Ahhh, the man himself. Hey Delta, thanks for the thanks.
Even though I'm not in a legal state, my preparations for my grow business is ongoing. Eventually, the bone-heads that run this State will see the light. When they do, the PPK is what I will be using for my operation.
Outdoors is not an option in this part of the hemisphere. In the past years I've grown and experimented with all types of cultivation techniques trying to nail down the most efficient, cost effective means to maximize production. I'm confident the PPK system will do what I need it to do.
Thanks for all your hard work.

The plants I posted were vegged 6 weeks Fever. Here is a picture of that 6 weeks veg again.
And here are a couple 2 weeks later. 8 weeks total time in system. I don't believe I personally would have plants this size during the same duration in coco. These are the largest plants I've done in this room with the least effort/input.

Beautiful plants FlowerFarmer. One thing I've noticed after looking at all these plants in PPK: HEALTH. You rarely see plants this size looking as healthy as these do. Generally, there's always some yellowing of older leaves, etc... It speaks to the accuracy of the nutrient delivery, O2 levels in solution, temp and PH control. I just haven't run across any other method that maintains the accuracy of those vital components with as little work as PPK requires.
I literally mix my Jack's Hydro according to directions, make sure my solution temp is set, set my timers and walk away. No fooling with PH levels, checking run-off, tweaking PPM's, measuring add-back's, none of that shit. I would feel comfortable walking away for a week with no intervention whatsoever.

howdy, stranger! thank you for the pics and comments. good to hear from you! don't be such a stranger!
and they are not done yet! for new folks those plant containers are 22" across.
this is what happens when a skilled grower gets his hands on a ppk!
plant support?
i really like the shape of those plants. i don't care what DHF says!
heh! heh! heh!

.....Let`s see where they end up in 2 MORE weeks by end of stretch D9.....I just hate seein ALL that unused real estate directly above them big ass bushes WHERE the right hybrids would be up there in XMAS tree style AND providing God only knows how much more available plant material by end of cycle....but.....
Got nuthin but love for the PPK`ers that do it well like FlowerFarmer`s doin with little to no maintenance involved , except maybe stayin on top of cleanin out all the innards on them big bitches .....anyways....
Bushes or trees....Making EVERY cubic inch of room volume count for something`s the name of the game regardless of how it`s done strain dependent wise .....Respect guys...
Peace....DHF....
Some PPK pics for the masses. More to come soon.
Awesome!!

Nice looking crop Perma! This is how I picture my grow room when it's time to get started. For now, all I can do is grow a few Bonzais and tweak my PPK techniques.
Everybody in this thread inspires me to continue with the quest.
Enjoy some PPk bud porn as my way of saying I'm grateful...
Here's a Cinderella 99 in it's 7th week of flower:

This one is a Blackberry in 7th week of flower. Just another little bonsai but a nice producer:
Thanks for viewing!

You take really artistic pictures. I love them.
You would get nowhere near that much growth in 6 weeks with a strain like that if you were in coco. Nice looking plants.

Thanks for noticing GrowTeam!
Fortunately for me, I'm a photographer for a living so I have the right lenses and equipment for the job. I've been a photographer for over 40 years and frankly, I don't get too impressed with my own work anymore.
Thanks for the nice comment.

I appreciate the input. I've been tempted a couple times to give the hps a shot but I really like the results I've been able to achieve with the cfl's. Since I keep my plants so small I feel like even a small 250w hps would be overkill. I also like being able to mix color temps to fill out the spectrum a bit better.
One of these days I'll have enough time and space to really kick it up with more powerful lighting.

I grew at a facility with hps and mh but at home I used to always have a couple plants in the bedroom. I would surround them with 26 watt cfl blue and orange lights. I definetly know what the appeal is with those cfl lights. You know, those lights emit a small amount of UV radiation. I know some people might disagree but Im in the Ed Rosenthaul school of thought that UV-B is great!!!!
