Hydroponic Rotational Rotating Perpetual Journal

Here's some pics of the plants in the last minutes of their life. I moved the whole volksgarden into another homebox XL tent to make room for my water farm set up and got busy with that so they ended up staying in the dark for 48 hours.

Here's some of the trimmed pics

sweet man, have you decided on whether you are going to run 2 wheels or 1 yet?

Yup I decided to fill just one right now, I have some tall plants I need to flower out so I needed to use the other side of my XXL tent for my waterfarm. I have a free XL tent I could run the other volksgarden in. I just need to pick up a fan and filter combo and run the exhaust to get that going. I just spent all my money on my new light, 1000 watt dimmable lumatek ballast and a nice huge hood to spread the light so will have to wait a bit to add that.

Will do, was away for a week and half but will take some pics of the full wheel, they stretched about 8" from the light already so I may have to start doing some cutting or tieing soon.

So what happened?

So what happened?

I'll try another run at it after a few cycles, right now I'm using one of them to keep a strain "vault" of mother plants going and it's working great for that . The older one is fucked from rotating for like 5 years, I need to build a new mount for the motor so that one is down for service. I found running my aeroponic system was much more productive using the same ammount of nutes and light and I'm not restricted to what I can grow. I think there is probably a strain that will work in this thing but it's a pain in the ass to find one, I've put at least 10 short strains through this thing and am starting to think I would need to breed one of my own. Auto's would work but I hate auto's so that's never going to happen. I'll use this same thread once I go back to using my wheels to flower, probably won't be until next winter though.

Got rid of em both, tried using them for veg for a while but there isn't enough root space or height. Pretty much back to my last comment, these things are only good for growing auto-dwarfs, and even then you can do better with any other type of garden. Wheels are a gimmick/scam, the only people you ever see defending them are the sales guys and other people that got scammed into buying them and are in denial.

lol thanks for the reply, all thoughts of purchasing one of these has been cancelled, whats your views on vertical growing like heath robinson if you have seen him?
