What if instead of moving the lights you could put the plants on a turntable? Seems like it would be much easier especially for smaller farms.

fantastic set up, everything is very clean and straight forward. Suprised you would choose not to use nutes though, it wouldn't be hard to atleast use a small amount of an easy two bottle system. Either way good job man.

Yeah im gonna get all advanced nutes on this next one. Just the flowering nutrients none of the veg stuff. I just really hate mixing all the chemicals. I got a bad back and bending over and picking up huge pails of water really kills me. Anyone got a good idea on how to help with that?

Oh i get a harvest every 60 days next one will be with 32.

Does anyone think i would do better if i used bigger pots and less plants? just curious. I currently use 8" pots.

For real 4 ounces?! Oh im getting a tank then. Those dang controllers are so expensive though. Any good ways to do it cheaply? and i don't want the sugar yeast method.

I like the sugar yeast method. I would also like to know others though. Plants look killer!

For the nutes get a 5+ gallon bucket and use a 1 or 2 gallon watering can or a hose to run to the room, so you don't have to lift 5+ gallons of water then get a water pump that you can leave running in the tank which will mix your nutes for you (put it on a timer if you want) then you will always have aged phed water ready and you just pull the end of the tube out of your water and water directly with that or use it to fill smaller watering cans. It's very simple, quick, and easy. As for the size of the plants It certainly looks like you are not utilizing your vertical space. It appears that you could grow another 6"-1' taller, so I personally think you could get more with some taller plants, I don't even think that you would have to reduce your numbers necessarily (maybe just a few less). Good luck on the next round, keep us posted.

Why does the light rail make a difference?
Imagine having a plant with a light over it an another 2 to 3 feet away that gets maybe some reflective light. The one without is gonna suck but if you get a rail you can cover more space with less lights!:peace:

Soils I buy have nutes. When I use Foxfarm or miracle grow and flower my clones right out of the cloner the nutes in the soil is enuff to give me 2oz a plant. I use tiger bloom now so it's even more. But there is nutes in soil thats how some people ruin there grows. They add more nutes to soil that allready has nutes. If mine took longer then 58 days from plant to pull I would need to add nutes also, infact maybe I do but why ruin a good thing!

Buy soil with nutes!

I flower from clone start to finish in 58 days and use miracle grow soil. Thats all and it has nutes in it. I get about 2oz a plant. I am going with tiger bloom a few weeks in this time. But many people add nutes to soil that allready has a good amount and that can create problems. I might even need a little but why ruin a good thing, If I vegged for 2 months and flowered for 2 1/2 I would need to add nutes for sure. But 2 or more oz a plant every 2 months again why ruin a good thing.

I'm just curious, why did you decide to go with soil and not hydro? Was it just the initial expense and time or some strategy?
