Rotational growing

the only moving parts are the gear motor and and pumps...as long as those are maintained your fine....the gears are good for at least 5 years and a 550 mag drive pump i was give or take a few years aswell ..and no there not mine...

Hi,

I just got a gi grow system. (240) Can you give a newbie a hand? I am not sure what type of fertilizer solution to put into the system and the drip schedule. I am planning on using clones. After they root through my grow plugs and I think they can stand being upside down, I am going to put them into the gi grow and let them veg for a week. Then force them into flowing stage. Do you think this will work?

Also if you have any other helpful hints, I would be eternally grateful.

those units havent even been around for 5 years, and there are kits out there to fix the rotogrows cause those parts do not last. plastic gears

roflcopter....as i suspected.. just kidding natural.

Omega lets see that omegatron in action already.

i dunno i heard Canadians are only useful as human shields...or is that black people. I need to catch up on my south park history.

jk im sure a tube over the light would work great. Main advantage with these seems to be the efficient use of light and space...cool stuff.

the GIGROW is a nightmare and flimsy with a BS watering system. the rotogrow has got a problem with starting fires. both the BPOD and the Bonsai dont keep their round shape over time and none of these has UL / CSA stickers on them so if you have a fire there is no insurance that will cover anything that happens.

the only one worth spending your good money on and your time is the OMEGA GARDENS and their latest one is really the best one the VOLKSGARDEN. its a one light system that is the right size to go through a person doorway assembled and full of plants so if you ever have to bug out you can do it in minutes unlike any of the others and all the the OMEGA GARDEN units have CSA STICKERS ON THEM MEANING THAT THEY HAVE BEEN TESTED AND APPROVED BY AN INSURANCE UNDERWRITER. Now maybe some of us dont care about that kind of things but i think it shows a commitment by the company that is missing from the others.

once you have the right strain in them these things will change your life, nothing can touch one for yield to watt ratio they are 5 to 10 time what you can do with the same wattage in a flat or tiered system

Yeah don't you dumb asses know anything Your payolla cheque is in the mail. Omegafarmer.....

Hey man, I appreciate this. I'm still setting up and I don't have enough plants to stick in it... . But once i get a mother going, i'm going to start cloning. anyways, I'm pretty stoked at trying to make this thing work. I was going to try to grow ppp and white widow. Not sure if these are the best, but the buds do smoke well

How is the hydro bill with one of those rotogrows?

im sure you wont get an invite to your cousins wedding anyway

I personally have never used one of these...but from the looks of things it looks like this has nothing but positive aspects for you or anyone wanting to use one of these...im just tryin to save some money to do my own testin....personally i like growin big trees not little house plants.....but we shall see in do time.also who cares about some water drippage...the lights are in cool tubes so just wipe the tube down and you are good to go....must be exhausting to wipe down a tube....NOT

the dripping, if you have enough of it can rot your buds. the little details

no cus if it does drip which it doesnt it would ge evaporated...

depends on the amount of dripping and its much harder to evaporate if it drops on bud and not the glass

welll your right...if you flood with an omega garden..you would get some serous drip cus your soaking them in water..with a GI grow you only feed them a little amount less then a table spoon at the most.... soo theres very little if none to drip down...

kinda a dumb question but whats lollipoping or whatever you guys said?

also how much do one of those run? because id like to try that method. right now i use ebb and flow and its doing pretty well for me but id like to do something else, im too used to it.
