Takes sum time, pulling from the tent, water, and put back in the tent! 39 of these little mums! Can’t wait to fill the system! I believe any spare time I will have will b on this!
Almost on the vertical level!

also had to add the extra 20$ fan to the center bottom of the tent, since my white mildew attack. It helps with the ventilation in the compacted area.

Sorry y’all, been busting my ass off trying to get this thing going. I Ran the lights in the octagon for 12 hours. The mini split could not keep up with the temps! So I added 2 active air 6” in-line fans to the cool tubes. Air is pulling/pushing from outside the room. Brings me to the point of wall vents. Home dickpo had roof vents that look well, they where black, but the flashing to tuck under the siding was enormous, due 2 it being a roof vent. 32$ a piece for them. Went to Lowe’s and found a perfect way better built vent for cheaper. 27$ a piece. Vent was just a little smaller than the home dickpo one, but the flashing that tucked under the siding was significantly smaller and was a much easier install.

While I was in the back I took a pic of my outdoor mini split install.

Ok so I got tired of waiting, and threw a bunch of mums into flower. Took 26 of them, but they been in flower for week now, and turns out I accidentally cloned 3 of my male plants. Must have been one of those long nights. Subcool Super soil mix in the garbage can, threw about half the bottom of the 2 gallon pots! Roots organic on the other half. All r doing well!

Also had room to add a bunch of fresh clones as well. Imma flower those fuckers as well, just to get a idea on finishing height.

Better pic of inside big lights ventilation intake/exhaust. Intake from the bottom, exhaust out the top. Excuse the massive duck tape around the top wall vent. Didn’t have the funs to buy the 6” hole saw, due to having to buy retail on site fans. Had to buy right away, didn’t need high temps, y’all know what high temps bring!

I also understand I need either a bigger veg tent, if I’m going to have 84 flowering at the same time. The 2x4 tent is just not enough to hold the mums, and all the 84 clones being prepared to enter the octagon. So trying to get some more funds up for another veg tent.

1 month into flower. Results r fantastic! I Added another 29 last night to the octagon. I did this since my veg room is not capable of producing that many clones at once, so instead I’m going perpetual instead. So if I can finish 28-30 a month will b fine for me. Here go sum good pics of how I’m looking.

Stick the led shit in your you know what.
@Thedunnaman is killing it with the equipment he has. Why can't led people just enjoy a grow without trying to criticize someones lighting that clearly does the job with way less problems?
Plus, show us a Corn Cob that can drop in place of a vertical lamp orientation and actually work without breaking the bank

We don't see enough of this kind of set up.

Because he'd get a 10% bump in efficiency. Nothing to sneeze at.Stick the led shit in your you know what.

Did I say he wasn't getting good results?
What skin is it off your ass anyway? Still waiting for an answer to that!

Wo, wo my niggaz! It ain’t that serious. It doesn’t matter if u have led, hid, ceramic, or using the sun. If your a hard working grower as myself, I’d like to hear what u have to say!
I’m sure ttystick was just expressing what he would do. I encourage all of u to express what would u do in my situation. I am open to many ideas, hence roll it up is a form. In the end it all comes down to what I can afford, and what methods I am comfortable with.
Onehitdone, as of right now, I am with u on hid. I’m sure their r better options for lights as of now, but if some one would look at my ballast, they will see that they r over 13 years old, and still pushing like the first day I got it!
I didn’t have the funds to upgrade my lights. No I’m not a rich man. Between House note, my sons school note (10,000 a year), and every day bills I am really strapped for cash. I have to b carful on what I buy, because if it doesn’t work for me, I’m digging myself deeper!
I took everything I had from growing for the last 15 years, and did this setup. There was a few things I needed, and slowly worked up every week spending about 100$ to 200$ Till I got where I’m at. I still feel I need a little bit more ventilation to deal with the summer. This week I have to buy 115$ in glass Evak jars. Next week I’m looking to get a bigger fan, or more fans to help out on ventilation.
I will try out the new technology in the future, as I get more established. This is my first rip, in the area I’m in, using the octagon system I built. Right now I still feel I’m not all together, and yes improvements will come!
My guru told me the best advice 1 would ever hear when it comes to growing! Quote “Growing is only as hard as u make it”. Steady changes in equipment, will not have steady results! All it’s going to do is have your head in the wrong place. U have to get used of your method’s and equipment, to even see the first results u have, before u can make any improvements.
