I've got to humbly disagree. A stadium grow is akin to a Northern Farmer type deal, where there are angled racks and plants are differing lengths from the bulb(s) in a V shape. A Coliseum grow is where there is a cylinder of plants stacked on top of each other, equidistant from a column of...

You come across as the biggest troll I've ever seen on a weed forum (and that spans about 15 years of checking out forums). Please start your own thread so we can see how you and your master pods grow the dankest (with pics, if you wouldn't mind) or shut the fuck up. I clicked on this thread...

You don't necessarily need a bare bulb................a vertical cooltube can pull some pretty high numbers as well ;) And a stadium grow isn't as efficient as a proper circular VSOG (think "Coliseum" or "Cage")...........with some stacked 600s even a shitty grower could pull of some decent yields.

Al, you've already written the book - just need someone to compile your posts and edit them to be a proper manuscript :) Glad to see you around and hope all's well with you and yours :) Also Al, I need to veg my clones for about 10 days before flowering because I don't cut those monstrous...

Why only 13 posts? If using 22.5s in your base, you should be at at least 15 (I'm at 15 and am debating creating a new base with 16 columns so I can squeeze six more plants in..........have 90 ATM). Dirthawker, looks great.............and yeah, HP aero in 4" tubes doesn't work so hot ;)

I bought a Vertitube from Octagon Hydroponics (ran me about $1K). 4L600 holds 4 600s.

It's *kinda* dialed.........best (last) run was a smidge short of 5 lbs, worst run was 4 lbs (that was my first run and it was HP aero and I was using all 2400 watts)........shooting for 5.5 lbs this run. Pretty sure I can get to 5.5+ (goal is 6) pretty consistently. Always more dialing to do...

Speak of the devil :) There's four 600s in a custom cooltube in the middle, but only three are on at one time (the combination changes hourly for a light-mover type effect without the added electricity consumption or complexity).

Assuming a 60 day flowering and your forty days of veg (total cycle of 100 days), you're turning over (365/100) = 3.65 crops a year @ 4 lbs per crop = 14.6lbs. per year. Assuming a 60 day flowering and my ten days of veg (total cycle of 70 days), I'm turning over (365/70) = 5.21 crops per year...

I know I'm in the minority, but I much prefer using cooltubes over running bare bulbs. Easier to cool and safer (IMO).

That thing's an overpriced piece of shit, IMO.

If you're happy doing what you're doing, then we're all happy - don't see the point in giving advice to someone pulling anywhere from 15-25% more weight than you with 10% less wattage and a sliver of the veg time that you use, but I do appreciate the thought. I'm gonna keep doing what I do...

4-5 pounds usually, shooting for 5.5 this round. 1800 watts of lighting (4 600s, only 3 on at any one time).

I flower out 90 plants in my structure and keep 8 moms............save for the last two weeks of every cycle (when I've taken clones for the next cycle), I leave myself one plant of federal wiggle room :)

I don't make any money vegging. VSOGs all day, every day.

Why would you want your plants to touch the tubes? Or even come close? That means your canopy management sucks, IMO...............I use "fooltubes" and for my application, they're perfect. Nothing against bare bulbs, but running four stacked 600s, I LOVE my cooltube. YMMV.

You're gonna need to know (have a range, at least) how often those misters are going to be firing, and you're going to need Atomizer to do that math :)

Patience. And persistence. Didn't look at the links but a 27 gallon "pod" (I really hate that fucking term) with 18 misters sounds ridiculous. Everytime I think I've kicked the habit I start reading one of these threads and start pricing out my AA setup..............fuck youz guys :)

After lots of looking, the Extol (or something like that) tanks were the only ones rated to 150psi that I could find on the American side of the Pond. As far as solenoids, Valves4You (again, or something to that effect) on eBay has all the solenoids that I've used (I've used lots, for standard...

Atomizer, I want you to put out a plug and play HP system.........that'd be tits :) Hope things are well.....
