sweet man, have you decided on whether you are going to run 2 wheels or 1 yet?

Yup I decided to fill just one right now, I have some tall plants I need to flower out so I needed to use the other side of my XXL tent for my waterfarm. I have a free XL tent I could run the other volksgarden in. I just need to pick up a fan and filter combo and run the exhaust to get that going. I just spent all my money on my new light, 1000 watt dimmable lumatek ballast and a nice huge hood to spread the light so will have to wait a bit to add that.

Will do, was away for a week and half but will take some pics of the full wheel, they stretched about 8" from the light already so I may have to start doing some cutting or tieing soon.

So what happened?

I'll try another run at it after a few cycles, right now I'm using one of them to keep a strain "vault" of mother plants going and it's working great for that
. The older one is fucked from rotating for like 5 years, I need to build a new mount for the motor so that one is down for service. I found running my aeroponic system was much more productive using the same ammount of nutes and light and I'm not restricted to what I can grow. I think there is probably a strain that will work in this thing but it's a pain in the ass to find one, I've put at least 10 short strains through this thing and am starting to think I would need to breed one of my own. Auto's would work but I hate auto's so that's never going to happen. I'll use this same thread once I go back to using my wheels to flower, probably won't be until next winter though.

Got rid of em both, tried using them for veg for a while but there isn't enough root space or height. Pretty much back to my last comment, these things are only good for growing auto-dwarfs, and even then you can do better with any other type of garden. Wheels are a gimmick/scam, the only people you ever see defending them are the sales guys and other people that got scammed into buying them and are in denial.
