I think its safe to say that is what my next grow is gonna look like. I'm thinking a 5x6, with 4 plants. I've got 1000w I need to get a cool tube. I also deffinitly want to try the air buckets. Nowstop, could you post or link me to a detailed description of the construction of those. You seem to have gotten over the 1g/w , do you think with this set up, I should be able to acheive 1g/w. I may include co2, I gotta price it.

I don't know, I havn't seen him on here for awhile, the thread had gone dead.

Are you saying his claims were bullshit?

Just wondering?

The airbasket is real and does work and can be accquired by anyone for a very small inital outlay.
2 quid for a large basket,6 quid for a pump and 19 pence for a cheap bath sponge.
Obviously the above figures change for your own countrys currency.

If NSW hasnt been online you can bet there is a real reason for it.
I will post some of my own airbasket pics of the resultant dried buds and a couple of other shots.

You can view all of the airbasket pics in my link belowbongsmilie:blsmoke:

Looks great natmoon! So how does the airbasket work exactly? You pump air or water into the soil? Thanks for the help

You pump air into the basket only.
The sponge acts like your lungs do.
I created the airbasket with a sponge for this reason and nsw tried it with an airstone instead.

The sponge is larger and much more like your lungs which is why i feel it works better.
I personally cut many small holes inot the airline and then inserted it into the sponge.
In my opinion most cannabis plants suffer from lack of air in the soil especially during flowering.
I also make my own soil,perlite and water crystal soil mix so i can water less.

More oxygen=bigger buds.
I also created this idea as you can grow one huge plant and reduce the charges on you if you do unfortunately get caught you can only be charged for one plants.

I yielded 487 grams from that one plant under a 400 watt dual spec lamp and 2 cool blue fluro tubes.
Best of luck with it all and for more pics and equipment shots look in my link below:eyesmoke::blsmoke:

Thanks, I've been folowing your posts for a while, you inspired me to do a SCROG. It's my first grow and we have almost the same amount of area and watts. so I figured why not? I have 4 bubblegum almost 3 weeks into flowering.

Thanks

Thats cool Dj.

THANK YOU natmoon, I have been hoping that one of you guys would pick this thread back up. I have wanted to make my next grow a scrog for some time for exactly the reasons you stated you came up with this idea, less plants. I am going to journal it, and the airbaskets seem like a great idea. Obviously your plants like it!! :)

I'm hoping to have 4 plants in a 4x8 area, using the air baskets, and a 1000w light. I'm also hoping to get a co2 source. This said, my goal is 1g/w and I think from what I've seen from you guys, that this will be very attainable.

How long do you veg for usually with this technique, do you go weeks, or 1-2 months?
I would like to go 1-2 months veg, 2 months bloom.

Vegged for 4 weeks,i think,maybe 5 cant remember for sure.
All of my plants are fimmed though and under a 400 watt hps(dual spec) complimented by 2 cool blue fluro tubes from the word go.
I only used yeast and sugar bottles 2 or 3 times for co2.
The longer you veg for the bigger they will be.
Dont forget though that the taller that they get means that the lower sections are even further away from the light so try to add some kind of lower lighting even if it just some cfls.
Best of luck with it all and thanks for checking it out:blsmoke:

Nat... those plants are insane. Do you have any pics of a plant pre FIM and post FIM? I have searched around and I can't find a really clear post on the FIM technique.

Its basically just the american slang term for almost topping a plant(fuck i missed)
But you dont actually take the whole top away,just about 80-90% of it.
This,in most cases causes multiple tops.

I did have over a thousand pics online but i took them away in case of a photobucket security flaw.
I will search through tomorrow (uk time zone)and see what i have left on fimming and make a post and add some pics to my riu gallery for you to seebongsmilie

Thanks nat, I would also like more info on FIMing, I understand the principle, but when I've tryed it, I have only gotten either 2 stems with fucked up leaves, or in one case, the two stems grew together and form one mutant stem, it was twice as wide, but it was one stem, real wierd.

I have seen they way fimming can make a whole bunch of tops, thats what I want!! And I am going to scrog it, so the hieght isn't really gonna be a problem, Maybe I'll go with 5-6 weeks veg, then bloom, I think 5-6 weeks should give me enough time to fill my screen.
