My 2012 Grow Op...

After lots of research and 17 months growing, I feel I have come a long way.
I got a strain of some great smoke with a Mother good to go.
Already got 6 clones 1 week in and today I will be doing 8 more.
Veg will begin 1/1/12 for the first 6 and 1/7/12 for the other 8.
2 of the 8 will become new mothers and the rest will go into Bloom.
I'll have them all in 5 Gal pots filled with Fox Farm Ocean Forest.
Technaflora Nutes from the entire
Recipe for Success line up are used through out.
So that's 12 plants in a 8' by 5' room, under 2 Yield Master II Classic 4" air cooled hoods.
1
4" Centrifugal fan will be cooling the 2 600 watt Hortilux Super HPS Bulbs.
Powering the lights are 2 Lumatek 600 watt Dimmable Electronic Ballast.
Will post some pics after the clones are done and the 2nd hood is hung.

:leaf:Everything is in Veg but the two clones that for some reason didn't root???:leaf:
I'm so glad that there was enough stem to recut and try again.
Thinking about making a micro 4 site so I can get the 6th one into the right pot.

:leaf:Had a shit fuckin load typed then lost it...I HATE THAT!!!:leaf:
Shown in the Rez are two 160gph nute pumps.
I will be replacing them with the next size bigger pump
and will be using these in my next Veg upgrade.
The return flow is so good I'm gonna go ahead do 10 next cycle.
Running the air lines today to test the 45LPM on (10) 4" OxyStones.
4 in the Rez, 1 in each bucket. But I'll probably end up getting the next size bigger air pump now anyway.

bust out that other tote and rinse me off some roots!!!

:leaf:Added a 2nd 3/4" return line and dropped a 160GPH Nute pump into the Control Rez.:leaf:
Two weeks from today I'll have my new Lumatek 600w MH/HPS Dimmable Digital Ballast installed.
At that point everything in the RDWC Veg Tote goes into bloom.
I'm putting the soilings into Bloom in 3 weeks.
