$0.08/kwh here, hard for me to complain. That does seem very high...

Well the comment was edited but I was going to mention that the "aero" or nft style systems are boss! As long as the electricity does go out they kick everything's ass in terms of speed and yields.

I made mine out of 6 inch pvc pipe cut into 3' or 4' sections and then cut three 3.75" holes in each one. Bought rubber end caps and then ran 1" pvc line with spray nozzles every few inches inside the 6" pipe. It had a drain hole which drained back into the reservoir. I used a 10 or 15 gal tote for a reservoir. It was a super easy build and pretty cheap too, the pump was the most expensive piece besides the rubber end caps. Ordered those from a plumbing supply company for like $30 a pair.

Cheers and hope that system comes together nicely for you. You'll love it.

That was an orphan post from yesterday, I didn’t intend to post it. I built a little “no media” F&D system for about $50 today from stuff I got at D&B Supply and Walmart. It will be 18 plants and fit inside a 3x3 tent with some room to spare. I won’t get to run it for another month or more, but testing today went well.

I've built one similar to that , tried copying the clone and grow 12. Did you put your drains in the pipe or the end cap? I had a problem with the drains clogging.

I can do that in the morning, pretty stoked on it.

I have a new 4x4 tent coming tomorrow, looks like next run will be 4 Huckleberry DeStar clones in RDWC, then I will run the F&D SOG.

I like variety, so SOG makes sense. I will eventually build a flood table to fill the 4x4, getting a proper flood tray shipped here would cost an unreasonable amount, I can cover some MDF with formica on one side and silicone to seal it, paint the outside and make it perfect for my space.

Help. Extremely displeased.

I planted 14 regular seeds from greenpoint. 6 jelly pie. 4 dreamcatcher. 4 cookies n chem. The pack of dreamcatcher was a replacement pack from a pack of GG4 s1's that i had bought and turns out they were fake, bull shit reg seeds. I also planted 3 fem seeds from other breeders. Out of 4 cookies n chem seeds i planted, only 1 sprouted. The other 11 seeds germinated and sprouted just fine. So out of the remaining 11 seeds, 10 turned out to be male. The other one is either female or a hermie. Not positive yet. The fem seeds i ran along side these are females. Is this extremely bad luck? Or is this a breeding issue? Should i even risk wasting more time on running the rest of the seeds i have left? First time running GPS.

I just had 10 of 12 male various GPS packs

It can help with plant count, so you don't need to keep more than 1 mother plant.

I am seriously considering it, it has been my plan all year. When my OBS mom gets stronger she will become the rootstock and I plan to add at least a couple scion strains. If the rootstock and scions are all healthy plants it should not be terribly hard to maintan. And I will call her Tiamat.

Lol, my computer does that all the time. I'll erase the post and move on to other threads etc and then the next it post double. Damn machines.

Edit: see this was a comment I actually erased and it is now here, lol. My old computer never did this.

I put drains inside the tube and ran into roots clogging drains as well. It was actually a pain in the arse. I first had I think a 1/2" drain but had to go up to a 3/4 to allow more space for when roots went nuts. But the rubber caps I bought had metal duct clamps so they were water tight but you could take them off easily. So once a week I would take cap off, clear roots and just to see if things were ok in there. A PITA but worth it when it's your only "job."
