whats the easiest way to prune for one main cola. what i want to try to achieve is getting at least an oz or more per plant do you think that is realistic with the steps you told me about earlier. with 15 sites in 4 pods. would 2 600w still be enough for the four pods or should i get another 1000w. the 1000w would be easier for me to get plus cheaper free 99.

You had mentioned t5 lights, where is the best place to buy a system. Should I get a 2,4,6,8. I guess it would have to be the 8. Bring on the light....

With your exper. why are t5 better then a 400w system?

I'd Go With 8.

They Don't Need Much Light To Veg., The T-5's Are Cheaper To Run, & Cooler To Run.

To Get A Single Cola, You Don't Prune At All, You Leave It Alone, Every Time You Prune-( Top ), Your Plant's The New Growth Comes Back As Two Site's.

Yes If You Have Skill's This Can Easily Be Done. 15 Sites-4 Pod's, With Two 600w.

Hey Hatch,
On another thread you said (I think) that using r. rooters will make the cloning process faster. Can you explain how/why. I'm just cloning at the moment in a dome and heat matt and it norm takes 2-3 wks.

I'm going to try to make a cloner tomorrow. I will look back in your tread for the info I'm sure I saw it some where. Do you rec. hydrotrone the clay balls....

I Use The Rapid Starter Plug's, Growth Technology Clonex Rooting Compound Gel, Botanicacare Power Clone Gel, & Schultz Take Root Hormone Powder, My Bubbler's & I Mist Them Abot Four To Five Timhes A Day For The First Three Or So Day's, I Use 18/6 On The Light Schedule, No Dome & No Heating Pad, & I See Root's In 3 To 4 Day's, They Are Fully Rotted In 7 To 10.......Sound's Like You Are Keeping Them To Hot & Humid, & Actually Slowing The Root Development Down.

Your Going To Try?????,,,,,,You Better Be Able To Build One!!!!,,,,,,,,About The Ball's, That Is Why I Use The 2" Basket's, So I Don't Have To Mess With Them, But I See Alot Of People Using Them, & They Just Bleach Them, & Wash Them Ofter Each Grow, & There Good To Go....Good Luck Tomorrow, I Have Faith In Ya!!!!:mrgreen::blsmoke::peace:

I've just managed to read my way up until this point and first off I'd like to say kudos Hatch. It's very clear that your careful planning on hard work have made you a very happy grower. Secondly, I would like to say you've inspired me to start planning out my own perpetual aeroponics setup. That said, I'm working in a 6'x6'x7' light proof area that can easily be partitioned into several chambers (it is currently one large chamber).

How many chambers do you recommend I have? And how many square feet per chamber? I'm all for a 2 chamber or 3 chamber setup, I just wish I knew more of the numbers. Like: plants per chamber, length of time between harvests, yield, etc.

I'm currently running a 400 watt HPS lamp and would definitely be interested in adding another if it would increase my overall harvest. Also, I was thinking T5 lighting systems for the vegetation chambers, that way the HIDs could give me some serious buds on my babies. =D

I've been working on getting a perpetual harvest together for awhile now and right now I've got a batch of girls growing (my first set of mothers, in a drip feed system). So once I have this aeroponics setup ready my girls will be mothers and I can start taking some cuttings. Whoo!

Sorry if I just hopped in here, but I've read all of this in one sitting and I'm very excited to get things moving along. I would really appreciate your help, thanks!
