my 3 stages of flower

Hey SS how do the rails drain, bottom and I can't see it? Not the grey coupling correct?

Thanks again to everyone here especially SS! You guys are amazing.

I plan on switching to 12/12 Sunday, I can't wait. I got some clones last Sunday will take more today, that way I can give them a couple of days to heal before switching lights. Is this the preferred method or can you take clones right before changing light schedule? Should I give them more days then just the 2 to recover.

Thanks,

they drain into one an 1.5 inch pipe stretching across. there is a 1.5" T connection, that drains back to the rez.

I use 2-3" pipe for drainage. Liek the extra space for flow

Its pretty simple. there are pics in the begging of the thread. its real simple the drainage set up.

You have to USE A DREMEL to get nice fitments...

At the end of the day if you can drain the rails in any way without leaks back into the rez. YOU ARE GOOD





For building the systems, i just sat there looked at the pics SS put up... and figured it out..

good luck

I have a step by step to build everything( pics included)
was gonna start a new thread for it, but honeslty dont have the time, and dont feel like its cool to go off and start a nbew thread. if anything ill post them here...

i also built my own t5 lights.

you need to control humidity in the v room as well, you need a dehumidifier in the f room.

what are you using for pump timers?

the flower systems use 633 pumps.

why are you not using botanicare nutes? why do you have more than 9 sites on your rails?

where the heck are your chillers? how are you keeping your water cool. are youdoin git the SS way with wort chillers or my way with a chiller for each rez??

are you using the Right strains??

take care of the important stuff. get the major things right first if u wanna play. or else your yield will suffer.

Thanks, my system is built just liking all the improvements. I will need to do some mods to mine when time allows.

I see now and then that pipe drains back to the tank through the Tee. I bet that keeps noise down as well.

Sweet.

Yes it does keep noise down, especially with adding a down pipe on the bottom of the T.

SS, lets talk ozone.

I know you use the XXL classics..

But iwas thinking getting the Cap ozone jr. whats your take on all this..

Never used it but looks good.

Are you going to use it in the room or on exhaust in a mixing box? I just read an article on(o3) ozone's effects on plants (NOT GOOD) !
I don"t have the link, but the report was on the M.I.T website. From there botanical physiology dept. Ozone's free O molecule is obviously an oxidizer and the remaining Carbon and O,O ( C02 ) I found it interesting that the free O actually inhibited the absorption of Co2, by damaging leaf stoma. Even though the O3 generator created an abundance of plant friendly Co2,it was useless because of the damage the free O was causing. Look it up,its a short read and kind of interesting. O3 is great at destroying odor molecules & a bunch of other stuff as well. But is best used outside the grow room.

Hi, all! I was looking up some info on growing as I am only on my 3rd grow, [2nd by myself], and came across Stinkbud's Thread about his one pound harvest in 3 weeks. I was hooked right away as I already use a aeroponics cloner to supply myself, so in the past few days I read some of his thread and then skipped to the end to see where he was at with it now being that he started the thread almost 5 years ago. With that being said I have now read the first 100 pages of his and all of this one now and am pretty excited to start building it to fit my needs.

First off I'm not going to be harvesting again until April, so I have time to gather everything and put it together. I am planing on running 24-clones, 12-veg, and 36-flower split into three 12 plant stations, witch will put me right at the allowed 72 plants in my state. The veg room I think I have figured out already, but have a ? about the flower room.

My ? is that I want to run a sealed room with co2, it will be 9.5'x9.5' with a 6'-8' angled roof as I live in a double wide. Will my room still be sealed and smell proof with the one floor vent for my furnace and central air? Also in the summer months it gets up to about 100 degrees Fahrenheit outside here, do you think I will still need a mini-split ac with the central air vent in there? For now I will be running 2-600w dig ballasts, and 1-400w dig ballast all with HPS bulbs and 6" vented hoods with a 440 cfm inline fan as I already have them on my current set up [pro-mix hp. Very hard on my messed up back!].

Thanks in advance for the answers! and all the ones that were answered before I even asked!

No. It will not be sealed. sealed means no exchange of air. Yes, you will need an actually. Minisplit is by far the best. No. Need to take double clones, I do 14 every time and 14 go to flower.

Do you get any smell out side from the mini-split? I live in a trailer park and don't really want to alert the neighbors. That's why I was hoping that my central air would cool it down enough.

With double clones I thought I would be able to pick the best 12 and then spread the love with the other 12.

there is absolutely no loss of atmosphere from a minisplit. you want sealed, its the way.

you mean spread the word that you are growing. even in legal states people are assholes and all it takes is one saying "hey, i know this guy that grows".

Actually by spread the love, it was meant to a close friend of mine that has a hard time coming up with clones. I already give him some when I can.

I want one but it is gonna have to be a little bit yet. I just ordered the CAP ppm3 and a mini-gen, also a active air 1/2hp water chiller, a total of 7 pumps, a 2' 4 bulb t5, and a bunch of other stuff. Plus there is 2' of snow on the ground here right now anyway.

I would suggest returning the co2 stuff if you can and focus on sealing and cooling your room. It's best to get everything else dialed in first anyhoo!

hey, someone was asking about ozone.
and just thought i would share the ozone research I've been doing.

And i would look into Carona Discharge type ozone generators, because they don't require maintnace and don't use UV bulbs to run, and also are supposed to beable to produce more o3, and supposedly can last 10 years. i heard they work though a process that makes some kind of artifical lightning or something.

so check out the Carona Discharge ozone generators.
Here's a good example.
http://www.plantlightinghydroponics.com/uvonair-ozone-generator-c-348_382.html

It is using a piece of glass with metal mesh screen on both sides of glass. Then they pass current through the glass creating ozone. You can make one pretty cheap if you have a neon sign ballast.

Hey SS and well anybody I guess, you mentioned continuous meters are on your wish list. I just realized there is really no need for the multi meters!! We know what our ppms do, so the ph continuous one is all we really need, IMO! Saves a lot of money, well, not for me

Hanna meters suck! I had mine about 2 months now, probably not even. Yesterday I check PH it reads like 8+, I am think no fucking way, yesterday it was 5.91. Got out the drop test kit and sure enough about what it was the day before. So I clean and re calibrate the Hanna seems ok, after 4 or 5 readings all wrong again. PPM still seem to read correctly, WTF. I know SS said something about Milwaukee, how about the Milwaukee Instruments MW802 Smart Ph/EC/TDS Combined Meter. Does anyone have any advise or recommendation for or against?
