Do you use the Ebb and Gro?

Yes sir. That looks like a Frankinstien. Blu hoses lead to algae growth. Smaller pots and you can put more on a rez. I get 6'ers in 2 gl pots
That controller is prob a R&M supply out of cali through Hydrofarm originally. Do Not Buy On Line..local hydro store works much better at returns. The company shipped some POS to new med states and wholesalers. New guy in charge seems to b clearin up problems. Look at Titian for a nice turn key setup.
Sorry - it's what I do

 

[Bobby Stainless]

Yeah, this one looks a bit nicer.

Might go this route instead. What kind of numbers do you see per plant, if you don't mind me asking?

yeap thats the titian. Got one guy runnin it with 12. can go up to 24( with a add on rez I think). Dude will Chop A Lb per Light 1st time.

Proper nutes? 4 to 6 plants under a 1000 watt raptor? Genetics of course. 4-5 oz is prob my average. have gotten 8.5 of one plant. Thats just marketable buds. maybe another oz butter buds.

My strain. Clone to finish 70-75 days 5 oz per plant..

Ck desertsquirrls warehouse grow. see that root ball? all fine feeder hairs. that is all you will find in an ebb system. no time wasted makin big tap roots
when I moved from a frank. drain to waste to an Ebb I took 10 days off the Veg cycle. Time Is Medicine

I hav multi rez's for each stage of growth. Veg.Pura Vida +?
1st half flower. H&G +?
2nd half flower. H&G with Shootin Powder(Gotta love a Pow Day)
3rd flush with drip Klean

Bobby from what I've seen of your work? If I wasn't 'all in' I would invest in one( or 12) for ya. And Make a killin off the extra you grow..You will smooth blow it up

Ask anything anytime Brudda

Diggin tha thread Pal... can't wait to see 'em in tha system. I still have plants in a system very similar to tha one above, I built.

Bobby an' I were talkin' bout systems... recently just retrofitted my stadium room to nft; 3 tiers each side, had 'em drilled 11 per, said fuggit and drilled out more today fer 22 per tier. 2" net cups, plug yer plant material in an' GO..... come harvest, cut tha plant and dig tha roots outta tha trough and throw tha net cup out; BOOM. Done an' onto tha next one.

Keep killin' it,
Steele

guys go buy the controller bucket you can buy the rasta one for like 150 dollars... then for a 12 site grab 24 5 gallon buckets, 12 bulkhead fittings 3/4 inch and some hose... use a big ass totter trash can for a rez cost you about 300 bucks for that if you want to make it bigger just use a bigger rez and add more sites... super simple system to make on your own... just the control bucket id buy.

Iv'e buillt too many I only build em now if the room is over 10k those mostly become more undercurrent..
I am really liken the stadium system. I've been lurkin on several threads. Just not Sure with our hard patient number of 72 plants. It's a bitch bein legal sometimes

Thanks for the vote of confidence

Yeap hav done all that. For 1 trip, and three hours work tops, I can hav a noob patient/caregiver ebb & flowin. Plug n play. Time is money.

That Titian Bobby posted? is pretty darn slick. 3/4 lines and fittings.Square Pots easily pull to be moved. Also that is the controll pot to buy.
Thanks

[Bobby Stainless]

Yeah.

I'd have shit leaking all over the place. Buckets not acting right. Hose come loose. Etc.

For my situation. I don't have the luxury of tinkering with equipment. It has to work perfectly, out of the gate.

Coco is getting to be a royal/expensive pain in the ass.

Hydroton is a pain. But I prob hav some 25 years old. I also started with real stone, so I still love hydroton.

My biggest build is custom. double 5gal buckets. top water, under currant type drain to rez.3 rooms 12+ ton ac. Dude is a mechanical wiz. Shit still leaks. A little.
BTW used net pot lids in a side by side (washin 5gal x 72 hydroton sucks asswater) and they produced less than a full 5 gal.
If you go with the Titian? Grab some 3/4 90's.They us a T with a rubber cap at the end pot. I kno I can knock that baby off at the worst possible time...
Time is Medicine. I simply could not grow/do all I do if I had to service my gurls 1 by 1.
I keep my mature plant count at 60. My normal morn? I have tweeked/serviced all of them before I finish my First cup of coffee..

[Bobby Stainless]

I am probably going to start with one or two Titans.

They are pretty inexpensive.

 

[paladin420]

Yeah I really think you get your monies worth. At $3.78 a gal for gas? Not runnin 17 times to the store because ya maybe forgot somethin? Priceless. Time is Meds
Been readin some old Blockhead threads....Wow steele's Shit can smooth take the nutes!!

 

[guest3854]

Bobby and Paladin have excellent points, Lord know's I've spent hella cash on fuel going back to Home Depot countless times, building my shit.

Well I believe I put up a pic of My Sonja. Am I seein what I think I'm Seein??

 

[Bobby Stainless]

Can't see the pic....


Pal, do you have any experience with the undercurrent setups?

More than I hav loadin pictures. None of what I hav set up use pumps to circulate the water just to pump it back UP.

Any specific questions? Or just overall? DesertSquirrel's Warehouse thread is one of the tightest I hav seen.

Can You see Me now??

 

[Stress_test]

I have been kinda wanting to switch over to hydro for awhile now, but I changed everything over and setup to produce disgusting numbers of clones to supply local dispensaries and patients.
So I would have to eliminate some momma plants to keep my plant count below the legal.

But I also really want to build an Aero system that I designed last winter.
After seeing aero in action and helping dial a couple in, I'm convinced.


There is a picture... Lookin good!

[paladin420]

The damn number game!!! To bad the people who wrote these laws never even saw a plant ( of any kind ) before tellin us how to do it.

Stress? You will kill in the water..Peroid.
I think I will hav a nice side by side with ebb vs areo.....?

That would be a nice comparison.

I haven't ever done a complete grow in hydro or aero, I've always grown in soil. But I do use aero cloners and it's the only method of cloning that will consistently throw roots in 3 days from cutting.
Even rock wool takes 7 - 10 days, so when I make the change over I think that I want to go aero.

But a side by side would definitely be educational for a lot of us who have remained grounded with soil.

I think that my biggest hold up is ignorance. I mean it's going to be a learning curve for awhile after switching grow methods and I already have soil growing fine tuned.

I suppose I'll just have to decide and take the plunge. I could have soil on standby to save the plants in case I screw it up in the aero.

I love my areo cloners so much, that I'm convertin one to grow out some of these beans..
And to me water is more forgiving. Fixes are certainly more effective/quicker IMO.
