Do you think a 600w hps would be optimal for this setup? Or do you think a 600w could handle an 8 plant system?
Thx

Nothing wrong with 24/7 for your seeds or clones.

600 watt hps will work if that is all you have. For a full SB rail system 1000 watt would give you alot better coverage and light penetration for higher yields

Stinkbud was asked by High times to write up that artical for them. He is the designer of this system it's has nothing to do with High times other than the write up done on Stinkbud.

If anyone want help with thier systems than log onto the real Stinkbuddies website. That's where you will find Stink and all the members that use and have modified this setup.

Running 24/7 can help yield slightly more, you might need a water chiller to keep the pump from heating up you rez. I've done it both ways and saw no major impact. However I run mine 24/7 during during flushing.

Nice, my apologies to stinkbud. I got lazy and didn't cross reference my facts. Thanks for the help.
Did you have any issues waterproofing that undercurrent system? Where did you get the designs?
I did a dwc, drip and I had a hell of a time trying to waterproof those bucket to bucket connections.
Looks good though man.

My Under Current was built by http://www.cch2o.com/.
Put the kit together filled it with water fired it up and no leaks.

2 over the 3. I use a 600w HPS over ea unit. Mine are a 3 rail mod , 30" wide and 40" long rails w/4 plants per rail, 11" between pots, 200w less over all but does as well if not a little better than the 2 1000w HPS. With the 600w hps in an air cooled hood you can put it almost on top of the plants compared to a 1k.
*I have a second set of rails that fit the units with only 3 plants per rail, offset, depends what I am out for as far as which rails I use.

It blows away any other system out there for yield..

pot pimp you wouldent happen to be of the potpimp seed company would you??
if so would you quickly care to explain why people send you money for seeds and never get seeds?
if its not you i dont mean any dissrespect and i have never bought seeds from that vender. but reading your name just sparked some memories of when i was loking for reliable seed sites.
