Hey Advocate!

Thanks for stopping in.

 

[Advocate420]

Thank you for having me. I like your approach

 

[VexGrows]

Thanks, man.

I sorta went nuts on the Red Deez clone to get a feel for manipulation. Tried many techniques.

This vixen has been bent over tied down, topped, fim'd, supercropped, and spanked. For good measure. Lol

Here are her clones. So far so good, going on 3 days. My first attempt, ever. .

 

[Pennywise]

Good luck with your clones Vex

Started the perpetual grow conversion.

Still waiting on the 2x2 tray, 2x2 T5 8 lamp light, rockwool slabs, reservoirs, pumps, and a few other parts.

The carbon filter exhaust is temporarily placed below. Looking for a good permanent spot.

Cant wait to watch this rockwool grow.

Thanks, bud.

I built a little box out of 1" pink foam board and duct tape (my best friend) in hopes it would quiet the quad air pump's humming. Nope!

Back to square 1....

Thanks man! I'm attempting to convert from DWC to Ebb n Flow/Rockwool for this perpetual tent. For uniformity's sake.

Vex, I built a ebb and flow system 25 years ago. It was a Sea of green perpetual system. I cloned the mother, in perlite, until roots were nice and long, then transferred into 4" mesh pots in an expanded rock called Turface. The mesh pots were sat on the veg flood table, and under each mesh pot I put a square of synthetic fiber lace... this helped "wick" the nutes into the roots. Switching to flowering room, meant moving the pots onto the new table in the flowering room, and starting them on their new nutes. The plants stayed in the mesh pots until harvest.

I made the tables myself out of plywood and an epoxy coating they use on milk tanks. This enabled me to size them right, set them on supports, and flood and drain all the tables at once from a 100 gal reservoir. Nowadays that would not work, because of the variety in nutes we can use at various stages to produce good results. My setup was 12 X 1000W HPS and 1 X 1000 MH veg light... so, I'd probably need 2 or 3 reservoirs for that setup.

But, that will never happen again. I had that garden for three years and it was mad fun!

I don't know what strain it was (bag seed) but it was wonderful.

I really like your grow and I'm looking forward to learning...

Thanks man, I will keep this in mind when building mine.

Should be receiving my T5 lights tomorrow and hopefully my Goliath soon....still no shipping info or confirmation. Ugh

 

[weenmeoff]

Hey Vex! Your girls and set up looks great! It's gonna get brighter once you add the Goliath. Those 3D mock up pics are wicked cool. Look forward to seeing your new set up come together. Nice job!

Re: 1st Grow - Ebb & Flow - 2x2x7 - 2 Strains - Training & Cloning - 2017

Hey Weenmeoff!

Thanks for stopping in and the kind words. I'm excited to see what 2 plants under a Goliath in a 2x2.5 will produce. Aiming for 3' max height..

Ha, I honestly think I have too much fun designing grow setups, even when I know I won't use it. Definitely helps me with sizing equipment before purchasing.

Example of a larger grow with Goliath Bloom area and PS1000 on rail Veg/clone area.

 

[Pennywise]

Man if i only had the space, a couple of your designs look really good.
