NICE!!! I do a 6x7x9 partitioned area with raised beds and run multiple landrace strains on 3 week flip perpetual.

 

[DankWilliamsSr]

Nice, that sounds awesome, are you under 315's as well or a different light source? I've got a little spot for moms and clones, but I may build a small veg room so I can always be flowering in there. How do you like the perpetual? I thought about perpetual but decided I want to be able to do deep cleaning in between runs. Multiple landrace strains sounds fun, what's your favorite out of the ones your running?

Update: week 4 of veg

CO2 for the win!!!

Where did you get the Dosido?

Yeah, this is the first time I've grown with co2 and wow, it's amazing how fast they grow. I got the dosido from my friend, can't say any more specifics, but super vigorous cuts, he says it smells like fruity pebbles when it's done.

Just thinned out the bottoms, here's a before and after comparison

 

[TintEastwood]

Nice setup. I run Co2 but much smaller grow. Only 4x8x8.

This is a great write-up.

Week 5, I should probably flip soon, but I really want to get the most out of this that I can. And still have to take clones off of these plants, because the two I saved for moms are not big enough yet for all the cuts I need. Going to probably switch to 9" square pots for next round. Should be able to fit 100 in there, whereas this grow I only have 64. Cuz this long veg is hard to wait for.

 

[DankWilliamsSr]

Took 84 cuts two nights ago, the room doesn't even look like I dented it. I got to take some more cuts if I want to be self sufficient for the next run, but I need another sheet of rockwool.

 

[DankWilliamsSr]

Threw up some trellis. Figured it was about time. Any ideas on how to get to that humidistat on the very top of that humidifier in the upper corner of the room? I want to set it to a little lower humidity when I flip to flower.

 

[FusterCluck]

If that's your building I would put an access panel from the exterior.
Nice grow by the way.

How agile are you? Haha. Gorgeous setup btw

It is my building, but I don't want to do all the work of having to put an access panel in and sealing it. Thank you for the idea though, I may do that in between runs.

Pretty agile, but not the badass Asian from "oceans 11" that's funny you posted that because my nefew last night suggested the same thing. I'm leaning towards a piece of heavy duty unistrut or something similar on the wall on the far side of the trays. Then a ladder in the aisle, then a board that would lock into place connecting the ladder with the strut. Probably complete that in between runs.

 

[DankWilliamsSr]

My nefews came over and I taught them how to take clones! Free labor rules!

 

[DankWilliamsSr]

Finally flipped em into flower! Super excited!

 

[DankWilliamsSr]

Some pics of day 1, it's bout to get wild up in here, gunna need a machete to get back to my co2 tank!

 

[DankWilliamsSr]

Pics from day 5 of flower, they are going to run into that dehumidifier shelf. I'm running out of an aisle.

 

[DankWilliamsSr]

Day 10 of flower, and I'm learning quickly from my mistakes. Next time flip way sooner. Its so far out of control. My plan is to clean the understory again tomorrow.
