Hey Stinkbuds,
finally finished reading all of it. I started framing my room in my basement last week and have bought everything to begin(minus lights). This is all some awesome stuff. What got me interested is that I have been remodeling a friends house and he is a mmj grower and card holder. But he has been a dirt guy. He just got an ebb and flow system and I started to research it for him for the proper setup. That's when I came across this site and this thread. I've told him about the results you all have been getting but he doesn't believe it's possible. So I decided I'll just have to prove it to him. Funny thing is, I don't even smoke! I just love a good challenge.
The one ? I have is for Bigtimeroofer. Back in the 600's I think you said you took the filters off of your pumps and the res's have stayed cleaner? How is that working?

BTW nice site Stinkbud, you have another member now.

Hey SB, I just bought 5 Grape ape, and 5 SFV og kush babies in 2 inch rockwool. I cut most of the rockwool off so i could fit them in the 2 inch net pots. I made sure i didnt cut the roots off. Should they be fine in the aero vegger and not get to damp? Thanks again Stink bud Peace!:joint:

OOh yea and for sum reason my cloner didnt work very well last time i tried using it. but I made 20 new strong cuttings from the 10 flowering plants i have wen it was a week or 2 in flowerin and put them into the cloner 7 days ago and one of the babies is wilting over Im going to take the ten best out of the 20 clones and transfer them to the veg in 3weeks. I'm using plain tap water in the cloner system and with the new veg babies i put in 2days ago im using plain tap water also with 2 cfl lights above until i receive my 250 mh i just ordered and i was just wondering wat everyone is using for there new reservoirs? i saw a few pics of Blue tubs, im using the smaller 18 gal ruffneck that the plans said to get first.. but i want room for more clones and veg wat shuold i use? wen you say transfer every 3 weeks do u mean at the begining of week 4 to move them or the beginning of the 3rd week? jw cause i get confused with that.. haha.. i had one harvest but i never transfered any other plants into the flower room the first time because the cuttings i took never rooted and rotted,I made a mistake with that my first time..I used 2 600 hps lights to flower so far and i got 5 o's frm 7 plants.. i think i have to line my lights up better. Now i have my 1st flower unit at starting week 4 and i moved the veg into the second unit today, after 3 more weeks ill have the room full. I'm starting to get the hang of it but confused at times.. once i get my 250MH light i should be able to yield more because the veg plants i put in there are 6" because i was using CFL. So i have 20 babies in the cloner, 5 OG & 5 Grape Ape in the veg. 9 ladies in the 1st flower unit starting week 4. 7 ladies in the 2nd flower unit at starting week 1 cause three ladies died. Then i move the veg into the 3rd flower unit.... Its been along time since ive been on here because i dont have the internet at home anymore and i wish i could keep up!! -Thanks again Stink!- U DA MAN!!- Salad SMOKIN!~

Great mod, Donk! Simple, yet ingenius. That's the best design I've seen for a 3 rail system. And it still makes a great 2 rail system! Hope you'll come over to Stink's new website and post up your mod's and maybe show and tell us more.:peace:

Donk said:
Ok here is my customized version. The Rails are 7 inches on center. I am gonna use a eco plus 633 pump. The Bottom is spaced 20 /14 inches apart so I can fit either a 18gallon rubbermaid, a GH 20 gallon or Botanicare 20gallon res under the unit.

Hey dagobaker,
Have you noticed any problems using the 15on 15off?

I used one timer to each pump and have had four fail. I am now going 1 hr. on and 1 hr. off. No problems yet!

ive been running 10$ wally world heavy duty outdoor type timers for 8months
15 on and 15 off
but......im slowly buying surge protectors with timers built in and ill be slowly changing over to the cap. 1 on 4 off timers....since im also buying usp 300 watt battery backup units and figure they will run longer with that lesser time

i am not using this system yet. but plan to in the near future. do u use seperate water chillers for each flower unit

I would think you would have to, unless you don't mind changing over the tubes, so you kind of rotate the chiller to each unit cooling it down then moving on to the next reservoir.

Donk - the way your reservoir is set up, wouldn't you get sediment gathering at one side of the reservoir as it looks like your pump is right under the fence post water exit? Would the nutrients circulate or settle in corners of the reservoir?

Just thinking. :)

Ive been running the veg and cloner 1 on 6 off . My flower unit at a dif location cause of space. My flower though has been on 15 min on & 15 min off. Seems to work fine but I see more lush faster growth and nuit uptake in the 1 on 6 off side. I think it may be better If I put a time delay on after a cheap wally world brinks $8 timer so when it kicks on it doesnt run for 15 min, lets say 2 min or 1 min then back of for the remaining 13-14 min, plus the 15 min off the normal off cycle. Giving it like 38-39 min off. If that made any sense.

But again I do agree the 15on 15off will work fine.:joint::joint::joint:

why waste your money on so many timers? build a contacter box using an a/c 110v 30a contacter with 2 or 3 poles. you could run 15 pumps on one timer because it only takes a little draw to engage the contacts and never stresses the timer

Could you please let us know how to make one? Maybe with a step by step and parts to buy. It save lots for many of us.

Thanks
