4000 wt Big Bud soil grow. Constructive criticism only please

We are currently growing a the Big Bud strain from marijuana-seeds.nl. Highly recommend them. I won't buy seeds from anywhere else.

Bloom room:

4- 1000 watt hps with angel wing reflectors
1- 12" inline exhaust fan with carbon filter, split into two 6" duct. One venting threw sewer line, other threw hvac into upstairs bathroom.
1- 8 " " " venting out the dryer vent under the deck in backyard. thermostat set at 79 degrees.
1- 8" " " pulling air from cold cellar into bloom room.
2- 77L plastic garbage cans with bubble disk and sub pump attached to hose and telescopic watering wand.
2- oscillating fans for circulation.
Walls covered in reflective material

Veg room:

1- 1000 watt MH with angel wing reflector
1- 4 bulb T5 veg light
1- 40 site hydro cloner
Walls covered in reflective material


Two rounds of 40 clones were cut from our Big Bud mother plant.
Hydro cloner is filled with 10 L water and 30ml of Nutriplus Start. Water is then set to a ph of 6.3
Clones are left for 6 days, 78 of 80 grow root systems. 8 are being saved for mothers
When transplanting we wet our sunshine mix 4 with 1 drop/gallon of hydro thrive to reduce shock and promote roots.
Clones are transplanted to dixie cups and moved closer to the T5 for a few days until they will be moved under the MH.

Nothing to comment on.

sorry having a lil trouble getting set up... how do i post pictures? i am trying to post my progress on this cycle so far I just transplanted and would like to show pics

there we go. pics up transplant up and we will follow this cycle as it goes along. I am starting this thread because threwout bloom i get some discolouring and some other things that I'm not sure of so when it happens I will post pics and inquire. thank you. also any other comments are welcome

lol everyone had more to say about the empty post lol

how is the big bud i got bbxnl i this start to grow do the pull a lot yield

My last round I had a mix of a few strains. Big bud being one of them, couldnt get a grip on the yield case we didn't bother weighing seperate. But the bb did have the biggest frostiest nicest smelling nugs. I have a full bb show in week 5. I will take some pics in a few days and keep posted on that round. Looking very promising.

it looks like you know what you are doing and a very good grower, i am not sure what you what to know?
ask some question and get some answers

have you tried critical mass strain
its better strain than big bud

looks very nice, maybe I will check it out. Now I see you trim you fans almost completely. I dont know if the hydro makes a difference but me and my partner are trying to figure out if it is best to trim alot a lil or none at all because the subject is very devided lol we are trying it both ways half and half in this round. thoughts?

i trim the fans 3 days before i chop, 24h dark and hang
the one in veg is a new grow, bubbler and the rest is old grow in soil

ok so you find the 24 hr dark helps as well? I do the same but not sure if it helps...

i think it increases crystal production

i trim the fans 3 days before i chop
it gives the buds more light and uses what food there is left, in turn increasing bud size

Update... first round of clones in the cloner discoloring after transplant? advise?

im subbed! can wait to see how it turns out.. go on some beast mode and rack up the young 2gs a watt.. illl bee watchin

Maybe a nitrogen deficiency? Just a tip maybe.
Or PH is off.

did you just put them straight into soil?

or you use a cloner machine
