i have been very swamped lately and some of the replies may be too late but hey... ill just go on down the line, but first the PHEDOR is the shit! butaneless light hybrid vaporizer, i love this thing and it is so worth the 150$ to not have nasty cancerous headache from butane and butane fumes..
Herbal Vaporizer Phedor - Wicked Roots Vaporizers check it out
wow thanks for all the info..;.
im not sure what is up with these rapid rooters? theyre not what i expected.. anyway i will let FDD know when im coming up and we can have a beer!
sk3tch3: rapid rooters work great in my opinion but not as good as aerocloning... beer is great!
I have an idea for the rotating garden and its watering method. I would think that you could fill the 4" tubes with grow rock and rockwool cubes then have a resivore at the bottom. so that when the tube come down it will fill with water/nutes. I belive this would work similar to an ebb-flow cycle. Just a thought for those of you who are interested in trying to build an Omega.
KushMaster85: rocks in the tube is similar to the omega garden w/rockwool cubes in a metal frame and would be pretty much the same except you would have to have a neoprene or similar "cap" for the rocks but let the stem through so they didnt fall out upside down.
An overpriced watering system. Did you see the stretching between nodes on those plants? What a joke. I wouldn't waste a dime or my time on any of these coliseums, octagons, omegas.
TWO THUMBS DOWN
thank you for your opinion which you are perfectly entitled to. if you would have read the thread those stretched nodes are OG Kush and if you are familiar with the diesel line you would know the stretch is due to genetic traits. also the grape ape plants stretched ZERO amount which eliminates your uneducated misunderstanding connecting stretch to grow system. also, there is no reason to be so critical when this is just shared information on an experimental grow. as for omega gardens, i have personally seen 4 and 5 pound yields from 1200 watts. waste is relative to perspective.
Sketche, theres no science behind this. I challenge you to show me where science proves this is more efficient to grow with. Im calling you out, lets hear your indisputable science. I say your full of it.
efficient as in 90 square feet in 25 square feet of space? circumference = pi x diameter or 5 x 3.14 which is 15.7 x 6 foot of height = 94.2 square feet to be scientifically exact for you. this equals more space for plants/more plants/more efficient!
also science tends to say heat rises vertically so a vertical heat cooling path would be the most efficient as well as keeping the plants away from the heat.
science also says that heat rises and gets trapped by physical barriers such as horizontal reflectors, building up and reducing bulb life, and putting more radiant heat into the growroom, whereas vertical has two more efficiency advantages here.
science also says that light reflects off reflective surfaces, obvious but in a horizontal reflector the light is reflecting all over, back through the bulb, hot spots are created, and light is lost, so more efficient by reducing light loss, and having even distribution.
hopefully you will see some of the advantages to vertical growing and why it is going to become the future of garding in space and urban areas where space is limited.
Very interesting. But the lighting is what amuses me. Plants only get light on 1 side of them? The side facing away from the lights dont get any? Or is there some sort of reflector involved to maximize the effeciency?
yes! the plants only get light on one side of them, which i noticed the side away from the lights the shaded buds (not that many) were smaller, i just compensated by rotating the netcup! a reflective material (poly,mylar) wrapped around the entire unit would be awesome.
It would be more efficient if the plants were leaning into the light more.
yes! it definately would, and the stretchy OG kush's leaned into the light almost level and were way better lit, and took up less vertical surface space, think if they were all towards the light it would be like vertical SOG.. i really thought they would go inwards more..
Imagine going large scale with it though, have a bee-hive effect with a light setup in the centre of every cell.
i dont know if you read the article but some guy got busted with 8 omega gardens (they say he built them himself) had a picture.. crazy.. i cant wait to just have 2 going!
