I used 5" too; 4" works fine but 5" does too. Gives a tad more room for the roots.

Your willingness to try marijuana to help your daughter stay off physically addictive narcotics is highly commendable. Just had to say that.
I think in order to make the most out of the situation it's important to grow two types of marijuana at minimum.
One sativa heavy with more anti- depression and muscle relaxer
effects which is ideal for morning/daytime use and won't leave her too stoned or too dragged down and still allow her to think clearly and be as active as possible.
And a second heavy medical indica dominant strain, for when pain is at it's worst. Strong enough to overcome any trouble sleeping and make the biggest dent in her pain symptoms. But this is one an active person would not want to take all the time because it can and will make her too tired to get the most out of each day.
My two at this time are c99 for the light medicine and Jack Herer as the strong but I'm sure there is better, I haven't tried that many.
Also you'll find that if you stack medications like ibuprofen with acetominaphen with marijuana it can make them all work a little bit better than any one alone.
Lastly oils made from mj seem to have a very very high theraputic value aside from any effect of getting high so when you do get to growing enough plant material try making some oils from them and see how she responds to that. It's different than just smoking alone and some have reported getting great relief without even having to take amounts that really make you feel stoned.
Good luck...

Stink u thread has given me so much insight on my up and coming grow. I have just received my seeds, Northen light, White Rhino, and the greatest Purple Haze. I look forward to using ur system. My look is that everything I need happens to be in my home already, & just so happen that there is a grow store that is within 15 min. of my home. But I my question is now that I have my seeds what is the best way that u suggest to sprout them and set them up give me the best results. I know from much reading that my haze will take forever and a year give me something worth being happy about. So any of ur great help or anyone else that happens to read this will be gladly helped.

Sprout in paper towel or coco core . something like that then just carefully take it out and put into netpot. I used a sprouter for sprouts you eat. then I made thinner neoprene holders that I could just lay the sprout in and the little nub of a root stuck down and within a day was nice looking and well rooted. check out some pics a few pages back.Stink u thread has given me so much insight on my up and coming grow.

I'm glad to hear that you are helping your daughter. It gives me a warm felling in my heart. Thanks!
I have a 10 yr old little girl. She knows all about my grow and has met some of my patients. I've talked to her about our medicine and how it helps keep people alive. She has learned about chemotherapy and what it does to people.
I believe in teaching my girl honesty so I would never lie to her. Kids can handle a lot more truth than we give them credit for.
Many people believe in hiding the truth from our youth but our kids need to understand the difference between recreational drugs and medicine. Education is the key, not secrecy.
I'm glad you've taken control of your daughters needs. Your daughter is lucky to have a mother as unselfish as you.
I'm sure I can speak for all the StinkBuddies here when I say we are all just one big family.
Welcome!

OK, I understand now. The 400s will work great. You might want to just stick with another 400W. Then you only have to deal with one type of bulb.
The 4-400W lights may even work better than 2-1000W lights.
You can hang the 400s very close to the canopy without burning the plants. You just have to stay on it because the plants grow so fast. They can grow within burn range in just one night if you're not careful.

It seems to me that the 5" would work even better than the 4" posts. I've never seen them around here though.
It would be an easy mode though. Just add an inch to the plans where needed. For sure the reservoir has plenty of room for the posts.
Post some pics when you get it built!

I popped them in a paper towel, and then put them into Rapid Rooter plugs (not those exactly, found equivalent things here though) when they just had a little tiny root poking out. I wet the plugs until they fully expanded, then put a seed in each. I put them all (five) on a little plate and put them under the light. In a few days, all of them were poking through. I kept them in the Rapid Rooter plugs until the first set of real leaves showed up, making sure to keep them moist all the time (those plugs dry out quick!). At that time they were about 3-4" tall. I cut the fabric around the plug, carefully washed the roots off and stuck them straight into the cloner... no need for special seedling sleeves or anything. It has been almost two weeks and all five are doing well
Stink (or anyone else), about how long do you let your seedlings go before moving them into the veg unit? I'm thinking four sets of leaves should be good, which will likely be another couple weeks for a total of nearly 4 weeks in the cloner. I don't want to blast 'em with nutes too early...
EDIT: Just went back and looked at the linked post again, you put 'em into the veg unit. They're getting moved right now

Check DirtHawkers journal--him and Stink got me pretty good too! hahaThanks man! I really wanted to see this! I've been thinking it's the 23 all day for some reason.
Anyway... here's some pics!
Middle unit is about 4 weeks flowering. Right unit at 2 weeks and left unit just put in. Few more slots for clones that just need a few more days before I throw them in.
I recently upgraded the 14gal reservoirs to 18gal--these flower units are larger and using lots of water... if and when it gets up to 4 gal/day that's basically half the old reservoir volume!
