Harvest a Pound Every Three Weeks!

Since each pump can handle up to 20 sprayers, I was thinking if you offset the pump to one side of the bucket, and drill 2 1/2 holes in the side of the container (near the top) for the pvc line to run into a second bucket all you need is a short piece of pvc at the bottom of the buckets acting as a return line and you can run 2 buckets off one pump!

Also, this will just look like an extended H frame, one frame stand on the end in each bucket rather than the 2 in just one bucket.

You can do this for the CLONE and VEG buckets. Just need to work out the mathematics on the lengths of the PVC to cut.

EDIT:
I was also thinking of making scratch lines with a ruler inside the bucket for amounts of water in the bucket. So start at 4 or 5gal. - make a scratch line, and go 1 or 2 gal more and keep making scratch lines that way to the top of where I will fill the bucket that way I can control how much more nutrient solution I will need to put in for the amount of water present or whatnot. Good idea?

has anyone run 15 minutes on and 15 minutes off?
i dont have the expensive timer since im strapped building up for my greenhouse grow so im using a 10 dollar 15amp 1750 watt outdoor heavy duty timer
im set to 15 on and 15 off 24 hours a day for my veg unit right now........only been one day so maybe ill pic them after a few days for an update

I had my pump go out on me once so I hooked the system up to my normal hydro timer. It only goes down to 12/12 though.

I ran it all night with no problems. I think there is actually quite a bit of experimenting with timing still to go.

It may even get to the point where different strains like different times.

You don't need Cal Mag with your water PPM that high.

Some of my first prototypes were built like that. I had the sprayer assembly long enough to go through both containers.

I put a hose fitting on the bottom of one container and had it drain into the first bottom container.

So the back bottom container is just a support for the back system. Check out this photo from a long time ago.

The first system I bought is on the left. One of my very first prototypes is on the right. History....

you say buckets, do you mean 5gal? just a bit of info for you, i started out using 5gal buckets, just 4 plants drank almost 2gal a day. and when you put 5 gallons in a 5gal bucket, that is 100% full to the top. needless to say i upgraded to a larger rez, i almost cancelled my gym memebership and just stayed home hauling water around.

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
Hey bubbler..im getting ready to build the frame for the netting.. did you say 2 layers? one lower then the other?
what heights do you net at? my plants will start to go into flower at under 12 inches..thanks bro

Also im running og kush (sfv cut) any tips on this strain? how long till they finish,,etc.

No no, sorry, for the clone and veg buckets stinkbud is discussing, the 18 Gal. You can link 2 of them together easy. I probably wouldn't toy around with the Flower chamber, the high pressure is probably better suited there.

Connect 2 ruffneck bins (18 gal.) long wise with the H frame running through the top (2 holes) and 1 return line. Offset the pump in the 1 bin and then it's just a matter of figuring out the new lengths of the 1/2" PVC.

I'm actually going to be running a few of the flowering chambers for food this spring, summer, and fall outdoors in one of these... http://cgi.ebay.ca/Greenhouse-12x7x7-LARGE-Green-Garden-Hot-House-NEW_W0QQitemZ250373034625QQcmdZViewItemQQptZGarden_Structures_Fencing?hash=item250373034625&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72:1215|66:2|65:12|39:1|240:1318

My kush may be diff lot of kush strains are diff hope u got the real deal the girl loves it at 85/89 /89 my fav with a lot of c02 i use two layers one mid low the other mid high hope this makes sense the kush loves netting the buds get so big the last two weeks the branches will brake with out the net lol gotta love that bro my kush finshes in 47 to 50 days theres the extra bonus shes a quick girl hope u got the real deal if u dont i might be able to drop a special clipping at your club and say give this to dirth peace bro

bongsmiliehere is what I made yesterday, so I can flower my seedlings, since I dont know there sex yet:roll:. The fence post flower way, roots will overlap each other and get tangled. with this way I can use it and they shouldnt get to tangled in the short time it will take to show there sex. then I can still rip the boys out, hopefully. I can still use this for veg when Im done too.

I made it so that each holds 6 plants and the way the sprayers are setup, the roots can go imbetween them without getting in the way:eyesmoke:. and it kinda keeps them all separated. I used 2 - 14g med totes. this way to give plenty of root room and still be small. used 190gph pumps from harbor freight. think they were like $15 each. made a nice spot for the cord to come out the side too. I am planning on running ones I know are fem or clones through the fence post system, but untill I know what these seeds turn out to be I had to do this.

Also I have some of those FREE power skunk seeds from attitude and they are doing fine. long and lanky like a sativa. but everyone Ive heard had them said they suck:cuss:. I dont want to through them out, just cause they take a long time. (I can still start budding them then put them outside this spring;-).) but my consern is has any one ever on here had anything good to say about them. I used them first on the stinkbud system for practice since they were free. thanks for all the help everyone. peace:bigjoint:

well here it is... i didnt glue it in case i need to lower the top net a few inches. very easy to do.

Instead of cutting the excess netting from the ends i figured i could if needed just drape it over the end plants if needed.

looks nice.
what kinda spacing is that on that neting. I am thinking of trying it but I think I want tighter sizing on the net.:mrgreen:

whats an svf cut also? thanks
