well iv been lurking in the background for a few weeks now so i fort it was about time i introduced myself properly and show ya all my pride and joy!
bit about me, dont worry it"ll be quick,lol
well im not spring chicken anymore, got to the grand old age of 29 the other day! arrrrrrr the dreaded 30 next! lol
been growing our beloved herb for the last decade now here in the uk.
like most people i sarted with good old soil but soon found the bennefiys of hydro! my first hydro was dwc which i was amazed with, 1st run netted me a plant with 7 oz dry! compaired to the 1 1/2 oz from the same strain in soil! yer yer i know soils tastier but hey i am in england and with the crazy laws over here we need to produce a much a possible in a little a time as possible. but saying that the tastiest weed iv produced to date was grown in diced rockwool!
talking of our stupid laws things seem to be getting worse by the day! they ( pigs) have even brought out a held help heat seeker to snuff out grow ops! they just walk down roads pointing this thing at houses to see if theirs enuf heat to warrant a search! been closing down 3-4 a day latley! not good.
anyways onto the system, now let me appoligise in advance if i go on about my system but i just love it! and its all made by my very hands!
its basicaly an improved version of the cage system by ddoc.
i use 6 inc sewer tee-pices to creat 12 columes of 6 plants in each.
the main advantage over the original cage is its in 2 halfs so you can pull it apart to get more room or to tend to the plants.
its also a hell lot bigger than the cage,its a 12ft circle and around 6ft highnot including the base, on average im pulling 1- 1 1/2 oz per plant using 4 400 hps.
the plants are feed via 4mm tubing at the top of each colume 3 times a day for 5 min a time.
the lighst are housed in a giant 5ft cool tube with a 6inc fan blowing cool air from outside past the bulbs into the loft space.
for odour and temps i use 8inc fan n filter with 6inc for intake.
i also have a 12.000 btu split air con for the summer months, i have tried the sealed room using cos gen that all you guys seem to like but i got the same results with in/out fans without co2 so went back to it, why fix wat aint broke ay! so now the ac is for cooling in summer, altho i havent had to use it of late, temps stay steady 74f with my fans.
the nutes of cours are the advanced 3 part with a few select additives like big bud, carbo, sensi zym, mother earth, humic/fulvic. i dont use the whole range as i dont belive some of the stuff does anything.
the strain in these pics is also my own creation, its bubblegum male crossed with ukcheese then bx 4 times to the cheese.
anyways thats enuf reading for ya all me thinks,lol heres my beloved system in full bloom! this is the last run i did with it.
the build
clones being transplanted into cage
