my 3 stages of flower

Ok, continuing on the journey here so have a couple more ?s.

1) Not entirely clear on how the res system works. Are you running separate pumps for each veg/flower tote or one pump for all? One supply, one return? How are you keeping the levels even in the veg/flower units?
I'm planning on doing 2 vegs and 2 flowers so trying to figure out how to setup the res units.

2) On the rails for the flower units, 3 or 4 sites per rail?

I have one pump for each flower unit and one pump for cloner and one pump for vegger. Veg pump feeds 3 separate manifolds in 3 totes.

For SS1 and those who have built a similar system. Around how much does it cost to get the system up and going i.e. 3 rail systems, 1 cloner, 1 vegger, timers etc. ? Obviously brand will effect cost more but, any rough estimates?

Hey SS1 don't mean to bug you or ask anything stupid. But, I've been using your system for a little while now but with general hydro. I just changed over to botanicare and what to make sure I have your feed schedule correct. I'm using the exact schedule from page 7 I think, except I am using pondzyme instead of GW. I thought I saw in at least one place you may have dropped your LK by 1ML. Other than that I saw no other changes. The botanicare is working great so far, just making sure I have my foundation right.

Hey guys, I started off reading Stinkbuds thread and then found this one. After a few days of reading I can not find the modified system plans, I did find a post by SS1 saying there was a site that had it all but, it was closed.

Any, links and/or help? I just got a new spot, finally have the space to grow on a larger scale and I really like aero grow systems. I have done mostly small grows and recently finished a 5 plant soil grow so, I could use some help planning a larger area set-up.

One room is 6'x5' and the other is 8'x6'.

My plan is to use the larger room (8x6) to set up the vegger in a tent where I can control light and the cloner. The 6'x5' room will be the flower room.

Sounds good.

I don't believe SS1 has ever posted plans for his modified system. But that's fine. I myself glanced at stinks 2 rail design and modified it to fit my space and style. I think the biggest difference between SS1 and Stinks are the level of nutrients used. Same nutrients at just a much lower ppm. If you go back a page or two you will see SS1 list modifications that have been tested out by people in this and other threads.

My point is mostly that this is a very fit to size system. It can be whatever you need it to be. Just get a starting point from the plans you've found and fit it to what works for you.

I think SS1's feed schedule is on either page 7 or 8 and I just bugged him up above with the only changes I've noticed from start to finish of this thread. It is a much lighter schedule than Stink's original schedule.

1) I have not seen it asked but, if someone did not have the room for a veg area could this system be used to perpetually grow autos in a veg/flower room?

2) What is the max number of openings a single flower system can efficiently have with the recommended pump?

Hey everyone, I hope all has been well with you guys around here. Unfortunately some shit weather and power outage skyrocketed my humidity in flower to 80% and sparked a pm outbreak, which made it's way to my veg area. Gonna give the Fungicide3 you recommended earlier on ss, what's your usual spray regimen with it?
