I didn't mean 40 minutes off, just that the timer repeats every 40 minutes... I would probably go with 1min 40 secs on and 5 minutes off... My question is will this timer work, it's a lot cheaper than buying the ones that cost $80...
Good questions bro! You have many things to consider when talking about harvest amount. Genetics is one of the most important aspects. Some strains are huge producers. I once had a strain called SnowBud (Akorn). It would consistently produce 3-4oz. per plant. In the same rack every other strain would produce around 2oz. That was going into flower at 12" high. I was also running 3-1000w lights and CO2! At that grow I had 7 plants per post for a total of 14 per rack. Harvest was 20-27oz. every three weeks. Why the difference in harvest amounts. Genetics...The more SnowBud I grew, the bigger my harvest. I once grew a couple of Sour Diesel in one of my Aero/DWC units that produced 20oz.
I agree with Sky on this. 1 on 4 off is great. My mentor taught me 1 on 5 off many years ago and that seemed to work fine. One time I burnt out my timer and I had to run my pumps on another timer 3 on and 12 off and you know what. That worked too. One time I tried 15 on and 15 off and the water got a little too warm. Kind of like Goldilocks and the Three Stoners. Which by the way would be a great fucking movie!
I just went to get a recyc . timer..my guy said CAP went out of business..or they stopped making the recyc. timers..i have'nt had a chance to look into it..but i bought one with knobs...maybe I'll just superglue the knobs once i get it set..always something..
So what would be your suggestion as far as what strain to run for clone to flower SOG style? I know what you mean by longer veg time being where its at. The bluedream that I vegged for about 2 months produced a little over a pound under my LED light, which is fricking awesome, but it just takes a really long time to get harvest that way, especially since I don't really have the space or money to support a vegging chamber... They would have to be vegged in my flowering tent, so everything would be put on at least a 4 month cycle. Eventually once I buy a house and not rent anymore, I will have separate tents for cloning, vegging, and flowering. Its a lot of money to get all the crap I need. Good LED lights are expensive, lol. I used to use a 600 HPS, but heat was always a problem, 85-95 degree swings with good venting. LED is where the future is at, less heat, more usable light, better trich production, & cheaper electric. But yeah, you gotta cough up almost 10x the price of HPS for good ones.
Google "titan cycle timers."I just went to get a recyc . timer..my guy said CAP went out of business..or they stopped making the recyc. timers..i have'nt had a chance to look into it..but i bought one with knobs...maybe I'll just superglue the knobs once i get it set..always something..
NICE! I picked up one of their fan controllers..love it..guess I'm spending more $$..maybe i can get my shop to swap it out ..
Again, SkyRocket is on the ball. That's the exact same timer I have. I didn't even realize it wasn't a CAP. My CAP timer is from 2007 and it still works! Anyway the timer Sky pictured is the one you want and it's cheap.
I agree that LEDs are the future. Right now it's still like when LCD/LED TVs came out. They were expensive and only Bill Gates could afford them. Eventually LEDs will be everywhere and cheap. Someday LEDs will become self-aware and take over the world. We will all become slaves to the LED. Now that would be a great fucking movie!
Are these all strains you breed yourself or can we get them from attitude or herbies?
Are these all great for sea of green growing, or just growing in general? Looking for something that only really produces one main stalk with little side branching, but maybe I'm going about this all wrong...lol
First I forget to tell you that there is really no order to the list. Every strain has it's own merits. The fact is there are a lot better clone only strains out there right now. I didn't want to go out and suggest a bunch of shit you can only dream about. Everything on the list are seeds you can buy right now.
Where's this place where an ounce goes for 300-400?
I get all my seeds from the single seed center, worldwide-marijuana-seeds.com...They have a great selection from just about every seed bank out there and they ship anywhere, plus you get a couple free seeds with every order. I have bought from them multiple times and never had an issue. One time my landlord stole the seeds when they came in the mail, I emailed the company and let them know I never got them, they just sent them again. As long as you give them your correct address, they have an arrival guarantee...
Any experience with dutch passions blueberry? Comparisons to DJ's? I just started that and a Barney's vanilla kush to mother to feed the system, had a LSD but it never popped..
. Also getting some WW cuts sometime in the next month...gonna be a good year i think
