    I work around 45-60 hours a week, got a pregant lady and do a majority of the housework n cooking too, rofl.......let alone Im remodeling the house folks!


    9 is a bitch for me to deal with once flowering starts, 4 is waaay easier for me atleast

    Chris, do you use a chiller(s)? How big of a res do you use in a 4 plant setup? I really like this setup and will have the room to run 2k flower. Looking to go full on hydro instead of a soil less type. Got 2 sub pumps and about 50 liters of hydroton from about a year ago, when I get set back up, it's either this or e&f.

    CC they look nice. :thumbs-up:


    Did you ever have any problems with mold on the 9 pot grow?


    These are like a thick forest, do you anticipate any problems with the movable air not getting through?


    You seem like the guy that does it all or nothing. Am I right?


    Can't relax cause your always thinking. right? :beerchug-2:

    CCrete Mr. Poopyfacepeepeehead

    No chillers man, just good ol concrete floor, dark lines to resist the light and good lids.....my temps stay at 63-70f


    I have a 15 gal res for the 4 pot setup, the 9 pot had a 32gal


    Do it up man, its almost no work after the initial setup and cleanup

    The only bud that got mold on it, out of the 30 or so large tops was the BIGGEST f'n one under the 1k light.......i lost maybe an OZ from it, it was bout 8inch long and 8inch round..........but other than that i had ZERO mold issues..


    I also did keep a 12inch moving fan under the canopy blowing up and around all plants from the bottom.....and a 16 inch on the tops doing the same


    As I see them completing their stretch, i'll make some serious chops to the bottom issue branches and it will allow some more efficent air movement via open bottom


    I got anxiety issues man......i think im the smartest idiot ever, savant type in alot of cases...........but for this stuff....its common sense as well as paying attention and listening, then taking that salad and tossin it into your head, scramblin some other stuff in there etc.....I do all kinds of eccentric shit bro:passsit:

    I know its half mental for me, cuz im lookin at a lot less than the 9 system. It didnt really take that long to do the first 6 that came out but god damn is it mindbending to sit there like that forever hunched over, dont get me wrong the reward is way worth it but sheesh...


    And the 1 gal jugs weren't cuttin it either, learned that one after 3 trips for bloom, had to go to 5gals and a spigot. I know ill still use it like that but they ate A LOT


    Plus if i can do a few smaller rooms, i can run all my moms........cuz i swaer on my kak n balz that this Pineapple Express is the biggest yielding, most chronic skunky sweet thing around our area......i got it from this hick that had no idea what he had, hes stopped running it and went to wonder woman, he says he gets 4-5oz with a 4ft tree in a waterfarm with the ww
