I've been using a wilma 4 pot, last grow I only put 2 in it inside a 1m tent with a 400w light and pulled 16 oz off the 2 plants, it was my first attempt at a scrogg, the wilma is a good job, dosnt take a lotta work, just top it up about once a week

thats a nice pull of 2 plants i was gona do something along those lines, i've read a lot of good things about the wilma 4 pot system, except the noise level of the pump would you say its loud?

leaning towards the auto pot system, no pumps to go wrong, can still use soil (so no ph'ing or ec'ing just mix n go) ;) but read into it ;)

yeah the no pump is a good factor of the autopot, but apparently the yield of the wilma systems are better. I have been doing so much reading all over the net but there are so many diff opinions lol so i thought id come to good old riu uk growers thread and find out what every1 reccommends the most from here

It's not that loud m8, my 4inch extractor makes more noise but u wouldn't here it outside the room the tents in, the only problem I had was the pump didn't seem strong enough, I upgraded to a bigger pump to get a good flow out of the drippers, since I fixed that I've had no problems. If ur goina go for the wilma m8 u should definitely try scroggin with two plants in it, just filled the screen nicely with only a few weeks veg

hello i have a dr120 tent (120x120) just got a 600w hps will i need a cooltube?

just depends on the temps of the room youve got the tent in, outside temps due to weather and the extraction kit your using and where the out-take ducting leads to. personally ive never used a coooltube and ive had 2 of those tents

blockages in the tubes and valves but that was mostly due to me using various nutes that turned the tank into a witches cauldron. provided you use proper hydro nutes it's a great system. i left mine for 2 weeks while i went to corfu, no bother at all.

i got a series of 1 pots as the 2 together are a bit close. http://www.basementlighting.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=AUTO1B&Category_Code=

if your going that far i'd probably just go hydro, in hindsight.

I bought the maxi jet 1000, the pump that came with it didn't seem powerful enough to get a good flow outta the flood drippers, it just ran down the side of the dripped rather than squirt out, the bigger pump done the trick

The pots can't be moved, there's not a lotta roomfor the plants I don't think that's why I only grew two and scrogged them, u get more scroggin two than u would growin four in there normally. I use the blue drippers with small rockwool cubes and pebbles, the bigger pump definitely gives a better flow, it squirts out both side covering more of the pebbles
