VV is singing the blues. From seed to Perpetual Weed.

Holy crap vv'... Thats alot of work, and for plant count, i ment more of how much can ur boat hold now??? After the add up, i am realy surprised a toe shot wasn't in the mix.... Lol db.~tlb!

went and attacked some noobs today, and the garden knowm was there, and then gone, those knowms are elusive... Hehehe!!!

Great set up man, and always seems to be getting better! i cant wait till i can afford my own place, i will get my grow on then!

good god that a beautiful sight.

damn man! what a forest!!!!!! Im late but im here for the ride!! scribed +rep
HHM~~TLB
yea the bus strikes yet again!! *S*

guess i'll stop lurking too and post.. hello!

We do have quite a network developed, a true motley krew. I think I am done building, well maybe a few modifications, no more new ones. I have to move a table to get from one side to the other now. I hadn't thought about total plant count til DirtBag brought it up. I guess I do have some capacity. seems like just two years ago I started with bag seeds that I had to put in the field across the street, what a difference, it looks like a greenhouse in here. And my wife can still park her car in the garage.lol Did you all notice CaliGurl's new journal, her clones look awesome, thats what I want, clones like that. VV

I was starting to think it looked like one of those liberry's were the cases had to be rolled over with that big safe handle looking thing. All on tracks... Man vv' u got big... Lol from bag seed to "bang"~~!!! Very nice mister. Very!!! Db.~tlb!

They have shelving like that. I did think about it. What is that game called were you have the little 15 numbered squares and one open square....thats what its like now. You have to move three things to get around. They say neccessity is the mother of invention, in this operation they are right. The 2' by 4' table is the right size for the mothers, and if I can get clones ready to go into flowering in two weeks ( a big if right now ) then I can eliminate one table. I have decided on how to do all the reses, been screwing around with that for two years now, solved the bowing problem for $6.50. Total cost for a 39 gallon res with cover, $31.50. VV

So what was the fix,,, i feel i missed it or u teasen??? 6.50 beats the crap outa 31.50! So do tell! A pic would even be better im just a slut that way!!! Db.~tlb!

I was going to post a pic, then I filled the res first, now it has 39 gallons of water in it, I can't move it out to take pictures until I empty it out. $31.50 is the total cost for the res and lid with the modifiations. Botanicare's 40 gallon res and lid is listed at $111.95 in the 2008 catalog. The table is only listed at $61.95. Soo.. I bought the flood table built a stand for it that the res sits on with casters on the table for less than $40.00. Took picture with my new camera, the software program won't let me have them, and since I took them while I was building it......anyway. It was a lot less work than building one using the pond liner, I wouldn't have even had to put the board around the flood table, it does give me something to hold onto when I move it.
Take a 3/4" pvc x, 2- 3/4" tees, six flat end caps and a 10' length of pipe. Place the x in the middle of the res and attach the 2-tees to it placing them far enough to keep the res from bowing, measure and cut pieces to go from side to side thru the tees and the x, place end caps against the inside and drill and screw thru the end caps, be sure to use a washer around the head of the screw. It look like an HH. Holds the sides steady. I put the top on and let it fill til it overflowed, no bowing, lid stays on. Saves $70.00. VV

Nice... Do you think that would work in the vac. Thing'e i did,,,to keep the 5g bucket from inploding ??? Or should i just find that metal buch. Like we talked...!!! Man look at u being all crafty...lol!!! Very nice. Db.~tlb!

oh! And "new camera" ??? Moven up bt.~

It could work, you would have to decide the design. I used lumber originally, don't like the risk of pathogens growing. Most of my tables will run on 30 gallons so this size give me extra room, less pressure on the res, a win-win. The inside doesn't have a lot of nooks and crannies to have to clean. There is one thing I am going to do different on the rest of them. Having the pump line, air lines etc. coming out of the lid is not as convinient as if they came out the sides, could even by above the 'water line'. A flood and drain fitting thru the side may work if I can't find the hose nuts filthy fletch posted. You would have to put the compression side in and the barb side out, might even make it easier to remove the pump for cleaning. Hey, I'm still working on it, its only been two years. Maybe a little silicone around push fittings. Some of us are slower than others lol VV

You know im at 5+ and still learning... I think were both learning that the learning never stops... Just when u get it done they come out this a new mouse trap...and were all addicted to keeping up with the jones's so to speak along with well "pride" lol db.~tlb!

Soo... a few weeks back I built a table for the mothers and bought a flood tray for it. Then I made a couple of aero cloners and a stand for them. Worked great, clones are not ready for flowering, we knew they wouldn't be, we haven't developed the mothers enough yet so I did some thinking for about 10 minutes. We need to do something with these clones, and take some more clones, I know, lets build another table, this time lets make it a 2' by 4'. That should be big enough for the mothers and then use the 3' by3' for the 2 week old clones.
It has been some work, its done now and when the software lets me I will post the build. I did get some of the neoprene collars for the aero cloner, cut a groove in the side, snaps right in place. We love our mothers, we treat them....uhh like shit, cut off all of the little children and place them here, put the mothers back where they came from, that is it. VV

Lmfao!!!!.... Building again? Porn looks great! Gots some pic's to show u of my ak, "abfuct" clone method experiment. Be back on around 9-10a my time. Db.~tlb!

man those babies are looking real good... So its working for u ???

First batch, lost 5. I think they may have been staying too wet in the cloner. I put a timer on the pumps running two hours on and one off. AND used the Nitrozime I already had, this time I bought the Hydrozime. I just took those clones yesterday, hoping they are getting to the size we need. All but two are standing up straight, there are some big ones there. I am going to the lake for the rest of today, be back tomorrow sometime. VV

man the laboratory is looking sick!!! was that a led light I saw??

Yep, that is a Procyon 100. 100 watts of power, equivalent to a 400 watt hid light. VV

Finally someone with an LED that can give me an honest assessment - so is it the equivalent in every way of a 400w HID (besides the heat)?
