Many thanks to DrGreenFinger for hard work and design of this unit. I usually don't do grow journals, but I figured it would be nice to share as others do. Hopefully I help or inspire and learn some along the way.

So the strain is Pot of Gold by The Flying Dutchmen. I always keep this in my garden because I LOVE it. These cuttings were taken 9-13-09 and have all rooted as of today. There are 5 or 6 that don't have roots coming out of the netpots, but they are there and will be soon.

In a week or so after the roots are well established I will move the unit into a 4x4' tent with a 1000W HPS. I will veg for max 2 weeks and then start flowering. I will be using the SOG method and I hope to accomplish 1oz per plant for a total of 2lbs. Wish me luck, comments welcome....now some pics.

subscribed...i have a very similar setup in the making but i plan to use 3 skinnytubs with 5 plans in each and do a perpetual grow and try and get 10 oz every 3 weeks

Nice plan, hopefully this works out for you. I'm only running 1 for right now for trial and error. If all goes well I will build 3 more systems, one exclusively for cloning and the rest in a 4x8' tent under 2000W perpetual.

Earl, nice to see the king of aero tagging along. I'll update Sunday afternoon when these go into the tent.

you plan to harvest every 3wks? where did you buy the pump...

After this trial grow, I will build 3 more units and move to my 4x8' tent with 2 - 1000W HPS. It will have 3 of these systems in there 3 weeks apart in flowering. I will use my 4x4' tent for mothers and have the last system in there as an aero cloner. Bought the pump on good ol' ebay, its a Via Auqa 2300 which is rated at 609GPH.

2 lb's thats a hell of a goal for your first run. DOC uses 2 and barley gets the 2 pounds. you should strive more .5-.75 ish. a gram per wat would be over 2 but even getting a G per W is hard. good luck ill be watching as im running the systems also

I agree the goal is set high, but not too far out of reach. I will be happy with whatever I get tho. Tomorrow they will go into the tent for day 1 of veg.

I will be following the Lucas formula with the exception of using RO, I'm using tap. I use FloraNova Bloom @ 6ml per gallon which put my ppm at 1380 with a ph of 6.7. I adjusted the ph down to 5.5 and as I anticipated the ph/ppm as of today rose to 6.1 and the ppm dropped to 1220. The ph swing is normal and the ppm drop is due to the bubble stone aerating the tap water. Before the plants are transferred tomorrow I will adjust the ppm back to 1300 and the ph down to 5.8. I will check the water level daily and add back plain water only if needed. I will only check ph/ppm if I see issues otherwise I will check once a week and adjust the ph/ppm to within range for the Lucas formula. Also, I know people will strongly disagree, but I will not flush these plants at all. I choose this method because its proven and simple.

Pics tomorrow.
