yup 2 1000w's going to use the hydrofarm raptor reflectors upgading to 4 4x4 flood tables and going to have light movers it should be very interesting!! what size tables you going with??
I bought a single 4x4 for now. That sounds like a killer setup you have planned out!!

That dwc plant in beautiful!

very nice should be able to get some good plants in there 4x4's are nice and big
I bought an 18 gall res, and then switched from the cement trays to the 4x4 and now have to exchange the res for a 45-50 gallon one.
thanks she is growing by the day running out of room height wise lol.
That plant makes me wanna try a single DWC just for fun now too...lol maybe When My moms are big I will put them in those. My moms are just baby clones as of now though. They are in soil, is it possible to move them from soil to a DWC later?

haha ya man i just did this one for kicks i actually got into it with a guy on here who grew large plants and thought he was the shit for it so i thought to myself it would be fun to see it from his perspective so thats what i did lol. and for the moms you can transplant them but if they are large plants when you do they might not make it through the transplant.

Ok I wont wait too long to transplant them then, Actually one of my clones came in dirt instead of rockwool, which I think is weird,

ya when i started i had a couple of friends that where growing like 6 plants in soil outdoors with good genetics and they where failing miserably so i couldnt stand seeing those genetics go to waste so i adopted them transplanted to hydro then babied them back they where already flowering at like 6" tall from the time of year lol so i re vegged them till i could take some clones and threw them in flower. they flowered out very nicely. so thats what im working with still. are you buying clones or what.

Yeah I get clones from a local club. They get the clones directly from Blue Sky Cafe in Oakland. I bought GDP and Bubba Kush so far. I might ass Blue Dream Afgoo Mango and Hindu Skunk. I get a 10% discount there, and free gifts when I go. Last time they gave me a gram of Hash with my 2 clones. $23.50 out the door.

wow. i stopped in because of your comment on my thread and i must say thats a nice grow. very squeaky clean! i know you have many pages on this thread and you probably already covered my questions, but its difficult to read thru all 12 pages so im sorry if you already covered this... what size are the pots youre running in your system? and are you running clones/seedlings straight into flower? i ask because your 11 plants that are in the one 2x4 tray dont look space restricted and look like they get plenty of development. my current set up is almost identical in aspect to spacing and lights. i use single 400's with multiple 70-100 watt verticle hps's though. the issue i started my thread about was not getting the right ratio of pot size to per plant yield without the plants being really restricted on lateral growth.

if you dont mind me asking, whats your average yield per 2x4 tray? i ask because instead of running dwc (which kills on nutrient costs and the hassle of draining/cleaning the reserv.) i may just mimic your set up in pot size and plant numbers. thank you!

the pot sizes are 6x6x7 and they hold one gal of medium i was vegging for 2-3 weeks but have since stopped vegging and just throwing freshly rooted clones in flower so they dont get so tall 1 1/2 to 2' max with a single cola plant this will allow me to increase my plant numbers and yield as well i have only been getting about 3 to 4 oz every 4 weeks off of 11 plants but most of the lower branches werent producing dense enough buds so this is why im switching to no veg time and increasing plant numbers to 20 per tray still dialing in the room almost there

so i decided to make a DWC cloner today so i did it cost me about 30 bucks and i used neoprene inserts instead of net pots it was really easy to make but we will see how it works just running ph'd tap water at 5.5.

Great work as always! I am looking forward to seeing how that cloner does for ya. I am growing my mothers now and will need a way to clone in a few months. I just got myself a veg light 2day .

So after they get good roots they go into the hydroten in pots for veg?
