Something to keep in mind. In a sealed room co2 is not an option. It's absolutely needed, and your results would be pretty crappy without it.
R U using a burner?----if so what kind of fuel?

Without it (co2) in a "no kidding" sealed room -----do the plants eventually die?

I have used burners. Propane and natural gas. Just depends on the situation.

No they don't die. But they don't have anything to "breathe". In a fresh air room your constantly bringing in air, refreshing the oxygen and co2. In a sealed room, you don't, so without the c02 the air gets "stale".

Also in my sealed rooms there is a c02 and O2 dump. A inline fan the pulls the excess co2 from the bottom of the room when the lights turn off, and a few more times during lights off. Excess co2 degrades trichromes and hurts the plant overall. The o2 dump is at the top of the room, it pulls built up O2 from the top of the room a few times during lights on. The oxygen dump pulls the super concentrated oxygen out of the room, since it has all been pushed up by the co2. (Co2 is denser than O2 therefore co2 drops, while pushing O2 up). Not a must, but it definitely helps with keeping environment in check.

I didnt read all the comments, but i have something very similar, use two 600s, or two 1000s or one 1000 on light mover.

I use to keep moms in tent inside my flower room too.

This is most effective way of growing ive found to date

That'll pound it out just fine :) Switch to DWC or ebb and flow and you'll notice a huge difference provided it is tuned and run properly. When I first started growing in soil I was happy but not, I went to hydro and shaved two weeks off of a beginning to end grow

Stinkbud system will yield a google result, so will DWC, both yielding wonderfully. Dwc is a much more forgiving.

Note about DWC.

When i first swapped to DWC i tried to veg for 4 weeks before flowering and it drank the entire bucket daily at week 7.

I then attempted an external reservoir with multiple vuckets. If you go this route, be precise and use the correct tools. (Not trying to imply you half ass, i was eager and bought cheap seals and the wore on me.) Sprung a leak and went to 1 plant per rubbermaid 3 in tent. Worked GREAT.

I personally prefer puttin 3 clones in an aero/nft setup (Misters not fine mist NOTHING FANCY) and throwin em straight into flower. Cloner is just roots suspended misted with water. No media. Hung in the air misted with water, draining to a reservoir.

Only way to possibly get 3-4 per light is to shove a 100+ clones, even 200 under a light in a 4x4 or 5x5 table imo.

If anybody else has another idea please share.

If you harvest a pound per 1000W light your first time you're doing great. Two pounds per light is possible but pretty hard to do. If you can do three pounds per light then you are a Jedi Master. Four pounds? I don't know... God?

Sea of Green is a good way to start. You don't need any veg time. Go right to flower as soon as you have a good set of roots. Spacing might be a little too tight. If you veg at 24/7 vs. 18/6 it will take a little longer for the flowers to really kick in. The plants will take longer to flower but it's kind of like adding a little veg time.

What medium are you using?

Good day ppl...

I've always got a lot of info from RIU before I've recently become a member. Hopefully I can get good advice on what I'm trying to do.

Ok, so two 4x8 ebb n flo flood and drain tables, connected to a 115 gal res. Each tray will not flood at the same time, one after the other. 1000w HPS on light mover for flower tray. 600w mh on light mover for veg tray. 3 critical kush mamas and 3 blue dream mamas in 6 site ebb n flo system. 2 ez cloners. 600w mh for mama plants, and flouresents for clones in cloner. All this in a 10x10 gorilla grow tent, and panda film and/or another material to completely separate lights from mama/clone/veg section from flower section.

I will put 4 rooted clones per square foot. So 128 per 4x8 tray. One tray will be for rooted clones to veg for about a week, and second tray for flowering. During 8 week flower, I will lollipop so all will be single colas. I will also add co2 and have the right cfm from my fans for tent and etc...

I expect to get anywhere from 3-4 lbs out of my harvest from that one 1000w HPS light. Even if I get less than half a zip from each plant, I will reach my goal of 3+ lbs....correct?

Or am I missing something? Are my expectations tangible? And if not, I'm all ears. I came hear to preview my setup for any flaws before I begin.

I only have experience with some bag weed seeds I grew outside, so I'm definitely a noob.:mrgreen: Lol. I used it as an experience to play around with topping, supercropping, LST just for the experience. But I've been studying all methods of grow, especially sog for a few months now. I know ACTUALLY DOING it and studying it is two different things. That's why I came here to the pros. And I also know there is not a such thing as a PERFECT grow. Unexpected things happen, sometimes beyond our control. That's life...:roll:

But anyway, let me know if my calculations on yeild is possible, or not. And whether you've known someone to pull it off.

Thanx in advance.:joint:
I ran 2 4x4s harvest 1 every 30 days 4 per sf and got .75 per plant. Lollie pop hard first 2-4weeks then get your net up because they will fall over. Keep ur res as close to 65 as u can and get 110lieter air pump and a big ass ring. Gives u maximum dossolved o2
