Ttystikk's vertical goodness

[ttystikk]

Hey @ttystikk just curious, isnt it counterproductive of the cannabis community to have a political forum on a cannabis forum? ha ha just fucking with you; I know you like to talk politics so just giving you some shit. I flip over to new posts and sometimes (no alot of times) see this guy called finshaggy spouting all sorts of shit, and I do mean shit.

The great thing about an open political system is that everyone can contribute- and everyone can judge everyone else's viewpoint in light of their own perspective and experience.

There will always be crazy people, wingnuts, buffoons, comedians, rabble rousers, polemics, single issue screamers and the rest. If their voices are at least heard, perhaps they won't feel the need to go on a rampage just to bring attention to their cause.

And at least SOME of what @Finshaggy makes sense. It's open to debate whether it's merely the broken clock (it's right twice a day) or if there more to it.

There was once a crazy guy who wandered around the dirt streets of the gold rush town of San Francisco in the 1850s, spouting all kinds of crazy shit about how someday the area would be home to millions of people (more than lived west of the Mississippi at the time), and that someday there would be a bridge across the Golden Gate. Everyone ridiculed this guy, these ideas were simply preposterous!

I think he is meaning the net pot. Not wick

If this is the case, then set the level an inch below the bottom of the netpot

Yip. They call it a wick down here

Just the answer I was looking for

They may mean 'wicket', or basket. There are substrate systems that use a wicking system to draw up water from beneath. This is different, because you don't want the substrate touching the water in rdwc.

@ttystikk ever have you ever thought about doing some ~25 gallon no till pots in your setup? Once you got your medium like you wanted you would only need a top drip of agua. Just curious

This is a decent rendering of a no till garden:

That would be about right. We are lazy and like to chop the ends off words. Lol

Check em out dude. This is some cool shit

Consider a second hole in each grow bucket, this time right at the maximum allowable height of water. This would also drain to the control bucket and would serve as an emergency secondary. Since it's not ordinarily in use, roots won't be pulled into it.

The line from this upper hole could drop right down to the normal return line, connected with a T fitting. Keep the fitting far enough downstream that roots traveling down the normal drain hole won't clog it, too.

The overflow fitting has saved my ass a few times and also alerts me to any blockages. All my res's have one .

Hmmm. No one wants to know anything about water chilling, or growing three times as much product in a given space, yet still using less than half the power?

I need your help

 

[ttystikk]

I need your help

How may I be of assistance?

I am starting a grow in maine. It is going to be vertical grow with two 1000w hps in center of 12 plant circle. And 6 mobile 24watt LED lights on the outside rotating plants with LED... i plan on having a fan facing upward, in the center on milk crate, and on ceiling, above the lights will have wind guards pushing air to 4 wall fans. I will run one dehumidfier if need be, n have one co2 tank running on a timer. Im going super hydro soil in 10 gallon buckets. Im going there in ten days. And renting with my priorioty being the room. Does this sound legit?

I mean do you think i can pull this off. And the room. How big for most yield with this design

My initial concern is with distances between light sources and the canopy.

You want the plants between 18" - 30" from a hanging bare thouie. Closer and you'll get excess shading, bleaching and burning, further is too dim.

Same issue with the LED panels; there's going to be an effective range. It's likely to be rather different than the HID lighting, which is why I see relatively few successful grows that use both types simultaneously.

Sketch this out again, on graph paper, to scale so you can check your distances.

I want to cost effectively grow 12 plants in soil. I want 15 lbs every harvest. This isnt impossible, i just need direction. I will rent based on design i need. What you recomommend?

Your going to need alot more light.

 

[joeyfatbud]

Thinking this...
One Veg room at 8 week veg cycle. 12 plants vegging. Groups of six and 4 weeks apart.

Then have two flowering rooms. With six plants each. And have 8 week harvests but those groups of six plants (2 flower rooms) will also be 4 weeks apart

Use three 1k lights in each flower room.

I will be going vertical. I am bare light hanging the 1k lights.[/QUOTE]

@joeyfatbud you'll be able to get two or three lamps in a silo, which will get you four plants up to 1.5#, in my experience.

@redi jedi is very right about needing more light.
