sorry guys ive been crazy busy with work out of town alot and stuff....im going to take some pics tomorrow...actually later today and update...im glad it will be enough light...now how many plants do you think i can get under those lights with the room size if im going to do them in whole bunch of home made flood and flows...im hoping and this is hoping...that ill be able to get like 80...if i do them straight from clone and slam them....and the strain isnt a tall strain as its described...only 7-8 weeks of flower as well...let me know what you think i was thinking like 13 for each 2/3 table in small baskets or maybe just filled with with hydrotin without baskets and have 2 tables nder each light...so like 26 from clone under each 1000w...am i crazy or will i be ok?...let me know....thanks guys!!!

1000w will do that many with no problem. you can put 3 - 4 plants per sq ft if cropped right,

SO HERES A FEW PICTURES OF THE MUM AND CLONE ROOM I RE DID SO THERES NO LIGHT LEAKING, THE PLANTS ARE GETTING HUGE AND STARTING TO BUD REALLY NICE, IVE BEEN INCREASING THERE NUTES RECENTLY AND THEY SEEM TO BE ENJOYING IT, IM GOING TO BE CLONING SOME OF THE WHITE BERRY TODAYL, I ONLY WANT TO GET AROUND 28 CLONES AND I WANT TO GET THEM SMALL.....SO ILL ALSO HOPEFULLY BE DOING SOME WORK THIS WEEKEND AS WELL LIKE MAYBE PUTTING UP THE BLACK AND WHITE ALL OVER THE OTHER SIDE OF THE ROOM AND ALSO PUTTING IN SOME FRESH AIR AND EXAUST, THE PICS ARE OF THE MUM ROOM AND THE WHITE BERRY, THE NEXT PICS ARE OF THE ONES IN BUD ON THE DRIPPERS AND THE EBB AND FLOW, THE OTHER PICS JUST SHOW WHAT I HAVE FOR EXAUST AND STUFF.....IM SO EXCITED TO GET WHITE BERRY STARTED....IM GOING TO UPDATE ALL WEEKEND AS I CLONE AND INTRODUCE THINGS TO THE ROOM......IM WODERING IF I SHOULD JUST FORGET ABOUT THE BASKETS AND JUST FILL THE WHOLE AREA WITH HYDROTIN INSTEAD....WOULD BE A BIT CHEAPER I GUESS.....BUT IM NOT SURE IF THAT WOULD WORK....DOES ANYONE KNOW IF THIS IS A GOOD IDEA...IM JUST THINKING THAT IT WOULD BE EASIER AND I COULD FIT MORE PLANTS TOGETHER THIS WAY...LET ME KNOW IF THIS SOUNDS LIKE A GOOD IDEA....ENJOY...SORRY ABOUT THE SIDEWAYS ONES, I WAS HAVING TROUBLE FLIPPING THEM

This may already be mentioned but what cloning method do you use? How old are the Whiteberries now?

snip, dip in root homones or whatever it is, and than soak my medium cubes in ph balanced water and than put the cutting into the medium under a dome under my mh...there about a month old

HERES SOME PICS OF THE CLONES I MADE I GOT 23 SO FAR....SOME LOOK KINDA ROUGH BUT I THINK THEY WILL MAKE IT.....I AM GOING TO WAIT TO BLAST THEM WITH THE MH...AT LEAST TILL I SEE ROOTS......I PURCHASED WHAT I WILL USE FOR THE FLOOD AND FLOW TABLE.....2 UNDER THE BED STORAGE CONTAINERS....BOTH OF THESE WILL GO UNDER A 1000W HPS....IM HOPING TO GET......20 ON EACH TABLE.....BUT THEY WILL BE VERY SMALL.....HERES A FEW PICS OF THE 1000W I GOT RECENTLY AND THE SHADES.....100 BUCKS A SET...IM STILL IN SHOCK...HE HE HE.....WELL ILL KEEP YOU GUYS POSTED ...I STILL HAVE TO FIGUER OUT HOW TO WIRE RECEPTACLES STRAIGHT FROM THE POWER BOX.....HOME DEPOT HERE I COME!!!....LIKE THEY EVER KNOW WHAT THERE TALKING ABOUT...HE HE.....WELL FEEL FREE TO LEAVE ANY COMMENTS OR SUGGESTI0NS....IM HOPIN G I GET A FEW VIEWERS....CAUSE THIS IS GOING TO BE ONE FRIGGIN WICKED GROW!!!...THE LAST PIC IS OF A MERCURY VAPOR BULB THAT EMITS UVB RAYS...IM GOING TO EXPIRIMENT WITH THIS TO SEE THE EFFECTS ON THE PLANTS....IM GOING TO USE IT ON HALF AND HALF TO MONITER THE RESULTS IN COMPARISON TO EACHOTHER....ANYONE EVER EXPERIMENTED WITH THIS?....IVE READ QUITE A BIT ON IT RECENTLY AND AM VERY INTRIGUED!!!

No need for the MH for about 10 days or so. All they need is to be convinsed it is daylight.

......I PURCHASED WHAT I WILL USE FOR THE FLOOD AND FLOW TABLE.....2 UNDER THE BED STORAGE CONTAINERS....BOTH OF THESE WILL GO UNDER A 1000W HPS....IM HOPING TO GET......20 ON EACH TABLE.....BUT THEY WILL BE VERY SMALL.....

I used something similar. Without the wheels. I was afraid they would leak around the wheels. Check out my grow. I just put the table together. I was able tog et 17 per tub.

HERES A FEW PICS OF THE 1000W I GOT RECENTLY AND THE SHADES.....100 BUCKS A SET...IM STILL IN SHOCK

Never tried but my guess would be that it is a waste of time. Rotsaruck

im gonna give er a try....tried to use it last op but it didnt work out with the space issue....yeagh i thought about the wheels but they arent attached from inside...wont affect it if i take em off...im going to have to build a nice little table to put the res under......i also have to go get the tubing as well as the pumps im going to need....the only problem im seeing is....lots of plugs...for so many things.....should i be worried in canada riunning 3 1000w's with 6 pumps and fans and stuff? i wouldnt think so...but im wondering!!!

Should be OK. What is your current KWh usage? If you are only using 500-600KWh then you are looking at a large increase. If you are using 3500KWh per month it will be no biggie to you.

You will be adding -

3KWh x 12hr day x 30days = 1080KWh per month for the lights. Add in the pumps and fans you are in the 1100-1150 range. If your power is $.05 per KWh (lowball figure) you are looking at a $55-60 dollars a month. Grab your utility bill and see what you are paying per KWh and go from there.

yeagh thats basically what i worked out almost to a tee..he he he....thats cool....50 bucks to smoke for months ....very good deal

the clones are looking better today, quite a bit of leaves died but they all look like they adapted very well....and they stink a lot...like crazy.....the other ones in bloom are just growing so fast and crazy.....some are like over 4 feet tall....there growing way too fast...i hope they produce decent buds considering how spaced pout some of the nodes are.....the clones that i cut were very good tho...a few small nodes on each but very close together....i have to go to the hydro store to get the rest of my equipment for this weekend...i need 2 flood and drain fitting kits...around $10 each......$5 of 1/2" tubing....a big bag of hydrotin...not sure how much that costs but im guessing $40ish, 2 $30 pumps, a $20 air pump with dual outputs for both res's.....a 1000w hps bulb..probably solarmax or somthing medium priced...so $60ish.......i also need to buy some wood to make a frame to hold the tables and the res....so thats well over $200 just for that.....im in the hole...you had to have the fake wall....he he he...thats what my girlfriends says....oh well....maximum protection.....so ill add some pictures tomorrow or somthing of the clones and everything...the ones in bloom are flowering very quickly..i notice a huge difference from when i did it in soil last time......so many white hairs....happy tokin!

so i didnt get much done this weekend except some trimming and organizing...i also breed chameleons so i have a lot on my hands....heres some pics i took today of what i cut off and whats left....i notice quite a bit of red hairs and its only about 38 days into flower is this normal???......how are the buds looking???...i notice alot of thc so it looks quite good to me.....theres also a pic of the clones that arent doing so good...my second time ever so i might have to wait a bit longer for my moms to regenerate......hopefully i get a few at least.......the ones in bud are huge...im going to have to tie strings to hold them up if they keep growing....i thnk they have pretty much halted the last few days tho...i notice a lot of bud grpwth daily tho and formation...when would you guys guess these will be ready...or maybe how much longer i might have left in flower considering that they are about 38 days in???......its a sative....just looks like the buds are maturing faster than they should but not growing as fast as they should or as big as they should...but im not sure this is my secontd attemt ever...and last time was shit!!.........heres some pics let me know what you think...happy tokin!

Those are some legggy bitches! Probably still 2-3 weeks. Harvest when all the calyxes brown over.

nice...i dont know how i missed this grow...

Well subscribe ill make it real interesting...and spread the word!!

Subscribed! Perfect..Im in a closet right now but s soon asw I get enough tme Im building a false wall too. Thanks + rep

Man, you deserve a trophy or an award!!!
Don't you just hate that you can't write a book or put that in the newspaer to show everyone???
AWESOME, just AWESOME!!!

i think its great, but i think the cover to the secret room could be improved alot. put a bigger object there that doesnt let any light shine though. i think you'll be alot better off.

We just don't see growers doing Sativa in Hydro that often here. Sativa gives you tall, lanky, corn stalk plants. I think you'd enjoy INDICA better.

And I assume this grow is NOT just for personal use? LOL

i know...io have to get a bigger shelf...the sativas just for this run...im using white berry in the rest of the room....75% indica.....its personal for me and a few friends basically....and i wish i could tell someone he he he......ding to share the fun.......i cloned some more of the white beryy last night and ill be doing some work on the room tody so ill update tonighjt with some new pics of everything...keep an eye on this one!!!...i also made a breaker box to run 4000w off of so im installing that as well...so i can loose the extension cord...make it more hidden he he he
