Looking fantastic, Dayzt. Can't believe how quickly that VK is growing, but maybe it's just because the AoS was a little slow to start. Either way, cheers.
Thanks kriz - things wouldn't be the same without you keeping an eye on things with me! One thing I've learned with the waterfarms so far is that they grow so strong and fast, you can really 'beat the hell' out of the plant and they will bounce back even stronger. I can't imagine how much stress the plant feels being tied down this early in the game, but it since it's growing this fast it really doesn't appear to mind! I'll be installing my replacement ballast this weekend and the second light will be coming on so the AoS can move to it's own side of the tent!
Subbed! Can't wait to watch these finish. Best of luck mate!
Thank you! I hope my long-winded PM messages helped you - please keep the questions coming, I'm here to help! Welcome aboard - have some +rep!
very cool..... very very interesting Dayzt. The new screens your making sound awesome. I might try that myself after i see yours. What an innovative and interesting idea. Why would you use clamps to hold it to the sides of the tent instead of hanging the screen with string from the top? and why do you and kris use twine or string for your screens instead of wire?
And i really like your LST hookup. looking beauituful. awesome awesome documentation. thanks for the time

With the string (or twine - not sure what I'm going to get yet), it's easier to control the size of the screen holes, but wire works just as well - I suppose you could argue that a 'wire' screen or any metallic screen could get hotter than desired and could potentially harm your plant that will eventually be in constant contact with it - but I'm sure that's never an issue. One advantage of using string (need to try and stay away from any string that is 'fuzzy' so you don't get small hairy shot in your sticky buds later..lol) is that you can cut it away easier during harvest, and when you set it up again later you can then just weave more string through the eyelets...string is super-cheap.
The idea to use the spare clamps (2 on each corner, one to rest the screen corners on and the other to hold the screen down) came from kriznarf - simply genius if you ask me - using this method, it gives you complete control over moving the screen up and down without actually 'tieing' it anywhere or suspending it from the top = less wires everywhere and more room below the screen without it having any actual 'legs'.
Curious...where did you get your avatar pic? Is that from some older B movie with bad-ass space chicks?
