Dagambler been watching your work for awhile now and the rooms are very well setup!!!! 
Always enjoy checking out your veg area tons of clones happy as can be even i believe the little farmer joins us every once in awhile.
Been enjoying the video in your sig, but looking forward to the new one.

(6 Days after transplant into the Flower Room.)
(The Right Gulley: 24 Durban Poison and White Russian)
(The Left Gulley: 24 more with a majority being Mr. Nice hybrids)
Knowing that they stretch / grow for another 2 weeks after switching to 12/12 ... i'll be rushing to take clones tomorrow, trying to ram on some cages, and flipping the switch on flower mode. Still trying to harvest the last 2 Mr. Nice plants from the previous crop (all of which yeilded at least 3 ounces, while the Durban Poisons all yeilded at least 2 ounces and the [good] White Russians yeilded from 2 to 4 ounces each). Just about ready to give up on the 5 White Russians that stalled in growth and then suffered light disruption (they are in a separate room). Dey iz Ug-lee. My ppm just got bumped from 780 to about 950. Using 2 parts G.H. Micro to 3 parts G.H. Bloom (no G.H. Grow).

DG, Looking very nice there. I'm getting ready for another round and am trying to decide if I want to try out a copy of your setup this go around. Is there something that if you were to do it over, that you would do differently? Or anything that comes to mind that would be helpful that might not have been obvious at the start. Thanks
I make changes every round ... still havn't determined the full merits of the current setup - but i am expecting good things (especially based upon the current growth over the last week). My setup requires a very minimum of effort, IMO. Once things are running its just a matter or monitoring pH / ppm and doing rez. change-outs every couple weeks.
Buying some more 16-20oz. cups today... will solder gun some holes around the bottom perimeter and stuff them with perlite. Pull approx. one clone from each girl in the flower room (from the bottoms of the plants) - and then do some light lollipopping. Then cages will go on and i'll flip them to 12/12.
There is a 'time' and 'order' for everything ... in keeping the crop perpetual, but its nothing too mysterious. Throw me a journal link (or setup thread, etc.) if you get one going and i'd be happy to go along for the ride.

I wold be honored to have you checking on my grow and chiming in. Thanks again bro.

They look very happy Gambler! I am curious about the cages you speak of. lol do you put an individual cage on each bucket?
(Clones taken just today ... and a couple seedling 'mums' i cut way back to get them more in-line with the new clone crop.)
(Cages finally made and placed on the buckets. Ther' Not Going Anywhere.)
Yipper, an individual cage on each bucket. I've got several varieties of weed growing and they finish at different times ... so a screen or net wouldn't be an option. But this'll work. And now it's bedtime for Bonzo. They will take their first nap tonight for about 24 hours Off and then start their 12/12 cycle.

nice cage wrap, looks like it would work better then the tomatao cages i have been seeing used.
Will be trying that on at least one of my mothers some time.
Was wondering how your work area(Restanks, timers, ....) is setup, i am always curious to see how a expericanced grower did it.

not sure. mine are just 4 ft. no climb fencing split up the middle, wrapped and bent. you'll probably not find anything as sturdy as what you can make.

Gambler I like the cages. Can you get you hand through the fence to trim if need? I may give that a try my next round.
you asshat, ur show'in me up in my own thread !!
nah, just kidding bro. 
Once again, ur light height scares me ... but its obviously working if ur getting a useable footprint like that. Makes me want to switch to some XXXL Magnum reflectors..
i can thin a few fan leaves if needed or adjust the individual drippers ... but they'll pretty much be left alone after two weeks into flower.
.
Wouldn't have a clue as to how an 'experienced grower' would do things ... but here's the best "behind the scenes" managerie that i can throw together:
(Above Pic: Crusty little work area that is perpetually dirty. The last of the Mr. Nice that'll harvest tonight. She'll pull about 2 oz. dry.)
Drying rack that is cleared off as needed to make way for more paper lunch sacks. Plants immediately manicured and placed into sacks between 90g and 140g total weight. (Paper bag is weighed, minus the bag weight, divided by four, add the bag weight. The finish weight is written on the bag. I throw the sacks on the scale when in doubt until they reach the desired weight. Bag 'em for a couple days in plastic baggies, then open some of those for a couple more days if needed.)
The cluster-fuck of power cords for some of the HPS lamps, fans, blowers, etc. Deffinitely pro
The ballasts are below the house. Lamp cords come up through the center of the room.
You'll have to use your imagination on this one. The big black thing is the 300 gal. rez. below the house ... a couple of timers for the UV light water pumps that feed the ebb 'n flow and another timer for the solenoid RO water float valve.

looks good....like money about to go to the bank
