Harvest a Pound Every Three Weeks!

So my friend pedro went to the hydro store and discussed what kind of deal they could do for him on a light setup. The hydro store guy basically dissed setup (A)CoolSun XL reflector and said that setup (B) is way better because of no restricted airflow that (A) causes

(A)


(B)


What do you guys think?

I have cords running from all over the house. One from the front, one from the back and one from the laundry room. Not to mention the power in the room.

How the fuck do you find an electrician you can trust?

The larger reflectors are better for light, Cool Tubes are better for heat.

I use medium sized reflectors. The most important aspect to me is maintenance. Get a hood with hinged glass. It's easy to clean and change the bulb that way and you won't drop the glass on your plants.

Any modern reflector will work great for your grow.

How to make buble hash:

Go to flea bay and buy a 4 bag kit. Do a search for bubble bags. I just bought some for $60. Buy two 5 gallon buckets and a shit load of ice.

Now take bag #1 and place it in the 5 gallon bucket. Fill it half way with ice and add your shake. Fill it with water about 3/4 of the way to the top.

Put a mixer on a drill and start mixing for 20 minutes. Put bag #2 in the other bucket. Now pull out bag #1 and set it aside. Take the water and drain it through screen #2. Pull the bag down over the sides until the screen becomes tight like a drum.

Take a spoon and scrap off all the hash. Put it between two coffee filters. Put the filters on a towel and fold the towel over the filters. Now press out as much water as you can. You can even softly tap it with a rubber mallet.

You will end up with a disk of hash. Lay the disk out to dry.

Now take bag #3 and put it on the empty bucket. Drain the water through the bag and follow the same steps as before. This will be a different grade of hash. Way more pure.

Repeat the steps with bag #4. The hash from this will be the purest. Nothing but trichomes. It bubbles when you smoke it!

You will cough your head off!!!! I don't even smoke it straight anymore. I just put a little on a bong hit. Make sure you know where you put your keys before you smoke it. Might as well write your cell phone off, you'll never find it without calling it first.

One more thing. You know the buddy with the iron lungs? We all have one. Slice up a huge chunk into powder and load him a giant hit. It won't look like much to him but stand back and watch the show! Watch the colors his face will turn. Red, purple, blue then white.

I have a sick sense of humor...

this looks like a bad ass system

I'm ditching the whole aero thing after reading all the CFL posts. I've decide to go with CFL's and soil because I can't afford an Aerogarden yet.

Here is a photo of my new grow op. Almost ready to harvest...Yea baby!

What do you think? Should I do a tutorial?

man you got to give me a link for that man.....that is the shit....

I had a quick question. I read somewhere in this post that you [stinkbud] kept using the clippings of your veg plants for cloning (meaning that you never kept mother plants). I read somewhere that the potency decreases the more you clone off generations rather than a single plant. Is that true or have you even noticed a difference?

I just completed a three stage perpetual grow but have no room for a mother plant. Is a mother plant important enough to go out of your way to make room for one or is it more work than necessary?

Thanks to all opinions and comments

I can answer this. A clone is an exact genetic copy of the plant it came from. 1000 generations later you are still getting the exact same plant. There no loss of anything whatsoever.

This system uses no mothers.

Awesome!!! That's what I wanted to hear

Thanks

get a ups they are not that much and will keep those pumps and lights up and running - at least a couple of flouros untill it is all back up - and if you shop around you can get one that will keep a hps on a good while.
they have a battery built into them but you simply take it out and run a set of cabeles to a couple of car batteries . The electrict goes off they come up instantly and keep it all running smooth. I have a couple of them I bought at a actuion for 5 bucks each and they will each run 600 watts of equipment.If you want to get really serious with them look in the solar power suppliers on the net they can range from a 200 watt one to one capable of running a entire house.

Right on Picasso! You nailed it. My Blueberry cutting has been passed around here for over 25 years and it's still dank as fuck.

Very nice thread. But with one flower chamber you still will never get a pound every 3 weeks. or am i missing something

Ya your missing that the system is designed around 3 flower units. One unit will be harvested every 3 weeks. Each unit will produce around a pound each.

It is REALLY easy to add new breakers and run wires. I've done this in several places throughout my house, including wiring my entire growroom which is in my basement and had NO outlets whatsoever.

Dirt and Stink -- if either of you guys (or anyone else) wants help with a step by step walkthrough I'd be happy to help. I'm not an electrician or anything but this stuff is really easy to do. Also the library is a good source for info and they have all sorts of book on how to do wiring, etc.

There are very few steps required and I'll outline them here without getting into too much detail.

1. get all your supplies (outlet, wire, new breaker, wire strippers, electrical tape, etc.) and decide where you want outlets, etc.
2. run your wire from your breaker box to where you want electricity.
3. wire the outlet(s) up - it's super easy there are a max of 3 wires for one outlet and if you want multiple outlets on the same breaker you just connect them.
4. shut off main power to house - it's the big switch at the top of the breaker box add your breaker and connect the wires.

It's really this easy guys. Now there are codes in certain areas such as wiring needs to be run in conduit (metal pipe) so it may not be to code but wtf I'm not getting an inspector etc...

If you guys need any help just say the word and I'm there.

I used wire already housed in flexible metal conduit, works great

I know it's really easy to connect the wires and everything, but isn't there still a limit to how much power you can use? If you have too many things on one breaker, how do you add another breaker to get more power?
