Just. Wow. You've got this system pretty much dialed in.
Just. Wow. You've got this system pretty much dialed in.
The first 9 are under hps now I will veg for 3-4 days then I will pot them into the vertical pots, another 6 are showing roots I will wait till I get another 9 rooted then pot up the same as these. The first wall will go in a few days before the 2nd one, I want to harden them off before they go into the verticals so we can use the 400w straight away, now need to make decision HPS or MH I do have both lamps to hand.
Having 2 walls staggered will give me more idea on perfecting veg time the key to doing well in something like what I have is getting the veg time spot on and this will be different strain to strain lol. Defo the key to good results will be growing clones of the same plant in 1 wall mixing different plants in walls would be less than optimal I'm sure. I'm pretty certain to get 2g/w in a circle you will need to grow the same strain several times to perfect the technique.
Yes we do need to clean the tent out lol, the bigger plant is the mum, the cloner is refilled as I have several friends I'm supplying clones to so they can run this system as well in different forms, one is going full circle, 1 making a wall and 1 is building a microgrow with a 250w hps and 6 planters.
The decision to go organic with soil was easy I ran out of coco, perlite, vermiculite and fytocell. Buying compost today is going to be uber fun :) I can already imagine the looks.
And yes my heated prop overheated so I cut the plug off and use it as a tray only now

I keep light levels very low where I clone I only use 2 11w CFL lamps which is probably why I haven't seen slime in the aeroprop but I do have long cloning times 14-18 days where as when I did use a 250w hps originally I was seeing roots at day 7 and well rooted by day 11/12. I do find you never get any yellowing at lower light levels and obviously it's cheaper to to run.
I have a separate box I clone in and run the sprayers 24/7 I only use the aerocloner in cold weather if I clone over summer I normally use a glass of water on the windowsill with 90-95% success rate.
My heated prop thermostat failed and it over heated itself which is maybe why it was $15 lol you get what you pay for.
I also have one of these props but I never us it was >$120 but is actually crap never got anything to clone in it yet.

I will try it again for starting seeds only for veggies, the propagators that come with it are very poor quality but it takes standard sized props so easy to replace.
very sweet set up bro. just 1,daft thing! mate that tent floors manky as hell.lol. u might get bugs or mold etc. mine gets dirty but every week i bleach it down with ona bleach.anyway
peace.
great luck.not u need it like.looks amazing.
The lesson from this thread is, "don't do this".
This setup prevents adaptation and response to the plants needs.
I was ready to see it work, but had my concerns.
Thanks for the show.
How'd you know it didn't work? Could be plenty of other reasons why the journal hasn't been updated man ..
Any update @Desertboy
