Heres a bunch of pics.

Using ecoplus 396 gph pumps, 1000w HPS for flower, 8 bulb sunleaves 430w t5s for veg and clone 24/7. Thats a GrowLab240 tent, 7'11"x7'11x6'7" tall. 200 cfm blower for my vent - IDK if thats going to be enough once it is running through 2 lights. I use advanced nutes 3 part system and am broke as fuck, never been this broke in my life, but i need to get 1 more 1000w hps.

Wow I would love a setup just like yours. I like it all looks great. Plants look very healthy man kudos. You gotta spend to gain. But then again Im broke as fuck also but I havent invested nearly half of what you have got. I use a Growlab 80L, its a rectangle rather than a box. Fits perfectly into the corner of my computer room = now my grow room =D. But ya tent is 4'11" x 2'7" x 6'7" tall I got a 600w digi ballast and 600w MH bulb in a Daystar AC Hood. The tent is great and allows me to have a nice ghetto rig system. I dont have the money for the blower I would actually want to cool down. So instead I use a 6$ fan from walmart to blow air into my hood and with ducting at the other end to carry it outside where Ive plugged a 15$ fan into the top ducting hole to pull the air out. My temps are great now and actually the humidity as dropped due how well its ventting. GL on your grow im subbbed and will be waiting for your harvest pics. Also is that and aeroflow system or did you build that also?

I've been focused on Stinkbud's "grow a pound every 3 weeks" thread for over a year now, reading it, fantasizing about it, reading it again, buying a piece of equipment here and there. Now Im well on my way and it is worth it. Im eating oatmeal today. For breakfast and dinner.

This is what StinkBud calls an Aero/NFT setup, but I call it an NFT(Nutrient Film Technique) cause im pretty sure Aero = fogger instead of sprayers.

This is stinks setup exact, as far as I know, with added funnels, no CO2 atm and different nutes.

Subscribed. I'm making the switch to COMPLETE aero myself. I'm a long time soiless grower. I really the idea of the funnels in your setup, I'll be sure to give you credit when I use them and post on my thread. Looks like you have had some leaking issues with the RuffNeck Rubbermade also. I made a cloner from a cooler because I had dripping issues, works great. I also love how it has hinges and can lift up to look at the roots, when you get a chance stop by my thread, + rep.

ewps. Also stink uses a MH for veg, but since he had in his post that he would love to go with t5s, I did it =)

Do you like the reflection inside the tent? Im tempted to put up some mylar i have left over from other grow. Yar, I HOPE my 200CFM is enough, I think heat is gonna be my main issue, however maybe not with plants that were vegged for only 3 weeks like they were supposed to. Those plants you see there probably vegged for over 9 weeks before I moved them. When I pulled them out of their 2 inch round holes, I had to just suck it up and rip the fuck out of a ton of roots, and then for some of them ,I had to cut the roots HELLA short just to get it in to the flower unit. The roots get nuts after the plants are mature, and not easy to bend. I was surprised some of them survived. all I can say is thank god for Hygrozyme - it kills dead plant matter saving my ass from root rot.

This grow is massive to me and looks alot like the pics i used to drool over and think about back when I had my dirt grow 4x4wood box. I borrowed 1500 bux for this setup, already had a 1000w light and other left over stuff, but all that little shit and shipping charges add up. Ive been taking money away from food/car insurance for this and will likely end up cashing in about 300 bucks in silver I have. 9 weeks til buds.

*btw this grow is legal, im a caregiver for 2 of the big dispensaries where im at = ) thought id add that

Nice timer. Mine is made by the same people, but its a solid 4 min off, 1 min on deal. Wish I had an adjustable one, they really dont need to get sprayed this often, but whatevs. Yar, I saw a video that basically said other plants will yield alot better with true aero vs NFT. Yeah, The drips tend to only happen in the spots where you see my clips. I tried FUCKIN EVERYTHING. One dude said use rope caulk and recaulk it every time you change. Im just not much of a caulker, but weather stripping + the clips works well, still hate it. Someone needs to invent a drip proof box.

The funnels help with sound and seem to be a standard upgrade on the stinkbuddies.com forums. After dealing with powdery mildew and reading about how bad light + nute water is, the flower setup scared me(cause the 2 huge gaping holes), it still kinda does cause the waterfalls, but I have not had any problems with it yet.

Yar I checked it, im likely going to go this route.

1 question -- I seethe gap in the lid, it appears there is hollow area there. Any problems because of this? Is that a hollow area?

Lol Your the first to notice. They are in Pro-Mix and just got neglegted for a bit, they were a bit thirsty. I got quite a bit going on at the moment and they are just chilling under the cheapo floros. As for the gap itvhas no effect. Ideally I didn't want it but it doesn't make a difference.. I did find another cooler with a flat and very thin lid. It's called the Marine by Igloo. Here's a pic. I'm making a few for friends.








Also stay stuned to my aero thread as I will post a tread on a DIY aero veg setup.:-P




Cooler build totaled at 91.00 even. I am now buying the sprayers by the 100 so it brings the cost down to 81 even.

dag. ill probably be getting that cooler. I plan to solidify my setup after the first couple of harvests. Prolly going to strong box the flower unit, so i can go a little shorter and use coolers for veg/clone.

Are you replacing sprayers alot? I did not plan on replacing sprayers, some people claim they are doing cool without. I make em spray really good during cleaning in the shower with some heavily clorinated water (i am almost starting to like having this crap in our tap water, it helps so much with the grow, im sure it helps keep baddies in check too, but its nice to know when I clean this stuff, it at least has a weak bleach solution added by default lol), havent had to do the flower unit yet tho.
