remember me?? 
well, i do.
anyway, i have been out of the game for a little while, but i have still been reading and learning.. currently i have a nice big legal (veggie) organic garden outside as it IS the season... i can thank everyone here for my knowledge, so thanks!! you all gave me the bug, made me want to learn WAY more... now people are calling me a horticulturnerd... and i love it..
anyway, i have never lost my roots, and although i do not have the space right this second, i will soon.
i bought some things.
a HUGE air pump - i ran 35 (12 inch) stones at the store before i bought it :holysheep:
20 ft x 4" of white pvc pipe to be cut into 1 foot legths
20 x 4" pvc caps
20 x 4" hydro baskets.
1 x 1000W HPS (cooltubed)
basically this is the idea:
instead of using 15G buckets, i am using pvc pipe that is 4" in diameter and 1 foot tall. each has a cap on the bottom with a tiny little hole for the airhose, which is connected to a 5" vertical airstone.
this will minimize the space as well as increase the air supply to the roots
-------????!!!!---- "but now you must be in your garden every day?" (you say?) === well, i am in my garden everyday anyway... if your not, START!
i am currently building a little unit out of 1" pipe that holds 16 of these 4" pipes vertically and allows all tubing to be hidden within. what is great is that the 16 plants will be in a 4ft x 4ft area. should be a great SOG and a very clean setup... i also plan on adding wheels (even though i may not need them)
cloning is done in a home made auto cloner under some sort of flouro... havent decided yet, probably just a 4 ft dual pair... i am sure 200W will be enough... i dunno, any ideas?
i am also wondering if you have any suggestions on fully organic nutes?? i am a little out of practice as i am dealing with veggies right now...hehe
i will start a journal when the time comes, but i thought i would check in
