That's not really the way it is though. I tie up my plants once and leave them. If I see a bud that could use more light I might move it a little but that's it.

I spend virtually no time messing with my plants support.

I'm very open minded about this though and look forward to seeing how the netting works.

I would have no problem using it if is as simple as you say.
hey bro i love your setup its baddass for real ive bought every setup none to man and more your system kicks ass period im convinced matter of fact i feel sorry for peeps that arnt doing this setup know netting works trust me i use to be a nonbeleiver till i saw my bros getting record yeilds i put up 2 layers of net in my garden i got 2 pounds off of one 1000 look at the pic thats my og kush with 2 layers of net what happens is your branches spend energy to hold themselves up all plants do whats so great about netting is the plants rest on the net and all the energy goes to the buds look how big my buds are they alwalys got the signal to fatten up because ther being held trust me guys the nets will give you higher yeilds

Stinkbud, what do you think of this design? Its a 10 gallon inside a 14 gallon and the pumps sits in the bottom of the 14. I sure do owe you alot tho, will all the instructions and supplies list. I've tested this out and I think its going to work great. I wanted your designs, but lower profile.

Do you forsee any issues with this? I think since the resovoir is so small, ph and ppm will have to be checked daily. Heat may be an issue too, with my 400w HPS right below 1 resovior plus I used the 396 pump. I might be able to get away with a 264 or whatever the next lower one is.

I threw in a pic of my cab too.
Nice - that looks cool!

stinkbud hats off to your hightimes cover. peace

Anyone have problems with there plants in veg. haveing the stalk burst at the bottom by the netpot?
It looks like when the incredle hawk rips threw his cloths cause he outgrows them. Im thinking its just the stawks getting bigger but not sure. Ive never seen this before in other grows. Is this cause there growing so quick? These plants are growing so fast I can see a dif by the time I get home from work. The plants are only about 2-3" tall with some roots about 18-20" long allmost 2 weeks old from seed. All from seed no cuttings yet

Thanks all

Everyone will love your buds bro. Most people have never smoked 100% organic with a long flush. It blows them away every time.

You can grow organic with soil but you can't get as complete of a flush as you can with hydro.

The thing I pride myself on is not the size or growth rate of my plants but the taste of my buds.

You will also notice how clean the buds burn. The ashes will be white when burned all the way.

How about that after sweet taste that hangs out on the back of your tongue after each hit? That's organic baby!
Ya know what my friends said at the superbowl party?

''This is the best bud ive ever seen!" and then they tasted it, and guess what? it was even better then it looked!"

and its only one week out of harvest!:clap:

Depends on what size pumps they are. most of the 400gph use only a few amps but the startup draw is more like 8-9 amps. so 3 may be just too much. other peeps on here are running several no problems but I think that they will be buying new timers when I wont with the relay/contactor.

if you look at some of my pics in my project album you will see how easy it is to build.

bought the box at a surplus electronic store. striped the guts out since I just wanted the box. bought an "IDEC" gt3w multi function timer (sequence type) with options repeat cycle timer is the key. $60
including the socket it plugs into. Then bought a contacto/relay from work and mounted that inside it with it. later on I added a switch and indicator light on the front of the box. It cost me a little more to build than buying a pre made one, but I think mine will outlast them and can handle a heavyer load. plus if one part goes out I only have to buy that rather than pitching the whole thing. or you could just add a contactor power strip thing to an existing timer if you allready have one. Then you could run as many pumps off that one timer as the contactor was rated to handle.:bigjoint: if you need anything more feel free to p.m. me
peace:blsmoke:

Hey Stink, do you think I could run pump on the EZ-Cloner (from page 1) 15min on 15min off? I already have have a Minute timer but it's in my vegging room. I just don't want to by another one, I have like 7 of the the 15 minute ones. Thanks IGG

how far do you keep your lights away from the tops of your plants? -

ive read 1ft 2ft 3ft - people seem to all contradict each other. - if your looking for DENSITY - for the dense factor - how far should i keep the light away from the tops?

Word of warning to y'all (once again!): GET A CONTACTOR!!!!

The C.A.P. timer will support two pumps at most. I've been running three for a bit over a week now (was waiting until payday to get a contactor... bad move) and had a bit of a tragedy this morning. When I woke up and checked on the plants, they were all wilted over and drying out. Of course the timer craps out when the HPS is on! I have no idea how long they were without water for... I remember hearing it go on just as I was drifting off to sleep, so at most they were without water for 7 hours or so... not very long, but plenty long enough when under an HPS.

The babies (clones and veg plants) are OK and will survive. The girls that are a week into flower I'm not so sure about... the bottom parts of the plant have perked up, the top is still very wilted. We'll see. Worst-case scenario they don't make it and I'm set back three weeks. It could be much worse... lesson learned.

I checked out my timer without a load attached and it still works fine, so there's some cash saved. I hooked it up to a 50A contactor bought from a local pool/spa supply place (I know 50A is overkill, even for 5 pumps, but I do not want to worry about this happening again!) and it has been working perfectly since.

Also, congrats on the High Times cover Stink!
