New setup looking for large yields

[bud luv]

Oh, and while that system is decent you can make something that would be better for a fraction of the price. $800 is way too much for a 12 bucket recirculating system. You could make your own that would be better and with 5 gallon buckets for under $300.

Opie - For sure man i appreciate it, i want to know exactly what im about to do before i start building my setup. I have read a couple books and they all boast SOG for best overall efficency, to me though it looks like its going to take a while to get it fully running in the cycles i have read with every 2-3 weeks a different batch is being moved from veg to flow... I'm going to be starting from seed so i'm thinking about growing some trees before i can get the whole SOG operational with clones, etc.. Thanks for the info

First off, you will never know EXACTLY what you are going to do before you do it, especially on a first grow of a new set up. There will always be a certain amount of making it up as you go along.

Second, you don't have to start of with a top of the line sog. You can have one place to veg and one to bud, and just move the vegged ones into the bud section once you harvest, which is roughly every two months. You don't have change or harvest every three weeks.

And C, bud luv is right about building your own for a lot less money, if that's the kind of thing you are into.

stinky's right about being able to break it down and bud luv is right about framing out. A great compromise is to use galvanized deck screws. Like I mentioned in the most used tool section, I love my drill. I use it all the time. As a grower it can be your best friend. I find my setup is in a constant state of upgrading and I can't imagine doing it without...but I digress...
Build yourself a closet. Having the headroom is great and you can have a shelf above the light for storing water while it dechloronates (dechlorofies?) if using soil.
You can make a fake room in a day and no one would ever know it was there. (As long as it isn't in your living room) People will think it's your water heater or some shit.
I have a spare bedroom that I use the closet in right now but I will be moving out into the main room I think. I will just basically set up a table in the middle and hank my light from where the ceiling fan is now. OK I'm rambling from the sleep meds.
Good luck on the build yiGity

yeah im pretty sure im going to just build my own setup, i have experience in woodworking from high school. i cant imagine building two big box frames with wood and screws being that difficult, im more concerned about everything else that goes with the box; venting, lighting, hydro system and the c02 setup. ive been reading alot from different growers and posts on this site, i have a pretty good idea of what im aiming at doing it just seems like a lot of shit to remember... about to start this real soon here....
