Self built trays with fresh spreader mat
flowing down into guttering back to a tank.

Trays now covered with corex with pre cut holes.

The corex is now covered wih black and white to stop any light getting through to the roots.
we're now rady for the plants.

what lighting are we talking here dude ?????

thats a fairly big space youve got there

how many plants are you gonna do ???

peppi

This room has 18 600w HPS with no more than 4 to each light depending on size.
I'll let you do the maths.
More pics to come.

Holy Shit !

Thats about £600 a month in leccy

Holy Crappola Batman!!!

Proper room,makes mine seem very small ,the homemade trays look good,what size res you got for that lot.Good luck with your grow dont think your need it ,looks like you no what your doing.

will get a pic of the tank into you tomorrow
its a basic £50.00 b & q loft tank...in confined spaces you sometimes have to use a coffin tank from plumbers merchants but this was not the case here
we pumb the water round like a home central heating system with a £55 c/h pump
the water is automatically replaced by using a stop cock and tap like a toilet...with a facilitie to also drain to waste
the dehumidyfiers sit under the tables and also drain to waste ..... will show detailed pics ....tomorrow...
i will try and script the diary as simple as poss and pay as much attention to detail as my brain can cope with
with traditional and unconventional growing
if the odd bit of info helps or saves you some pennies...great...and good luck...if it lures you into experimentation and you bugger up.....i will blame someone else !!
love
arthur lee

STREWTH!

Very impressive Arthur, I shall look forward to seeing your results.

now then

nice room

any info on the strain (s) you will be growing

will you be growing from seed or clone

wot nutrients etc...etc

PGT

with regards to the strain
there is two that i work with...and...i am ashamed to admit that i am clueless to there names
i have always sourced seeds from the main seedbanks sensi/dutch passion/greenhouse e.t.c and from friends and anyone else here and around the world
normally having a go at crossing the more stable ones e.t.c...my carefull labelling process was open to human error..( me )...now left just calling them no1 & no2...not only am i lacking in brains but also imagination !!
this lot will be strain number 1 ..if you see similar characteristics/comparible features to anything you know or have grown ...please..let me know..
the stock will all be clones
veg nutes will be eco grow with occasional nitrogen fixing
bloom is eco bloom with some gibberelins spray
pk13 for a week and thats about it on the nut/chemical side
love
arthur lee

As promised here is a pic of the water tank aprox 180lt.
1 Blue Lab PH and EC meters.
2 Isolator to the ball valve.
3 Central heating pump fitted to 22mm copper pipe for the water circulation.
4 Isolation valve to drain the tank.
5 The returning water via guttering (sorry not very clear)
6 Standard ball valve to keep the tank topped up.
Love
Arthur Lee

Arthur you really make me feel amateur exellent setup gotta watch this one.

Looking good Arthur - keep the pics coming!

Day 3 on NFT (veg) 15Hr light cycle
Just about coping / adjusting to new surroundings.
Always looks dog rough in first few days in veg.
These are all unknow strain 1
We have another strain, different in appearence but comparible to regime / performance
Arthur Lee

Gazing, till I see, Coloured Balls Falling.
Nice work Arthur, nice

i hope you gonna percy what you harvest m8 and not sell any
very nice set up,,very big

Quality, loving the water tank, keeps the res small.

As promised her are some more pics.
The first one shows the girls at day14 in veg on 15hrs.
The next pic shows them on Day1 (12hrs) but still on veg feed. I'll keep feeding them veg until day 14ish.
You can just make out where I've tied the bigger girls down in the second shot. This is so they are all the same height also it helps to fill in gaps left by the smaller ones.
They seem quite happy grwing horizontal as well as vertical
I'll keep posting new pics on a weekly basis to show progress.
They normaly finish on day 44 which I reckon should be 23rdMarch
Love
Arthur Lee

friends / percy and medi
pollinating the next girls soon..the seeds tend to be pretty uniform
i either give them away or ask for donations to particular ms branches .
we show the kit /methods to help growers from being ripped off by unscrupulous hydro shops..uk420 excluded

Loving the res setup, thats pure genius!
cant wait to see the results of this....

P.s. if you ever need an aprentice

BowledOverBob

would prefer a woman to work under me !!
joking aside ...thanks for the positive feedback
not ashamed to admit that the last 20 years have been far from blunder free
but this system does achieve true lazy gardener status
tomorrows pics are blinding and the finish line is only four weeks away
thanks again
a.l

as promised the day 14 of flowering
added last weeks pic ( day 7 ) so you can guage the seven days growth
flushed it out and added some floweing nutes
using house and gardens hydro mix for the next 14 days
its then the more bud intensive eco-bloom after that
will give details of what day i change nutes , spray with gib , decrease light from 12 to 11 , add pk13 and finally flush
anticipate cropping in 28/30 days time
love
a.l

wow thats a lot of healthy plants!
looks ace mate,

nothing like compliments from a former apprentice / knight of the realm
will update them again seven days time
a.l

Nice set up geez

MeC









Edit: can't spell

thanks..i am counting down the days

forgot to add...where many plants had been tied and trained to grow into tha vacant space
this now achieved the ties are used to attach the overhead cutina wire to support the plants as they hopefully fill with buds
love
a.l

Days 14 and 21
as you can see they are coming along nicely.
drinking 300ml of nutes per day
ph 5.8 and rising to 6.4
EC from 1.7 to 2.2
next photo in 5 days time due to change of regime. will keep you all updated
A L

yes the change over each seven day period is phenominal ..

love
a.l

Good luck with the rest of the grow

Owd

They are pretty fast, looking very good for 28 days. I'm awaiting a smoke report.

Good going.

TM

thanks
the nft system does the job and its hard to fault
but..you do lose a slight edge of quality up against the organic growers
still..happy with it thus far
take care
