A six months supply of all nutes necessary to support three flower units packed in one box to minimize shipping costs with a reasonable margin may be close enough to the retail at my local hydro hut that, being in a non MJ friendly state, the security of dealing with you may offset any difference in pricing if there is any.

Besides we like giving money to people that we like.
Not the red eyed kid in the hydro shop that's too wasted to bother helping you find the 2" neoprene collars.
2" inch whuuuuuts ???
One flower unit down a few to go. I customized for my space. So I built the flower unit 3 rails of 6sites (18 total) everything is 7inches on center. How tall max before I flip 6 inches? 8 inches? and when is best time to lollipop before the flip while in veg or day 7, 10 etc of flower? Been looking for good Sea of Green thread but no luck. Last time I tried Lolipopping my girls ended up 3 feet tall and only yields 1/2z each
I will post Pic of my Modified flower unit in a day or 2.

Just do a search for recycle timer.
They are roughly $90, but if you really look, you could find it cheaper
Good Luck.
I would love to see your pics. I too, am running 3 post systems with 18 sites.
As for sizing, 6 - 12 inches is the sweet spot for flowering. There is some variation from strain to strain... Strains that only double in size (rare) may be veg'd longer.
There are different schools of thought on this... Here is my humble opinion based on my experiences... Lollipopping is normally an ongoing process throughout veg phase and as late as 2 weeks into flowering. Many mother plants often end up as giant lollipops as cuts are continually taken from lower branches (they root better). iRather than give 'em a buzz cut all at one time, I prefer to remove the lower growth as needed over the course of days and weeks. I feel it is less stressful and allows the plant to defend only one 'injured' area at a time. There is not a specific best time... It will often vary from plant to plant and each one may require repeated snips on different days. The quick starters often need to be topped to keep them from towering over their slower starting siblings. It's all about keeping the canopy uniform on the top and bottom. Just like a haircut, you take some off the top, bottom, and sides. I normally don't lollipop too much - though I do naturally take cuts from the lower growth just before going to flower.
I am currently experimenting with some lollipop supercropped plants. I normally do 18 sites in my 3 post systems... but I have one running just 9 plants. The plants have all been vegd longer to fill the rack out - from the top it is hard to tell the difference between the 9 and the 18 plant version. Funny stuff - I will post some pics of the 'right angles' I have produced! haha

That's f*cking amazing bro!!! I'm thinking about building a grow room to grow my own Master Kush and Ice. What does your setup consist of. Because I'm considering buying a grow tent with a 400w HLS bulb(400 watt ballast), 4" inline fan, an air filter,thermometer and a hyroponic system for around $800 is that too much? I'm trying to grow 20 seeds at once in a Here's the link to the grow tent I plan on buying from ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/400-watt-HPS-MH-GROW-TENT-CABINET-LIGHT-400w-hydroponic_W0QQitemZ180159720185QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item29f25b2af9&_trksid=p4634.c0.m14
I used unions so I can take it apart as needed. The frame is glued together except the where the top rail meets the T's. So I can take off and put different support heights depending on which strain is in the unit. a trellis net will be put across the top. The drain gulley made the final length 8 inches shorter vs letting drain into res. I plan on taking some black/white poly to cover the holes. If the top rails become too lose i will just throw a wrap of electrical or duct tape on the connection points.
O yeah and if I want to grow out some taller bigger plants I just leave the center rail empty and its basically same size as original unit. ( 14 on center vs around 12 of orginal)

I love it! Very nice design. I should put a new section in my forum for SinkBud inspired designs.

I take my veg plants into flower at 8-12". I don't lolipop them much. I only pull off the very lowest stems when I take them into flower.
I use these lower stems for my new cuttings.
Topping your plants and using my method will yield you 2-3oz per plant if you have a good strain.

I have had two recycle timers fail in three days!
I had the C.A.P. adjustable day/nite units.
I love C.A.P. products but I have went to an industrial timer that goes one hour on and one our off.
I have been using this timer for a week and have not noticed any problems. Can someone shed light on why one minute on and five off is the magic time?
The timers were not overloaded. Each one running a 396 pump and that's it!
They were bought at the same time. What, other than load would cause these timers to fail?
One other request: anyone have a good tutorial on topping their plants?
Thanks in advance,
Uncle Milt

He's a good source of info, but occasionally rambles on and off topic.
However he seems like a good dude and his heart is in the right place.
Good Luck.
