Hi guys great grow here. I am wondering if you are picking up any extra heat issues on light 2+3 on the chain of suction? I mean the hot air dragged from light one has to pass over fitting 2 and 3 and wondered if you had any issues. I'm sure you are aware of wanting to pull air over the bulb and past the fitting, in your case the daisy chain eludes that. Just wondering?

Hey guys long time sorry. Been super busy expanding. Anyway total was 2lbs. Co2 wasn't fully used. Currently I have taken down one light and have 39 1.5 gallons and 1 mother 3 gal that are two weeks out and it's looking like I'll beat two lbs with 1000w less. I'll update pics later this week. Thanks for stooping bye

I'm curious--did you feel the LST or the super cropping work out better for you, in terms of yield?

Congrats on the harvest :)

Did the OZN-1 work out for you, and would you feel it would be safe for an apartment? I'm thinking about getting one for a two bedroom apartment--do you think that it would be safe to use there?

If it's safe, then I'll probably go with it--I'm trying to avoid as many problems before they become problems :)

In this particular case it didn't the kush plant which i did nothing to yielded the most around 75g. With the second grow I opted for single cola'd plants that were lolliped. I'll find out when I harvest in 14 days.

Dude it works amazingly. Youll only need it your last few weeks of harvest and trimming. But trimming will pretty much reak no matter what you have. I feel that one for a two bedroom apartment would be fine. Seeing as how the highest levels of ozone would be in the grow room, if you feel light headed and get dry mouth that means your o3 levels are too high.

The heat was an issue with three lights which is why I took the middle out and I'm putting it in a separate 4x4 to maximize my lights. With two lights via an 8in my temp never goes over 79 degrees and my light hoods are safe to the touch.

Excellent - I really like your setup :) How much did the tent,lights, O-zone generator, Co2 and the rest of your equipment cost in total? I know it'll be worth it after your 1st harvest its profit all the way! :) Do you have an in-line fan on your intake or does the lighting/out take Carbon Filter just pull air through passivly at a steady rate? I thought I'd mention it...You say your using an O-Zone Generator..As I'am sure your aware the smell they create whilst purifying the "grow smells" is simarlar to an electrical rain storm :) I feel I should mention though that although they work great and are used in old peoples homes and certain hospitals they are also renouned for causing CANCER (not cool)!!! If you are happy with the presummed non GANJE. smell an open window and oscillating fan in the room the tent is in will relieve the Cancerous build up and also stop residue from condensating on your windows :) If you have covered this my oppologies.

I see you have covered Co2 for better growth..Have you considered UV-B lighting for a THC boost at the end 2 week stage before lights off and Harvest? I have spoken with a couple of other RIU Members (Daniels & jsgamber) and we're all including this new recommendation in our grows. Have you considered Hydro/DWC or do you just prefer Soil? - STELTHY :leaf:

Roughly $5500 if you shop carefully that number could probably drop to $4500. 8in inline pulling air from inside tent thru filter then thru lights. Temp doesnt get over 79 degrees and the fan is on a variable around 75%. I did a lot of research on the ozn-1 and am aware of issues with it. i keep mine in the back with the tent where i have circulation coming from the garage to help dissipate the smell. Also that electric rain doesn't permeate throughout the house and I only use it the last few weeks of harvest. Yes the UV-B does intrigue me and I'll be researching it more. That's definitely something I'll be purchasing for the next grow, those last couple weeks are so vital and anything that could enhance my THC levels is worth trying.
I love the hydro process but felt I should get comfortable with coco soil for several harvest before I challenge myself more. Also, I'm a little old school in the fact that I prefer the taste of soil grown buds vs hydro. I'm setting up an additional 4x4 tent for my third 1000W light and hydro is something I'd like to experiment with in there. So back to the cervantes book I go to properly understand a good hydro setup, right now I'm leaning to a flood and drain system for starters.

just found your thread - nice set up clean grow :D well done dudes

just a point i wanna make : 0.5g of dried bud per watt used per month is a pretty standard guide to getting our moneys worth

so a 2 month grow with 3000w should yeild about 6 and a half pounds if my maths is right

again excuse the maths but u have achieved 0.15g per watt!!


now i realise your space is limited, so i guess my point is this: couldnt same results be achieved from 1x 1000w - imo 3000w is over kill for 20 plants

im not looking to slate u guys and the quality must be top but u using an extra $60 electric per month thats not really adding much?
and i seen u shot down all the lame posts and ideas pretty quick - so if i misunderstood anything - apologies

keep up the growing:D love to hear how the expansion is going

fst'ing i think thats the one where people kick the living shit out of their plants - inducing stress for them to grow stronger

Look back a page or two. Took out one 1000w and put it in a 5x5 with 12 skywalkers in 3gallons. The temp is much beter and the increased space is giving me better sq footage for my lights. My goal is to get a pound a light consistently.

I'm halfway thru harvesting 39 plants in 1&1/2 gallons with 2 1000watt lights today and I currently have around 400 grams so this method is much better for me and I got full proper usage out of my co2 system this time.

I expanded to help out one of my buds looking for a new hobby. We made our tent this time out of steel and tarps it's about 6x11 but what I like better is the height of it; it's almost as tall as the ceiling. The extra room Is amazing. There are two 1000watts in the tent and we have a separate veg tent with a t5 4x6. I set up three og strains 7 blackberry og, 7 fire og, and 7 platinum og. This time I vegged for 6weeks they just went to flower Jan 3 and I can't wait till they're done they look amazing and this time I left them all as single colas lollipopped up to the 18in mark

Well thanks for stopping by guys I'll post pics of the finished harvest later and let you guys know the full weight. I'm hoping to get over one and a half pounds mind everyone I only vegged for 12 days. I'm giving my crusted scissors and fingers a joint break to watch these O ducks work the sorry tigers!
