+rep on the ingenuity when it came to the solution of hanging your lights. You should consider putting a post in the DIY section, I think many people could benefit your idea when it comes to SoG and somewhat uniform canopies.

i will do that for sure right now cause i looked everywhere to see if someone had a solution to this with no luck so if i can help a person or two im all for it thanks again for the rep and rep right back to you my friend.

so going on 5 weeks thursday and everything is looking good in the flower room colas are filling in nicely, now instead of flowering my runts that where sitting in veg and still not growing much i decided to flower my bubba mother as i was going to switch her for out anyway and i have never been able to flower one of my moms so that should be interesting to see lol well here are some pics.

Hey bro are you using T5's for veg and if so how far are they from the tops how many bulbs, watts, spectrum etc.? hehe I think I'm going to switch from MH to T5's for veg/mother room.

i have two t5 lights the one i use for veg is a 4 bulb and the one i use for my mothers is a 6 bulb and they work great, i like to be able to put them very close and with little heat it works out for the small rooms i have vegging and my mothers going on.

i keep them about 2 to 4" from the tops.

Hey dr if the ebb is what you think you want to
Go to my foot print is 10x10 with 30 bucket on x4
600 and at 9 1/2 weeks its 3 to 4 zips per bucket
There alway a runt and it 1 to 2 zips on it. One about
That system they grow like gang busters but large plant
You dont need to get alot off one plant in this system
I would go 2 to three weeks veg then trip them and they
Will be 3 plus feet

One more thing not shure about growdan
Got a bud testing it but hydrotron seems
To work best plus it more stable ph

thanks for the replies man i am very interested in it like you said maybe the monster system will work just not sure what would be best, im looking into upgrading all my ballast's to some dimmable 1000 watters so i dont have the problem with getting these things if i want to expand.

so you are running x4 600's and getting 30 pots under them right?? 3-4 zips a plant is very good i would do that no problem, i have plenty of space for that.

 

[drgreentm]

hey hellraizer im sold im going to do it, here is a crude footprint let me know what you think. i will use my 6 400's in a different layout with 20 plants in the system, im thinking a 400 for 4 decent sized plants should be ok if they dont grow the way i want i will just upgrade my ballast's at that point for more watts.

Hey dr just got home will upload a layout and some pics of what the 2gal system can do later sunday got to get some
Sleep. Ttyl

this run was jacked up went a extra week thinking it would be ok but as you can see they got way
to big and will effect the yield for sure. but 10x10 x4 600 and 3 to 4 per is easy. one thing this run
is there drinking 30 gals every 4 days so res change every week is a must. the hose were swaped
out for pvc with threaded break points for easy cleaning.

What sort of size are you looking for before putting into flower and have you considered vertical growing like this?........https://www.rollitup.org/grow-room-design-setup/419280-vertical-tree-grow.html

very nice man, i ordered the 12 site system already and moved my lights, also built a riser floor from plywood and going to wrap it in a white tarp for any leaks or anything (will post pics today stupid camera battery died).

so you are saying the veg timing is critical correct? to much = to crowded, to little = loss in yield, so to put them in at the perfect time is going to determine allot im sure. im going to run the 12 site for the first run then get the expansion kits for 24 next run if all goes well and the system is dialed in well at that point. im thinking i can still spread my outer lights out a bit more (will get you pics soon).

 

[drgreentm]

ok so here are some pics of whats going on now like i said thinking i can still move those outer rows out a bit more for some added light to the outsides but for only 12 for the first run im thinking i should be ok. you can also see the bubbas are doing good the mother has blown up and looking healthier than ever. i also forgot to mention i harvested the WW's and came out to around 6 oz's dry (sorry dont have any harvest pics).

Yah 3.5 weeks veg was way to long for the orange kush that are on the left. But the local strain on the right was ok
Estimated yield on this one going to be 2 1/2 to 3 per im hoping. If you set up 24under those 6 hps you will kill it in a
Good way for sure. One thing to think about is maybe geting another 12site to slit the 24 to sep res to get a longer
Res water life, cus these are crazy drinking fools lol

glad to see another orange krush grower.

thanks man ya im thinking 3 weeks would be good these bubbas are weird in veg seems like the first week is virtually no growth then the second week they explode to about 10" then they slow way down again, the widows on the other hand just grow constantly and i have 7 clones already ready for transplant and another 7 should be ready within a few days also the system should be here in a few days im feeling really good about this one i can feel the impatience building up lol.

 

[drgreentm]

got the tarp covering the wood today and moved the lights a bit apart the system should be here tomorrow or sat

Looking good im going to go to 6x 600 as soon as i get the heat issue under control, this will be
Epic grow cant wait to see how you doo
