Wow, looks great man!! It's always nice to see people's grows doing so well!
1000W Grow Room, Soil, White Rhino, DIY Carbon Filter + Veg Tent. Setup included!
- Thread starter Tophead
- Start date
Decided to go with Permaflect instead of the Panda film.
"Unlike traditional mylar Permaflect can be wiped clean for long-lasting reflectivity. Giant size roll is 54" wide, a full 6 inches wider than the rest.
Highly reflective & reinforced for durability!
25' & 100' length
Wall & floor covering or room divider
Mesh increases diffusion - no hot spots"

Will be putting it up later tonight and taking new pics.

Took some pictures, really seeing a lot of accelerated flowering this time around, lots of white hairs and good looking growth, its only been a little over a week since I started flowering.
This will be a perpetual grow. Just bought the last batch of grow pots and soil for the next 7 clones to go into. Then I will transition the 7 white rhino's in the veg tent into the flowering room, and they will move to the inside once the current crop is done. I really could use more light but this system should work.
Put up some of the Permaflect, didn't get pictures of that yet. I like working with the material, much easier than foil or mylar. It's sturdy, reflective, and seems like it will do a great job. In the pictures to come you should see the grow room transition to permaflect. I'm sure that will make it look a lot more professional too, the aluminum foil looks great until it tears then it looks like crap.

If your only a week into flowering and the room is already exploding with plants like that, how the hell are you gonna deal with such crowding??!
There is room, believe it or not the plants are all within a 4x4 box right now, and can be moved outwards slightly more. I plan to put more plants along the outside, which is why I'm wrapping the whole room in Permaflect to make sure I get the most out of the 1000W HPS.
There is also the ability to move the light vertically, the light is on steel cables with some kind of pressure clamp, cost about $20 at the grow store. Makes moving the light up and down a snap. I've measured the lumens and over 500 lumens are hitting the outsides of the room. Really could use a more accurate light meter but what I've got makes it apparent that there is good light still available and I'm not using all of my grow space. Although its going to be crowded in there when I am done. I expect the plants to grow maybe another foot vertically, while all the tops from the side branches start shooting straight up. Now lets hope the yields are there as well.

Looks good. And it COULD be my imagination, but do the plants in pic 2 have a little stretching? the nodes look separated by 2-3 inches or so. Am I just seeing it wrong?
There is a little stretch, wanted to get them to grow a little taller so I can put them out in the flowering room. Also only one t5 4x4. The stretch happened pretty quickly and they havn't grown much taller but have started bushing out more again. In about 6 days they will be going into the flowering room and new clones planted into the same 5 gallon smart pots will go in the veg tent to take their place.

Nice setup man, can't wait til I have more room to operate and can setup 2 separate grow area's. Right now, the veg and flower room are 1 in the same, but until my HPS comes in, i'll be in veg 
9 white rhino's in flowering are looking great. Lots of hairs and sticky resin glands, as well as the wonderful smell.
7 white rhino's that are in veg will be moved to flowering, so this is the last pic of them in veg. I may pick a new mother and flower out the existing mother. 7 clones will be going into 5 gallon smart pots with about 4 gallons of dirt each and then under the t5 4x4.
The 1000w MH really makes a difference, I've got some nice looking plants but not nearly as big as the first batch. Of course this was to be expected. Need more room and another light, hopefully that will be accomplished with some upgrades to the grow room in the coming months.
In the pics below, plants in flower look a little droopy, but I foliar fed them shortly before the lights came on, and these pics were shortly after the lights came on. I usually take pics after the plants have been awake a while. I expect them to perk up.

Small update, no pics today.
Moved things around to make more room for the plants. 6 of the clones in the 5 gallon smart pots have been moved out to flower, as well as the Mother. T5 was lowered (no need to keep it to the top of the grow tent anymore). 1 new clone was chosen as the new mother.
I will be shortly potting the 7 clones into 5 gallon smart pots with about 4 gallons of dirt. The clones look very healthy, very long roots, lots of hairs.
Need to acquire a new cloning bucket, old one was a loaner.
Pics will be posted tomorrow, its seriously looking like a jungle in there.
I would estimate the 9 white rhino's that have been in flower are taking up a 4x4 box directly under the light and the other plants will make that a 6x6 box. The 1000W HPS seems to cover the area will, but I may need to raise the newest ones up more, they seem to be losing some light through the dense jungle in the middle of the room.

Nice, I like your flower room!!
And congrats on the 1000W's!!
And congrats on the 1000W's!!
Plants are looking good. 16 white rhino's in flowering right now, at 2 different stages. To really complete this perpetual grow I see I really need a stronger light for veg, I'll be looking for a 600W or 1000W MH to stick in another room, just looking for the right deal.
7 clones recently planted into 5 gallon smart pots, they seem to be doing fine. I'll get some pics of those in for the next update.
