Nice journal!
And nice room/setup.
Good decision to go with the flood and drain too, it's slightly more forgiving than NFT, yields will still be impressive tho![]()
well i got some pics like i promised although i didnt get to go work in my room because mother nature just had to let it snow about 3 inches and ice the roads over and theres no way my wife or my car is gonna go in the shit and my truck is getting winterized and new biiiiig mudd/ice tires get it back in the morn but hereas a few pics cause i said i would![]()
Pics, You start setting up yet?
Man I like your Idea. But if it was My room, I would run dual cool tubes.
http://www.4hydroponics.com/lighting/rhyd60.asp
6ft cool tube with 1000w on both sides. Run 2 of these on 6ft light rails.
Separate 2 rooms, 8ft by 8ft. In each room have the dual cool tube on a 6 ft light rail, run them at separate times so the power doesnt spike and is constant.
I would just poly out the rooms with panda film and do soil. Way easier to manage, and setting up a soil grow is way fucking cheaper and easier then trying to set up your first place on hydro. And IMO you cant replicate the dank stickiness of soil grows, hydro grows fast, smooth smoke when done right, but soil has that sticky dankness that you just cant get any other way.
Each room could be pushing out 4-6 pounds. Start one half way through the other and you could crop 3-6 pounds every 5 weeks with 4k of flowering power.
Then run a couple 250w or 400w for a veg/mothers and your set.

lol...you call that snow???
UP HERE WE CALL THAT A FROST
woke up to 6 inches of snow and -8temps......F that...lol
Looking good so far. Keeping an eye on this one. Good luck mate
thanks hopefully we be pumpin it out at 8 weeks or so
However long you think it will be, triple that, lol.
I thought I would be cropping this strain back in September....then it was spose to be December. Now its gonna be February.
Nothing ever gets done on time when setting up new grow rooms.
Theres always something else that needs to be bought or done.

have you ever considered anything like this for your sog? http://www.discount-hydro.com/productdisp.php?pid=45&navid=4
you can build that for much cheaper if you are handy... you can also alternate which way each tube goes from the res... so the res is in the middle, and instead of putting the pvc pipes so close together, they would have a little more space for the plants.
check out a thread by "stinkbud" "harvest a lb every three weeks"
shows how to make this way cheaper. and better![]()
no worries bro. +rep and many props for attempting all those strains at once. i'm really curious to see how you go about maintaining this setup. it just MIGHT be crazy enough to work... definitely keeping a close watch on this thread.
good luck!![]()
