I'd probably pull those 4 1000 watters and replace em with 6 or 7 600's, and put them about 8 inches from the tops. Then I'd fill that room SO full you'd only be able to crawl through.... Add in some wicked fans to move that air around... Shit, with all that $ I'd save on electricity, I think I'd find an automated water system too!

Is it just me or is that a LOT of unused space?

Other wise, looking good! I wish I could burn 10,000 watts!
Yeah i wish i had 2 4x8's but these trays were at a steal price! 60 bucks each.

sweet id love to share!!! first id sell those flood tables and put that money towards an co2 set up, then id put those lights on proper specs, then id go out and get 19-20 10 gallon pots, fill those pots with sunshine #4-compressed bails. those potts your flowering in now use those for veg. no more then 4 weeks veg 21 days is perfect, then transplant into those 10 gallon pots and go into 12/12. if u want a nutrient line just ask, ill share that too.

I actually have a co2 system i use them on bottles and regulator. i have a line to the back of an oscilating fan that way it blows all over the room. i'm actually experimenting with bigger pots as well. i use to run 12 of those pots and still get at least a lb to a lb and half. that's with a finiicky og as well. but i am going to use bigger pots on my bigger room rite now. im just waiting for my smart pots to arrive in the mail. but those pots are 7 gal. thinking about running 9 under a light in 7 gal pots. that room also has co2 as well same system. regulator and line behind an oscillating fan as well. that way i can be a little more lazy as well with the bigger pots, feed every other day instead of everyday.

thx for the advice good sir, im actually thinking about automated feeding system as welll

but im going to be experimenting with 7 gal pots first, then after i've done that i will work on automated. ty for ur advice!

So i received my smart pots a while back. i ordered 27 of them, and only got 26 so i ran to the store and bought an extra pot. transplanted everybody and lowered my trays onto 2gal buckets. to give me more room. take a look!!!! this is part of my 6000w room.

So i have began experimenting around with some bloom boosters. bud igniter and big bud. vs liquid kool bloom and dry kool bloom.
I have noticed that with my plants. (your strains might react differently) that they seem to like liquid kool bloom and dry kool bloom. The nodes stack very nicely with those 2.
vs bud ignitor and big bud. my plants will actually do a long stretch between nodes. and they will not stack nicely to give me nice colas, but individual buds. rather than a cola i will get nice big individual nugs. I actually like the colas. seems more easier to me to trim a bunch of colas vs individual nugs. but i mean, if u are getting rid of dispensary one complaint i've had from them before was that i keep giving them big colas. and they hate to break that down. they say what about the gram buyer!? i have to break down this beautiful cola for this guy who just wants a gram!!! and so if u are actually getting that complaint. maybe you would wanna do the bigger individual buds. please chime in and tell me what u guys think!!!! if anyone else had this same experience as i. with using bud ignitor & bid bud, vs liquid and dry kool bloom!!!!

meh.. i get alrite. i've had some technical difficulties so im still sorting that out. i was getting 1-1.5 per 1000w using rockwool. then decided to switch from liquid and dry kool bloom to bud ignitor and big bud. AND switched to coco. so from my 1.-1.5 per 1000w went to .75-1lb per 1000w. so im still trying to figure out my kinks and smooth it all over. i think i will be sticking to liquid kool and dry kool bloom atm. so my 6000w room is still experimenting with bud and big bud on 7 gal pots atm. and my 4000w room are in 5.5"x5.5" pots using liquid and dry kool bloom. after my 6000w experiment with the 7 gals. i will then switch nutes from bud ignitor and big bud to liquid n dry kool bloom. to see if they like those bloom boosters better than bud ignitor and big bud.

Sorry been gone for a while. My buddy just got lymphoma cancer. so been trynna help him out and everything, and just checking up on him when i can. he's doing chemo right now and he cant even smoke. he says the doc says he cant take anything while under chemo cuz his immune system is down from chemo. and he recently caught a fever while under chemo, so they had him in the ER for a while to make sure it didnt progress. Also been busy with trimming and transplanting. and figuring out a new spot. Gonna be running my own op soon. and cutting out all the partners im doing this with. So i'm pretty excited. here are some pics from what was going on. Yeild was 1 Lb. per light. But i was hoping to get 1.5 Lbs. This probably would have been achieved if i went 16 Per light instead of 12. But when i ran this with coco, I was receiving 1.5 Lb Per light with 12 plants but they were in 3 gal pots and not 5"x5". But overall I am happy with the way it came out. Also it was a learning experience. Experience is a great teacher. But also my nugs just werent as FULL as my runs with COCO. Sorry dont have any Promix finished cut and cured nug Pictures, moved it too quickly and didnt think to document. it was ALMOST the same. But not quite. Buds hardly shrank in size either with promix. But, in the end my yield just wasnt the same. I yielded a HALF P more when using COCO vs Promix. But maybe if i ran more plants, i would've hit the goal. The pictures below are of the PROMIX buds and that sleepwalker picture is a COCO run, same with the OG one with a lighter(coco run) i just dont have any pictures cut dried and cured of the Promix buds (sorry). they were nice dont get me wrong. But nothing like coco.

ALSO my 6000w Room. didnt document any more pictures. but they came out looking NICE!!!!
i also hit 1.25 Per Light. with FAT JUICY NUGS. but i am so sorry i didnt document. I like using 7 gal pots for OG strain. they came out so frosted. and the nugs were HUGE. big plants big root mass, big buds!!! but agian i am sorry i didnt document it. AND they moved too quickly when i was done trimming them. I loved doing less plants (9/light), and with feeding EVERY OTHER DAY. saved me some nutes, and gave me more time to work on me and my garden. I am very happy with the way it went. The only thing is more media and more ONE TIME LABOR. but it's worth it after it's all said n done, Feed every other day, which means HALF of the nutes used to get the same amount of weight. I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!! I will be using this method in my 6000w with OG's only. I tried doing this with Sleep walker strain, and it didnt go quite well. I got at least .75 per light. and that strain doesnt grow AT ALL like my OG. needed WAY more phosphorous as well vs my OG. so that was also my bad. I use Mono Ammonium Phosphate as a supplement at 1/8 tspn per Gallon as a supplement. but i didnt do it this run. just to see how it would go with just LKB/DKB (liquid kool bloom/Dry kool bloom) but found that my plants needed more P. I'll b switching back to COCO and doing 16plants per 1000w in my 4000w room and 7 gal pots for OG only in my 6000w room. I will start another grow journal when i do that. so look for that soon!

Also, my OG's loved Bud Ignitor and LKB/DKB
and my Sleepwalkers loved Bud Ignitor with powder Bigbud & Liquid kool Bloom at half str. and also a mono ammonium phosphate supplement.

Thx for checking everything out!!!! hope u guys enjoyed going thru this with me!

I think you could easily fit twice, maybe 3 times as many plants as what you have. Way too much wasted space but otherwise looks awesome.
I prolly could have, but i sadly dont have enough room in my veg room to make so many plants, and i'm on a perpetual cycle on 2 rooms, one 4000w room and a 6000w room, i just dont have enough room for the 2 rooms if i make as many as i can, i am limited on space. my veg room is like 10x10. I feel i need like another 4x8 tray in my veg room to be able to fit that many plants, and still have enough room to comfortably work in my veg room. simply put, my veg room is too small to maximize plants. i live in a 3 bedroom house, and was thinking about making a tent outside in the living room, but i rather not just because the outside of my living quarters looks normal. but to each their own. thx for the input!!!. when i am doing my next set up. im going to try to have as much room for my veg as i possibly can. so that's also something i will keep in mind. 3x i think is a bit overkill but would have probably ensured me hitting my weight. but i think 16 plants instead of 12 would have given me what i was looking for. as i've hit 1.5lb with 6" rockwool with 12 plants per 1000w. thx for ur input again tho!
