Thats the way and I like the way you think ;-). The clones I get are already rooted and planted in their own 15 gal pot so I do have it easy :-P. I guess thats one of the benefits of letting others into your hobby and helping each other out. There can be many downfalls to that as well so I guess its a very rare thing to come by but it can be a huge benefit if you know exactly who your dealing with. I could never find other people I could trust as much as I trust my boys because none of us are in it for money. We only want to have a constant supply of free weed between us all so nothing is ever for sale and between all of us we are never short of weed.

right on, its good to have people to help and talk about growing, I just wish I knew someone that just grows elite mother plants that would be super, I gotta gotta go through the phenos myself if I want something good. Do you find the 15 gallons big enough if your running sunshine mix, I noticed on urban grower they do some tree grows and the guys are running trash cans with sunshine and pulling down some pretty big trees.

heres a nice tree grow http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NRkB4j3y1AA&feature=channel_page

So I am going to use another tote like the 50 gal res as a tray...

It's big enough (barely) and strong enough...

Badass, that will work! Are you going to flower it they size it is now, or veg it a little? I think I would cut down 1/3/ of the lowest portion off some time in the first stages. That way the top are all bud and are donkey dicks! :)

I don;t know shit bro...:lol:

I was just following a recipe...;-)

ANYONE can do that...

I consider myself more of a SOG operator than an actual grower...

The tree should change that a bit...:-P:clap:

The training has already begun...

She will veg for another 2~3 weeks...

I slpayed he open in a circle about 60"x50"...

She will be pruned and trimmed...

MBlaze's system is very similar to what we do...

Lots of clones pruned for single cola... he just never cuts the off of the tree...

So yeah... bottom 3rd and then some...:lol:

Hey Gypsy, just took some new pics of my ghetto grow in the corner of my spare bedroom...400 mh/hps, all organic soil and nutes, diesel ryder, easy ryder, and white dwarf, and 3 purple wreck that i'm gonna veg and put outside in a couple weeks, then my own cross, rhinoberry...i copied a member here on that, looks super dank, but i'm sure since i only have 1 goin it'll be a male...i got another 40 seeds saved though, and only pollenated one branch....i love what you got going and that one huge tree idea is sooo awesome!! i may have to try that...maybe my best lady in a 5 gal bucket of soil under 400 hps!? i doubt a lb but anything close would be killer......enjoy:leaf::leaf:

Trying to follow along with this tree thread for a couple reasons, I have only grown in soil, but very interested in other mediums. Anyone who knows feel free to answer.

So what gypsy is doing is pumping water from the res to the top of the 19 gal. bucket and letting gravity disperse the water over the roots. Then the solution drains through holes in the bucket back into that flood tray? and the flood tray is connected to the res and everything drains back down?

And the difference with Blaze is he hand waters using a hempy bucket approach, without a res because the coco can break down and clog the pump? I may be way off base here...I have been doing schoolwork for 8 hours:wall:

Here is the progression of things...

I now have 2 indentical 50 gal totes...

One is the res below..

The other is an ebb/flow tray with fill/drain and overflow tubes...

The blue pot just sits in the tray and floods and drains...




So here she is in the original form, in the flopped design...
I had coiled a hose with holes from the bottom up... no water ever reached the top...:sad:





The we see her as she spent the night with a top feed...:-P





And now we have the final and tested ebb/flow set up under the Adjust-A-Wing'ed 600HPS... :clap::-P :weed:

Damn she is going to bush out so much since you tied her down. I am getting excited watching this and I am on the other side of the US haha. What is that stuff you are using to line the walls?

that's truly awesome Gypsy! maybe one day i'll try hydro, when i've got some spare cash to play with...everything i know is of soil, i'd feel like such a newb, and wouldn't even know where to start...i mean pumps, timers, ph, ppm sumpin, resivoirs, top drib, ebb and flow, it's really quite overwhelming, and this is coming from an experienced dirt farmer...i even read some bout it in mags and here and don't understand it yet....here's my journal: https://www.rollitup.org/grow-journals/209151-400w-auto-grow.html

Thanks for the model gypsy, that makes great sense now. Is there a reason why you flood so high? Do you have holes just in the bottom of your big pot, or around the sides too?

The fill/drain fitting just has a male piece sticking through the grow tray and connects to your hose? And the overflow is just a piece of tubing, no fittings necessary? sorry for the newb ?'s on this subject, but your just too much help! Thanks bro

Dude... I'm a complete idiot...:-P

If I can do it... anyone can...

The hardest part is sticking to the recipe at first....

We ALL want chocolate chips in our cake...:lol:

But I just feel that learning the basic cake first is crucial...

Soil takes a lot of "touch".. it's almost wizardry...

Hydro is science... numbers...

If you can add and multiply you can do hydro.. period...:-P:clap:

And as for cash.. nice is nice... but there is plenty of DIY hydro from Wally World that is both effective and affordable...

Not trying to preach or anything...:o

But it's totally do-able...:clap: :-P

Also, forget where I posted this, and if it was here sorry for the double post. But check this.. pick up some older solar panels someone is getting rid of, line the walls of your room with those and reuse the light hitting the walls. Someone told me they reflect decently too. Not sure how much you could actually make up for.. but it would be cool to see someone try.

haha, i agree, i'm also an idiot!! i'm terrible at math and not good at diy, but i can grow pretty damn well outta soil...it does take a certain touch...i really do wanna try though, looks so interesting and hands on, which is awesome...i like your style gypsy, your a good dude...maybe next grow i'll do some kind of 1 or 2 plant dwc setup, i just wouldn't know how to start with the nutes, timers and what not...how'd you learn?
