Im looking to start my second SOG attempt. I have 4 3x3' trays and plan to fill them with alaskan ice clones every 2 weeks in rockwool... the main thing im trying to decide on is what kind of lighting I should use? i already have 4 400watt HPS but have been wanting to try the 8 bulb T5 high output fluorescents, does anybody know how much light i will be loosing if i try the fluoros? i want to harvest about 8-14 ozs everys 2 weeks in 3x3 trays if thats possible?
Your help will be much appreciated!

not with flouros. just say no. the 400's are a bit small but will get the job done. 600's are great and of course the mighty 1k is king, but with drawbacks.
Your help will be much appreciated!

go with your 400's unless you wanna upgrade to 600's. you'll be glad you did. the t-5's are good for vegging or clones but please dont flower anything with them. some of us are required by law to fuck with you if you do.:-P

I have one 8 in. max fan sucking air out of 2 hoods. and a 6 in can bringging cool air in the hood. i got 8 in hepa filter bringing air into room. Merlin for water filteration with tall boy. room is all covered with panda, and diamond cut maylar. ballasts are 1000 watt lumeteks. trees are going to be in rockwool with hydroton spread around the tray at 2 inch thickness.

sounds like a grow to remember. try reflectix instead of panda or mylar. they both roll and crack and the panda fades. it takes about a year (it did for me) for it to mess up. and as far as the nutes go. simple is better. gh 3 part. get that down and go from there. i would suggest adding flouralicous plus and kool bloom.

Well here I am 24 of 24 clones in rockwool rooted and into the first flood tray. They have been in there for a week now. I lost two for no apparent reason. Maybe roots didn't get down into the flood line. Whatever. So now I have 22 clones in the flowering room and thriving like mad. Man I have a feeling this is going to be the longest 2 months of my life. Oh well. Good things come to those who wait. I am still scared to toss up any pics. Maybe that will pass. Hope everyone else is doing well.
