I too am switching to hortilux for my next run.

Charlie- Not to speak for max but I have easily made my investment back. I have been living off my wheel for a while now. To everyone else- Dont mess with MH lights in this system! You only need HPS. I only veg for 3 days for a reason!! So that the plants don't come near the light...

WOF after reading your full grow here are some suggestions (this is coming from a wheel grower)- Get the hell away from fox farms! You must have a crappy hydro store who gives you bad advice. Chaching is good but everything else they have is cheap crap. Also stick with one nutrient for the...

And sorry for hijacking your thread Maxx. I am just guessing that u have your hands full with the coming harvest. (nice problem to have!):cheertwo: WHere are some more pics!!?

Hey yo. A thousand watts works just fine. I prefer 2 600s or 2 400s or a 4 and 6 because you get a more even spread of light over the canopy. But 1000 is not too powerful. Just don't let the plants get all the way up to the light. RoorRip

I don't know where you are getting your figures from. For one run on the VG it takes about 70 1.5" rockwool cubes and about 70 3" cubes. The little ones are 20$ total, and the 3" are 50. Thats right 50$! The total in rockwool per run is 70 dollars. where are you getting 300? With nutes...

WOW. We re all psychically linked. In the time it took for me to respond and go through my magazine library - you quoted the exact same article! hahahaha I almost quoted it verbatim as well! Hilarious. And I agree about the vg being 3 ft deep vs 4. Huge advantage. I have room in my...

I have done the research. Go w the v garden. Here's why - the construction is super solid, the wheel is one big pice of tough ass industrial plastic. it won't wont warp the way metal will, over time. Check out the Cannabis Culture #66 May/June 2007 - they have an article on a grower who...

Go with the two 6s. Trust me, it will make a big difference.

Genius idea. I have been wondering myself about how to combine the VG with natural sunlight. Clearly you are more edtucated in this field than I am but it's good to know my instincts weren't completely off base. Good luck and keep us informed on all your progress.RoorRip

I agree w Max. I go the simple route. Just snip, dip in rooting hormone stick them in rockwool cubes that have been soaking for 24 hours in ro water. Then make sure the cubes stay moist and you will have roots in two to three weeks. The good things about this method is that it is cheap...

Sorry but I am very reclusive and I am not in the bay area. And I never post my pics, Max is more courageous than me. I put around 65 - 70 plants in the VG at once.

Oh yes, as to your Mother and clone question - Soil is just fine. Use some flourescents (T5) and keep a couple of mothers in soil in 3 - 5 gallon pots. You can use coco if you want but soil is pretty simple. I use Fox Farm soil, the ocean forest blend. Max is obviously busy. But I have a...

As a vg grower let me help you out. Strains - La Confidential, LA Woman, Purple Kush, Strawberry Cough(though it has haze genetics so veg it shorter), G - 13, Hash Plant, Afghani. You are looking for a short indica that takes 8 weeks. Go buy a Cannabible, by Jason King and start getting to...

you can have a mother plant from a clone in a month and a half. A seed will take about 3 months. Theoretically, seeds are supposed to make more vigerous moms, however it will be hard to tell the difference btwn 60 clones from one or 60 from another. Also I would take an SFV OG mom from...
