Figured Id add some new stuff to this thread.Heres some pictures of the plants at about 20 days. Its going but kinda slow as I had some difficult clones and Im using dutchmaster nutes for the first time.Anyways these show the BB is still rough looking but the sweet purple is doing well.The florescents will be gone in a day or 2 and the 600 watt hps will go in.But more on that later

Wow Fletch, you are pretty legendary! :hump::joint: I was trying to figure out a good way to design a tent. I think I am going to do the panda film and pvc frame.

Your's looks awesome!

Yeah here are some updated pics.These are roughly 15 days in veg..the BB clones dragged my times down but the sweet purple and my original bubblegum mother from its mother creator caught up in 4 days lolIts a beast.Anyways figure 12 days for the BB clones which is just nuts and 15 days veg so 25-28 days from the clone cut. They now have thier 600 watt hps over them and are at day 1 flower still using the Dutchmaster nutes for the first time but I did cheat and added some FoxFarm tiger bloom to help set the flower sites and I did add some Grotek H202 for o2 to the roots and prevent any algae on the rockwool cubes.They will get a dose here and there of sugar daddy and humboldt county's gravity to harden the buds off..Anyways some new pics going into flower now. Iwill be going to get another couple of these storage setups and building them into grow tents with hardframs and air inlets and such...

what do u think about drip system on a larg scale.
is it productive. say 1oz per or more single cola plants kinda sog style
wondering cause ebb flow isnt going 3 be possible & drip seems the only way.

Im not a big drip fan except I dont mind it to help watering large soil grows then I run lines and pecker drips to each pot and then set my timer to the pump so I dont have to worry about watering. I dont like to use drips on cubes some do but not me. If I was forced to use a drip I would use a direct waterline typ setup like an aero tub or dwc where each netpot in the setup would get a hose line right into the netpot and then run 24 hours on.

well we wernt going to run a drip nosle. we were thinking of running a line for each pot & the line will do a circle around the plant & that will have like 5 holes in it. also using hydrotone. but now we arre thinking about using some r/w pieces to hold some water due to the fact that a drip system really doesnt feed very even so maybe the r/w pieces will help with that. or maybe putting some fytocell. what u think

what kind of square pots are you using fletch? is there a certain ebb & flow type or are those just regular square pots? anything special to them? i rarely ever see people use the pots on an ebb & flow but im thinking of doing it that way, just wondering about the pots.

i want to expand my flowering space and your grow tent looks to good to be true.. haha. i've priced them and it will be around 200 bucks for the kit. f that. how does the pvc handle hanging your light? bend much? my hood is pretty hefty and the last thing is for an accident.. you have some great ideas fletch.. your cloner is awesome. haven't lost a clone since i followed your guide. i think if i upgrade to this growtent, i'm going to do ebb n flow on half and build a larger aero mister, or just make it a dwc with 4 -6 large plants. i can't keep up with the clones with my current flowering space. decisions haha

On the drip system I think I would go rockwool cubes with hydroton pebbles just because I havent use the rockwoll filler yet so Im not sure what retention it might have and I am familiar with hydroton clay pebbels...The square pots I use are I believe 6 inch pots thats across side to side. Yeah this was one of 2 ways I learned from the older guys who I got my begginngs from.They either laid rockwool mats on the table in rows then cut a square out and fit the 4x4 cube into it and then filled the entire table with hydroton about 3 inches deep or used the pots. The pots are cheaper and if your gonna stay 2-3 feet finish work great now if you have room like the others they grew thier plants to 5 feet in tables but they had large pvc grids and a warehouse so they went bigger..In my flood tables it varies I like 4 waterings a day.This 3x3 table holds 12 plants well thats about it for this style without a mini sog and lollipopping. I set my timer to water every 6 hours for 10 minutes and then it takes 4 minutes or so to drain.Now for the ebb and flow buckets I dont have any of those but if you mean my aero type stuff I run the pumps 24 hours a day and will be doing a journel on the next full aero setup I do which will be 28-32 site setup...sloe glad I had something that helped ya out lol..The tents Im working on figuring what I can do to make these availiable and at waht cost.The basic tent costs be $45 right now but Im trying to get bulk prices.Then the frame and mods.I wanna keep the cost in the $100-120 range if I can...The unit holds my old ass heavy steal half cylinder reflector pretty good but I already had ideas to make it even better but this was my proto type to see what it can do and what it needs.The pvc flexs some but not bad at all.I think I can maybe go with a solid type of material for the ciieling to offer an even stronger frame.These have 2 spots setup for fans one for in and one for out.Very easy to setup a co2 line in the cieling over the plants.I will perfect this unit hopefully in next month or 2...I also have to get ready for my challeneg and build my own version of the BCNL Bloombox.I was told that the $grand they charge is rock bottom for thier units and cant be done for less.Soooo me being me I said I can do it better for under $700 so thats coming when it warms up.I will do it better and Im gonna shoot for under $500 if I can with lights we'll see...Ive done the basic versions of most grow methods.I ve done soil,aero,flood and drain,drips,dwc,bubblers and Im tinkering on a fogger setup but I am learning everyday and I havent done like a wall grow or a stadium seat dirt grow yet.I will though lol
