well here we are on day 5.. I cleaned out the res. and loaded up 9 gallons of distilled water with my nutes at 1/3 strength for the pro grow and at 1/2 strength on the liquid karma. I also changed the water in the cloner. i dont now if its anything, but I was wondering if the plant below...

I'm going to keep watching this one. Looks great. I have a very similar setup that I built about a couple of weeks ago.. I have been running the setup for about a week. im on day 6 now :peace:

I'm glad your starting another all out hydro grow. Should be pretty rewarding considering the 20 pounds. What nutes are you currently using?

i also wanted to say that i'm going to keep my mothers on veg until about the end of august. then i'll dig 4 BIg holes and transplant them in the ground outside on Sept 1st to be ready for harvest by Nov 1st. Sound good? They are on week 8 veg now and are in 3 gallon pots. Should I transplant...

hey guys, thanks for the bump.. Hatch, the lights with no hoods for the clones are 23w CFLs. And the TV haha is a 175 MH:mrgreen: The black stuff is just black plastic "duck" brand duct tape you can get at wally world for about 2.50 a roll.. It works great at blocking light. You only need...

Well its been another day in the garden... I built another cloner for a total of 48 plant sites possible. I needed to build another to work towards filling the hydro system quickly. In the cloner i have 2 18" bubble curtains that fit perfect longways in the bottom. For the water: it is...

Hello again... Figured i would give everyone an update on how things have progressed. I transplanted 5 clones into the hydro system thursday night. I also made some improvements to the pvc setup. I determined that even with the ends covered to keep out light, the thickness of the pvc...

Hey how far apart are your plants in the pvc rows? You have a sprayer inbetween each site right in the middle? Do you just use tap water through the whole grow or do you filter it RO?

Thanks sbud. I have to admit i have been researching for some time and seen a lot! of setups, but none as brilliant and functional as yours. Thats pretty sweet that you use the 396 pumps b/c they are fairly inexpensive. How many plant sites do you think an eco 396 can support max?

thanks fellas, i will update with pics later tonight. I have transplanted 4 clones into the system. I decided to stay with the drip just for money issues. BUT in the next month or two I'm planning on constructing a 60+ aero site right next to the drip system. Thanks again guys:peace:

Can someone give me some insight to how i need to setup the aero pvc feed line and what are the best misters to use?

yeah those are 600w lights i believe. By the end he was up to 8 600w and one 1000w

HATCH thanks man, I have decided to start getting materials together to change my setup over. I'm going to replace the two 1/2 vinyl feed lines that run in between each set of PVC pipes with a pvc feed line. I'm guessing i'll use 1/2 3/4 or 1in. I just dont know the method to use to attach...

Well.. I just read the whole journal and I am officially going to modify my system for aero!!:mrgreen: You have a fantastic operation. What size are the pumps in each of the 3 part cycle? What size pvc for the feed lines? ..For the grow tubes? And how many plant sites per tube? I think you...

C6 H12 O6 Thats Glucose isnt it..:blsmoke: Stinkbud, you hit it right on the head.. I have been researching and learning from you guys on RIU for like 4 months and now I'm putting everything together for my first grow. I like your setup tons, I started out with the drip system for mine because...

Hello again.. I just wanted to post an update on whats been going on. 5 or 6 of my clones have developed sufficient roots to be placed into the pvc system. I also built a new cloner and blacked out the sides and top. I've picked up a 1000w MH and should be getting 2 1000w HPS soon to flower...

trim the lower 1/3 off the plants during week 2f and again in week 3f.

That rotational wheel is pretty efficient, and 4 k is not too bad.. I mean its 4 grand but when you factor in 6-7 pounds per harvest GOD damn I've looked at Al's setup and i like it. He produces a lot of pot in the 10x10 room. I like ebb/flow too, I just think you can get more productive with...

Well alright.. So i think what i'm going to do is put ebb/flow fittings inside the ends of the pipes on the res. side. Then i'll cap off the pipes on both ends. This should allow the pipes to get about half-full of water or less.. While still recirculating nutrient solution 24/7 There...

i have seen that machine before.. How many plants car you put in that thing and how many watts of light? How much for one of those units too?
