Can't believe you went that big the first time around but it looks like you did something right! Just watch them close for the last few weeks

stupidity lol, but the money was there to do it right the first time. we also have had people to help us out a lot through the way, but the room is basically of our design.
Theres a lot of stuff we already plan on changing before the next round goes in.

That looks great -- I'd love to see some pics with normal lighting.

You'll find that, no matter how long you do this, you'll *always* be tweaking your setup. :)

yea ill snap a few pics before the lights go on tonight. got few problems we need help diagnosing anyway.

and yea no bullshit this is our first grow. ive helped people trim and transplant before but never had to mix my own nutes, top plants, assess problems, ect... on our own.

great job for your first grow, wow.

I recommend any watering system. Ive run around with 24 large girls and the watering alone took soo much of my day. untill i setup a little sprinkler system.:bigjoint:
just get some plastic tubing and some ebows, and a pump with rez.

also u might want to consider your options to create the ability to flush with your soil for the next grow. 4 weeks in flower and im sure that salt build up can get rough on the plants.

great job!!

^ yea all the trays are on double stacked 2x4's so we can flush untill we see water. luckly next round were switching to 5 gal pots so it should be a lot easier.

If you haven't already bought the 5 gallons, go with 7s. They floorspace is pretty much identical, but you get 40% more root room. If you already have 5s, those work fine too :)
