Anyone ever used this tray?

http://www.amhydro.com/index.php/Do-It-Yourself-Components/184-3-x-3-Heavy-Duty-Tray/flypage.tpl.html?pop=0

Asking because I'm planning my expansion, which will be an 8x8 tent with four 600s and four 3x3 trays (above link).

I'm asking because the Botanicare 4x4 that I have right now is about 7" deep, and the link is only 4" deep - doesn't seem like this would be deep enough, in all honesty, so I'd love to hear from someone who uses it (or has used it) successfully.

Want to use those trays because of the ability to use these inserts over them:

http://www.amhydro.com/index.php/Do-It-Yourself-Components/199-3-x-3-Net-Well-Insert/flypage.tpl.html

Figure with the insert it'll almost be a hybrid DWC/E&F (because of the unlimited root growth).

ehh it be fine I went with a 5" deep Botanicare and its fine for my pots which are much taller. It was also cheaper - at a hydro store - which says a lot.

Well guess what? I got a batch of clones going in the PT Cloner and they are looking pretty good after day 3. No roots yet but looking healthy and no funky goo in the res.
Also, I just finished expanding my flower room. 48" x 40". Just right for 2 2'x3' trays. Oh, and I crammed a 1000 Watt light in there too. Cool tubed so I am running about 78 deg. F. Pretty good under a 1KW. I will post when I get some roots. Should be a nice batch of White Widow in a couple months.

Damn this thread is still open??? Perfect...Hello Weed Barons, I've returned with some questions (i messed up big). I stressed out a girly and she man'd up and pollinated my plants. I slipped up. So I removed her and harvested half my tray cause it was about that time. I left the other half of the plants on the tray to finish up their flowering with the understanding that they would be bearing seeds. I cleaned up the room (sterilized) and moved my next round of vegging plants into the flower area. Come to learn today that these new girls are bearing seeds too, it looks like they were pollinated by the contaminated plants that were still in the tray. Looks like mainly by physical contact. But potentially there was pollen in the air still because my oscillating have been on.

My question is...I had some rooted clones in my veg tent which is in the flower room that was exposed to this same air. I sometimes leave the doors open to expose them to more light, but now I'm concerned they may have been exposed to floating pollen. These clones have been out of the clone box and into the veg tent for 3 days, they are really nice, and have had pistols since I cut them off the mothers. Is it possible that vegging clones this young are vulnerable to pollination? The pistols are mature because they came off of an old mother, but maybe they degress when their cloned? Some help PLEASE. Thanks!

PS. How long does pollen remain a threat, meaning does pollen get old after a certain amount of time if it remains? Or can year old pollen still pollinate?

Not sure what happened to this thread, but it seems like a lot's missing...........anyhow, I promised pics of my 9 plants per square foot experiment, so here they are - 142 plants in a 4x4 tent.
Bob Smith.... YOUR THE FUCKIN MANNNNNNNN! Good job sir, keep it up.
 
trichlone fiend....what size round net pots are you using after the cloner? Do you veg. for a couple of weeks in the small round pots before moving them to the large square pots for flowering?

They finished up at ~1.5' (some at 2'+ that had vegged for longer), if memory serves - seems like that was forever ago - was really just a "fucking around" run, I did no lollipopping, didn't change the reservoir once, and probably didn't spend an hour total on that entire run.

I think the yield was slightly more than a pound of trimmed weed, but then about 6-8 ounces of larfy buds that I didn't bother trimming.

This next vertical run should go much better (it's a vertical SOG, so I guess it wouldn't be against the thread's rules to keep you guys updated on the progress).

Yes it is very much so possible to harvest a pound/tray its only a zip/plant glad someone bumped this thread with the right strain 2 zips/plant is easily obtainable as well it all just really depends on the strain but gets old real quick. Zip a day turns into 60 and takes twice as long to trim in half the amount of time. Then u need magical grow trimmer elve chix to help with the trimming at that point and even then 2 magical grow trimmer elve chix can only truley trim 1 plant comfortably without getting sloppy until u have to clean up there trimmed bud behind them LOLZ crazy!

I'm doing 2x600 on 3x3 trays right now, well only one tray is going to be going right now. I'm hoping for a zip per plant with minimal veg at this point. Still trying to zero in the setup. Using serious seeds chronic as a strain, so we should get a good base. As for the amount of trimming that will be involved, I'm planning to get a trimpro or whatever they are called.
