1200 watt perpetual organic grow

Whats up RIU? I have two 3x3 tents, each with a 600 watt light(one air cooled & one wing reflctor) and 450cfm fan/filter combo. I harvest one tent a month and take a cut right before I flip. The cuts get rooted in a 3rd smaller tent and vegged for 8 weeks.

I use Roots organic soil and my own mixed soil in 20 gallon fabric pots. Im getting away from bottled fertilizers, but i still have a few just in case my soil mix is off for some reason.
list of bottled ferts.
Earth juice grow, bloom, catalyst
Go CaMg+, diamond black, biomarine
FF big bloom.
I also make AACT with worm castings and ancient forest, I'll add light ferts only if needed.

The 2 strains Im running are Cherry Bomb from Bomb seeds and Bubblegum from 00 seeds. Ive been running both of these strains for a while now. Here are a few shots of what I have going on currently.
Bubblegum from 00 seeds at 6 weeks into flower

Cherry Bomb at 1 week 3 days into flower

This is the new bubblegum with 4 weeks left to veg before replacing the 6 week old bubblegum in the flower tent.

I've also got a small Cherry Bomb that I just cut in the cloning area, waiting for its time to shine.

This doesn't have shit on my old 5k grow, but due to some unfortunate circumstances, I no longer have that much light and space to work with. I'll keep this thread updated as I go along this grow.

Edit: I'll also be upgrading the one wing reflector ASAP

That's some nice lettuce

Subbed bro! Gonna pull up a chair now!

Yea, I like to start off mainlined to get the plant to open up. Then I'll lst and super crop to get tops where I want them and fill in the gaps. I'm on a timeline and only have 3-4 weeks to fill the little 2x2 before it goes in the 3x3 flower tent. Mainlining also helps me achieve that square shape I'm looking for, so I don't have any empty space in the flower tent.

Very clever planning bro! I know a woman who's started topping on her first grow. She has 12 seed females in a 1metre tent. She has filled the whole canopy and is using MH to keep them short. She has 400w and a couple of small CFL's. Be great to see how these structured grows turn out.

as usual, we expect nothing less than fire from you brother!

i like the idea of the monthly harvest,

nice. i too like to control the canopy as much as possible. you ever look into monstercropping(cutting in flower)? easily able to manipulate branches because they are really pliable up to 4 weeks in flower. not as efficient, but helps keep the # low for me too. basically they look like a scrog without a net. seat pulled up

Looks good! I'm thinking of converting my room into a similar setup to get that monthly lb. or two. I will be using thouies though.

Yea I'm familiar with monstercroping, but I'm not a big fan of it. I'll do it to preserve genetics if I have to, but I'd rather take a cut off a vegging plant first.

I'm pretty much doing scrog with out the net myself. I like that I can turn and inspect the plant by not using a screen. Plus if you have multiple plants in a scrog net and one gets disease or mold you're kinda fucked.

thouies in a 4x4 would kick ass

I'm also debating using two gavita 6/750 DEs. I've heard they can match the production of a 1000 watt SE, so it would bring the bill down a bit

Cherry bomb at 2 weeks

the canopy I want.........


......mental note made

Wow! I'm having an orgasm right now from just looking at those healthy plants!

Can you give us a summary of your current temps and RH?

The wife is asleep in the room and if I open the tent it's like turning on the sun lol when she wakes up I'll snap some shots of under the canopy so you can see how I trained it to get it like that.

It does take time though, I veg for at least 8 weeks.

You know it dude!

Temps stay in the mid to high 70's and rh is usually around 30%-40%

I have a window ac right in between my 2 flower tents and it has a built in digital thermostat. I also run one tent during the day and the other during the night so I dont have to battle the heat from 2 600's at one time. And it keeps my electric stable so there aren't any big spikes(I know I might be over thinking that one, but still)
