Ethos Banana Hammock comparative(exodus thread)

Don't feel like a fool talking to me man. I'm a Marine, everyone knows that they put picture book explanations on our rocket launchers just so we can safely fire them. That's a true fact. You can probably fucking google that shit and see the reality of it. I swear on my brother's grave that any AT4 I've run across during my time in had pictures on it bc jarheads can't fucking read words and make thoughts at the same time lol.

Marine Corps! Oorah brother! 88 to 92 for me.

You can run them however you like my brother. Just remember that when those bitches get big and you gotta move that fucking tote bro...that bitch goan be getting pretty frigging heavy less you got a good water pump.

Also, it becomes a tradeoff between space and yield, if you have too many plants in same space....

the amount and quality of your light will play a big part in all of this.

I have pretty optimal set up and i think 2x2 flowering space per plant is a good rule of thumb...less optimal light you might be able to get away with 1x1ish, cuz plants will be smaller....

L

W mainlines think of it as two separate things: a plumbing manifold for big up/down flow and some type of (you choose it) training above. For yield, you’re going for big pipes, flat top.

I’ve found that 8 mains make a big enuff manifold, 2-4 laterals per main coming to top, along w main, gives good trade-off between height and yield for 4 plants in a 4x4.

I’m going with nebulas manifold on mine. Seems to be working well for steak.

I knew cannabis couldn't be the only reason I kept your old ass around <3 Oo fucking Rah

 

[Or_Gro]

The glue is definitely on my list of must grows!

And yields effin great...big, hard, sticky nugs

 

[Smokexbreak]

I’ve got

I’ve got Ethos early glue beans they’ll be on my next run. Also have a bean of dinafems gorilla.

Those were some of the best years of my life. Yep, I figured you had some redeeming qualities besides growing. Lol

Hey guys, hows everyone doing tonight?

Hey guys, hows everyone doing tonight?

Oh you know just 32 pages deep in our new home.

 

[Or_Gro]

Again wish I had a like button

I didn’t know that. I thought res size was purely the size reasoning......


Only “planning” to do one. I was wanting to put hooks all in the lid for LST stake points. But if I can effectively run two in there without a tangled mess where one isn’t taking more from the other, I’m not opposed v

Maybe stick with one to be safe. You think use that bigger net pot probably?

I like 1 plant per res, my first grow i had 6 in same res, then pm hit...suuuuuuuuuuuucked the big one, ag peroxide, uvc, defol, gazillion fans...no fun

Only thing funner woulda been a root infection...

Pick yer poison on the net cup, but a big cup takes a lot of hydroton...

 

[BigOleNugs19]

Yeah I see that! We got a good group of growers here. I see some new faces too!

 

[Or_Gro]

Really?

I feel semi inadequate to even be talking to you guys lol. I sound like a fool but I promise I’m not. I can learn.

We all started at the same place...

Yo @Or_Gro need an opinion on a (4)96 set up. I’ve got your chart for the spacing. The highest PPFD is where the lights beams cross each other. You think placing the plants in between those crosses is better than directly under the light if I ran 4 plants in the tent?

 

[Moabfighter]

Staged. Hope my beans arrive tomorrow.

Hey did I read earlier that everyone in here is using Quantum Boards? Each of my 4 plants have quad QB132s at 300 watts.

Im running qbs myself. I think most of us are

16 qb 132? I only have 4 :/

Pretty much lol. I’ve got (3)96’s currently ordered my 4th one today. I’ll have 6 of them before the summer is out lol.

I have a 12' x 7' x 6' room. That's why I'm trying to fill it with big plants.

I shoot for even 1050ppfd across the top, So i position them for that.

If you have a light meter it’s pretty easy to figure, if you don’t have a meter then use my charts for initial positioning, then watch plant for areas that seem too dim/bright and reposition lights/plants based on that.

The crosslit area is more intense, but the idea is to spread it so that there is even amt across tops. Imo, it’s better to have medium intensity evenly spread across tops, than spots of high and low intensity.
