You vote on my setup!

Ok, so here we go.

Please go to my other threads and read about what is going on so far.

My flowering room, my clones, and my mother plants.

You vote on my setup for the structure for the plants.

It HAS to work on a SoG schedule for 9 weeks. I plan to flower 12 plants at the same time and harvest 4 every 3 weeks.

I will be using hydroton and rockwool, even though I feel rockwool stunts them a bit. IMO I want to try coco next time.

Dutch irrigation drip system in a stadium arrangement 6 trays in a V shape basically 2 trays on each level. Each tray is responsible for 3 weeks of the flowering stage.

Ebb & Flow divided into 3 sections. Each section is responsible for 3 weeks of the flowering stage.

NFT made from square fence posts basically setup like the dutch irrigation trays in a V shape basically 2 posts on each level. Each post is responsible for 3 weeks of the flowering stage.

Aeroponics, but keep in mind I started my clones in rockwool. Could use the same structure as the NFT.

12 DWC 5 gallon buckets, younger plants on shelves to keep light distribution correct.

This will be a home made system. I appreciate any votes and comments from experienced growers. Please stop in and visit my threads.

Keep in mind I plan to eventually evolve up to a vertical grow.

Have you seen this thread?

Yes, that is actually where I got the idea to go aeroponics in fence posts.

I'm not exactly trying to go the same route though because I already have an established mother/clone system.

I liked his thread but a bit over kill for me. I just want 2 ounces every 3 weeks from 4 plants. I think 1/2 ounce is doable per plant. The only thing to figure out now is what kind of hydro setup I'm going to build. Or if there is space double that!

This is for personal, we go through about an ounce a month on heavy smoking easily. I'm just trying to cut back again like I did years ago by growing my own.

I have a ton of experience with DWC but 5gal buckets take up quite a bit of space in the flowering area. A res system can be placed off to the side or even in a different area to conserve space.

OK, so here is an update. I sold one of my possessions and now can afford to splurge and get the HomeboxXL.

I have 4 x 4 to work with.

Ok, Aeroponics it is.

I'm not building the stadium right now as I'm going to use the plants natural height to create the stadium effect.

Here is the unit I have been designing. Keep your eyes peeled for the design in progress.

HPS and Homebox XL are setup and waiting for this.

We demand a stadium.

Ha ha ha, give me about 9 weeks!

I just dropped about $600 at the hydro store.... Damn I wish I could afford batteries in my camera! I'm loving the room setup and working out the fan issue.

I have nearly all the supplies ready to start assembly on Saturday or Sunday.

I had been thinking about it and the only use for a stadium is for reduced LST if all of the plants are the same age, that way their tops all have the same amount of light reaching them. My setup should do this naturally as the plants mature they will be moved out.

I was just having some fun. It sounds like you are going to have a great set-up. Looking forward to some pics.

Thank you everyone for voting.

I'll be back on when everything is up and rocking.
