Harvest a Pound Every Three Weeks!

but i thought that the air stones/diffusers add air.......i see, since the roots are suspended in air they get enough air

I found a 20lb co2 tank and regularor with all the hoses for $150

Is a 20lb tank to small for my room 8x8x8 3 nft systems?

sry to crash this outstanding thread but im thinking of moddin my current system and was wondering as i have most of the stuff here anyway, could i get away with my 15minute timers?????????


say 4 example 15 on 30/45 off??

already happy with current set-up but would like to give this a try although read this cant recall the timer thing.

thx and outstanding read

thats what i wanted to know too, i have two 15 min timers, i didn't want to go buy another, already have like 4.


will 15 on 45 off work?

From the reading I have done, going 15min with bareroots and no water = unhealthy and possibly dead plants.

thx 4 that quick answer - santa will get me them next year as hes broke now!!!

yea i was wondering the same... say 15on 15off all day... i know not as good as the cycle timer of 1on5off... but it has to be better than leaving it on 24/7. right now in my current aero setup its on 24/7 unless im in the room messin with stuff. than i will forget to turn it back on sometimes. but for what i have seen these roots arent drying out or showing any signs of harm. i had a breaker pop cuz i had a water leakage issue and one of my powerstrips got a lil wet... pumps/lights/etc. all off from 2:30 to around 8ish. they were wilted a bit that day, but nothing too significant. they came right back.

I am looking for the Stoner Clause to get me the Sentinal/GPS MDT-1 for xmas!
That would solve those issues as well as my res temp issues! NO MORE ICE WATER BOTTLES!!!! YEA! hopefully stoner clause doesnt forget, haha.

That is some nice piece of hardware there... timer down to seconds? shiiiiiiitt

I want one.... let me check the price...lol


I got stuck looking at the manual...lol.. It is really nice 219 isnt bad at all for the shit you can do with it... but for know the money will go for higher wattage HID

That's a good deal for everything.

What the fuck are you going to do when your growth rate increases another 30%?

I wouldn't do it but 15/15 might work. My cycle timer ate shit once so I hooked my pumps up to my big controller. It only has a minimum of 12 min off though. So I set it up for 12 on and 12 off until I could replace my normal timer the next day.

I watched the plants closely for a while to make sure they didn't wilt. They looked OK so I went to bed. Woke up the next morning and the plants were fine.

Makes me wonder what kind of time spread the plants can handle. 1/5 may not even be the best timer solution.

Its cheaper than that, should be able to find it around 180... and it will control my HID's as well as have a cycle timer for mah []D []_[] []v[] []D 's
sorry couldnt resist using my old CS name haha

and if 15-15 will work, atleast until i get the MDT-1 then wally world here i come! 4.79 timer. then i can maybe ask "st. chrNick'' for C02 if the 15-15 works.

i cant beleive im barely finding this, awesome stuff!

Just wondering if I wanted to do a small scale version of your setup, how big of a res would I need for a 6 pot version of your cloner/vegger? Stick with the 18 gal beast?

I'm no expert, but my understanding is that all the PVC glue you buy at a Home Depot, et al are safe for water pipes once it has dried.

The glue smells so nasty that I've always wondered the same thing as I work on projects around the house over the years. I look at it this way - 99% of the people who buy the stuff are using the glue for water piping around the house, so unless it says in giant letters on the glue NOT FIT FOR POTABLE WATER SUPPLIES - someone would be looking at huge lawsuits.

That doesn't mean it is safe of course, just that I don't worry about it I guess, lol. Maybe we have an expert here....

stinkbud have you grown white widow in your setup? if so how long did it take to flower?

Can anybody recommend a specific brand of pump? My local guy carries EcoPlus submersible pumps - are these reliable?

put your netting up with 2 to 3 levels zip tie the netting to the pvc stand whats so great about netting is when the plants are sleeping they bend and droop when they have the netting they produce bigger fatter buds because all the energy goes in to the bud and not helping the droopy branch hope this makes sense if you try the netting you will never bread tie a branch again hope this helps you already have a bad ass system this will make it better trust me peace

your right stinkbud 1/5 may not be the best timer solution you should have your timer go on for the 1 min on 10 min off probably have even faster growth who knows shit i think im going to build one of these fence post this thread is the best info since i started on this forum great info really peace

My cycle timer is adjustable and I have it set for 1min-on and 15min-off in my cloner system. Seems to be working fine....I have root nubs now and everything seems to stay moist between cycles.
