Some water culture growers (myself included) prefer no medium at all----except for starting seed. When running with clones the entire process is 100% medium less. Lots of ways to support / train plants without medium-----makes 1 less thing to deal with. Perhaps as legalization spreads, home...

Nice job on the hoods ----how has that venting method worked out for you? I think you're going to be disappointed with that screen in the drain thing. A~~~

The main reason I'm suggesting a trellis is for space----imagine if the plants were trained outward toward the light (starting now)----then let then grow straight up. I know a pretty cheap way to do that and not too much effort (if interested). What I have in mind would like a scorg grow...

Hey HDS-----looks good. I agree with hayrolld about removing the lower stuff. Good idea using that reflectix behind the tubes. Are you planning on a trellis to train the plants in toward the light a ways----you know the stems will grow vertically anyway until buds fatten up. A~~~

Yes, pics please.

I thought about the light proofing----do you really think I need insulation? A~~~

If you have room in the tent---- and if you have a drain in the garage-----and if your unit came with a hose drain port on the collector tray------then mount the unit higher than the drain and run a hose to it. lots of ifs, A~~~

I would try in the tent, A~~~

Some more shots . A~~~

Bigger----sure----just use longer pvc. Don't understand what you mean by "panels 6' tall. That tote could be DWC, RDWC, aero, flood and drain-----lots of option----with no medium. About those totes---concerned about bowing?---- any problems with leaks? A~~~

WARNING: The contraption below has NOT gone through system verification and test or field tested. Been thinking about what I would run if limited to a closet or bathtub with say a 600. All home depot parts except for the panels and binder clips. 27 gallon tote with 3/4" slip pvc (no...

Hey tyy----wow, eight T5s. About how long under those? Do you think your process is the best (for you) in terms of maximum profit per year? Hey Budley-----I've had my share of being cold----I hate it too----- love fl in the winter time though :smile: I if you're asking about the plants...

Hey Budley----I hope you will feel sorry for us poor guys trapped inside and post pics of the great outdoors. About the MH vs HPS for veg-----once did a little experiment. Running with the 10' tubes under 1K hps and 1K MH. I observed a slight increase for the plants under the HPS-----and I...

Thanks much, So you prefer those to say the 1K hortilux hps? A~~~

Hey tty------are these the kind of lights you're referring to? If yes, what kind of ballast do you use? If no, can you point me to them? http://advancedtechlighting.com/cdmea860.htm Thanks A~~~

Yea, that 7' ceiling is a bummer-----that's why in my last location I set the ceiling height at 9'-----and that was just barely enough. I really like your work around for the lighting-----kinda semi vertical grow with reflectors. Have you ever tried scorg and your lights on movers? I hear you...

SWEET!!!!!! Very interesting way of mounting lights----do you keep up with your g/w yield? I feel lazy now. I didn't see what those pretty ladies are in though----what kind of system? You have lots of nice toys to play with---really liked that meter, and I need some of those glasses. I've...

Stomping?-----no, not at all. I enjoy hearing from other growers----especially ones that have experience with larger grows (more than I have ever done). After all, as the title reads "An outlaws journal." These forums are closest I've ever come to get to talk shop with "serious growers"...

Is there a reason you're starting non-fem seed? would be much easier starting fems, IMO. What's your plan for nute changes once in the buckets or tote in the tent? What are you planning to keep your mother and clones in----under what light? A~~~

Wow----what a story. Plumbing, electrical and HVAC skills----all the hard parts taken care of to set up a grow room / greenhouse------added with a little plant knowledge and away we go. Your friend sounds like a man of integrity for not ratting you guys out-----very rare these days. Enjoyed...
