Southern Engineering,HATCH Style

[hatch]

Awesome hatch, I've been mulling over your techniques and progress most of the afternoon. So I probly missed it somewhere buuuut what strain are you growing?? Looks awesome:hippy:

Thank's My Brother!!!~~~~I'm Glad You In-Joy'ed My Style~~~~Hope It Gave You Some Idea's!!!! If there is anything I can Help You with Just Ask????:thumbsup:

I've had many of My Strain's for 7 or so Year's. I have Chronic-BigBud, Chemo, Couch-Lock, Flo, Indica Bullrider,Romulan, & Willie..
All Strain's have been grow srickly From Clone's, That I have Gotten From Southern Cali.:stoned::stoned:

Ty for all the info Hatch. Been reading yours and others logs and making notes. Getting ready to move from Soonerland, already have my medcard lined-up, and start raising some ladies. Your info has been ensightful 4 fold. Was fully ready to use a DWC set-up but now you opened another choice to consider.

Have you used a DWC and if so could you fill me in on your opinion of the pros and cons of both? I travel all the time and having a system that allows me to be gone for a few days at a time is almost a priority. (I get tix to football, basketball games and concerts across the U.S.) Hell if u b new Big D could pass some of them your way, I get them free so it's all good.

Hope you can understand how hard it is not to rip on you for being a texan..heheh
Was another "one of you" on here that I use to banter with. Good ole' red river rivalry.

I will reread your post and make sure any Q's I have were not already answered. One that has me curious tho is about how much juice do you think you are using to keep it all running? I am a geek, Software Developer, and trying to plan my grow so each watt and dollar spent is maximized to the fullest. If I could it would be total solar and wind powered but the equipment would set me back more than just freaking moving to Holland.

Peace Bro.

Say Bro, Thank's for Hanging Out!!!!!!!

I guess the main different's is in the DWC the root's are in aerated water, & something like a aeroponic system has a seperate res. Way back when I started hydroponic's, I used DWC, alway's had root problem's. I have never had any kind of root problem's with the Aeroponic's.

If you travel alot. I would say Aeroponic's would be Your best bet. I would make sure you had a good handle on Your water PH, ect, ect, & Your mister's are working good, I can fill My res. & it will go for a week with-out having to change anything. I would make sure all these Duck were in a row before leaving for 3-day's. It might be a good thing to find a trusting caretaker, just to help out when you are gone??? I don't like the Idea, but it could help out if there was a problem.

Hey I Root for Sooner's When We aren't Playing Them!!!!Thank's for the offer on the Ticket's!!!!! But Bro, I don't get out much!!!!

About the Juice. Ya that the only down fall. I try to time everything to hit & miss each other. & make sure I dont have a heavy draw it any given time, just a steady draw 24/7. My bill's are from $350.00 to $600.00, From the Rate change's from season to season, That Suck's, But If that's the only Down-Fall, I can handle that standing on My Head, EH!!!!!HEHEHEHE

Well hopefully this might help You out alittle!!!& If You can't find what You need to know, Just Ask!!!!imp:

$350/month?? How much total wattage are you using for lights?

Ya, I shouldn't have used that $350.00 figure, that was during the winter. We don't have hard winter's so I don't use the heater. & that was like the lowest bill ever!!!

OK, I live by Myself, Main thing Running around here is the Grow Room's. All together I have around 7,000 watt's. I have it set-up where 12/12 room's are opposite from each other, one on-one off, I use 16/8 in my Veg-room. Also to off-set the over-lap from the veg-room's, The HID only run 12 Hour's a Day & the rest of there schedule is carried with CFL's. So at any time there is about 2500 to 3000 watt's or so running at one time. Let Me tell You, That Schedule took a long time to dail in!!!! But work's good.

So, Thank's for hanging Out!!!!! Hope I Answered Your Question?? If not I will try again.imp:

Hey Hatch,

Dude, southern engineering rocks!

As far as costs, my box with 600 Watt/digital ballast, and a bunch of ventilation to keep it cool drove my electric bill up $60 a month.

Curious - what kind of yield do you typically expect from your system? And how often?

I'm going to re-engineer mine into a multi-cabinet system to hopefully get to a harvest every 2 months.

:thumbsup: Farmer Rich

hatch, you are way more advanced than I will be for many years, but I aspire to have a system, on a smaller scale, similar to yours once I do a great amount of research and come to a fuller understanding of the issues. The main purpose of my reply is due to my lurking within your thread and ogling your many fine ladies - I felt obligated to say "thanks" for sharing all of your knowledge and eye candy. As a fellow Southerner, I try to abide by my manners.

I wish you continued success, and I look forward to seeing you around the board. Be good out there, my friend!

Say My Brother, First I would Like To welcome You To My Thread!!!!:jointsmile:...........Sound's Like you have A Good Head on You Shoulder's:thumbsup:........:wtf:I'm Glad You are Getting Your Egg's in Your Nest, & Get To Know Them Before You Hatch Them!!!!!:wtf:.........Good Luck on Your Future Grow's, & If I can Help You With Anything???? Just Ask!!!!:stoned:

There's some Southern hospitality right there. Or, as my wife would say - "rat dare." Nah, her accent isn't that bad, but she's a Southern Belle, ahrat! I truly appreciate the offer of help, my friend. Don't be surprised if I take you up on it 1 day. Right now, I have a very simple outdoor grow - my 1st. I'm learning a bit the basic development of the plant - she's a hardy weed alright, as she is surviving just about everything I throw at her.

Strangely enough, as you were discussing how your family likes to cut up too. I'm trying to convince a family member who has some incredible engineering experience to help me build a grow cabinet. We'll see where that goes - I just need to smoke him up a bit more to make the idea sound better.

Well, enough of my rant. God Bless!
