ok this is what i yielded off of one aero unit that used 1/2 of a 600 hps or 300 hps watts
its 3.9 grams dried and SUPER dank

i should be able to make about 6 grams of hash every week with my current setup

a summary would be great.

list of parts for hydoponics: cloner, veg, flowering
list of lighting, co2, ventilation equipment
nutrient recipes
grow timing strategy for perpetual harvests

i am in colorado. my wife and i are allowed a dozen plants: half mature and half flowering
we are allowed 4 ounces of finished medicine. keeping these things in mind, what strain will give me the best yields?

i can see that lots of people contribute to this site on a regular basis so i'm hoping someone has already written this and they could just paste in a nice summary. please thx and i am not worthy...

lately ive been putting 18 plants under a 600 using 2 stink bud systems
i average about 30 oz off of a 600 but i know i can get much better once i go to just one strain per light

whats your spacing like... I assume you are running a unmodified sb setup. so that's 4 post with 4-5 plants per post?

I don't think anyone is even getting close to that off 1 600? amazing....

ive modified little
i just use the 4.75 inch posts and put 8 in a 10 x 12 room with 2800 hps total watts
i have 4 600 hps and 1 400 hps i use for some dwc i have tucked inbetween the stink units
i might make a single aero unit to replace the dwc......hate messing with 5 units.......ec/ph and the like
aero is easier

mine goes up, slightly
i think its due to my air stones though

what happens is that when its hot and the plants sweat the water is gone but the nutes stay and it lowers the ph and ups the ec
i have to add water every other day

well then what in the world makes mine drop like that then i wonder
this might help


you should be able to tell what your plants are needing or not needing by keeping track of your EC/PH rising and falling in your rez.

without making things complicated, here's a basic rough cheat sheet:

Ec stable, PH goes up=Equilibrium=Good thang.

Hi thanks for all the great information! Really learning alot. Would like to ask a few questions as to how to adapt this great system to my space:
I have a 30' x 30' room with a 3' ceiling height and am planning to go with Dr. Atomic's Northern Lights. Is it ok for me to use hps lights to flower with such a low ceiling height? If so what size is recommended? Would I be able to use 600 watt lights? thanks to everyone in this great thread!

With 3' height I wouldnt even bother growing.
ANY hps would not work.

Florescent would be your pretty much only option.

But I doubt it would be worth even trying to grow with such a low ceiling.

Question all.
Im growing White Russian in 3 standard Stinkbud Units.
Will 2 600's stationary bloom these well?
What about on a light mover?
And lastly What about three stationary, one above each unit?

3' too low? That's what I was afraid of. Is there any way to successfully flower with floros? Think I could have HPS lights positioned on the side of the plants instead on over top?
