opinions/advise on my grow start/plan

I plan on doing an SOG setup with a hydroponic sprayer system (something like the aquamist). I have someone building me a custom system, but out of an actual reservoir not a cheap storage container =p.

My seedlings setup (will be cloning setup once I'm done messing with seeds) is a 30 gallon storage container with a t5 cfl light fixture hanging from the lid. I have my garbage bag seeds in some rockwool on a tray in there right now. Trying to get some practice in before I use my $150 worth of seeds =O

I started by germinating the seeds in a damp papertowel. I then moved them into starter rockwool cubes. Now they are in the tray inside the storage container. I cut a hole in the side and have a fan blowing air in. I also put some holes around the upper lip to allow air to escape.

My flowering chamber is still under construction, but will be 36" L X 24" W X 64" H. I will be using a 250W HPS with a reflector.

The growing system is a custom made aeroponics sprayer system with 14 3" net pot plant sites.

I plan on doing SOG since I don't have much height to my box. The plan is to start the seeds, get them about 7" - 9" tall then put them straight into flowering. I will remove all the lower branches to keep the focus on the main cola. I will use these cutting to produce clones, and this will be a never ending cycle.

I will only have 7-8 plants on one side of the flowering room so after my clones are 2-3 weeks old i can move them into the other side of the flowering room and harvest about once a month.


So far the bag seeds that I started are doing ok. Hopefully I'll be done building my grow cabinet soon and have it all setup. I want to run these bag seeds through before I try my expensive seeds.

What you guys think?

I read a lot around here, and I hope it all goes well. I know it takes practice but I've defintely done my research, hope it all pays off =O.

Much love to rollitup.org for having such a great site, and much love to all the rollitup.org users for answering so many questions

<3

I will post some pictures once I have something interesting. nobody wants to see pics of seedlings in a tray =p

once i get my cabinet finished with the system inside ill post pictures

Nice one. Wish you luck BS.

I think you mean you will take clones of the $150 seedlings, yes?

Are the $150 seeds feminized?

Take the clones 2 weeks before flowering. It would take ages for the clones to take root, and get back to vegative state, if you cut clones from the parent plant while it's in flower.

well ill take some clones of the bag seed just to practice cloning...i wont keep them but long enough to see if they live...then toss them and started my good seeds

yes i bought feminized white widow and feminized power skunk

2 weeks before flowering? i dont have the room for a veg room or a room to keep a mother....i have to take clones of clones...if i grow a clone for 2-3 weeks before flowering i believe its too young to pull more clones off of it?

i am just assuming how this will work out..i was told by people here they use clones of clones..i know people diong SOG trim branches the first 2 weeks of flowering...which i guess is still kinda considering veg because its still growing and not blooming yet..
