If anyone stumbles on this thread and wants answers to some of the questions posted here:

- The strain used in the High Times article was Lowryder II
- The setting was set to tomato
- Grower used the nutrient pellets included in the kit.

I have an odd feeling about this article though. It seems like a commercial more than a story of innovation. The photos of the 7 vegging plants look remarkably like clones. The article says they are from seed. It also claims that they used distilled water, which would need additives that weren't listed, right? Or is that not needed for hydro/aero/whateverthefudgeitis. Another strange factor was that it was left on a bookcase in a study. So, since it is not an enclosed unit, they would not be able use the study (at least with the lights on) for whenever they scheduled the dark period. Doesn't make much sense.

BUT... I had the article handy and wanted to answer some questions.
