ahh 6 wheels would be easy ...geting the 80 clones per each one would only cost you like 7.50$ for the root plugs..and would do 2 wheels on each cyle and could be spaced 2 weeks apart...cuting 160 clones could be done with 5 to 6 mothers. under 400 watt mh or t5s or ....space the wheels out every 2.5 weeks so if you wanted you could get the clones from actually topping a whole wheel at a time to get the clones for the next time and soo on..giving a small 4 by 8 veg area for 4 to 7 days and then a larger room for the rest of the wheels...and have a 30 gallon rez per two wheels with each there own pumps with a water top off system..

You pretty much read my mind except for the topping part, although a great idea for producing clones, IMO multiple bud sets would cause more shade and overlap than what you want in such a condensed space. I want to try to keep it mostly cola with individual root systems and see how i can pump her up lol just my idea behind it, but a fully topped wheel with less plants would also be an approach worthy of trying..bet yeild would be similar..the beauty of the machine in my eyes is the ability to utilize all the available light with no reflector..not really the plant # capacity. Topping and training them may be they way who knows till we try!

i will know soon. and you can see it before you try it.

Can you please play with a couple of large mirrors once you have the VGs in the zone, and give us the forever tunnel of bud shot? I was thinking how cool ten are going to look then I got tunnel vision.

the topping would be fine..you would just have to top early and close and top them all the same time...and hieght..i have done soo and and a week or two later there the same hieght as the untoped plants but with 2 tops..

No problem man. Good find by Sammy. I had trouble using it though as everything is in metric and I am too lazy to do the conversions.

Nice harvest man, you gotta be pleased with that!

The freeware software thing, I looked at it, and mentioned it to others in the know, and they said it was a bad idea to download it, as one can never know who it is that's behind it, I mean, it is prob innocent enough, but one guy ran a check on the code and found the coding I pasted below Looking at it, catch messages wtf? and what is a hyperlink listener??? Oh Ohh, I deleted it and cleaned up any cookies I might even do a system restore to jump back a bit. I'm just saying, it could be iffy.
This is the code......
(He wrote) Just checked some of it... looks fairly innocent, but I wouldn't use it!

But This kind of stuff worries me :-

CODE
jTextPaneAbout.setText("<br><center><font face=Verdana>"
+ Messages.getMessage(Messages.menuHelpAboutContent)
+ "<br><br>" + "<a href="+CannaGrower.webMain+">"
+ CannaGrower.webMain + "</a>" + "</font></center>");
jTextPaneAbout.setEditable(false);
jTextPaneAbout
.addHyperlinkListener(new javax.swing.event.HyperlinkListener() {
public void hyperlinkUpdate(
javax.swing.event.HyperlinkEvent e) {
if (e.getEventType() == javax.swing.event.HyperlinkEvent.EventType.ACTIVAT ED) {
try{
Desktop.getDesktop().browse(e.getURL().toURI());
}catch(IOException ex){
Messages.showException(ex);
}catch(URISyntaxException ex){
Messages.showException(ex);
}catch(UnsupportedOperationException ex){
Messages.showException(ex);
}
}
}

Nice job max! I just started reading this thread today and it took me several hours to get through it. It was your avitar that got me curious. Very nice looking buds. I hope you get to your 2 elbow mark!!!

[omenman]

hey wheel did you say you topped in the vg or supercroppled..i was going over my purplekush mothers..and snaged 77 new clones..soo i just have to wait till they root them on off..thinking of topping them off early..then flower...any thoughts?

[WheeloFortune]

sure, but since this is an old completed journal, why don't you check out my grow and see what i did with your own eyes in my pics. and i would love to answer any questions there, besides. . . i need the traffic. lol.

to answer you though, I LST'd them to the perimeter and vegged them for a month (only had 8 plants.) its working good, but not worth the veg time.

next run I will use around 30-40 plants, lst them an veg for a week or so. i want to find a happy medium for veg time and using less than a full load, but still pull a good yield.

topping them all might be just as effective, but honestly i think that the full load/no veg will yeild the most in the least amount of time, if your not worried about plant count, which I know your not.

[Droopy Dog]

Whew!!!

Lots of reading, but very informative and helpful.
