i get great coverage with my 600........i can cover a 4.5 x 4 foot area with my lights and they are not on a mover
2 600 on a mover is more than enough for 3 systems.......thats 400 hps per unit if u yield 1.4 grams per watt using co2 (i hit that) u can hit 5 oz average per week

11/32 is a measurement of the drill bit. The tap sizes are based on thread pitch. A 10-32 tap is not the same as a 10/32" bit. There is no such thing as a 11-32 tap.

not sure were your getting this 10/32 tap cause 10/32 = 5/16
basic fractions

I am running 4 dif type of sprayers cause Im cheap and get most mine on ebay and I use my 11/32 drill bit for all them and a threaded screw (machine thread) to tap them. Its real easy and Ive never had one blow off yet:peace:

Not sure where you are getting your information from but 10-32 does not refer to fractional measurements as you point out, if it were a fraction, it should have been reduced to the lowest common denominator.

10-32 and 10-24 are identical holes, just different thread pitch (ANSI No. 10 screw size 32 threads per inch) Don't believe me? Look it up yourself. http://brassmein.com/tech/taps.htm

the point was that an 11/32 is all you need
they dont need to be tapped.

this is silly

That's fine but don't correct something if you don't know. Some people prefer the clean cutting of a real tap vs. using a screw that doesn't actual cut the threads as much as pressure imprint them.

[edit- sorry, I just realized it was andyman that suggested the screw. Honestly, I tried the first ones without the tap, and the tap really does help, especially for permanent threads that will be nice and sharp, helpful when removing and replacing the sprayers after cleaning. ]

DB If I remember you grew Blueberry. I am building my flower unit. What do you recommend for spacing for BB. I heard it is bushier than others. Did you go with the stock 7". Thanks.

right on, thats a damn good idea!...questions though.
1. will they back out with water perssure over time?
2. why do you need to take them out to clean them?

i say that but then again if you are using stinks recomended nutes......well there's poo in there. i use gh3part and only have to deal with a bit of salt. and clearex or drip clean or any ol' cleaner like them work great to flush the salts.

sorry /rant:eyesmoke:

the only reason Ive had to take mine out was when I didnt have a filter on my pump and root chunks pluged my sprayers.

and I thought mindphuk whas talkin drill bit sizes/taps forgot about tap thread sizes rather than drillbit fraction sizes sorry.
the screw I use makes friction when I first put it in and heats up so it melts the threads in. They are allways there and work fine after I do it.
That way it makes it easy to take apart for cleaning.

Depends on your growning style. Lollipop, bush, tree, spacing can range from a few inches apart in a tight SOG to a foot apart or more. Veg time is also another factor.

Outdoor growers are heading inside now so I thought if might be a good time to start a thread on how you can harvest a pound every three weeks from a 7x8' closet.

I'll take you through my process from start to harvest.

What is different about my system vs. others?


3) I take my cutting from my veg plants. This way I can run 10 different strains without having to keep 10 mother plants.

Thanks for the great read. If you are still around when do you take your cuttings? Right before they go to flower?

What a great thread!!! I've been spending the last few days trying to read everything (currently up to post #981)....and though I have much more to read I've already decided to make this system and follow the instructions as closely as possible. As mentioned I will read the entire thread. Yes I will....but I have a question regarding the flowering rotations...

So in a 3 SB system flowering rotation...when one system is harvested, how do you move the other 2 systems over? Do you just move the fence posts (untie plants from current support) over or do you move an entire system over? Is the system sturdy enough for such a move? Tanks in advance braddahz and sistahz!

This is totally awesome, and I give you so much respect for taking time to make this thread. Some people will take imformation anyway they can get it, and some people will give it anyway the can. This setup sure seems to be a winner but it just takes a small investment to get started. I really am taking this thread to the heart and will be following each individual step as you described it. That sure is a lot of pot though, I will not ever grow as much as you but then again I only need to supply weed to me and my girl. The only downfall about growing for patients is that more people know what you do. Therfore more attention, more risk to raid or burglary. I have a friend with aids and he has a med card to grow or have somebody grow for him. He is 63 years old and can't grow for himself. He offered to fill out paperwork for me to grow for him. I feel that I would be too paranoid because once the paperwork is filed then I would be in the system and everybody and there momma would know what im doing. In Washington State they had an operation a few years back and they busted alot of medical growers that is another reason why it scares me. Also the guy is not doing very well and I hate to say it but he is not going to make it much longer. So after he died they would probably bust me. Just out of curiosity do you sell to your patients? I not sure how the whole med thing goes down. It is also awesome how you take care of that woman with the little kid. Things like that make me think about my situation with life and think damn I really dont have it that bad. Keep up the good work buddy! Your a good person with a big heart. If only the rest of the world could see things the way we do. Godspeed to you and your patients!
