Can someone enlighten me on the drought harvest? Is this what was discussed a few threads ago about starving them of water for 24 hours before giving them water with sweet in it???

Oh and thanks everyone for the compliments on my grow, yeah they are looking mighty nice indeed! i am hoping for at least an elbow off this one!

Just a heads up,

Blue Dream is mostly sativa if I remember correctly. Don't vegg those too long, they will be big freaking trees before you know it

The monster sized one, if it has the roots I think it has... Could be moved to a flower unit.

I had a run of 100% sativa... I topped them, bent them, you name it and they still got 5' tall... I had to run one rail of just the sativa, because they would have overpowered the hybrid and indica's that I had. If the rail had been mixed the others would not have gotten much light.

Just something to think about.

okay thank you, and thanks to all who also said to measure and build to size, i will get started hopefully soon and let you all know how things go

Hey Stink,

I want to start off by thanking you and the other posters who provided so much knowledge about the subject matter to us noobs.

I have two questions...

1.) What do you guys do about smell (odor), how do you mask or remove it so that you can remain stealth.

2.) A - Would it work if instead of building the Areo/NFT system, I can just use a Rubbermaid similar to the veg system and grow one BIG ASS PLANT (similar to a Christmas tree ).
2.) B - How big would the tree be in order to harvest a pound? How long will I have to veg the tree?

I am also looking at an alternative to CO2, this system looks like it will be expensive (the lights alone could run you half a grand) I wanted to know if there was an alternative to a CO2 tank?

I happened to already have a great air filter in my house. "Sun-Pure" brand. Filters 5 or 6 ways... Most are using can filters with a fan attached. Some are also using ozone. There's a bunch of good DIY carbon filter threads in the Do It Yourself forum

I had a 5' tall sativa tree in my veg unit. It was really hard to keep it in there, it kept tipping over.

I started piling rocks on the net pot, trying to hold up AND it was rough getting into the bottom rez to cut the roots off the pump.

It's up to you, but that was my experience. At least with the fence post setup, you can either zip tie the net pots or another person here, thought of using some tabs... Kinda like what holds on some bathroom mirrors.

There's ways around keeping the roots from clogging the pump, I plan on using two rubbermaids (one for the plant and the other for the res) I plan on keeping the res lower than the plant but not on top of each other.

Example: both containers will be side by side but the plant container will be slightly elevated so that it will not over fill.

As far as it tipping over, I can create posts that will keep it vertical.

How long did it take you to veg the plant to 5'?

My goal is to maximize my vertical space and minimize the amount of cycles.

For example, if Stink's system is 1lb every 3wks then maybe I can make a system that will take 9wks flower but yield a bigger harvest so I would not need to cycle as many times

figure that one big plant can also take advantage of getting more light being that it wont have to share with 13 other plants.

I started my first big plant also tryin to bring the count lower and yield bigger. the veg unit it very hard to do this in. i started to flower my current green crack out at about 32" tall and 28" wide. The root mass was the size of half my entire arm after trimming , and wider than my arm. the only problem is the roots growing into the pump. it would be much easier to veg it and flower it in the ' flowering unit ' if you want to grow trees. id also suggest going with a 5x5 fence post if u do this to give more room for the roots.

Hey Chef!

I use the 5X5 posts... With my sativa trees, I'll probably go with a 3" net pot next time

yea id even go 4" net pots if your gunna do trees. the green crack is about 2-3 weeks into flower and the stalk is almost as big as the 2" net pot.
