my 3 stages of flower

That doesn't make sense.

Yeah, I'm confused too????

Sometimes reading the things people write I feel like I'm a teacher deciphering paragraphs from kids. lol. No offense to nameno. Probably having a morning session. lol.

Question for SS though. Have you ever tried or looked into the general hydroponics 1/4hp/1300gph inline pump they use for their system's ? There about 130 so the same price as a mag drive pump. Both seem to put out the same amount of water at the same head height though. I'm curious if the 1/4hp pump just keeps up the pressure where as the mag drive losses pressure.

pump here

Thinking of building 2 super vegger for a total of about 50 plants in total. So I can pull the best 40 for a vertical flooded tube I have in the works now. lol.

Just built another cloner. I tried to do a external res so it was all open air in the cloner tank but I was having issues with the water draining back through the 1/2in so I need to go to like 3/4in or even an 1in would be good for sure.

Nothing special but a pic of it.



Edit: Just to point out I run my cloner 24/7 with no issues. Not to start any debate either. I feel like I could keep it on the CAP timer but keeping it running keeps the res water warm for them.

Don't know about that pump other than lots of heat. The eco 1056 is only $40 and.puts more pressure than my super vegger needs.. I would just use 2

I was just curious is all. I thought you were going to go inline as well ?

If anything I might try a mag drive but I have a 1300gph eco pump kickin around I can use for now. Id use the eco pump inline but there just so loud outside of water that it sucks. lol. I used to use them totes for just a four plant aero scrog to pull a pound a month. I did this a long time ago when stinkbud's plan's were the only ones around and I just went off that like you. Shit he didn't even have a site up or anything at that point. lol.

Still doesn't.lol.

lol. I heard that but I haven't really looked back into any of that. Seeing its just old news. I think of it as base plans more or less for anyone to go off. He started building and selling the buckets and that was the last I really followed. lol.

It's all so self explanatory with a little experimentation and ingenuity you can just make what ever works for your situation.

Your op is very well thought out and set up though. Still in the process of getting everything going myself again. I seen you make and sell those colored collar's as well. I'm going to have to grab your paypal sometime in a pm so I can order some. Ive been using that herb IQ program and its pretty useful some stuff is repetitive or useless but to keep track of different plants and their progress its pretty nice. Pretty well thought out and programmed.

Well, like anything, the goal is to get better!! I just put BY FAR the best set of plants I have ever grown into flower!!! The cool thing is that I know exactly what I did to get them there which, and to be honest, that makes me a little horny!!! Soooo, I'm off to celebrate with a good ole fashion jerkin of the gerkin

Are you horney, baby?

Well, I was but, then I cleaned a veg rack and put plants in it! That will kinda get ya out of any good mood 9 of the Orange Bud seeds pooped, grew some roots and are now in a cloner

Very cool. I will go through my seeds tonight and pick a strain.

Hey guys, I have a lighting question.

First, off my flower room is going to be 9.5 'x 5' and I am planing to run 3 - 49" 3 rail setups to contain 12 plants each.
Second, I already own 2 - 600w dig ballasts and a 400w dig ballast with both bulbs for all.

My Question is: Would you guys buy another 600w and run all 3 hps and the 400 mh, or start over and go with something totally different like just 2 - 1000w hps?

Also what hoods would you recommend to go with the setup you would choose? I plan to put a 1.5 - 2 ton mini-split air conditioner in there as well.

Thanks in advance for the reply's and opinions!

I would always go with 1000 watters as long as you can cool the room!!! People seem to like the Blockbuster hoods. My biggest question is, how you gonna move around in the room??? 49 inch rails in a 60 inch space

That's close to my room size and my rails are a little longer, I move around in it by doing my ninja acrobatics.
1000 watters. And blockbuster's will be perfect.

Oh yeah, Happy Valentines Day bitches hope ya all get layed

The sealed room is gonna be 9' x 9.5', but the grow space will be 5' x 9.5' leaving me 4' x 9.5' to work in and house my 1/2 hp chiller and res, lp tank for the mini-gen, and whatever else I'm not thinking of at the moment.

I know you said a while back that you are using parabolic hoods so do you think 2 of these with 1000w would be better than the Blockbuster as I don't think I will need to air cool the lights: http://www.plantlightinghydroponics.com/sunlight-48-inch-parabolic-reflector-white-p-3570.html

Thanks again for the reply's!

Still smoking the after cigarette and feeling like a glazed doughnut.

Unless you have at least 10 foot ceilings do not run parabolic.

nope mine is slanted and goes from 6.5' - 8' in height so I guess those are out.
