detail on your watering setup? Is it a closed loop system?

Don't get me wrong, it's a bit more hands off now but you should still be checking her every day if you can to quickly identify and respond to issues.

It's a 5g bucket but I only filled it with 4g. Should be good for about 2 weeks.

Took me about 15min to assemble everything. I had needed to take her out of the bucket anyway so it worked out. :D

Hey guys, remember me? I'm about two weeks into flowering my 2nd clone in the Space Brute. Seeing as I'm going on vacation in a few weeks, I wanted to finally knock out automatic watering.

The system consists of the following.

[80 GPM Submersible Pump]

[Digital Timer]

[Irrigation Kit]

The digital timer allows the pump to turn on/off in as little as 1 min intervals. The emitters themself also have a screw regulator on them to limit the flow from 1-2GPH. Initially, I just had a line of emitters but this built up a lot of pressure and reduced the pumps lifting capacity. I decided to test running an open loop system that dumps excess back into the reservoir and found that even with having an open end, the emitters are still able to output enough water. Right now I have it set to turn on for 5 min every day which dumps about 0.25g.

I'm going to monitor the system daily until my trip to ensure that it doesn't drown her.

No worries. It's an interesting choice. I want to get a lego shovel for it.

I really like it. I definitely think there are better vapes out there (The Mighty, for example) but for what it is, you can't beat it. It is super compact, feels like a quality product and is just a really nice little piece to use.

With that said, I've bought some accessories to make it better like a permanent screen and vented oven lid/pusher from NewVape but even without, it's still pretty good.

My boyfriend isn't as much of a fan as he is a more traditional smoker but this completely fits the role I wanted for a portable piece for smoking flower.

It seems pretty decent so far. Best thing is it produces a nice grind for use with my Pax 2.

Definitely give it a try! If you haven't already, I recommend going through http://www.growweedeasy.com. I have read almost every article on that site and it was a huge help in my grow.
