Superstoner's new 3 rail, 50gal system, 36-40oz every 2 weeks.

SS what type of light would u suggest for seedlings and also for clones??? Do u top your plants at all???
Your plants are looking great too

Yes portable AC units suck lol. Making system smaller would consist of downsizing rails I would guess lol. My rails are shorter than yours, with four sites but closer together, could see that as an issue as well for over crowding, I guess I'll find out. I think keeping the res on the bigger side would be a good ideal as well. Have you had any issues with your pumps losing pressure? Your using Eco165 right. I had two lose pressure but still pump this spring.

Looking real nice SS. Plants seem to like their new digs!

I do not have a dedicated light for clones or seedlings. Cuttings like very little light so they get residual from the t5 over the vegger.

I use the eco633 for flower units and eco1065 for vegger. Vegger has 32 sprayers, flower units have 11 and 12.

And no issues with them? I'm just about to pull mine apart (sorry 1065 is what I meant) to see why the loss of pressure. But really they are not expensive and have been pretty happy with how they work.

I have only ever used ecoplus pumps and never had one go bad on me in 6+years.

hey SS I just found out about your recipe, and I'm looking to build the system, and use ur recipe, is there anywhere where i could find the step by step for construction, and the formula for nutes u use and PPM's for your res,

Thanks bro for sharing your knowledge

hey man, its really not that hard to build just from looking at the pics.

the lengths of the tubes should be 45+ inches and the space between plant sites should be atleast 15 inches apart. Less plants is more .DO 3 plants a rail max. Build your pvc supports to be higher than the 50gal rez, elevated higher on the rear end.
Its really not that hard. you can refer to stinkbuds tutorial for reference, PM me is you need them.

That looks so similar to what I got but at day 30.

cheers

Ss I'm going to run to of these units but with only two rails a piece in a 8x4x8 closet would you recommend two 1000 watts or can I pull at least two zip per plant with 600 watts ? Thanx

Depends how many plants. But off of each system. If you have 1000 watts on it, you should get atleast 1 pound and you can work your way up

I use 25-30 watt 6700k fluorescents on top of each cloner, but my cloning systems are in a different location than veggers

Oc, do me a favor and don't jack my thread again please.

SS If you get a chance could you answer my question from above I was looking for your opinan on the lights not ocean greens ...thanx

Have you noticed a difference between insulated and non insulted rails re growth and temp difference?

I have always used 1000w lights but in that size I would probably do 600 because of heat mainly. If heat is not an issue then 1k

40'z every 2 weeks? Crazy. I haven't logged on for awhile but I had to for this thread. The community is lucky to have a guy like you SS.

I'm guessing no noticeable temp changes on insulated /non-insulated rails? I think I'll insulate just for piece of mind. Either way you're doing everything right by the looks of things. Props.

Can't wait to see the next updates bud.

With the insulated rails its hard to compare plants because I have so many strains. But I'm waiting until harvest to compare roots
