How often to change your airstone?

I dunno man . I got 1/2 way through the second thread. Deffinatly an awesome room , but in his first thread he flip flopped 8 -1000w , so basically 16,000w grow. He got 24# dry. A gram per watt should have produced 35#.


My 'buddy's' ENF tables were getting 4# per 600w . 3 tables at 12# per 6000w. Plus he has a shit ton of equipment , chillers , AC , MINISPLIT AC , flip flop boxes . Keeping the plant count down for sure but not the most efficient.

 

I see what your saying now, I mis-understood that part I guess but he also said his rooms are only .5 gram per watt


Even still tho...pulling down 15pounds on 6 plants is how to go, in another thread he commented on he said he was into each run about $1300-1500 a month for a return of 3k a pound, ill take the half a million a year anyday:roffl:


especially in a 17x13 room with 8ft ceilings


One huge factor in any LARGE tree grow is the Strain, everything depends on the strains, 90% of strains don't work in that type of system


If I put a Dabney in to do a tree run, the leaves alone would snuff out most of the light to the core of the tree......but the Bubba is made to run in a tree grow


But wait, your saying that someone is pulling 4 POUNDS per 600w light in a table??????? Love yah, but im sayin bullshit on that..

 

I mis typed . 3-600w per table. So 1800 per table , 5400w for all 3 in flower.plus a 600w.to veg perpetual.


I think the density of those huge plants has got to make the middle almost worthless. The system is tits , maybe if you trellis and spread the plant open instead of tomatoe cage? He said he pulls 4.5 grows a year wich is 324k a year. At 1 gram a watt would be 550,000k. That's at his 3k per lb price. Strain dependent no doubt.


The man obviously does have skills. He built.that all himself!!

 

truth be told tho....its childs play to build it, a bunch of tubs,3inch hard pipe, uniseals, feed lines and a big ass pump......those growers run the inline pumps where the pump doesn't sit in the water ,so theres no heat buildup like in a smaller RDWC. I could build that thing in 2hours......its the enviorment that Im guna have problems with. Ive NEVER been above ground in any indoor grow....the temps are guna fluctuate so heavily with the outside air, its guna be hard to get it just right im sure of. We'll see tho....in time
