I Wish I'd Had a Hole Saw

Holy crap! That's a lot of dremmelin'

... i thought you were doing it bigger than 60 plants?

or is my memory just off?

your holes look nice though. VV

sorry couldn't resist.

i could lend ya mine,,but then I'd have to kill ya,,LOL j/k,,buy a drill bit that cuts out doorknob HoLE's next time

Keep on Growin

HoLE

laser beam eyes would also work good here too

hmmm very nice post KP. I have to ask all of you how did you come to make the move from soil to this type of setup? And should that be my next learning experience or is it realy difficult? I keep thinking I should try but I know NOTHING about it.

thnx for sharing KP~

holy shit batman! I cut one 6" hole with a dremmel, changed my mind about the other 7, grabbed a piece of plywood and my jigsaw. You are the definition of persistence and stubbornness. I tried the cutting wheel with the dremmel but didn't much care for the molten scalding plastic splattering over every inch of exposed flesh. 6" hole saws at Lowes cost about $42!

72. i had originally hoped for 120, but that's too much, too many, too close... i downsized.

the six site is now set up and running, recirculating, bubbling and doing it's thing. i've got a little bit of root rot to deal with on the afghans, but they'll be ok. this is a test run, i'm planning on doing a strawberry sog at the same time (yes, REAL strawberries )

coming soon

pj, i've always been dirt; even now, you can look around my yard, and see the signs of the avid gardener...

after growing several strains out, and doing very well with them, i got a chance to watch plants from the SAME beanstock grow in dwc......

he more than quadrupled my best yeilds! after that, i had to try it... i've played with hydro several times, made many gadgets and gizmos, but i've never really tried to do it right. main reason is lack of hydro stores and nutes...

kp get's her feet wet is my first true blue run with hydro. after seeing the yeild improvement in the flesh, i'm hooked; any indoor growing i do from now on is hydro. moms and babies in dirt of course, but indoor flowering is now all water

as for difficulty... a general knowledge of what your plants do when they aren't happy helps; when something goes wrong, it goes wrong pretty quick...

but, if i can do it....

yeah, i tried that; i gave up... i used a diamond wheel to cut the rough circle, and a coarse sand wheel to get it to finished product... the diamond wheel works much much better

cool KP thnx I am going to buy the bubbleponics from stealth hydro (meh wife is buying it in a couple of months) so this gives me time to learn . Thanks for the response.
