Harvest a Pound Every Three Weeks!

[jc1979]

all depends on your climate, in my basement I do not need AC or chillers so huge cost savings right there. Although in winter growth slows to a crawl because the basement isn't heated.

Hey have you ever looked into these https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005DKN20W/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1... they aren't too expensive and they don't use a lot of energy. I have one in my bathroom(half bath 3Lx6Wx10H) and had to get a thermostat plug in controller for it because it got so hot. $320 for 4 of them and only 400w each panel. I took two 1x2 cut to length of the panel then drove through some countersunk bolts from the back of the board so the threads would come out the front of the heater panel then got some little metal sleeves to fit over the bolt for spacers(the heater needs some space between the wall for the passive air flow) it helps to keep panel from bowing/cracking(ceramic) as it expands and contracts. Ran the boards across the top and the bottom because I needed to find studs but I'm sure they could be on the sides as well when you are driving into concrete.

Wow its crazy to me that this thread was started so long ago, still people are still adding more,and there's so much info here. I just built my first rail style flowering system from the audiobook I found after my roommate pointed me to this thread. Its worth the money too as everything is laid out in a much more accessible organized way than in this thread clones went directly into the flowering system with the timer and lights set as recommended.
However just to have this information in the world for free is great! Id love to support you more somehow @StinkBud

I built my very first DIY systems based on this thread 12 years ago. I wonder, how many thousands of pounds of dank has this knowledge produced? How many fledgling and more experienced growers have gained some mastery of hydroponic growing based on this knowledge? The StinkBud that created this thread now has his knowledge propagated through countless many grows. It's truly a treasure.

hey stink i got a p340 out of a multi lvl water fall system, ive been researching to try and find how many gph it produces, but with no findings. what i did find was a p140 that produces 140 gph. so i assume that it will produce 340 gph. with that said you think it will be enough for you veg unit?

Here i am

Unless you want to get raided by the D.E.A I would not do it because a pound every three weeks will take alot of work.

Ill take the chance. Ty

so funny this post started 13yrs ago and people still posting. Must of been a great post. But who wouldn't like to get a lb. every 3 weeks.

Hi everyone just to expand our knowledge, I been using my pumps outside of the reservoir. I use the eco plus 633 for my veg room and 1056gph for flower. It’s more easier for me to drain/fill the reservoir these way, especially with a room full of plants.

Let me show you some pics, they are better of how to explain my system lol.

You know its an old post because with today's lights and methods of growing yhats not much at all.
I am getting 1.5 lbs. off 3 plants every 4 weeks.

I believe you especially when I flower both rooms. I got 2.5 lbs out of 18 kushberry but my mom skunkberry bud structure was 3 times bigger. I’m pretty sure that skunk berry with everything dial in I could hit 5 lbs or close to it.

Another thing I ran out of mason jars so long story short I stumbled across with these automated curing system. It’s my first try with these method. I think it’s a genius tool for us.

Let me know how it goes, i want to do that too.
How much h product did you fit in a 5g?

I am wondering if you can hook up the inkbird humidity controller, so the air pump turns on and off according to the preset RH% (maybe 55%-70% deadband?)

2 lbs 2oz, I’m using my growtronix timer 6 min on 12 hours off for the first week 63% RH then 6min on 24 off. I had an idea of how to add a humidity sensor in there.
Remember 60-65%rh over 65 you are exposed to mould.

Where did you get the fittings?
I got these but I like yours better

Those are PG9 but you could use PG7, depending of the thickness of the wire or tubing.

Amazon.com : pg9 cable gland

After 3 weeks the best 14 plants move to the veg system.

I use a dual container aeroponic system. The roots grow straight down which makes the plants easy to transfer to the flower room when the time comes.

The plants are under a 250W MH light set to 18/6.

Again, all my systems are on the same timer set to 1 minute on and 5 minutes off. This gives the roots the maximum amount of Oxygen without letting them dry out.

I run this nutrient formula for vegetative growth:

Botanicare Nutrients:
126ML Cal-Mag Plus
180ML Liquid Karma
540ML Pure Bend Pro Vegetative Formula

I start at 1500 PPM and bring it up to 2000 PPM by the second week of veg. I change the nutrients every 3 weeks with each new crop.

I adjust my PH to 5.8

Stay tuned for more...

What type of timer do you use to create the 5-1 time schedule

What type of timer do you use to create the 5-1 time schedule

I use this one https://www.amazon.com/ART-DNE-Hydroponic-Adjustable-Recycle-Controllers/dp/B00I0G3ZA8

It says unavailable on amazon, but there are others like it available. Mine is over ten years old and still works well. I haven't looked around for another one in a long time.

I recommend using a UPS like you would use on your computer. The size would depend on how many pumps you are using. Remember, the pumps only run for 1 minute every 5 minutes so they don't use much power.

A large UPS will keep your plants safe for days. Your ice cream is a different story though.

Of course during any power outage you will always be without light unless you have a generator.

is there a particular brand of lights and wattage that you recommend? do you use a grow tent, and what type, size and etc do you recommend? and last question what type of pumps do you recommend? I've heard a lot of them burn out over time

Those are very open ended questions. There's a ton of info in the RIU forums. Read through some grow journals, and grow room design threads. Decide on your size constraints, budget, and the outcome you want to achieve. Then you can figure out those questions.

I recommend you start in a 3x3 or 4x4 tent. If you've never grown before, once you get larger, it gets harder to keep everything under control.
