hey what i mean is when i get the fence posts all cut.. and i run my 3/4 inch hose into the fence post.. do i just lay the 3/4 inch hose along the bottom? or what is stopping it from flipping around and being upside down.. inside the post?

thanks.. and im in kanada so no lowes here.. maybe a plastic bag taped good will have to work?? i was thinking a rubber maid lid glued onto the back of it would work but im sure glue and silicon would wear off fast..

Just a note for those who plan to shop at LOWES...


DO NOT purchase there 4.75" fence posts if there are no end caps available... EVEN if you are told they should be getting a shipment in.

They have been discontinued apparently and they will NOT be getting any in no matter what they tell you.

or you could still get the fenceposts, and the pvc vinyl cement, and fab and endcap yourself. its just in need of a square piece. and that vinyl cement will do the rest. =)

I got it at a hardware store, its used for sprouts that you eat.
the water just runs down little chanels and you dump the res on the bottom over the top 2x a day and the water just runs down the drain dripping and slowly keeps it all moist but enough water to keep em from drying out:weed:

i have a ton of the 4.75 inch posts.........and they are now selling 5 inch caps with an insert for the 4.75 at my lowes.......stopped making the 4.75 awhile ago
i like the smaller caps but have used the bigger ones with the insert with no problem

I am thinking of a three post, 33 site system (11 sites per post). How big a pump will I need to power 36 sprayers? better yet, anyone know the formula for GPH/sprayers?
Click to expand...
Recommended pressure is 25 gph/sprayer going a little lower is fine especially
if you run 3/4" from the pump and tee out with 3/4x1/2x3/4 tees and use 3/4x1/2 elbows. For this set-up I would use a Ecopump 633.

Do not use hose for your rails. Check out Sog's grow room discussion and download his plan or go to Stinkbuddies.com and get stinks plan there, If you use pvc you can put elbows on the end and little risers on the end w/ the caps on the bottom to hold the spray rails out of the root system.
Hopes this helps you guys.

have any of you guys ever gotten clones in rockwool and used the stinkbud system? Did you just let them grow through the rockwool or did you rup it all off to expose the root system better. I am kind of scared that its getting too wet with 1 on 4 off so i and only watetring them a couple times a day while the roots are small. Any thoughts or advice?

Dago what is your plant spacing on the rails, I am looking at photo #7. Have you experimented with different distances?
Click to expand...
i started off with the standard 7 but decided that growing them 4 foot tall like i do i like 4 if they are bushy and 5 if they are lanky or more upright
ive also decided to tie them with twist ties to keep them in order......as u see that non tied have no direction except everywhere lol
so......i like 5 holes per 4 foot post
i put one 4 inches from the top and one 4 inches from the bottom and divide the remaining 3 by the distance left
ill be doing a 6 foot post grow and ill probably have 7 plants for the 6 feet
i yielded 22 oz from 8 plants (4 each 4 foot post) using 1/2 of the 600 hps (i have 2 units under each 600).....so i like bigger plants and less of them

Still got the rockwool on my plants and they are into week 2 of flowering, it doesn't effect the plants whatsoever.

The rockwool can become a breeding ground for pest's when high res temps are present. So I use Hygrozyme to prevent pests from taking a home to my rockwool, I recommend you do the same. Dispensaries are noctorious for giving out clones with bugs...
