Let me get this straight. You want to take the plants out of the best system in the world and put them into a E/F system?

Dude, follow the directions exactly. You won't be sorry.

I'm not sure if it was the AK47 or maybe the Blueberry. Whatever it was I have been known to partake of the sweet herb occasionally.

That's why I have all you guys along for the ride. I figure if we put all our stoner minds together we might end up having a whole brain

How many stoners does it take to screw in a lightbulb? Ehh.....Ehh...what was I saying? Oh yea, Fuck it! Just change the lightbulb later....

Lol not if its a grow light, we better figure out how to change that pretty damn fast lol. I'm gonna say it takes 2 stoners to change a bulb, one to hold the blunt another to change the bulb lol.

Whatever strain it was sure looks sugary and delicious.

I was expecting the itty bitty leds but these things are 3/8" wide and 1/2" tall and there are 108 of them on a panel. I got three panels for my 2x4 grow cabinet. Notice that the light is sitting on the new tubs for my new veg unit. I got an email from Nirvana this morning that my order of white widow and hindu kush seeds are at stage 5 from 7 (assembling order). Also got an email from another supplier that my Liquid Karma and other goodies were shipped yesterday.

I'm really excited to see how your LEDs work. I've been researching building my own LED light. Even the parts are expensive. I would like to try one on my 6 plant aero/NFT system. It could end up being a perfect small closet solution because of the lack of heat.

Not to mention the cost of power. If you live in an apartment you have to watch using too much power. LEDs would be a perfect solution.

Over the next few years the cost will come down and the LEDs will get more powerful. I foresee that eventually LEDs will rule the closet grow.

I wouldn't be suprised to see LEDs made specifically for the PAR spectrum of plants. Plant don't need the whole light spectrum. Red with a little blue is actually all they use to grow.

Let us know it it goes...

Here is a pretty good supplement to maximum yield all about hydroponics.. it also has the article above in it:

Last but not least, this brief article has some good tips on NFT:
CropKing.com - Nutrient Film Technique (NFT) Production of Lettuce | CropKing.com

Some interesting reading... though I can't really think of any improvements on your design!

What I find interesting is the hybrid approach I use solves all the problems they talk about with large plants.

The cycle timer allows the roots to receive air time they don't get when the water is constantly running over them.

The sprayers oxygenate the water and also apply it evenly to the entire root mass at the same time.

It's funny how us pot growers are able to solve problems the experts can't!

I firmly believe that marijuana is capable of solving many of the worlds problems. Housing materials, clothing, medicine, automotive fuels(hemp oil + modified diesel engine= 100% renewable fuel + cleaner burning fuel). If we all work together like the community we need to be on this planet, then we have the answers in front of us, all we have to do is implement them. I bet "captain planet" is pro marijuana. lol He's our hero.

Stink, I have spent the last hour looking through the thread to find the specific timer you use. Someone recommended a cheaper one too but I can't find that either. Can you give me the brand of timer you use? TY.
