8-12k CMH medicinal grow

Whats up guys? Used to post on here 6 years back or so. Took a long break due to some issues, but now I am back.

I had such great results with running a single 315CMH bulb on a old magnetic 400w ballast that I decided to run all CMH in this room. Link to first journal on here from years back .... https://www.rollitup.org/t/nugs-330w-cmh-grow-5-types-of-kush.452426/

The ironic thing is that in that thread I talked about putting two 315 bulbs in one hood to try to create a better CMH set up back in 2011, but had to step away from growing for a bit so now here I am 6 years later. I go to see what kind of ceramic lights are on the market and what do you I see? Two 315s inside one hood! Hahaha! Not trying to claim or anything, but I thought it was pretty funny...

So anyways here we go...

First room.....

Sealed 12" x 15" x 11" w/ 30k split AC/Heat
6 630w Ceramic Metal Halides (Nanolux) **only 4 hung up currently**
----May switch to new 1000w CMHs
2 4x8 trays **adjustable legs for now, custom rolling benches coming soon**
2 either 2x4 or 4x4 trays **not installed yet**
2 115 flat reservoirs (one feed tank and one as reserve for quick water changes)
5 gallon g-lite (smart pots) in ProMix
Recirculating system with custom top drippers
Co2 tank w/ Autopilot APC8200 Co2 controller
House and Garden Aqua Flakes
SCROG first round. Possibly switching to SOG after

Strains:
Tahoe OG
SFV OG
Budder OG (SFV pheno)
Skywalker OG
The White
Boss OG (fire OG pheno)
Gorilla Glue #4
Master Kush

(The trays will be filled mostly with GG#4 and MK and there will be 2 of all other strains as a test run. I will probably move them over once I get the other 2 lights set up)

The tester plants in one tray under T5s , until I get the MK and GG4 to catch up in size so I can turn on the CMH's (they just popped roots). Then I got temporary nursery tent set up with mom of each strain under T5 and clone dome stacked on top of the T5 until I get the veg room built out.

Lite: Thank you. The clones temp is about 77-78 degrees.

Horribleherk: I got the Boss OG cut from a friend, but I believe it is originally from Dark Hart..

IMG_20171130_205033890.jpg Turned on 2 of the CMH's today. Ladies are stoked!

All the MK and GG4 cuts rooted and got them transplanted. Forgot to take pics.

Got all the lights hooked up to the Nanolux Data Transfer Unit so that the lights are controlled wireless through tablet I have mounted on the wall (or my cell phone). Pretty cool little feature, all new stuff to me, I'm used to good old timers and control boxes. Has a thermometer hooked up to it also so you can preset for lights to dim and then turn off at certain temperatures as safety precaution. Forgot to take pics also, so ill post more tomorrow.

Showing up on on my Indica dominant strain called "The White". Had some CalMag issues that I corrected so could have been that.
