And if you like cooking here's a link: https://www.rollitup.org/cooking-cannabis/412878-badkats-cannapharm-canna-caps-uv.html

About the plants... Sunday was 6 weeks gone. The dog if I remember correctly is an 8-9 weeker. Between the hydro and the bushmaster I use things always finish at least a few days early in my setup, so really she's a 7.5-8.5 weeker. That being said, I'm going to start the flush today. It was really nice having a conversation with the wife. SHe lets me talk to her about all this stuff and knows it pretty well. We came to the conclusion that today would be good to start flushing.

A little bit of a downer is the main bud on one of the girls got to close to the light and burned herself pretty bad. I probably only lost a couple grams, but it's sad. I usually don't make mistakes like that in a grow. Plenty of other types of mistakes to make.

I'll get some pics up later. Presentation for class went well yesterday and now I have some free time. I don't know how I ever did college taking 3,4, 5 classes at a time. 1 class is enough for me now, sheesh. And I have to say, it's kinda fun hangin with the kidos. They are all so cute and stupid at 18-21. And I really love the guys that are into a 'scene'... all decked out in their gear. Reminds me of myself back in the day. Slave to fassion (to a point).

I cant stop thinking of a mini version of your closet with a 150 hps. Thinking 3" pipe, 12/12 straight from clone. Only using small clones 2" netpots with like 4" spacing. I need to do some math... which I hate. But I have a vision to work with! What are your thoughts?

Actually... I got the idea for my setup from a friend who was doing a tiny version with either a 150 or a 250 in a tiny closet. Well it wasn't a flooded tube deal, but was the vert screen action. Let me see if I can find the link, it's an old one.

I'm not sure what you mean by 4" spacing. Like 4" between the edge of one pot to the next... or 4" between the center of the pots? Either way I think that maybe a little close. It's really hard to keep plants very small (i've found). They tend to get a tiny bit out of hand. And my only thought with a 3" pipe is the roots clogging it. If you are going strait to 12/12 hopefully that won't be a problem, but it would be a slight worry of mine.

how many inches is the light from the PVC?
Click to expand...
The closest it gets is 14" from the bottom of the bulb to the close edge of the pvc. That is where the three bigger plants on top are located. It's 18" to the corners of the top level. To bottom level is 24-30" from the bulb.

Aero style, So we take this 3" drain pipe and coil it around the cab/closet held in place with hangers, 2 or 3 levels maybe ohhh 12" apart. Then run 1/2 drip line through the pipe with offset 360 sprayers mounted to it. The drain and drip should go together well since they both come in a similar size roll.
Click to expand...
Don't worry about adding pics my friend. My thread is your thread. The 12" sounds about right. I'm confused though, is there a 3" drain pipe you get rolled up? Like flexi stuff or seomthing. Other that that little detail, I am totally getting what you are saying and I think it would be a great idea to go for. I don't see why it wouldn't work (famous last words). Acutally now that I think for a sec you may have issues with the sprayers getting water to the roots. If the drip line is along the bottom of the pipe the roots will cover them and block the spray. Water will still get out, but it will be getting what is on top of it. Maybe if you could secure the drip line to the top of the pipe, that might be the ticket.

I really like the idea. And if you run this you wont need to worry about the roots blocking the pipe up (like I mentioned above). There won't be enough water flowing to build up behind them and overflow things.

I'm a big fan. Let's do this! However, keep in mind I know nothing of Aero, so you might need some help from an aero guy on that tip.

ive thought about adding a fogger to it as well
Click to expand...
I'm not a big believer in foggers. In theory I think it's great, but in practice I think it falls a bit short for two reasons. The fogging tips can get clogged with buildup and they can heat up your rez. These are things I've heard though... I've never used them. Interesting about fog... I guess the california redwoods get like 50% of their water from the fog. That's why they are only in the few places they are, because there is enough fog.

Sorry I didn't get back to you last night like I said... I came home from class and didn't do a damn thing. Passed out watching TV.

God your replies are all nice and laid out. I don't know how to do all that split quoting so I'll just ramble. First, thanks for the light distance measurements. I think I should be able to safely halve those numbers for a 150. You hit exactly on what I thought of afterwards, which is the aero fudging up when the roots grow out. I could come up with a way to mount it high in the pipe instead and yes, it's a flexible 3" drain pipe I'm referring to. You just coil it around where you want and slope it as you go. Lazier means to the same end of building something out of PVC fittings and pipe. The 4" spacing was just a number I was throwing out, not particularly on center with the holes or otherwise. Uhhhh I think I hit on everything now.

Oh yeah my fogger feeds out a 1/2" hose so that would just enter at the top of the coil, no emitters or anything to plug there. I figured I could run the fogger like once or twice an hour during an off cycle of the aero. Who knows, I'm still working things outin my head. Being older and wiser I no longer jump straight into a project without alot of planning first. I hate wasting money on things you don't end up using.

I learned that from restoring old Honda mini bikes, after my first bike I had all kinds of parts and shit I didn't use that I was so certain I needed. I now have the mentality that I don't buy something until I absolutely know I'm going to use it. Made a big difference trying to turn a little profit on those bikes. Anyhow, I'm still working out the bugs in my virtual grow room :)

All sounds good. I learned that lesson with my first grow (or two). Just kept getting more and more equipment that I was so SURE i needed. Half of it is sitting in my attic or in a new home.

Keep us posted on things.

Nice update brother jig. And what a nice collection of beautiful nuggets you have there. Still hitting the BHO I see. Lately I've been getting straight up stupid on that stuff. I've got about 3 grams of that left. Shit messes me up when I put in baked goods. Sometimes I"m almost scared of it. :shock:

Check ya later.

The strains I'm growing right now are from different peeps here on RIU. The NY47, OG Kush, Dog made a long trip from Europe. I actually planted all those seeds in January or something. They got out of control and became a mess. So I took all the plants to a friend who cloned them. He grew out a mother of each and gave me back some clones from those mothers. The Herijuana didn't make that far of a trip. It came from back east and was originally delivered to my friend who gave me the clones. He had an extra clone so I got it. I also a J-1 and a Herijuana X New Blue Diesel but I killed them both (not on purpose). So this is what we have.

I still have the pic competition seeds on their way... plus another pack coming from another friend. And if Jozi is still alive he's got some for me to (where you at bro???)

Oh and speaking of seeds and strains. I got another delivery the other day. 3 new strains, let me get them:
Candy Drop X Purp? - 6 reg
Candy Drop X NY Purp D - 6 reg
Candy Drop X Stomper OG - 12 reg

Also, I think I'm gonna order some Columbian Gold while the sale is going on at seaofseeds. We'll see about that though. I have enough to keep me going at least a year.

I think it's Candy Kush X Chemdog OG. At least that's what the description on attitude says. I am not positive it's the same, but I am pretty sure. I'll have to ask my/ our friend.

I'm stoked for it. The pics of them grown out are amazing. At least I think they've been grown out. Maybe not yet though. It will all become clear to me someday, haha.

MW3 time. Off to suck major ass. I went 3-22 last night. How the fuck can anyone suck that bad??? I haven't even had 1 game with a positive k-d ratio, lol. went 13-14 once, HAHAHAHAHAHA.

I'm pretty good at balck ops though. Can pretty consistantly get the highest score on my team, and we usually win.

I tried to take a picture through my radio shack magnifier. Didn't work like I wouldn' have hoped... but i got something at least. I wish it would come out clear... these trichs are fighting for positions like all 10 basketplayers fighting for a rebound in the paint.
