I am VERY interested buddy in Bobblpod rev 2.0 that can handle 36 more plants......also Gro-bro and I just decided to go to all #2's smarties.....same idea higher plant count = higher yield. But we might have to water more often correct?

Hadta say this once more for the record.......Plant #s dictate yield...
Bobble.Do what`s necessary for your world as far as production needs per strain requirements..."monocroppped"....
Adjusted my shit accordingly per Heathie`s instructions for many yrs till dialed results happened with automated setups that ran themselves for at least a week at a time and then some if needed per redundancy ..
10 lbs from 1800 watts ???.....Already said it was in front of yas ta do with extra plants on the floor and elsewhere up the walls with established sideways canopy management ....
Looks like you`re seein the light bout more plants touchin each other above and below while none are competing for light or environment while packin em in like cordwood ...Handle it......
100 might do it......Let`s see....God knows you`ll be honest on the results....already seen proof with issues on your integrity shinin through with X factors and telling all bout your shortcomings and giving folks "real time" grow`s for the good and bad of it regardless of the outcome....
Respect....Freds....

Mega- I wouldn't switch over 100% unless you get your feed automated. LL feeds his plants by hand every day. I'm just saying, what are you gonna do when something comes up and gro-bro can't make it to water the plants, and you're in late flower and the plants are suckin juice like there's no tomorrow... and you miss a watering, and lose 1/2 your crop...
Something could always go wrong with the timer, etc... but humans are more likely to err than machines. The machines just need attention from time to time.
But yeah, I'm switching to #2 SP's, b/c they will dry faster, and can be watered again sooner, for an increased yield... as well as the increased numbers.
Like DHF said, it's all coming together... I'm looking at being able to fit 96 #2's... The other 4 might be able to sit on the floor... lol... maybe.

The experience of actually DOING makes all the difference Freds. Seeing what you were helping me create come together, from scratch... Knowing everything that goes into it.... Now I can manipulate it.
My past failures/success are irrelevant. All that matters now is what I took from them, and what I"m gonna do next. It's time for someone else to come along and pull 2gpw+... And I'm gonna show everyone how to do it.
See ya on the beach...
All HPS... These are production rooms, I don't really give 2 shits about the extra UV light and supposed increased potency from MH. I had bought 2 digilux HPS to try them out, that's why they look different from the USHIO in the middle.
DIGILUX uses a bigger jacket... maybe it holds more gas, idk? but why don't we use cool tubes? b/c the extra glass robs you of light... So I'll stick to USHIO lamps for now. Smaller jacket... and no problems in over a year of running their lamps. I try to relamp every grow, every-other tops.
There's a noticeable difference when you put in a fresh lamp even after 2 months... Those digital ballasts drive those lamps hard.

MH in the VEG tent FTW.... metal halide bulbs create shorter internode spacings... 
hows things coming along bob?

well, since you asked...
I don't have enough Strawberry DD for a 96 plant monocrop... But I have ultimate strawberry diesels to fill in the spaces. I have moms vegging so that in the future I can take 200+ cuts and monocrop every time.

I've been busy doing improvements. I bought 3 55gal drums to store water. 1 for each pod, and 1 for RO. I should have picked one up for the veg tent too... but I'll make do. Now I can leave for a week and not worry about mixing up more nutes...
So on with the show...
I'm 3 weeks in flower...
Ganesh Ultimate Strawberry Diesel
Strawberry DD
Hortilab Sour Amnesia
The middle plant is Sour Bubble x SSSDH... unless someone has seen SB grow like that.
ChemD- this plant is a BEAST!

It's heatin' up in here!
100 #2 "prune-pots" came today... Things are falling into place. I think I'll be rebuilding the racks on Monday, finish up on Tuesday... Get everything loaded up right away and let it rip!
I'm getting everything cleaned up, improvements getting finished... And then maybe... A fresh thread for a fresh grow? I think so.

looking good bobble!
keep on keeping on brotha!
cheers,

I think I'm switching to these flag drippers... but they're not pressure compensating... so I don't know that they'll work on multiple levels...
If they clog, the top comes off to be cleaned. 100 micro inline shut-off valves are a lot of work to dial in...
Or I can get these adjustable flow drip stakes...
EDIT: adjustable flow drip stakes were my final decision. The micro inline shut-off valves cost me $0.59 each, plus a $0.20 stake... I got these for $0.60 each. No need to worry about uneven flow from pressure... I just have to adjust each one accordingly... My babies need the attention anyway.

i was looking at the second one over here they look quite good iirc they can flow 40L per hour... not that you would want that much flow but still they dont look like they will clog that easy.. go for it look forward to your updated drip system as if the blumats dont work tou they are what i will be running... thats providing you dont like them for some reason
