Cool setup man . Keep the pic's coming.

well the 1st thing I realize, is that you took a simple system and complicated it. No need for drip with ebb and flow table. Waste of money.
Nice, but not necessary.

2nd, you can grow 9 plants max in that table, and that is pushing it. Your yield will suffer in the fact that the entire bottom of you plants will be nutrient sucking worthless; Due to No Light penetration.

In closing. You would be better off vegging in ebb and flow...and flowering in drip, or just stick with ebb and flow. Commercial growers veg in an ebb and flow system generally, then transfer to drip, or use drip all the way.


Goodluck. Take my advice. grow many less plants than you planned. Personally I would grow only 4 plants in that table

[greenman:D]

umm for starters i will not be growing huge plants, i will be growing sea of green , just for the cola`s, so no the bottom of my plants will not be sucking worthless, plus i will eventually be using this drip system for only 2 mothers and clones them moving them to ebb and flow for flowering.

[latewood]

OK good luck

Who is this latewood knob? There is no right or wrong way to grow weed, IT IS A WEED! That is a sweet drip system that can be used for whatever the hell he wants! Those wants could change week to week from plant to plant...

I guess your one of those 10ft tall message board cool guys, huh?

Very nice drip system greenman, I may just write down your parts list and whip me up a dripper system...Thanks for sharing your build!

Nah he's just a cool moderator trying to help people keep things simple, I alone can see many problems that a system like this has.
He never said he fuck face this isn't going to work and u just wasted your time... not to mention the lack of information provided to begin with, I'd say latewood not becuase hes a mod, but becuase hes an expeirenced grower is abselutly right in his response. Even in a sea of green set up a ebb and flow is easier and more stable, the drip system A) clogs b) may not work propperly for all plants.
Ive had a 6 drip system display problems, cant image what to do with 24 plants in the same situation.

Your going to need a atleast 300 gph to pressurize all that tubing. It really does depend alot on your medium of choice for flower if u dont use alot of rockwool u could use another drip, thats what i would do.

[dusto2k3]

well, i use Dig MAverick 12 zone heads, which flow at 2gph. They are real easy to clean cuz all the emitters are in one spot and easily accessible.

[latewood]

No. I am just one of the resident moderators put in place to teach here in the cultivation forums. I also have been invited and do, moderate at 2 others mmj forums. Not to mention owning a commercial hydro business.

hmmm, maybe I don't know shit. Anyway, now You opened a can of worms....please "Don't" eat them!

Is it kinda dumb to create complications where there are none.

Something to keep in mind; There is "NO" place
For: New members that mouth off to administration. So let this be a warning to you. You could've complimented Greenman without getting in my Ass, and should have!

I merely gave sound advice up above. If I cannot teach Greenman that is cool; Really! Saves me some time...

In closing If you really knew how "tall" I was, here @Cdot...
You would know that I have stated for years that pot is a weed.
I teach simplicity from way back. I preach that there are many ways and individual choice when growing.
You need to research who you are chastising beforehand & chill, if you want to enjoy this community.
Your choice
Peace :smokin:

[dusto2k3]

what he said

[misk]

listen to latewood ;)
he is quite a god whos helped me and many on this forum
take in his advice and learn from it, dont dismiss it as another person with another opinion.....

good luck with your grow whatever you choose to do, its always a fantastic learning experiance

It's all about learning and tuning in your set up. I used a 6 plant drip gheto system. Ten gallon tubs. I can make them for 20 bucks and under a 1000 watt hortilux, a 4x6x8 room AC, Dehunidifier. Good nutes with a few additives. I could get 3/4 to a pound a month sea of green. 2 units, so 12 plants. More than I could smoke. Check out LOC NAR1958 my grows are still here. Latewood and big Z helped me tune it in till my nephew ratted on me. I could not have done it without them. IVXX uncool man. Bad move, I guess your out of smoke. LOL. Let greenman:D Try and show us pic's. We all learn and help him tune in or change up. I want to see how he does.

Latewood, I have to assume you do not speak to your customers in the same manner as you did greenman's setup...Yes, it may not be the perfect system but this is not the point I was making and you know it.

The "approach" one uses in communicating goes along ways in the transfer of information...If you are truly trying to teach your approach would have been much more passive in nature...It is clear you are willing to "flex" the knowledge you have as a weed farmer first and foremost or you would not have to tell me about it. There are plenty of forums out there giving very good and very bad info and being a moderator is no stamp of knowledge.

Passive approach to sharing knowledge on weed farming, aggressive approach in the fight for our rights to be weed farmers...There is a difference.

[LOC NAR on probation]

IVXX, you toned it down and we understand your point but I saw nothing wrong in the first place. I would not call you a knob for just 25 post. I'm not busting on you man. Just show us your grow and we might understand more about you.

greenman keep the pic's coming. Don't get discouraged man. This is your thread.

What??? dude this the cultivation section not the conspiracy shit. Latewood said nothing wrong, he gave his thoughts, u dont have to except it, or u could, i wouldnt be talking to latewood about misinformation seeing how he deals with it everytime he comes on this site. Also i wouldnt be putting down respected MODS, or repected members u have 25 posts learn something about these ppl before you post shit like that, ive know latewood for months on here, hes a good guy, always tryin to help. You might want to re-read what he posted, becuase i say it was legit, he never said scrap your idea.

Any way yeah, this is going to be a good grow i think, keep it up and keep posting i love logs, they help out alot for both the grower and futergrowers

...HUH? Keep smokin dude!

[IVXX]

All I have to say is Where is greenman? I think he was not to happy with the guru mod weed farmer's slamming of his dripper system! Case over!

...A person post a system they just built, they were obviously proud of it, they were not asking for a weed farmer mod hydroshop owning guru's opinion, HOWEVER, latewood chose to post...

"well the 1st thing I realize, is that you took a simple system and complicated it. No need for drip with ebb and flow table. Waste of money.

This was rude and un called for, PERIOD! Even if you are the master weed farmin hydro shop ownin 4000 post mod of 3 weed forums who has a cult like following!

Now, I will leave, good bye!

[JackdaWack]

Uhhh... ?? dude maybe u should read what the guy first posted... it clearly states any suggestions etc. It didnt find that rude, because his points were clear and not personalized.
A) the whole drip system is pointless when u can just flood the table, not that it really matters, but building the drip is more $ and is more problematic and is more work.
B) i wouldnt grow anymore then 4 full sized plants in there, Remember no one said shit about a sea of green until after the fact
C)Latewood clearly stated his feedback.

Who the fuck? a cult? are u serious. Ur the one who came in here insutling people not latewood, i would stand up for anyone in here just helping out.

This is a nice system as latewood stated, but unnecessary, i my self would probably build something like this becuase i like to make things extravagant like what i grow. Were sorry if were foward with our responses but this guy actually did put together a nice system, something latewood stated and you cleary chose to ignore.

Now if we cant stop bitching can we atleast get on with this guys set up, what do u plant on growing in there greenman?

[greenman:D]

Well i didnt like ur attitude as in the way you said it.
"well the 1st thing
2nd, you
In closing"
No need for sarcasim you actually sounded like a cop on a power trip,maybe you are lol.You said it in the way as i dont care about this guys post all i care about is being a hero and big noting urself , even more so in the next post i quote:
"I also have been invited and do, moderate at 2 others mmj forums. Not to mention owning a commercial hydro business"
you have to justify urself that ur good enough, who are you trying to prove it to , us or yourself.
Anyways i dont care,moving on.
Well i have made drippers before and never had a problem, and the nossles i used no dramas with blockages not gunna happen with rockwool cubes and hydroton and adjustable drippers,im using a modified dishwasher filter on return very very fine filter and at the top i made a over flow with not so fine filter so if it blocks up which it hasnt it will just act like a abb and flow and not flood my room. Havent had one yet and i put them into bloom yesterday so went and bourght my Canna flowering nutriens,ill throw up a few pics.

[greenman:D]

The way i look at drip systems , its more controlled, more oxygen, better growth rates,but there is a problem with blockages if you do not filter ur system well enough, if you do ur home work and set up a decent filter its impossible to get blockages, here is how i did it.
As you can see on the top if fairly course wire mesh as a over flow if any blockages do happen, i wont flood the grow room, but on the sides it is extremly fine filter. only thing you have to do is if using hydroton is to flush it 1st and remove all the dust and little bits.

[IVXX]

Way to go greenman...It seems the pics have shut up the gods of weed farming. I love to tinker and build stuff that is in my head, the gods of farming would not like it but I do, it's mine!

Where do you live? Somewhere in Europe?

Anyway, I have found another forum where promoting ones EGO is not the primary goal and things are much more laid back...Grow on dude!
