Lets have RIU join forces with TPB to buy that piracy island. I'll bet we'd be a welcome addition to the team.

Hey Vegas, Congrats on the setup mate. I'm only on my first grow which right now consists of one plant vegging (will be taking clones soon) and a few seeds germinating. I'm amazed at the amount of time I've put in to this since I got setup two weeks ago. Obviously a lot of my time is spent learning and working around issues as I'm not wanting to spend as much cash as yourself. How much time do you think you'll have to put into your grow (once you've got everything setup). I mean is this a full time thing for you or will you be cool just checking up on things an hour or two a day? All the best mate and I'm looking forward to following your progress.

you tell me to drop it as you post another paragraph. :roll:
the quote was "sarcasm", or i would have quoted you.
For the benefit of all the members and at the risk of banishment, I felt I had to respond to this, couldn't bite my lip so to speak. After receiving an infraction for insulting benvegas I immediately began pming fdd and after several pm exchanges the infraction was removed. Why? here is my quote from 1 of my responses that should cover everything and let everyone know who or where any rats on this board could be.

"Well Fdd we were discussing this in this medium and you took it public again, so I responded to your posts and if misquoting me is your attempt at sarcasm, what is wrong with my attempt at humor? You called me a rat, tattletale etc. well I say to you the only people that could ever be rats here have privileges of seeing IP addresses ( people like you). If I were to use an avatar with a disney world pic and went by the handle of magicdik well what would you think my location would most likely be or not be? I responded to the op and wished him well and I also asked him a couple of questions about his allegations against me, he hasn't answered because he pulled his angry comments out of a hat.
And lastly Fdd, you blasted threepete for saying bullshit, pile of shit etc., well let me tell you he didn't make those comments, you must have pmed him with some warnings and he apologized to you for nothing, you owe him an apology imo."

That's it for me on this thread, unsubbed and forgotten.

We'll use 3 tents for flower and 1 tent for veg/mommies/cloning. Given the ease of the system and all of the money spent in automation, its really not hard. Lets look at what I have to do over a 3 month period:

Get 300-350 clones or seeds sprouted - 8 hours total

Veg for 2-3 weeks, which involves checking ph/nuts daily and water changes weekly. 15 minutes per day to check water and 4 hours for the initial sprout to veg transplant. The water change takes 30 minutes.

Flower for 8-ish weeks, which involves checking ph/nuts daily and water changes weekly. 90 minutes per day to check water and an additional 4 hours per week to account for misc. upkeep. The water changes will take about 4-6 hours to do because of 12 tubs and nut mixing and all that fun stuff.

Cutting/trimming -- Here's where you have fun. :) Harvesting 17-20 Lbs, cutting, trimming. That'll take about 3 hours per pound, at least that's what I can do it in. If I use a machine to do the trimming, it might speed it up. That's just by hand. So lets assume about 60 hours to do it.

Once you cure it and its ready to be packaged that doesnt take much time. Lets say 6 hours for this.

What are we up to time-wise? :) It's a fulltime job no question about that. Since each room is spaced apart start-wise, there will be continual work every day from each cycle. There will always be cloning, always be vegging, and always be flowering and cutting/trimming/drying to do. It wont be all grown at once. I'm sure that was common sense, but just in case. :)


Drama is getting thick.

Not sure if I missed it but have the nutes been discussed?
Advanced Nutrients for everything, schedule is already done from their webiste for the calculations based on the 40 gallon resivoirs for vegging and flowering.
