Yes.

Here are some root photos so you can see what to expect.

The first photo show the roots at 3 weeks. The second photos show what the roots will look like at 8 weeks.

The big plants are over 4ft. tall. This is as big as the roots will ever grow.

So far I've never had any problems.

Thank you Stink, much appreciated
i am considering a 5" posts for the final implementation
i think it will allow more room for large roots/plants
still going to run the 2" net pots, with added space for the sprayers
also looking for a more sturdy res unit, so i can run more then 1 gallon per plant
i come up to 1" below the posts with 12 gallon in the res
the res is stretching from the weight of the water.
i saw at home depot something called Strong Box for $16
its a 27 Gallon, rated for 700lbs and is extremely sturdy
(personally tested, jumped on top with the lid on, didn't budge)
its a much lower unit, comes completely in black
i didn't pick one up cause they were out of the one size larger i was looking for
whats your thoughts on that?

Will they cut it for you? I got the guy at Lowes to cut mine so I didn't have to mess with a hacksaw.

I don't know but I doubt it. I used a hacksaw to slice up my posts.

The other interesting thing I picked up last time at Menards is a 14 gallon Rubbermaid tub. Rubbermaid makes 18s, 14s and 10s...all with the same footprint and lid. I'm using a 14 under my flowering system to gain a little clearance for changing reservoirs, etc.

Since the roughnecks aren't needed for the flowering system, I'm checking out other containers to see if I can fit 2 flowering setups side by side in my tent.

ok im very confused about the cfm rating on filters. does the cfm rating mean thats all the air that will pass thru no matter what? or does it mean thats what they recomend for best results? i have a 4x12 activated charcoal filter that is rated at 220 cfm. i have a seccond one i will be installing today. ok now my exhaust fan is about 550 cfm and same with the intake, im wondering if im going to screw something up like the filter or fan if im pushing too much air. :wall:
Click to expand...
CFM is the cubic feet per minute that the fan can move - so a fan rated ar 450CFM could move 450 cubic feet of air out of your room per minute - barring any restrictions - such as ducting and filters... say your room is 10 x 10 with 8 foot ceilings - that is 800 cubic feet - it would take a 450 CFM fan a little less than 2 minutes to exchange the air in this room - without any restrictions... ducting and filters decrease the effective CFM of your fan... by how much? Hard to say... a 45-90 degree turn can cut air transmission up to 50% or more... long runs of ducting, and filters, also eat in to your effective CFM. While there must be a mathematical way to calc what you need - it always seems to come down to trial and error! Whew - I just had to vent!

So... unless you are doing a really long run of ducting - your 220 CFM filter will not be sufficient... but the size of the filter depends upon the size of the room and how much filtration you want. The CFM rating on filters is how much air can pass through and be effectively filtered... more air can actually pass through but filtration will be diminished. Ideally you want to be able to exchange all the air in your room in 5 minutes or less....

Stink I am sooooooo tired! There is no way I am harvesting alone next time. I may even have a blister.

Finally finished harvesting the rest of the first batch. Flushed for two weeks and (even though a couple weren't completely finished) they were starting to die and reabsorb the THC glands...? At least, the larger fan leaves aren't as covered in trichs as they were before.

Anyway, good news--looks like I hit my target goal of 4oz :blsmoke:

These have been hanging for 4 days--can see them in the third pic with different color. Geez! I thought I was halfway done with those first three plants.. I was way off! It probably has taken a good 6-8 hours total trim time.

oh yeah--these are still all blue cheese.

Hey Stink. Do you think I could run two of these under a single 600w lamp so I can at least run your system on a 4.5 week schedule instead of once every 9 weeks or should I get a second lamp?
Click to expand...
I would recommend a 1000W if you are going to only have one light and want to run 2 systems.

A 600W would work fine though. 2-600s would be best though.

I've seen those black strong boxes you are talking about. They would work well for a res. It also helps to be black.

Those buds look dank as fuck bro!

I feel your pain! Even with someone helping it takes me all day to trim.

I just pulled a Blueberry plant that was done and it took my wife and I over an hour just to trim one plant!

This batch is looking like 2oz per plant. Holy shit it's going to be the biggest harvest yet! The AK47 cola is the size of my arm, I shit you not!

I'm harvesting and trimming my AK47 and Snowbud this morning.

I leave enough leave material on the plants to keep them alive. That way I can let the other plants finish and I don't have to trim them all at one time.

It also lets the smaller popcorn buds finish. Not that it really matters because they always end up bubble hash anyway.

Anyway, I know this may sound weird but I feel like a proud father and my kid just got an award!

Great job rep and thanks for making me look good. I need all the help I can get;-).

Hah! And I'm just as proud you commented on my project :) Thanks! I can't wait to get your issue of High Times--any idea when it hits the shelves (do they come out 1month in advance)? I want to get a copy before it sells out!

ps - caused my first flood today! It was awesome. Especially since I have those bigger pumps.. the 633's :) Emptied the rez damn quick :neutral: though I bet the 396 would too.

On the plus side--I already dried and tried the early finish'ers--simply amazing. I'ver never had organic produce taste different than regular, but organic bud is the shit! I'm fairly positive nobody I even know has had bud this good before :weed: I know I haven't!
Click to expand...
It's hard to explain taste. I've been all over the world many times and have tried many of the best buds from Nor Cal and Hawaii. I've been smoking for over 35 years. Never have I tasted better weed than my organically grown weed.

I also donate a lot to patients and they all say the same thing. It's not just a little bit better, it's night and day.

The one theme that you will see over and over again is how good the buds end up tasting. Every person that harvests here will tell you the same story.

Your weed will taste the best and everyone else will agree. They will take one hit and be amazed. In a few minutes they will just sit there drooling in a comatose state.

Your right, Organic is the shit!

Hey Repvip-those are super sweet looking blue cheese buds. Are they Barneys or Big Buddah blue cheese? The reason I ask is I got my fence post loaded with Barneys BC and I also have some Big Buddahs BC's recently started.

What happened? Did you forget to close the valve?

I almost did that last week for like the third time! Right as the pumps came on I realized the valve was still open!:wall:

Of course is wasn't hard to figure out because the water caught me right in my crotch! It was cold as fuck too!

It ended up looking liked I pissed myself!:dunce:

I wonder if all the nutes will help my dick grow? Hey, I can dream can't I?:lol:
