Here is what im thinking. I bought another 120 site ez-cloner. I have 4 mom plants looking beautiful as ever. Here is what im thinking.

I'm going to do 3 individual banks of 66 plants each so a total of 198 plants with 18 600 watt HPS. 2 400watt hps over the moms.

Here is my plan, tell me what you think. I'm going to veg the clones in the aero cloner for 2+ months, then load all 200 holes with plants, and veg for 2-3 days maybe less depending size of plants, because they have pretty much vegged in the aero cloner but no more then 3 days.

Take cutting off the moms put them in the cloner, flower about 55 days, harvest and clean in 2-3 days. I should get 20 pounds, and then drop the clones in the pots veg 0-3 days and boom... over and over again.

This way will save me alot of time. Can anyone give me ideas on how to improve this?

Thanks, I will start the build at the end of July.

Thanks, Comercial.

I'm interested in this for sure. What kind of lights are you going to veg the clones under? How big is your space? What's allowing you to consume that much power? Your idea sounds super promising.

Full of shit? with 18 600 watt HPS? You guys obviously havent read the threads on my other grows. Second 5k for power? Your way off.

I did 155 plants with 15 600watt hps and my bill was only around $500 and thats with A/C running in July.

Anyone have real advice?

thanks.

Room I think is 20x24 ish. Keep using the T-5's for my aero cloner's. What's allowing me to consume that mush power? I'm not sure what this means...I guess because im going to pay my power bill ontime. I have 2 other friends with 20 light set ups that live near me, and they have ran for 2-3 years always paid there bill ontime and there has been no problem to date.

I will keep you updated.

Well... that's awesome. The 8x600 in the apt in intense. I'm thinking that in 3 harvests, I can afford to do 6x600 with co2. I'm thinking of putting 64 plants in 6" containers on each of 3 4x4 flood tables. If I can use power like you're talking about you use, I might get 3x600 for each table instead of 2. Or maybe 2x1000 for each table. I'm extremely interested in watching you put this set up together. I can't seem to find any of your other threads. I'm going to search some more now.

edit: I'm an idiot. I just found the part of the advanced search that I needed to be using.

Thanks man, I will try really hard to document this one often, maybe even do kinda a step by step on building the hydro. It's hard to balance life,work,building these grows... ect...

I'm glad your starting another all out hydro grow. Should be pretty rewarding considering the 20 pounds.
What nutes are you currently using?

20lbs out of question,more like 200lbs, a pound a plant is easily acheive especially with hydro.

the smell would b hard to get rid of,but u got it under control,since u did 166 in an apt.

I was doing all organic with botanicare pureblend pro with roots organics trinity as my catalyst and liquid Karma.

But I'm going to us General Hydroponics line this time. Not that i was not pleased with my organic set up. But GH yields a little bigger.
