dude, if this your first grow think rather small, if you are good and done all the reading to know the basics you will yield a few ounces on your 20sq ft. also, a 1000W HPS is hot, so you will need a full setup with colling here with that room size or the 85F is crossed constantly which cuts yield again.

start small and easy and grow a few crops before pushing harder. less pain if things run not so smooth, which they will at some point, so add this in your planning as well.

and to simple aeroponic DIY:

but this has to work 24/7! Keep this in mind, once it breaks things die rapidly, so a double system as back up is recommended. and you have to nurse them almost to keep everything under control.

No not my first grow but it will be my fist hydro.

thanks but i belive i will modify the manifold a lil cause the roots r being sprayed on 1 side only,i think we could utilize the 360 sprayers better w a better placement config.

You really wouldn't need to modify the manifold, the object is to spray the netpots, not necessarily the root mass. When the netpots are getting spray'd the water is dripping all down the root mass. Thus getting covered. That simple DIY setup is just sweet. The trick will be judging the angle the sprayers spray at and making the manifold at the right height to get the netpots wet. This is what works for me

That is a lot of smoke to try and grow in such a small area! You can get 6-8 ozs per plant in hydro if conditions are right and you have the right strain. But 3-6 is more the average. The plants get really big to yield 6-8 ozs. You wont be able to fit more then 4 or 5 monsters max in your space, and thats gonna be pretty cramped! If you havent done hydro before its probably gonna take a couple grows to get to the 3-6 oz level. It looks easy but theres lots to go wrong the first time. I had to roast a couple plants and then I had to stress a few more before I figured it out, even with the quality help of GP, RIU and HG 420! Good luck with your grow. Peace Out!

I'm Read When You Are Ready??

I'll Tell Ya Right Now, That's Great To Set The Bar High, But You Are Going To Need 5 To 6 X The Space To Hit 6lbs, But The Sky Is The Limit!!!EH!!!

Yes Al Has Some Good Info, But He Doesn't Like To Think Out Of His Box!!

Well I Don't Claim Too Being The Man??,,But I Have Stayed At A Holiday Express Before & I Do Have Alot Of Experience In Aeroponics I Will Claim That!!!EH!!!

Yes My System's Have Been Running NonStop For Many Many Years, If You Keep Up Good Maintenance Practice Your System Should Run??? For A Long Ass Time!!

On My Yield's, I Run Clone's Only With Little Or No Veg., I Feel If I Get 14g. Cured Bud From Each Plant (35 to 60 plant's each harvest) It Was A Good Grow & Harvest!! I Have Had Plant's Go Over 4oz. Cured Bud Before, But On Average I Count On 14g. Each Plant. And If You Do Alittle Figuring You Will Find That Is Kicking Out Some Serious Bud!!!EH!!!

That Sound Great, Copy What You Like & If You Have Any Question Or Can't Figure Out Something??,Please Don't Hesitate To Ask.

Best Of Luck & Wishes Of Good Karma To Ya!!!!

Cheers`;`Hatch`;`

Hatch · #14 02-10-2009, 11:31 PM

Ya, I Like To Have For Every 10 Mister's 250gph To 300gph If You Are Using A Mag. Fountain Pump's, When You Use A Submersible Or Inline Jet Pump's A 1400gph Will Run Up To 35 To 40 Mister's.

Well, Sound's Like You Are Getting Things Together.

jgreenbeast · #15 02-10-2009, 11:54 PM
