Harvest a Pound Every Three Weeks!

I was just doing the math and I'm trying to figure out how you will get 10 flowering out of 9 veg...

You might need to rethink your numbers. Remember, you need three different flower systems to get a perpetual harvest. This is what I would do...

I would build 3 of my small Aero/NFT systems with 5 holes each. 3 on one side and two on the other. Stagger the holes.

Run your veg unit with five holes. One in the middle and one in each corner

Use the last 9 in the cloner. That way you will always have 5 strong clones to go into veg.

You should be able to harvest around 5-10oz. every three weeks depending on the strain you run.

Good Luck Bro!

I've started a ton from seed to put into this system and I've done the following with great success -

1. Germinate seed in wet paper towel with bottom heat.
2. Once seed has sprouted taproot place in either rockwool or soil. (I have done both)
3. After sprout is 2-3" tall place in neoprene collar and set in cloner. The key here is to make sure the bottom of the root is going to stick out from the bottom of the neoprene collar and that the cotyledons are above the top of the neoprene collar so it can get light.
4. Sit back and watch those plants grow like crazy!


Just make sure you check your pH on your res and just follow the instructions on the bottle of clonex. You can also add Botanicare Liquid Karma a 5ml/gallon and Gro Pro at 7.5ml/gallon. If you are using RO water make sure you add some Cal-Mag+ at 5ml/gallon to the res.

Good luck!

Good job DP! The only thing I would add is you might want to try Rapid Rooter Plugs instead of Rockwool.

You can feed seedlings as soon as you have a decent tap root. Start slow (700-1000PPM) and then ramp it up over a couple of weeks.

Just like this photo. 3 of these with 5 plants each. 3 plants on the right fence post and 2 plants on the left. Stagger them so you have more space to grow them big.

Thought i would ask you guys.

Im looking into buying one of those 600 watt 240/volt dual e ballasts. Im no electrician, but beacuse its 240volt, does this mean it has to be plugged into a 240volt outlet? Am i correct that the normal wall outlets here in the USA are standard 120volt?
in which case what would i need to do?

confused.....and thanks

Both of my newer ballasts are switchable between 240 and 120. It only cost about $20 more than the standard one. You just have to buy a different cord is all. Unfortunately I've only seen the dual switchable ballasts in solid state form. Expensive little fuckers.

I'm running 120 now but I'm going to wire my room for both 120 and 240.

They make these really nice breaker boxes that plug into a dryer outlet. They have one cord that goes to your timer and it controls the 240V outlets for your lights. It has four 240V outlets and two 120V for fans and stuff.

That is truly amazing, if I had any money whatsoever to put into a system like that you bet your ass I would. You posted on my one and only post and I wanted to see what you had accomplished with what you were talking about and that is truly a sight to behold. But you've given me some hope now, in case my plant doesn't turn out to be a girl, I'm also helping one of my friends grow and if either of his two plants turn out to be female I can take cuttings and start it off like you have. Thanks alot man.

I forgot to mention when I originally posted that I very carefully remove the sprout from the rockwool or soil and place in the neoprene collar. I've found that a pro-mix/perlite mix works REALLY well if you want to remove the sprout. Super easy to remove the sprout with almost no chance of harming the infant plant.

Hey Stink -

could you do me a favor and talk a little bit about the battery back up that you use?
Also I realize this may be strain dependent to a degree and that you have to keep your plants under 12" due to state law but how big are your plants generally when you put them into flower? I'm assuming you take clones right before you put them into flower unit, correct?

Thanks!

SB great post have been thinking of this kind of set up for a year and has been too afraid. any way you have convinced me I hope I can do it 3/4 as good as you.

One Question: In the flower setup do you put the sprayers directly under each pot?
If so, would it be better /or worse to have a sprayer on each side of net cups?

This thread is helping a ton of people keep up the good work

Incredible Stink!! Such a great idea! Have you thought about making one yourself to save a little money? Like the repeat cycle timer--except it ended up costing about the same (if I remember). I'm not sure how cost-effective it would be.

Froogle that ish and you can find it for ~$236 at a horticulture source online.

Rubbermaids, pumps, and pvc pipe is all available at Home Depot. The misters you will have to order online or get at your local shop. Don't forget your net pots and neoprene collars. PVC pipe is dirt cheap and so are the rubbermaids. The pump is going to be your biggest expense.
