Just got done tearing the old flower room down, and cleaning a few res'. Feeling under the weather but I need to get this new room going, and clear out my stuffed veg room. I should have the room ready for pics tonight. I want the room filled by the middle of next week. Pics to come.
 
opinions are always welcome.
And everyone has one right? Don't want to be the newbe stepping on toes. After all these years its like an instant thing to me, and of course I'm certainly right always, except when I'm wrong. lol. What jumped out at me was your ballast hanghing inside the grow, if you have the cord length I'd move it out. They can add ten degrees. The reflective walls to tight to reflect may help to give some room. You have ventilation and or cO2? Just my pot wheels spinning, great looking grow. I wonder if you have ever used the same set up but skipped the vegging phase. suspect yield would be close but time much shorter.

The ballast is pretty much non heat-emitting, but I'm in an unheated large space and it's winter, so it doesn't signify much. I have plenty of air exchange but no chance for using CO2; leaky ancient stone structure, lol.

I always thought reflective material should be as close as possible? In any case, that's more winterizing than anything else, and provisionally put up to boot. By mid-January, I'll be redirecting the exhaust from the light fan back up under that insulation to heat the air around the plants. Gotta get my res off the ground too! Here's a larger view. I have radiator pipes overhead that complicate where i put this and hang that:





I do zero veg style frequently. These are mothers grown from seed, so once they are out of the way, I will have a smaller run of the same plants from clone, and then after that, depending on schedule and my tendency to jump strains, I'll do a couple of zero veg ops, while some other thing is vegging into motherhood.

I think it's a horse apiece in terms of yield; ten large plants will yield about the same as 40 small plants. (well, that's what I'ma bout to investigate, anyhow. I just finished a 40 plant sog in the same setup).

What a delight that would be, hasn't been my experience but it feels very good here. I hope to learn some. teach some, and meet some good people. Paying my dues to the hemp Gods

Welcome prof to the club six hundred, the best feeling thread on RIU and thank you for stopping by, I would like to think your talents will be appreciated here. For the record, there are many of us on here who use more than a 600. I happen to use two and others like you use 1000's or some sort of combination. We have all types of growing methods being used in all types of mediums in all types of spaces. I hope you enjoy your stay.

Where's the boss been? Haven't seen him post lately?

Anyway here's the pics promised earlier. My shackzilla starting showing on the fourth and the og18 on the fifth. The colombian gold has been flowering before being put into 12/12, I think she's the fourth generation clone and the critical kali mist just started flowering the other day. She's a long one so she's a bit behind the others.

Left front shackzilla, left rear og18, middle kali mist and right colombian gold clone. The colombian is in a half gallon grow bag with the bottom cut out and added to a one gallon smart pot, all the rest are three gallon smart pots.

Time to take care of my duty. As I mentioned my good buddy the vietnam vet died a couple of months ago. I just got off the phone with his wife and I'm heading over to drop off a care package for her and her son. I think the critical kali mist has cured enough it's been about two weeks in jars and I'll toss in a few super skunk nugs which have been curing a bit longer. He was a damn good person and this is my way of kind of paying it forward. I miss you guns, I'll do my best to look after your family old friend, rest in peace.

Well my hericules is doing really well, the structure is really nice, tight internodes and short for four weeks old. It looks like my three og 18 clones are all going to make it, I'm pleased, a one hundred percent clone rate for the og18. The plants look like shit, I think I may have made the soil to wet when I stuck them in the party cups but they are recovering and will grow. Some of the best weed I've grown so far has been from fucked up plants. My little cat piss baby with the two inch stalk and four heads was one of the mutants and she was a killer so I tend to hang onto my ill babies to see how they finish. I took a cutting from the shackzilla and stuck it in the glass of water on my windowsill with the other og18 clones that are starting to sprout roots and have stayed green and healthy looking sitting only in water on my windowsill. They are the healthiest looking cuttings I've taken and I've done nothing to them to see how they respond. So far so good.

Im not sure how to blow the pics up...still a noob there, but im sure someone will hook me up.

The room is about 10'x7', and im using 4" irrigation piping. Im running a vertical bare bulb, on a horizontal mover. The piping you see will be mirrored on the opposing walls. Im spacing the plants about 1' apart, and should have 24 plants per setup. The res lid is on the floor for refrence. This is going to be rdwc, i just need to make some dams that are removable. Ill have some more pics up once this side is done. Im gonna smoke a boll, cough my head off, spit up a few nasties, and get back at it. Thanks to the guys that helped/inspired this new setup. Jig and Dez have been awesome for bouncing ideas off of.

Peace out.

Wow bro. It's looking fucking sweet in there. It's so roomy. I'm really stoked for this new set up. You are gonna have a great time working with it. Looking forward to seeing what you can get growing out of those pipes.

Hour 32 awake now. Time for bed. nite nite 6ers. Or have a good evening, lol. Or morning whatever.

Strictly, when you say mirrored, what exactly do you mean? Mirrors are not a good reflective surface even though you would think they are. You would be better off painting it using as white a paint as you can find, a flat or matte white, nothing with a sheen to it.

Grape Ape
The Purps
Purple Kush

I want a purple strain this time...lol

I have grown Grape Ape b4, none of the others though.
