Yeah, we sometimes sit crosselegged in front of the "Mother Ship" and contemplate the universe.
She's a little ill right now tho.. doesn't look like she took too kindly to being moved out of the AG, most of the fan leaves are getting pretty yellow.
I'm about to head over to RIU plant hospital and see if there's anything I can do but my suspicion is that it's just root shock and the fix is to leave her alone to recover.

Neatos1 said:

what would you recommend would be the best way to get the highest yield ? LST?

Click to expand...

I recommend you follow Vette's recipe... he gets the best yields and results time after time...

If you do what he does, you will be satisfied... and he is a really nice guy...

Here is a link to his grow... Hijack.....aerogarden grow

and here is what he's got going on right now... freaking AG MASTER...

how long did it take from the day they sprouted till you harvested?

Click to expand...

Well, not to be a prick, but if you read the thread you would know that both questions have been answered many times...

But I'll save you from scratching your head...

They sprouted from seed about 5 or 6 years ago... and the DNA has been kept alive through cloning... I started by flowering rooted clones that were 3" high...

As for harvest, I am still a good 2 to 3 weeks away... I have clipped one sampler bud, that should be dried and cured at the day of harvest...

Neatos1 said:

also another thing what should i do about 12/12 setting for flowering?

Click to expand...

What should you do about 12/12 for flowering???? not sure I follow you here...

Neatos1 said:

i was thinking about hooking a timer up to the ag but then when the timer goes off the bubbles will go off too will this kill the plants?

OK, we're making a little more sense, but not much...

You need a figure 8 cord as SICC mentioned, and separate the lights from the rest of the AG... you can now plug that cord into a timer and effectively control your light schedule, without interrupting the normal functions of the AG...

But your AG makes no bubbles..., it has a water pump that circulates water, no bubbles...

A lot of people have added aquarium type air pumps and air stones to their reservoir to help oxygenate the water and help fight root rot...

You need to do some reading into DWC... I highly recommend hours of interaction with the search feature...

thanks in advance

peace

Yeah man.. anytime... but you gotta read bro... read lots.... and then some more.... read journals... and at the end if you have questions like how long has it been... go back and take a peek at the dates...

99% of the info is already here in the site... search and you shall find...

Best of luck to you...

And let me know if you have any other questions...

Hi...! yes... I'very Hi...!

A while back (10 days or so) I ordered a new light... a 600 Watt HPS w/ a 8" cool tube... ... so I could have one light over the four trays I intend on having..

I wanted to order a Grow Tent as well, but the cash was a little short that day... not wanting to wait this long again for shipping, I decided to go get some supplies and build my own... (with the help of a good friend... Thanks!!!)

Soooo, I just thought I'd post about how I spent part of my day yesterday...

Went to WM... picked up a "wardrobe"... air pumps & stones... Industrial Strength Velcro... and 4 plastic containers...

Then I went to "L" and got a few more things... 4"in-line duct fan (exhaust) @ 80CFM... some 4" ducting... a 4" ducting wall adapter... and some heavy duty tape...

Then I went to a gardening supply store and picked up some 6 MIL black/white Panda Film, but I had to buy a freaking roll of it... 1000 sq Foot roll... yeah.... ok... and I found these neat little zippers... probably $1 from China, but I paid PREMIUM, let me assure you hehehe, what a rip off... I needed them so I got them... and they were very easy to use... if only they were a better zipper... I hate cheap, flimsy shit that you know won't last... especially when you have to pay a lot for it...

Oh my other beef with the zipper is that you NEED 2 to make a door... all of the pictures showed what I needed... but you can't make an effective door with just one... everything I said before... just doubled the price... rip off....

So I guess a few pictures of the assembly are in order...

This is not a tutorial... I am not a teacher and I don't have patience to explain anything to anyone unless the person is willing to pay genuine attention because they are really interested...

With that said, I would be glad to answer questions here on this thread (please do not PM me ABOUT THIS)... just make sure you are asking a relevant, specific question... Thanks...!

So Yeah, it is pretty easy, if you have the patience to deal with a very large piece of plastic that needs to be folded neatly several time...

I still need a piece of thin plywood for the bottom, the cardboard looked good for the pictures, but it's not permanent...

I put little velcro tabs, attaching the frame to the panda film...

I had to make an extra section to cover the back of the zipper, as it is not light proof, and to make sure, I ran a strip of velcro lenghtwise, to make sure light cannot go in because of the zipper...

I'll take a better picture of the thermostat, but it is just a regular cooling thermostat... you set the temp and it lets power go to whatever it is you are running...

Kinda like a timer..... but instead of turning on and off with hours and minutes, it is controlled by temperature...

So I can have the fan kick at ... say... 75F...and when it gets below 75F (+- a few) it shuts off....

Passive intakes should do it... but it would be easy to add at any point...

I know I will not get true 80CFM out of this fan, but I have a small tent...
true 80CFM would circulate the entire airmass 3.3 times every minute...

I bet I am still getting full volume transfer every minute... I got 24 cubic feet of space...

Well, it's time for me to go and enjoy some torture at physical therapy...

Be good boys and girls... and remember "Always Drive Rowdy...." lol...

Gypsy....

When the light gets here, it will have 8" holes on the sides of the tent for unrestricted blow by ventilation... provided by a 265cfm cage fan (not an in-line blower...
