Texas is most definitely a sellers market. Shwag runs like water here and theres so many places i can go and turn 30 bucks into a half-O. The range of quality is so wide here though, Ive seen anything and everything from some great green popcorn, to brown moldy shite.

When people get burned out on that stuff, they start looking for dro, and usually it doesnt matter what quality it is, as long as its not shwag, and thats when people start shelling out whatever amounts of $$$ for it.

One of the very few things that i like about Texas is its stable economy :)
You guys think Texas is bad, you should try living in Mississippi.

I am curious, have you tried this system using 3" net pots instead of 2" ?

I'm in the process of building my flowering room and I am doing something similar and have about 100 or so 3" net pots already floating around.... If I could use those instead it always helps to save a few bucks. If not I dont mind getting the others, just figured I would ask.

Thanks in advance !

Stinkbud,

I have read over the last several days just like many before me. I appreciate the details of your plan and love shared through this thread. I have one question though. When you start a new batch in flowering you said you always put the first directly under your lights and then move them out to the sides after 3 weeks. My question is this: Do you just move the plants to the outside just one time or do rotate them after every crop through all three systems. I hope this question makes sense! Thanks alot!

I think I'm too for along for the root extraction (see pics). Great idea with making the peat pucks smaller. I've got 10 more seeds left from my Nirvana order. 5 white rhino - 5 Hindu Kush. The H.K. are the bigger 3 of the six in the pictures. I will definitely try the method you suggested. I have a question for the group, I'm noticing some small spots on the leaves. Anyone care to venture an educated guess. All of these plants went under the paper towel 3/20/09. Thanks again. Best thread on the web.

Hey guys I finally got around to finishing up my light mover made from a garage door opener and a skateboard. LOL I am trying to figure out how I can post a video and maintain my anonymity. It works great and I only have $100 in it since I had a garage door opener just sitting around. I am sure they can be found pretty cheap if one looked hard enough. Anyone have an idea about the video let me know and I will do it. I can also explain it all in more detail if anyone is interested.:bigjoint:

Thanks for all the great info Stinkbud. I'm in the process of outfitting a new growroom and will be running three of your flowering setups, a cloner, and the veg system. I'm midway through, got held up tonite after I realized I had forgotten to get enough 3/4" tee's. Should be finished soon though.

I was wondering if you have any suggestions on connecting the three together to share a rez, or perhaps daisy chain the three rez's somehow.... and utilize one 1200+ GPH Pump. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I figured I would ask since you may have already tried and it may save me from making any unnecessary mistakes. :)

Thanks, feel free to drop by my journal: https://www.rollitup.org/grow-journals/179978-birth-indoor-grow-op-journal.html

Net pots are 20 cents at my hydro store. You would end up saving about $20 over the next year.

I move the entire system over and put the new one in the middle.

How would you tie all the res. together? You don't want to mix the nutes. All three res. have different nute setups.
I'm just thinking out loud.;-) I have already thought about that because I was thinking of running a chiller and didn't want to buy 3 seperate chillers.:wall:. If anyone has any thought about it, please feel free to say something.kiss-ass

How far should my T-5's be from the tops of the plants. Right now, they are about 1-2" away.
i have the same lights mine stay a 18" from the top of the res. i never have to move it even when the plants touch the light i just cut the top off the plant becuase it will be to tall in the flower room
hope this helps
