Here is wk 3, If u notice I started @ the bottom so the bigger plants dont shade the younger ones., I also trim prior to flwr, and again in wks 3-4 if needed. The lower 1/3 is trimmed off, some say not to do this, some say to do it. From my experience it is best TO DO IT. all thos tinny little buds towards the bottom suk ass, and that is a waste of energy the plant cld b usin for the bigger buds... Not to mention those little fukers r hard as hell to trim lol.

I must admit I am pleased with the way this system has turned out. For ne1 wanting to emulate or build upon this systems foundation, I would say I have about $150 us in it, and most of that was in the PVC stand. However I would suggest using a much bigger rez, I only used an 18 gal Rubbermaid tote, and while it does wrk im going through about 5- 7 gallons of fluids a day now and it sux.

Bob, I found that I had a problem with the tube getting heavier in places causing a slight dip in the tube and causing an overflow in the plant sites in those areas. If u go through the thread ull c how I did it. I WOULD SUGGEST USING A BETTER SUPPORT SYSTEM. other than that I had no problems, it had plenty of root room and was much easier to clean than I had anticipated. I simply pulled roots up through the plant sites and used a small shop vac to get wat was left. then flushed, any remaining root matter was flushed to the rez, and easily removed, then i did a mild bleach flush followed by fresh water flush to insure all bacterium n shit was gone.

I so wish I had the room to run 4 of theses babies, 4-5 rows each and 2k HPS could easily pull 5+ perpetually cycled using that system. This is Y I shared because I know some one will be able to do this on a larger scale and I would love to see that....Some day man some day. When using one system perpetually it was difficult to keep the nutes just right for all stages of growth. The simplest thing was to go light on em, but I think this more than likely affected my overall weight in product. since I stopped using it for perpetual and use 3 other systems for clones n veg for a 3 week rotation.
The Super Lemon Haze was not a good strain for perpetual cropping as it took around 10 weeks to flower to where I wanted it. It was however some excelent smoke, and I would asume one would fetch top $ for it, but I wouldn't know anything about that ;). The purple skunk was good as it took 8-9 weeks, and all thought it was a heavier yielder than the SLH, it dont quit have the weight I was looking for.

I have now started 2 Blue Haze clones in hopes it will turn out, however it is predominately sativa, so again probably not what I'm wanting. But the buds look amazing on the Tude, and I couldn't resit in trying. I am now running some RockLock from DNA them boyz have killer genetics and I am looking forward to theses results. From all Ive researched on this strain, it may be just what Im looking for.
