Hydroformer's 4kw 4 Trees grow

[-Capfan-]

Well, you have to spend money to make money, am i right? =P

Lol, a Rdwc you wouldnt recommend ?

Nice hydroformer. I hope you give updates until the grow is done. I get sick of people showing their setups and veg pics but then stop updating after that.

Good luck.

 

[Hydroformer]

I'm not saying that, I'm just saying it's not the cheapest way to grow

man thats a sweetass setup bro. very clean ,neat and organised. i have never done one big plant per light in all these years as i like quick turnover for many reasons. but now that i am legal i been thinkin about it. for now i will just watch you rock it. great job man. those tubs look like the one from hd i picked up. like 27 gal i think.

Thx man!
Yup same ones, the nice thing about this configuration is... some plants get 2 bulbs and some get 3

A question for all the sane growers out there... Now that the RNC had made it clear they want nothing to do with Ron Paul who are you gonna' vote for?!?!?

Cleaned out the inner sucker branches yesterday currently the plants receive 25 gallons of .3 ec/600ppm top off every three days. I'll probably end up flipping the room from 15/9 to 11/13 next week

Dude!! You've got skills!! I am just finishing my U/C system so will sub to this for sure. Nice work! so you e.c is only 0.3? Mine comes out the tap at 0.23

 

[Hydroformer]

My bad.... 1.3ec

Wow that is one of the slickest grow rooms I've seen on ICmag in a long time. Very nice craftsmanship on it all and the hydro system. You're well on your way to a very nice harvest.

if this keeps up ...we got another contender for "grow of the month" Sept......
w/ my nomination of course....and salutations to follow....

Dead sexy, i always wanted to make a big RDWC like that. Alot of work, planning, and cash, but it looks sexy. I ended up going blumats and smartpots instead.

question : arent you supposed to keep the bottom of the net pot at water level so you dont get roots in air between the net pot and the water? Something about cord roots ?

 

[Hydroformer]

Thx guys!

Dave-
I do see people doing that, I'm from the school of having the water level 1-2" below the net pot, the bubbles still splash the media keeping it damp but not soaked.

Looking great man! Any trouble with temps by chance?

Also, curious what your thoughts are for either coil or non coil chiller?

 

[Hydroformer]

Water temps fluxuate from 64*-68*F lights off/lights on
Air temps are 68*/85*F

Not sure what you mean?
My nute solution runs through the chiller coil than back into the system, sorry never tried a remote chiller coil in the epi.

Nice pic, thanks for answering all my questions

i reallly wanna see these girls at the end of there cycle!!

With those fans underneath the bulbs directly ( a idea im snatching btw, thanks! ) How close can those leaves get before burning?

You by chance Defoil your girls at all ? before/after stretch?


--

Ive been doing mine about 2 weeks ( after stretch ) but considering of doing it right before the flip, get better airflow/light to bud sites.

Some reason i cannot edit my darn posts =/
