. I hope your enjoying the read through my thread if you've ever it questions I'm glad to help of I can. I've had a few good adventures over the last 10 years on this site/13 years of growing. I look forwards to many more.
I do sell it online but not through RIU or to Members I don't know personally. Currently I have to keep my 2 worlds apart, but I was just talking to my wife last night about that and trying to change it. Several others have expressed interest like yourself, and I really enjoy adding glass to peoples lives!
yeah PM me if you change that policy man! I would love to see your selection! But I for sure understand the policy.
Congrats man! Did the solution stay nice and clear/amber/yellowish and not get super green?
Nice dude, if the washes looked pretty clean I'm sure your gonna have a nice outcome

here's hoping!! I actually have a bunch more trim I can use if this works out!Nice dude, if the washes looked pretty clean I'm sure your gonna have a nice outcome
So my questions are:
What are the dimensions of your tray? I use a 4x4 flood tray with a 40gallon reservoir under the table.
How many plants in total? The plant total just depends on how many clones are ready, and what strains. Usually about 40 plants, but that changes between 30-48 with variables
How many plants per stage? (I mean 'how many plants of 2 weeks old?' or 'how many plants ready to yield') I add the plants in batches of 10-12. So every 3ish weeks new clones go into flower. Which makes between 3-4 batches per tray for the 36-48 plant total
What light is above it? How many watts for example? I have a 1k hps is a xl air cool hood. It usually is about 14 inches above my canopy. The newest clones go in the center of the tray and the most mature plants move outwards towards the edges as I add new batches. This means that the tallest plants catch any light escaping the edges of the hood pretty well. Really I would love to add side lighting. All the way around to really help max things out even more.
For how long do you flower? Flower time totally depends on the strain. I try to run plants that will be mature around 9 weeks. But i usually have multiple strains in my tray at once too. That's another variable with how many plants are in at one time.
And most important question: How much do you harvest in every stage? Each cycle is typically 8-10 ounces from 10-12 plants. So usually between 20-25g per plant. Most of which is premium bud. I get very very little larf.
Some day I will probably switch to Led, but it won't be for less watts, just more coverage. If I do some side lighting it will probably be some samsung stripes or maybe QBs hung on all 4 sides of the tray to make a "light box" around my plants.I think your system works great.
Your yield is about 800 grams to 1000 grams per 4 x 4 with a 1000 Watt HPS.
At least, if I made the right calculations.
That's good!
This way you have a constant supply of good weed.
Perhaps you could look into switching to LED.
Less Watts and better speading. Also less heat (which can be nice, but can also mean you have to add heating)
I wish I could have been keeping it perfect the last 2 years like that. I wouldn't be in nearly as tough of a spot as I am right now lol. It wasn't the system that failed though it was me. So I still feel ok sharing what I've done.
For real let me know too Thundercat. Put me on the list please!
