[offgridgrower]

Dooooooood! Nice job-looks great o.g.g.
looks very sturdy too,how many ladies gona warm those benches?
Props too you sir-hbr

thanks, i got 2x8's by accident and I climbed up the shelves to see how strong they were, it held me so we good!!how many ladies, as many as can fit!!! the more the merrier thats for sure. i got a ISS mama and a SourDiesel mamma that i can take about 12 cutting off of next week.
hey HBR what is your measurement from your top 3 shelves apart from each other? i think my top shelf is 69" from the other top shelf and the middle shelves are 48" from the other shelf, is that too much? im going to put the lights in today and test out the temps over the weekend.

when my lights go on ill check for you...remeber do not veg more than a week and prune less than normal._i believe my overpruning cost me about a pound or so if not more...i just smoked some killer sour d last night and forgot about the face melting effects of sativa! Are you gona use bushmaster on em?

no bushmaster, im using the bonaticare nutes, liquid karma, pro bloom for soil and sweet, berry flavor, I think I will have to go another week cause my clones arent taking off just yet they are still pretty small, well the ISS is but the SD is growing crazy so I'll have take a cutting off that b4 i put it in the stadium. i got 24 ISS and 1 SD clone on the table now, plus I want to start out with a "standard" control batch, then I can add different nutes and stuff to see the differences ya know, my buddy wants me to use this liquid light stuff from dutch masters on the next batch so thats the first additive I'm going to start with.(plus he has it already just waiting to use it, lol)

oh wow...very nice..thats like a strait up NF shit...i think the next round im going to be following it this style without the bricks and use 2 by fours and 6s... im using grow bags right now but i think that im going to be switching to the i gallon plasic pots..the bags are too much pain in the ass for watering and dirt goes everywhere cus the drain holes are on the side of the bags... keep it up... props plus rep..

nice job. very square, i would think you are a craftsman by day. unless you are one then that would explain it. why do you build stadiums as opposed to coliseum? this question goes out to hbr as well. peace and happy growing

 

[headbandrocker]

hehe i suck at building! I had to have some help on my setup-i would be interested in a coli style though,my carpentry skills are a 2 outta 1o and i ahave to borrow my tools.
Have you built one? If so share the details cause im interested-i went with this stadium because i was pressed for time/money-shouldnt be a problem next round

super simple. i did not build that one, harmoniousflow was the mastermind. he has since done some modifications but the concept is the same.

Looks great OGG i'm pullin for ya. I plan on joining the VSOG community here ina few more weeks, waiting for my spots current tennants to move out and its mine Dec1! +reps

great job man !!



- Can u explain what the stadium does ?


is it making the light more usable ? I can see that happening, cuz its basicly curved.. leaving the weaker light to actually balance out the bottom light ????

huh i think i just understood it



Cuz if u had it flat you would be loosing light, growth on the outer plants ?

space still stays the same

excellent

what type of soil are you using? in my soil mix only the first watering does the soil fall out, but after it gets wet on the bottom no more dirt falls out, im using 30/30/20/20 spag moss, perlite, vermiculite, worm casting(rabbit hills)

I am a prop maker for the film industry, I can make anything given the right amount of money and time!! I read that thread and i can see it being worth it if I had space limitations but I dont right now, plus I went with this stadium first for money issues, (not enough right now) and for KISS(KEEP IT SIMPLE STUPID) because I already have alot of work ahead of me, but in the future I am going to convert this stadium to an aero setup, maybe by then I will go coliseum aero, I think you buddy should go that way too, easy convert for him to do to that system he already has, Aero is the best way to go, IMO
but in the end it is about doing the easiest to get the most out then work on some advance stuff. stay tuned an lets all see what happens!

thanks!, cant wait to see what kinda space you got to work with!!

 

[offgridgrower]

great job man !!

i

you got it figured out! lol but it also makes for an easy system too, watering by hand this grow easier to reach each plant too but could easily be converted to many watering systems ie: drip, flood, aero....

and to be honest i love HBR's pics of his wall of dank, I had to have one of my own!!! speaking of HBR did you take that measurement for me on the shelf distance?

 

[offgridgrower]

sorry for all the replies using this proxy doesnt allow for all the features of the site such as multi quote,

 

[DWR]

cool man...

Water will be easy, thats true ^^

I will do the same once I go bigger Or I might make a 2 story high stadium....

shit no,my bad i will in 8hrs when my lights go on for sure-
I stoped rotating them thinking they were pretty much finished and now i got hella leaners! My middle shelf got the best light and the nugs on that shelf are like 1 oz+ cloas-so if a vert room was done at that distance you would have beast nugs!hbr

sweet setup

 

[offgridgrower]

this is my 1st week summary:

had to push the 1st batch for another week, they took a while to take off , from the transport and new home settings i guess, plus the 1st batch was to get everything dialed in anyway, plus this push works out for me by offsetting some of the work load. now instead of me cloning, changing rez, and moving batch to bloom, i can clone and change rez one week, and the following week move to bloom and water with bloom nutes and have a week off b4 doing it all over again, so im not too bummed about it!

took clones for the 2nd batch, ended up with 23, 19 ISS and 4 SD
none wilted this time after cutting! im stoked. I knew the new place would work out better!

the mamas look great too,

I went ahead and switched my mamas and my cloner , here it is (note the 82deg is from me working in the room with the door open, when the tent is closed up, it stays an even 76-7

this SD clone is beautiful, using her to test out total flower time for SD vs ISS

and this is the 1st of the ISS to take off , you can see where the ph issue affected her b4 she was tranplanted this is because I had to have this 1st batch at a friends while the new place was getting setup, and he keep the ac on all the time!! really messed with my babies, but the 2nd batch looks so much sweeter now!!
