So, I'm comming out of retirement. New setup.

[patrickkawi37]

we set our pots on the concrete...4 quads...20 plants(15gallon)6 1000w lights.It was a jungle in there I tell ya

3.5 per 1k sounds more accurate that's dope . I am trying 10gal this Round. Biggest pots I've tried so far

It's about 15 feet from the breaker to the room. and I want a 5 foot table I don't understand what your saying with the frame a plat form but I would really like to know. please explain

Yes #10 wire will carry 30amps
framing the platform is like framing a wall...screw the plywood to the 2x6 and put some 4x4 legs under the framing or use concrete blocks for the legs...if you are using grow trays you can skip the plywood all together.remember to slope the platform about 1 1/2" to drain

thats exactly what I do. I'm framing a 12foot long by 5 foot wide ply wood with 2 foot legs.

I just cut 50 clones. I think that this train wreck that I got from the club is really green crack, either or is fine

If I'm running number 10 wire and I have a double pole 30 amp isn't that 60 amp?

you need a sub panel with a #10 feeder=black wire & red wire & white wire & ground bare wire.
the breaker is 2 pole...output is 240 volts...120 volt on each leg.

 

[MrStickyScissors]

isn't the auto pilot considered a sub panel or no?

I wouldn't recommend growing any cuts you got from a dispensary or ransoms . Find a grower that you know does well and pay them whatever they want for there genetics

yea that's what I normaly would do, but I have got some good cuts from dispensaries before. I know you can't go by how a plant looks in veg but it looks like it is green crack or train wreck. I'm in northern cali so chances are that most cuts are good. the plant grows nice and bushy with a sativa look to the leaves but it grows bushy and short like an indica.

here we pay 36 cents per kw...so 10,000 watt cost 43.00 for 12 hours x 100 days=$4300
Now we only grow in the green house.

I'd be going LED so fast... lol

 

[MrStickyScissors]

here's a question for all of you. Bare bulb or lenz?

 

[fandango]

Bare in 55 gallon trash cans Sticky...5 ton a/c or 2.....shed bout 30x40 locate in oregon for free cooling
and bitchen pubs and lots of fire wood on up there.

With all the talk of pots and size of pots and shape and how many...

Why not just rows of Rockwool slab in a drip to waste configuration. Keeps roots low to the ground and cool, gives you additional plant height, the delivery is simple and easily programmable, makes next to no noise, uses less electricity and once you have cut the plants down disposing of sheets of Rockwool looks a lot more mainstream than trying to remove large amounts of hydroton or perlite.

I run soil. and all the left over soil at the end of each crop goes in my backyard to grow fruit. I'm a soil kind of guy.

 

[MrStickyScissors]

It's getting there

 

[MrStickyScissors]

So I took 50 cuttings off this out door train wreck plant. It's been a solid 2 weeks no signs of roots. I like strains where I get roots in 7 days. seems like purple strains always root in like 7 days.

 

[MrStickyScissors]

Sick

 

[RockCityCannabis]

looking good. Cant wait to see it once it's put together.

 

[MrStickyScissors]

Took 3 weeks but they rooted.
