Harvest a Pound Every Three Weeks!

Not if you would use a plumbed quick disconect manifold. Then you use only 2 50.00 chillers at 75 watts a piece.

One chiller for the main res and one for the 18 gal res for flushing.

Took me a second to draw it out. Visual learner and plumber.

Show you guys when it is done.

Just need the DIY Autodrain.

nice. that should work, but it will also limit the strains you run. I kinda like having three rez's to split strains that take different nute levels. for instance I have some that will gobble up over 2000ppm and then others that will take as low as 700 or 800.

If the strains you are running share the same tolerances you'll be fine. Good luck! :)

Yea this is more for the homebrew guy who only is focused on a few strains. I am sure someone could come up with a better way to do it for a multiple of strains.

Thanks.

cool. yeah I was looking into doing the same exact thing not very long ago, sharing rez's. I'm quite glad I decided not too. It's fun running six or more different strains :P

I plan on running the same strain for a few harvest so this would work well for me.


This is good if you wanted to double the stink system to 2 flower systems per harvest. This is what I'm looking into tomorrow ( located a rez that could be shared ) but trying to get more height, along with trying to share a rez between 2 systems. I know that the pump can run 2 systems with no problems. Just trying to find a container that would be suitable.

yes, most were started from seed for this new room. start the seeds in rapid rooters, once they sprout crumble the rooter away and put them in your cloner. simple.

Thanks for the info. I have seen those, but was afraid that they might break apart and clog the pump. But if you can just crumble it, that solves my problem.

yeah most if not all of the rooter material will crumble off much like chocolate cake. just do it as soon as it sprouts and turns green. longer you wait, the harder it will be to get all the material off. if you get it right as it sprouts you'll have no problem putting them in the cloner with ZERO rooter material attached. a little bit wont hurt tho, the pumps have filters you should be checking every few days anyways :)

The blue is a dual arc bulb, its hps and mh, but it will run off an hps ballast. I have a magnetic 1000w hps ballast, and I'm under the impression I can't just screw in a regular mh bulb, that I would need to use one of these dual arcs. If you guys agree that I can veg fine under the regualr hps, then I might not spend the money this time.

in Australia we have a 400 watt son-t-agro which has 33 watts extra which is the blue spectrum. so its really a 433 watt bulb but its called a 400. it runs on hps control gear has plenty of red as hps does but also some blue for veg. if i were u i'd look for a cheap mh kit on ebay cheap as chips! add that to your system.

And Stink i must say that this is a really informative thread. i like your ideas, well thought out. keep up the great work.

your rite thundercat you cant just put a reg mh in that hps ballast, you would need a conversion hps bulb that would run hps and mh, (both a slightly lower lumens mind you) but you can veg with hps its just not the BEST way to veg, but will work none the less.

and stinkbud that 1250 is a good bike, what year? I have a buddy that took a honda frame and put a suzuki motor on it and called it a honduki! lol

I veg totally with 600 watt HPS x2 in a 2m x 1.5m wide x 2 m high room, coco slabs and i get really stocky short healthy girls, really close internode gap nearlly to close if u know what i mean. thick stems to. check out the pic 3 weeks old from seed, they under 18/6 have started to flower for some reason.?? anyway that is veggin with hps. IT CAN BE DONE!!

Well, stinkies, what do you think? About the light.

34 days left, 22 days right under 350w LED!

My personal, preliminary opinion is... :hump:

Seems to be working fine.

Dang small ass buds, Led FTL no wonder everyone says LED sucks.
Your getting less than a oz per plant? You have co2 too.

been a while since I stopped in. got everything built, everything is working great and all the units are now filled. now just to wait for the first harvest to begin the perpetual cycle. I'm using 1 flood tray from a previous setup and two flowering units. The third flowering unit, already completed and sitting off to the side, will replace the tray when its finished. Feel free to swing by the journal in my sig. thanks again for all the great info. Cheers.

tip for any one looking to add more plants to the areo nft system. i built two 10 foot long posts with 11 plants in each. well at week 6 the root system has gotten so big it has clogged the sprayers and i am counting every day another plant going due to lack of water. only thing i can think to do is maybe run the pump on a longer timer with more water? the root mat is huge and seems cloged in the middle when the sprayer comes on watter just dribles out, but i pulled a cup with no plant and i see alot of water spraying out. so i know i got good sprayer preasure. any advice on how i should milk these babbies through the flush.

Try running the pump for 2 minutes on every 3 minutes.

Try not to veg your plants too long. If you do end up with a massive root ball in veg, then cut off the bottom of the roots before you put them into flower.

Anyone ever take those loose lower buds and compress them together while its still wet making a dense compact tight bud?

Of course, alot of the trichomes come off on your fingers but they are still crystalized..I just made a shitload of nice lookin nuggets!
Click to expand...
Trim your bud fresh and put it on a screen for a day or two. Take all the still wet buds and put them in a paper grocery bag. Shake the buds up a few times a day.

The buds take a little longer to dry this way but they end up super dense and hard as rocks! The extra drying time makes the buds taste even sweeter.

The weight of the top buds compress the buds at the bottom of the bag.

I germ mine on a plate with paper towels. After they sprout I put them in a peat puck and hand water them with an eye dropper until they are tall enough to fit in a collar (about a week). I put a knee high nylon around my pump to keep out any debris. I don't cut off the netting. Your plant will just grow through the netting. There really isn't that much debris, but better safe than sorry.

good luck.
:peace:
