oh hell yeah Granny i want that^^^ help me make that for sure!!!!!!!

.
in all seriousness though,
i won't be able to have the exact same layout as that because of where my buckets are positioned. i understand them being near the edges of the screen like in that photo is probably the best situation. i will have to settle for less than best as my two buckets will be closer to the middle of the screen.

good news is i can put the screen anywhere we want. the cabinet has 16" center studs and the left wall is all plywood and i can mount it any height we choose and at any time we choose.

what size openings do you suggest for the screen? and it is to be made of stiff wire with no flex, correct?



question for ya, because you probably know better than i.. if you fill a jug with water and measure the o2 level, and let that jug sit for two days and measure it again, is there a significant drop in o2? more than say 20%?

just curios because i've always wondered but never had the equipment to find out.

and i do agree with you on your explanation of dry back, the reason an airpot grows roots so well is because it gets o2 from the air pruning along with the moisture from the soil. the air pruning in turn forces the roots to grow laterally creating a much bigger surface area of active roots similar to the results you get with the coco.
the major difference i;ve seen so far is the speed of which it does that... and the ph of coarse, that really is only difference i notice is ph.. one makes my hands a little dirty, one a little cleaner.. hydro does in fact veg much faster BUT in the world of no-veg soil it doesn't matter as much, it's more about growing flowers.

Moe, right now i am using those 6" netcups because it was cheap and easy to get. what size do you suggest? you said you use 3.5? if i stuck with wat you use than the prints would be 1:1 scale and would already be tried and true... then i just have to pay the patent fee!!!!!

Actually I try to keep mine away from the edges you will see why as we go through the process. I mainly wanted to show you the tables. I have 4x4” openings and I used wire. You need something strong enough to hold the limbs down. Trellis netting will not work. While you often see trellis netting atop of my scrog, its only job is to hold big heavy buds up. When my buds hit 9-10” tall after tabling I add the trellis net above the table top.
