Harvest a Pound Every Three Weeks!

I also had a question about the product you use called Hygrozyme.
You have mentioned that you use it to help ceap your roots clean or to temporarly fix a funk problem.

I have a good friend who owns a hydro shop over in cali and he told me that all Hygrozyme was is an Enzyme that a lot of ppl use with organic nutes to help break them down. For anyone who dosent know Enzymes would be like equal to the saliva in our mouth. It helps disolve and break things down before it hits your system.
Anyways please dont take this the wrong way like im tellin you that you dont know what your talkin about because I look up to you greatly man and I never even met you.
I was just wonderin if you know anything anout this?

Also if anyone wants Cheap Hydro stuff go to this site http://http://thegardendepotinc.com/index.html

Im tellin you hes a good freind and has great products

whulkamania,A pound every 3 weeks...Isnt that most growers reality on this site..Shit if your gonna grow than grow imo

I know some people here have tried the 15-minute on/off timers, has that been working? Does anyone recommend a certain model? (The cheaper the better)

dude every critical building in the world does this...

They have battery banks, ups's, and generators.

When power goes off the ups grabs power from the batteries until the generator ramps up ... Then the ups grabs power from the generator and charging comences on the batteries.. When power is restored... Then the ups grabs power from the batteries while it makes the switch back to comercial power... Then it charges the batteries again.

try finding used hospital bat backups, they all have to upgrade every so many years

Since you guys are on the subject of UPS's and battery backups I wanted to get your thoughts. This might be a stupid idea but I was just tryin to think up ways of having back up power for lights.
Since the light's are not able to run off a generator, do you think you could run battery charges off the generator and keep a constant charge on some batterys and run the lights off the batterys.

I kinda just thought how a car uses the alternator to charge the battery
The car is the genny, Alternator is battery charger
lol stupid I know

You could use 12v dc L.E.D. lights, 12 dc compact flourecents , 12v dc car batterys, and 12vdc solar panels. All obtainable from fleabay.
with these you wouldnt get huge crops but could have backup power for lights and pumps (12vdc bilge pumps for boats) for weeks or longer.
if it wasn't for the hid lights drawing so much power you could do it all of the grid. even 12v fans
with enough room for many batterys in parallel it would work.

Hi ya'll, When you have a disabled guy with time on his hands and a passion for pot, you get a lot of posts. Sorry. I hope you find this one interesting.

I have been looking for a simple, cheap and effective way to control that timer. I did a search for software and came up with this one. This will control your whole grow. You would have to purchase some hardware, of course, but all in all, it may be worth it. No timers burning out. I have not calculated costs, not even just on the software, but it looks interesting enough I thought I would throw it out there to you computer geeks and see if you think this will work.
Here is a link to the site; http://www.brothersoft.com/timer-(pulses-in-minutes)-52763.html

Im not computer savy by any means,,, but i wish i was.
Ive been reading about this software, i still dont fully understand how exactly it works. This would be great if i did beacuse my computer desk is right outside my grow room.

DIRTHAWKER said:

GENFRANCO Yea i figured that... but isnt there some indoor growing software out there somewhere? I can visualize everytrhing in the grow room plugged into some kind of box that is hooked to the computer, the software has different setting for each and every plug,, lights, exhaust, pumps, co2,etc.
you just set each one at the setting you want. Its not very complicated it seems simple enough.

Yes, there is, see my last post. It has a link for growing software that will control your whole grow. I will post it again so you do not have to look for it. http://www.brothersoft.com/timer-download-21018.html
It is the timer 5.0.0.2 that has part of the program. You have to do a little looking around to figure the page this stuff is on, but when you download the timer, it looks awesome. I have it downloaded on the 30 day free trial. I doubt I will get it going before the 30 days, lack of funds, but it sure looks interesting. It is also fun to play with.

You could stagger your pumps to come on each at a different time so you do not have them all start or run at the same time. I suggest downloading the timer that goes in minutes, not the seconds one. The seconds one would turn the pumps on but only for a few seconds at a time. The minute one can do both, actually, but you really only need the minutes.

It is also radio or IR controlled, depending on which you purchase, so you do not have to sit in the room with your laptop. You can do it from anywhere. It also has a system for alerting you if something has gone wrong. What more can you ask for software. It looks like they have thought of everything, although I am not a computer expert, it looks to me like it will work.

If you do not look at any other link, if you are interested in automation of your grow, this is the software to use.

Here is more of a main link. That software looks interesting. I bet for the right person it could be fun to try and get that to work, but a person would need time, some spare cash, an unused laptop and a pretty good knowledge of computers. I'm sticking with good ol' fashioned timers for now.

After downloading and reading this stuff i agree!

its kinda complicated.

you would use your LPT1 port and then you'd have to do a whole bunch of electrical wiring and soddering, i have some know how of this but wouldn't even dare to touch this, this is advanced

but of course a bit of reading will help you succeed, i don't have the time....

This seems like a good way to go if you have extra $$ and plenty of time.\
I might go this route after I have a nice op going. but untill then I will work with the old school stuff. Im sure someone has a pirate or bootleg of that program without haveing to shell out the $$ for it. If I had it allready I might plan from that.

what Im saying is I would wait till my op is going full strength before i upgraded to the advance pc controls

you can find a crack for almost any program, or a serial. BEWARE there are a lot of files you can download that will look like what you are looking for but in fact it is a virus/spyware/malware

...you have been warned

When I put up my 6 hole test system I had to put my veg system in the closet with my clones. I run both lights 24/7. There are only a couple of disadvantages to running your lights all the time, neither of which apply to us.

When you run 24/7 the plants will never mature. From seed it will take forever to see any preflowers because the plants have no time to reference for night vs. day.

I run clones so it makes no difference to me.

It also takes a little longer to flower. Again all that happens is the plants are a little bigger at harvest. You may have to wait another week to harvest though.

If you are running plants from seed you will need some 18/6 to produce preflowers. Plants won't flower until they are mature enough regardless of the light cycle.

How can you tell when your plant is reaching maturity? Look at the main stalk. Notice how the stems are coming out? If they are coming out symmetrical then the plant is still a baby.

When you see the stems start to grow asymmetrical then you know you can flower the plant.

I think I'm rambling now....

3 Systems, each running 3 weeks apart, for 9 weeks each. Harvest once every 3 weeks and replenish with clones.
