im not good at building stuff like this and its also kind of complicated how it works. im even having trouble stopping the thing from leaking never mind building a whole system lol i could never build one
after trying dyna gro im switching back to advanced nutrients 2 part
- Thread starter tree king
- Start date
It's easier then ya think but w.e it will pay for itself soon enough
exactly i dont even think its that expensive overall and i love the system. i think each extension is only like $4-500

here's the 6 girls that are going into flower as soon as i pull those plants out and put them into darkness. schedule is a little off cause these are going in only 3 weeks after i just put 6 other in there. oh well. been pulling them out during the day as i do some work on the tents getting the new 3hp chiller setup and some new toys installed.

thanks DH but that's advanced nutrients buddy. sensi grow 2 part and voodoo juice in veg. connoisseur and a few additives in flower. all advanced nutrients except botanicare cal/mag plus as needed. haven't started any girls on DG yet. still waiting to finish up some things before i start the DG grow and journal. my girls sure do love that advanced though. especially the ones in flower.

hey kamie. yea, those 6 will go under a 600w MH and get veg nutes for the first 2 weeks of 12/12. the 2nd week of 12/12 i give them a little PK boost with some connoisseur part B (1-5-4), maybe 150-200ppm of the overall solution.
i give them just 24 hours of darkness before i flip. a lot of guys don't even do that...they just flip them. i think giving them a small dark period helps kick them into flower a little faster. works for me.

Thanks tree. Gonna be well over 1gpw with this harvest. Can't wait to see aero pics.
yeah def let me know what your final yield is. couple questions, do you do veg time if so how long and how many plants per 1000 watt do you run?

Just depends tree. Sometimes two weeks sometimes two months. Sometimes LST and topping, sometimes trees. I use a 4×4 footprint for 600's and 5×5 for 1000's
i here you on that 5 x 5 for a 1000 i just wish there was an aeroponics system that was similar to mine that was that big. my system is like 45" x 45" i feel like im wasting some space

why not throw a couple real short ones in some soil around the outside? that way you can mess around with them. veg them for like a week or so and then put them to flower. or, if you have a dial-a-watt ballast go get yourself a 600w bulb.
ive never done soil before and i dont want to ever lol. im all set with lugging bags of soil around and plus i would have no idea on where to even start cause i only know about hydro. at my grow spot currently i can only fit 4 lights so if i downgrade to a 600 its not gonna do anything except decrease my yield. i just pretty much wanted to utilize a tiny bit more space but its not that big of a deal

yea, i hear ya. i don't think doing a few soil plants would be that big a deal. get yourself a bag of soiless mix like sunshine. you're only gonna do like 4 plants in 3 gallon pots so you don't need much. no need to get all fancy or anything. just something to play around with. just a thought.
can you string the lights together so that their footprints overlap? that way maybe you could add up all of the extra space and get 1 more setup on the end. know what i mean? instead of 4 setups under 4 lights you could do 5 setups under 4 lights. sounds like you have about 10-12" extra space on every setup. if you bunched them together you could squeeze out another setup at the end. plus, when you string lights together their footprint increases because footcandles are stackable. so instead of 5' between bulbs you could have 5'6" if your lights are in a line.
theres def no room to do that. i have a walk in closet that barely fits 1 light and that ones all set than in the attic i got 3 lights in a row on one of those triangle ceilings and theres no room for any extra setups. theres only room on the width to go wider not longer plus my ac isnt big enough. i hope im explaining it correctly and you understand what im saying the room is only like 160" long
