beautiful system I will definitaly look into this areoponics system, How would it work out if I just use the vegitative system for all three stages (cloning, veg., and flowering)..

Ignore the title of the comment I was having a tard moment {-:]

I am looking to make a hydroponic setup the same as yours with a propogator and then transfering them to a aeroponic system after vegetative. I am making the same system but using a eb and flow model versus the nft so the pump isnt constantly running. my problem is making the aeroponic system i have nothing to use for the channeling if i had 8" pvc i could cut the site holes and put 5 or 6 inch netted pots inside.any suggestions of anything i can use besides 8" PVC for the channeling where the plants will be held? or do you know anygood place to get 8" pvc :) thanks man and thanks for the thread it has been helpful.

Right on, I'm doing a small scale version of your setup. My rules for growing in my area are more strict than yours I'm afraid. Only 12 immature and 6 mature. So I can only have 1 flower cycle going at one time. Which basically means to start I'll go 3 weeks cloner, 3 weeks vegger, then takes some clones from my vegger back to the cloner and flower those bad girls. But since the flower process is like 9+ weeks, my clones will go 3 weeks, then into veg where they will have to sit for 6 weeks approximatly.

Will a 6 week long veg be a problem? I'll prolly have to keep trimming em to keep the size regulations down, but is over-vegging a problem? And should I still change the res on my vegger overy 3 weeks?
Do yourself a favor and only build two systems (veg & flower). Take clones when you move the plants to the flowering unit. A longer veg cycle only means bigger plants/harvest.

Also, someone was looking for the PDF:

Because I have a feeling they may be having a big piece of humble pie.

Every time I put my plants into flower I wonder how the fuck they are going to get as big as the girls next to them. Every time they do...

If you have enough light your plants will take off over the next three weeks and grow enormous!

Are you flowering yet? If you vegged them for another two weeks you could double your harvest. If you need medicine now then go ahead and flower them.

In your case a small amount of patience will pay off big time in the end.

Looking good Bro!
ya gonna veg for at least two weeks i riped those girls out of dirt washed the roots off really good and threw directly in the stinkbud system ya cant wait i have medcine so im okay i too have a medical marijuana card

*Slaps self on the head* Now why didn't I think of that, don't build unnecessary things when your blazed. :joint:

On the bright side, I have an extra pump now for backup :)

Same for me. I have multiple patients I provide for that's the only reason I can have more. I'm always careful to stay within State laws though.

As long as harvesting a whole shit load of bud is not a problem then you are ok. You will most likely get blisters on your fingers from all the trimming though. Where rubber gloves.

And should I still change the res on my vegger overy 3 weeks?
Yes.

I'll definatly just get some cheapo wally lights with cool whites. But I don't think I'll go 24/7 because they have to Veg for such a long time I don't wanna have to trim the plants every couple of days.
Clones like 24/7, run just two shop lights instead of three to keep growth to a minimum.

Some strains will need some extra time anyway. My Blueberry grows slow but produces the best buds ever. If I keep it in my veg unit an extra 3 weeks the plants get big enough to produce a decent amount of nugs.

My veg unit holds 18 plants but I only need 14 to go into flower each harvest. 4 plants always stay behind in veg for a total of 6 weeks. I've never had any problems what so ever doing this.

These are the plants that I get the most cuttings from. They also end up being the biggest plants in flower.

The 4" PVC we are using is fence post material. I don't think they make an 8" fence post.

That would be one big mother fuckin' fence though aye? Good for keeping jumping elephants out of your garden.

Hey Stink, what would you say is better, 3 600 watters or 2 1000 watters? I'm not sure my room/electrical can support 4 600 watt lights but thought having 3, 1 over each system might be better than 2 1k lights. Ps, the stem on my best DP BB seedling is almost a dime in width and just now showing her pre flowers! She looks to be the best mother of my seeds. Also, the Jack Herer is looking very strong aswell, the plants thrive in this system. If I get any Male JH i'm going to cross it with my BB and make some tasty hybrids!

I have 3 600s in my room now,, it will work but the plants in the center grow taller then the ones on the end. I am picking up the 4th in a couple days. 4 will make everything grow even. My room wouldnt support 4 either so i had to run some 12 gauge extension cords from my room to the other side of the house..

happy growin.

I have already posted all the plans, instructions, photos etc...
https://www.rollitup.org/hydroponics-aeroponics/116859-harvest-pound-every-three-weeks-75.html

Eventually I'll draw up some plans for my experimental 6 hole unit when I get some spare time.

Right now It's dumping and I'm spending my weekends knee deep in powder.:hump: Yesterday was unfuckingreal bro!!!!

Yeah I know my bad, tard moment, amazing details/concept I'am itchin to give this system a try.
Thanks :clap:

ok stink i get the entire concept of your hydro setup that pvc fence post is a brilliant idea i was going to do bigger neetted pots ina 8" PVC but as in your setup with smaller sites and no grow medium i can have more sites for optimumn yield. I have a purple kush mother along with white rhino, white widow, blueberry, and purple haze I want to get alot of strains growing and i read about your process of taking clones in veg to not have to have mothers this is a great idea which i hope to utilize. Well time to set up this room growing super silver haze and thai super skunk in soil and i must say fuck soil im going to hydro. thanks for the help stink :)

Sheeeesh!!! I am dying to go but I can't find lodging for under $300/night. I've tried Vail, Taos, Tahoe, Mammoth, even Vermont (yech, I hate eastern "snow"). If you know of a good (i.e. reasonably priced) place, please let me know!!

i used to live in Reno, they haev Mt. Rose which is not bad, decent size, good snow, and other good mountains arent too far away... Some of the casinos were going under so i bet lodging would be pretty cheap this year
