i have been thinking about doing a dwc system, and then i came across these krusty buckets/freedom bucket systems and i Immediately realized this is the way to go for what i want to do

i didn't want to start a new thread and clog things up so i figured i'd ask my questions here.

#1 what is the theory behind the stress free environment or what is the basic principle of a plant being stress free?

#2 what are the actual factors that KFB systems have/use that make them superior to all others yield wise

#3 from the pictures i am assuming the water level is usually constant and right at the drainage hose, and the nutients are delivered from above, fall down the length of the roots and then the bottom of the roots rest in the nute mix. uhhh... basically i wanna know if all that crap i just said was right, because other members on here posted that there would be 3.5 gallons in the bucket and i just don't see how.

i have more questions but the anwser to these might clear them up.

i want some fuckin 's

25 to 35 5 gallon buckets sounds like abit much

[Mr.slowpoke]

 

you would need a warehouse for that, and with that amount of light.... might as well try growing in the dark.

check it. http://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.p...9&page=1&pp=15

Im Trying To Figure Out The Plans For My Room .

What I Need Is A System That Will Support A Mylar Covered 12x12 Flower Room With Around 25-35 5 Gallon Buckets Cramed in There !
I Need This System To Be under 4- 5000 w Of Lights or So And Still Produce As Much As Possible Like A lb. A Plant Or So. Is That Possible ?? Please Correct Me If Im Wrong .

Also What About Light Movers Are they Really More Efficent ? I Need This To Be As Efficent As Possible With The Most Gram Per Watt Possible !

Im Will To Devote Long Days Hiding Under Monsters To Perfect My Skills.

I Just Need Some Help With Setup Of This System.

If There Is A More Efficent Way To Grow Than The Krusty & DWC Buckets .

Like Vertical Grows Or Circle Grow Stands As In Other Threads?

Thank You For All Your Help,

KFB is basically just a very intense.. recirculating DWC system.
no one is gonna be able to do a side by side like that man.. 5k+ KFB AND a comparable, standard recirc DWC.. the cost of setup for both systems alone would be astronomical.

you do realize KFB systems are MADE for producing monster plants right?

one member here... did his very first 4 plant KFB grow.. he got over 5 lbs... that's in excess of 1 lb per plant on his FIRST KFB grow..he used 5k watts and had over 5 grand in the grow room setup.

now.. yield is always dependent on the strain.. so get a heavy yielder ( the Tcer used a clone only strain that isnt available, but High yielding sativa dominant plants will work)

BTW.. you yield more.. but you pay in cost of system.

read some of krusty's literature before jumping on a KFB system.
KFB systems get the most yield per plant.. but require 1k watts per plant, 5 sq ft per plant space, cooled res.. intense air pump/ recirc pump.. both temp and humidity have to be specifically controlled..
it's not for personal grows.. it's a commercial system.

the setup costs are HUGE.. and there isnt any room for compromise according to Krusty.

My advice:

just try DWC.. once you feel you are maxing out the yield of the garden... then step it up.
jumping into a KFB grow without alot of experience is kinda nutty and very expensive.

oh yes, i DEFINITELY remember krustys FREEDOM BUCKET setup....nothing bigger, nothing better!!
nice to see you here krust!

Is any of this literature still available?

ya Im sure lots of guys use that system..just have to look around on the net.. there's a ton of pics and info here on TC... mioght even be some older Overgrow info in our growfaqs


there used to even be a KFBgrower's forum.. but the owners locked it down.. and it may be gone for all I know ( not even sure of the name.. maybe some of the OG's will recall )

holy shit this thread is insane. Fuck the size of those plants makes me daydream..
