We do have quite a network developed, a true motley krew. I think I am done building, well maybe a few modifications, no more new ones. I have to move a table to get from one side to the other now. I hadn't thought about total plant count til DirtBag brought it up. I guess I do have some capacity. seems like just two years ago I started with bag seeds that I had to put in the field across the street, what a difference, it looks like a greenhouse in here. And my wife can still park her car in the garage.lol Did you all notice CaliGurl's new journal, her clones look awesome, thats what I want, clones like that. VV

They have shelving like that. I did think about it. What is that game called were you have the little 15 numbered squares and one open square....thats what its like now. You have to move three things to get around. They say neccessity is the mother of invention, in this operation they are right. The 2' by 4' table is the right size for the mothers, and if I can get clones ready to go into flowering in two weeks ( a big if right now ) then I can eliminate one table. I have decided on how to do all the reses, been screwing around with that for two years now, solved the bowing problem for $6.50. Total cost for a 39 gallon res with cover, $31.50. VV

I was going to post a pic, then I filled the res first, now it has 39 gallons of water in it, I can't move it out to take pictures until I empty it out. $31.50 is the total cost for the res and lid with the modifiations. Botanicare's 40 gallon res and lid is listed at $111.95 in the 2008 catalog. The table is only listed at $61.95. Soo.. I bought the flood table built a stand for it that the res sits on with casters on the table for less than $40.00. Took picture with my new camera, the software program won't let me have them, and since I took them while I was building it......anyway. It was a lot less work than building one using the pond liner, I wouldn't have even had to put the board around the flood table, it does give me something to hold onto when I move it.
Take a 3/4" pvc x, 2- 3/4" tees, six flat end caps and a 10' length of pipe. Place the x in the middle of the res and attach the 2-tees to it placing them far enough to keep the res from bowing, measure and cut pieces to go from side to side thru the tees and the x, place end caps against the inside and drill and screw thru the end caps, be sure to use a washer around the head of the screw. It look like an HH. Holds the sides steady. I put the top on and let it fill til it overflowed, no bowing, lid stays on. Saves $70.00. VV

It could work, you would have to decide the design. I used lumber originally, don't like the risk of pathogens growing. Most of my tables will run on 30 gallons so this size give me extra room, less pressure on the res, a win-win. The inside doesn't have a lot of nooks and crannies to have to clean. There is one thing I am going to do different on the rest of them. Having the pump line, air lines etc. coming out of the lid is not as convinient as if they came out the sides, could even by above the 'water line'. A flood and drain fitting thru the side may work if I can't find the hose nuts filthy fletch posted. You would have to put the compression side in and the barb side out, might even make it easier to remove the pump for cleaning. Hey, I'm still working on it, its only been two years. Maybe a little silicone around push fittings. Some of us are slower than others lol VV

Soo... a few weeks back I built a table for the mothers and bought a flood tray for it. Then I made a couple of aero cloners and a stand for them. Worked great, clones are not ready for flowering, we knew they wouldn't be, we haven't developed the mothers enough yet so I did some thinking for about 10 minutes. We need to do something with these clones, and take some more clones, I know, lets build another table, this time lets make it a 2' by 4'. That should be big enough for the mothers and then use the 3' by3' for the 2 week old clones.
It has been some work, its done now and when the software lets me I will post the build. I did get some of the neoprene collars for the aero cloner, cut a groove in the side, snaps right in place. We love our mothers, we treat them....uhh like shit, cut off all of the little children and place them here, put the mothers back where they came from, that is it. :twisted: VV:mrgreen::blsmoke:

First batch, lost 5. I think they may have been staying too wet in the cloner. I put a timer on the pumps running two hours on and one off. AND used the Nitrozime I already had, this time I bought the Hydrozime. I just took those clones yesterday, hoping they are getting to the size we need. All but two are standing up straight, there are some big ones there. I am going to the lake for the rest of today, be back tomorrow sometime. VV
