Northern Farmer Stadium Grow , Vertical

bearo420 said:

wow, i just wasted like 2 days reading. well not wasted but time im not getting back. This is it. This guy northern farmer has the perfect setup. Perfect for cost, ease to setup, production value, and dissassembly speed as well. I looked at all the vertical grows here and on 4 other sites, and I hate to say it, but this is the best. 3 1ks in a row, down a V shaped room. Simple but so smart. im going to try to small scale this in my hydro hut. But this is the idea all my setups will follow.

so why is this the best vertical grow idea, cause its so cheap. nothing required. build shelves, hang lights, one vent in. one vent out. done! and this guy is doing 10 pound grows like nothing.

But where do you find 200 clones at a time?Im working on a connect like that.

this is the grow i want to try

Personally I would buy a amazon 16 or 32 pot amazon aeroponics system and place it in a single tent 1.2m 1.2m 6ft. Grow 15 plants for about 8 weeks and you should have about 230+ clone sites.

I had 200 in my eco system crammed in from just 15 mothers, was using dp power plants, totally wrong strain for the eco although it was a good yeild cosidering they are 90% sativa's.

Would avoid buying an eco at all costs, totally crap system, pain in the arse.

Im going for what Northernfarmer is doing only aeroponic buckets instead of using soil bags, will be using 3.5 or 5 gallon buckets with baskets and spray heads to enable large root growth in the buckets.

Will be much better than using pvc drainpipe tubes which limit root growth and with aeroponic drain pipes they can clog easy unlike the bucket system where gravity pulls the roots down in bucket.

I would take the clones off the lower branches about 1 week into flowering

Is it me or has it been a norm to take these cuttings in flower.I have done it out of neccessity to keep a strain going and it never bothered em.Lately people are making alot of references to doing it all the time.I think its time to evolve anyway

time to getter done son

ive found that the cuttings i take a week into flower actually root faster than my regular veg clones....maybe hormones or something, i dunno, i is not a scientest...

So your thinking. This cant get any better right, amazing, what can be done to improve. Well how about portable and on wheels. AMazing again. thanks ROCKET SURGEON at hg420.com HomeGrown420 - powered by vBulletin?

since hg420 is down I was wondering if anyone has this thread in a file?

That is the meanest set up bro!! keep it up

get over yourself, he was only askin a simple question. thought thats what the forum was for ?

i actually think its the nutrients your using when u flower. less nitrogen. nitogen slows the rooting process down. i got 2 silver haze clones from a mate who was using sensi grow a and b and the little buggers would not root! when he put them into fower and changed his nutrients to flower A and B they rooted in 5 days. i have read that not feeding mothers for a few days before taking them helps speed the rooting process.

LOL really?

yes that is what a forum is for, and thread topics are started to discuss the questions/comments/thoughts of the original poster, and to stay on topic. new ideas or discussions=new threads. it makes things nice and organized like a forum should be

and like i kindly told him in my next post, its common courtesy, and told him exactly what he needed to do. too often people just come into threads and take it in a completely different direction. so you can suck it

and just FYI you dont "root" clones in flower, i donno what the hell you think you are talking about..

anyways ive said my piece

Great Thread!!! Very good information!!! Im really gonna give this stadium grow a grow!!!

Bearo420, have you tried the stadium grow yet brother... just wondering if it worked out for ya

This setup would also work great with a hydro in-line bucket system. Probably need one reservoir (15 gals ), pump, & air pump for each 10 plants.

Can u go into a bit more detail about the construction of such a setup? Im ready to design a setup similar to that of the Northern Farmer but the soil thing isnt my preferred method. If possible Id rather go hydro. Think you can help?

A good read for sure. Got me thinking.

Well done. I like the simplicity of it all. How do you get in to work on you plants with the lights in the middle like that?

The only draw back here to me is yield and the amount of plants you have to tend to. Plus all the cloning to keep up with a 50-200 plant grow.

The yield numbers from the original thread are high. But its based on a ton of plants. I really really like the simplicity but would probably just assume buy some 4x8 trays and grow some beasts in rock wool with a 4-6oz average per. The initial setup requires more time and money but a 5-8p yield on 24 plants seems like a lot less work than a couple of P's off of 50 plants or more.

I read then entire original thread and the guy can harvest 12-14p's every 90 days but I think with over 150 plants. Ouch.

Strain matters so much in every grow it's crazy.

I looks fantastic all up on the sides like that. Like a nice hedge a $40k hedge.

Dubsfan: I agree with you on the plant count. Seems like alot of work and incredible risk factor in the U.S. But, you can use a stadium with less plants and get higher yields than a flat garden. I'm running two 8footers with 3 600s each. They hold 48 plants each. In a good cycle I get almost 20-25% more than I did with a flat garden.
I'm growing in bags of Promix and hand watering. Alot of people in this thread have talked about watering systems and hydro for use in a stadium. I'm curious if anyone has perfected these yet and are you willing to share your methods?

I would love to do this with a dwc bucket setup. One airpump and 20-gal res and 1000w per 10 plants. But let's face it I have no sac and will never go over my limit lol
