This is the buss for the electrical

it's going to plug into a 240v outlet, dedicated to a 40amp circuit, run through a 240 HD timer for 2 -240v ,1k HPS split by the sun-splitter
run 2 600's off 1k ballast
and branch the hot ends in to 2 opposite phased 120v outlets for fans and de-huy if it's load fits with the a/c

Gotta run a schematic by the folks over at grow room wiring thread

Do you dilute the tea with water to get your 3-4 gallons? Also what are the insulation pieces covering the soil in your pots for?
I am also thinking about vert for one of my flowering spaces.How did you decide on the 600 opposed to a 1000?
thanks for the detail and pics.I also love the simplicity of your air rooting process.I have read about it but you are the first I've seen post it in a grow..Peace BL

Great set-up BB. Looks like you have a helluva lot going on.
I like alot of the methods you use.


I've considered making individual screens for each plant to veg onto, then just slide them into its flower spot. These being used for rotational, green sea cropping. .....

I use individual scrog screens to flower (i don't veg in them tho). Makes it easier to run different strains next to each other and stlll have them scrog'd. It's easier to get the trimming done when you can remove the plant from the grow area, imo.

I don't tie the plant to the cages, it makes harvest difficult. Instead I tie the twist to the cages and make hooks with the loose ends. The ties are left on the cage for subsequent grows.The entire plant will be grown outside the cage, with only the budsites hanging inward.

Great idea. I do this myself. I let the plant grow thru the screen and use twist ties to train them around the screen. I like to use the fuzzy pipe cleaner twist ties. They are soft to the touch and come in bright colors that you can see easily.


Good luck with the grow

I dilute with 24 hr de-chlorinated tap water
insulation is just for reflection and to help prevent rapid evaporation
I love 600's. they arent too brutal to work with plus I found the sun pulse splitter.(see signature)
Heath robinson does a flooded tube with 600 watts that really sets the par for whats possible.
I used to post on planet ganja and Prawn was the man over there for 1200 vert. emulated his style several years ago and havent ever tried w/ a 1k.
But I am thinking about veging with a 1k to get some growth a kickin

Air rooting- awesome if your concerned about numbers but from a cloners perspective it doesnt work as well re: cut clone, mom grows. This is clone, cut, wait to grow
hopefully it pops some roots soon!!
Thaks for stoppin by!!:wave:

I'm still kickin the idea of individual screens. Going to mount the screen pieces shown above on bamboo mounted down through the substrate at planting time.
Nice setup! Im going to be running some mixed strain runs coming up, we'll see...

I am loving this thread :D

If you have some time and can built them some kind of stadium/collesium or some type, that would really pay off in the long run ;)

but your set now is awesome as well , soon you'll see those fat o nugs :D

i'll watch ya from back here

pretty pretty pretty kickass that's an informative thread
I use stadiums or rows in my vert, like it cuz then more main stems and can grow quicker ie less height for each girl.

Puff on bro

Was considering stacking another row of pots on the pot's spacing below for the same effect. im goin to tweak it for a while and try all different things with this setup style. not really fond of the extended veg going on, but my plants didnt go in healthy. Might veg horizontally with distance to give stretch and then drop them in around a screen. Also have the idea to clone really long cuttings.
(On that note: The air rooting is taking way too long. I'm bailing on it. It is just begining to change skin, it'll bump and root soon , but not soon enough for me. Them branches have grown about 6 inches since i started. OVER IT, but still a way bitchen way to root without xtra numbers. but I would start high next time considering it takes about as long as water culture rooting)
Plus Im going to run a RDWC which should give a rapid growth option.

Many many options. Thanks for the positivity!

Its time to set them back

I have a lot of room work to do though and I really really need a dehuy.

First set of clones went to poo, the parameters were different and the cubes got too hot and slimed the capilary layer that was in the cube. They look rough. Second set had the mat turned down to 72, they popped fast and are still dank green, fuzzy roots galore.
Bummed about the first set.

My nute schedule is aprox 2.5 ml of each in 4 liters:
Gen Organ Vegan grow (every watering)
And then move left down the line of my bottles in my picture each day, one at a time.

Added to dechlorinated, intentionally blessed(check out Dr. Imoto), water with the EWC tea

One day a week or so, Just tea water

And.....

I azatrol every three or four days, slip in a spinosad every now and again.
I 1/4 strength brix mix every other week in place of above

im seeing too many FG's so Im lookin to get predator nematodes asap or go with broke down BT dunks diluted and watered. not infested, but could get there. Sticky yellows are doin there job. The adults are nearly gone so its gettin em
Think I could make em cheaper with poster board and a recipe for flypaper goo i have around somewhere in my brain.....
Been sprayin the soil once in a while with the azatrol, might be helping too, I know it knocks the FG's on their arse.
