Harvest a Pound Every Three Weeks!

Travis9226 · Jun 24, 2012

I have a couple questions, one, how do u you control rez temps and two my understanding is that the rez has to be light proof to stop algea growth? And you have two gaping holes in each one. Thank you

1. the coil is a 50' stainless wort chiller, i circulate cold water through it to cool res. i also wrap res with 2 layers of bubble insulation and set them on foam mats, and also a piece of the insulation as a top blanket.
2. gaping holes? please look at last pic again. and also read answer #1. no light gets in. dark, quiet, and out of the way.

here is the 50gal, 3 rail, 12 site system. i have 3 of these and harvest 1 every 3 weeks. when completely assembled the manifold is secured and leak proof, just so no one points that out. this system has had 11-12 harvests and never replaced a part or had a leak. i just noticed in the pics the center rail and the rail on the right should be switched and the stagger pattern is more identifiable.

Dude, I haven't had anything and I know the number I am trying to achieve is greater than the number of fingers I have, but I count 11 plant sites. What am I missing Sensei, besides some BoJangles? Love the design. May have to do that instead of going to the strongbox with rails. Love the compact design. I could put 6 of those where I have 3 of the original systems. I would be interested in seeing how everything ties together. My next harvest is this coming weekend. spent a few hours last night stripping a lot of fan leaves. Should be close to 2 lbs.

in glad your grow is doing good bnb, cant wait to test it. there are 12 sites, just cant see that last one on the right side, i had the rails in the wrong spot.

the drain is the 2"pvc pipe with slots that end of rail sits in. it has a t that goes in hole in lid of res.

I meant hose adapter drain

is this system with the double post with insulation in the middle as well?

I am going to have to build this system.. its too legit

superstoner1 · Jun 25, 2012

no, this is just a regular rail. my new system will use everything you see here just replacing the old rails with new double rails. drain, manifold, and sprayer bars will interchange.

hey SS do u run your spray manifolds along the bottom of the posts. i can only source 6" round pvs pipe and was thinking il need to fix somethin inside so the spray bar is half way up the side of the 6" rail so the roots dont overtake the misters

I am not SS, but you can use vinyl tubing. I am SURE you can find 1/2" pvc? go to any hardware store...

i just disconnect the manifold at the pump hose and plug on another hose that leads to draim and let the pump do the work. the pickup tube on the pumps will get it down to about 1-2qts.

superstoner1 · Jun 25, 2012

the two 45* elbows on the spray bar let it sit in the corner. you could rig something to raise it but try it first. people always freak about clogged sprayers and mainly before they even tried the system, but ive never had a problem. the system is redundant and by the time roots could clogg a sprayer the nft part is what keeps them fed. do not put sprayers directly below pots, mount in between the pots.

Is it nessecary to use elbows on the spray bar.. Don't see an issue having them go straight down the middle...

six in one hand, half a dozen in the other. just like them out of the way.

not trying to start drama, but you have been reading on rollitup for over 2 years now, (join date is may 2010) and you have yet to harvest a successful crop?
I have just completed my first grow ever. Dwc multisite grow.

A series of unfortunate events my dear friend. But in the end, life throws us obstacles to see how bad we really want it. I let the obstacles slow me down, but i am still on the path. But I will have a grow soon......

never. i had 6 of the 10 most read posts on that site. i helped and still help many, many people on individual basis. i also started on this site, under a different name, and was an original member of stinkbuddies. you would never see or hear of me trying to get any money from selling any plans or for assistance. in fact i have turned down money and for one person who insisted on paying me i had him send his money to st. judes hospital. yes i did sell a shitload of collars, on sb and ebay, but what i did was save people almost half of what they would have spent and gave them a way to label the plants without using labels. i spent a ton of time and money in trying new things to use and it was originally just for my use until i kept getting asked for them. i give away 8oz of every harvest for very sick people i have met through my wife going through treatments for her illness and have never asked for money. finding stinks post here and working with systems has allowed me to do this and i still believe in spread the love. i dont have a copy of stinks book, and i will not down load it, but if stink asked me for money i would send it.

SS walks the walk! SS is the reason I believe in humanity, decency and basic human compassion. I plan on doing great altruistic acts once i become more stable in my life and SS is my inspiration.

Side would work, as long as the sprayer are in the middle between sites

Yea really, I could not have progressed without him... He will get the credit he deserves one day. He has my gratitude and blessings...
