6 is optimal in my room, but as you can see in my video's there is room on the back wall. If someone had a little more room, a plant can be placed in that vacant area.

Will allow for a trellis or some other form of training, especially since i plan at least one sativa/sativa dominant strain.

SB, mite as well include everything here lol. i had a spider mite infestation last grow. any advice on how to avoid this in the future?

THAT ... and mold/fungi, too. i wud appreciate ANY advice.

Finally, wud hanging a Parabolic Dome/Reflector well above the lamp be worth trying?

Thanks muchly,

Well I have no experience with spider mites, thankfully. However I do treat ALL of my plants in veg with this:BayerTreeShrub_%u002525281%2529.jpg
I only spray in veg though, DO NOT use in flower. Preferably spray when they are fairly young so there is no residue left by the time you harvest.

I am not sure about the reflector, it will probably just keep the heat trapped down low instead of allowing it to rise up and away.

I swear by the no pest strips. I just hang one in the room at the start of the grow and replace at the start of the next. Never had a bug problem since. Some people say they are bad i cant tell any difference in the buds, i only spend about 1hr every 1-2days in my room.

Awesome job! I'm thinking of running 4x1000w bare bulbs next grow. What was your final yield if you dont mind me asking..

Well, the all came down @ day 60. I did not seem to get much of a fade to the plants this time.. IDK why, Fed them straight water for three weeks. I got run-off each time, watered every other day. The JackBerry however seems to have a nice yellowing off. I am drying them at the new spot, and I show the progress there at the end of the video.

SB, other questions came to mind:

1. How high is the lite, in general? How far away from top canopy/bottom plants?

2. How much Trimming do you do? If so, when?

3. Do you use any teas or molasses?

edit

4. How about adding CO2 by fermenting sugar water...ever heard of it?

5. Except with your clones, do you do/recommend any foliar misting or foliar feeding?

6. Have you grown any organic? Does coco lend itself to growing organic? If so, how?
7. Finally, how about a top shelf/placement of plants to make use of the light above...?

This is every question that comes to mind. I appreciate your time and consideration. I am getting ready to buy a bale and get started.

Are you starting another thread?

Thanks for the grow thread.

1) The light is about 18" high right now
2) I trim off anything that will not get direct light, over a 5 day period. I start on day 18 or so.
3) No teas or mollases for me, I have thought about using Budswell though. It is a liquid bat guano
4) Yes I have heard of it, I am thinking of using the bags from the grow store though. Basically organic fermentation causing co2 to expell.
5) I would recommend foliar feeding if you have the time. I do not do it myself. Canna Boost would be good here.
6) I Have done one organic grow in soil, but did not like the taste of the final product. Yes you can grow organic in coco, it can be ammended with all of the good stuff I.E. (Bat guano, Worm castings, Azomite, Blood and bone meal... ETC.)
7) I have thought about a shelf system, but I just simply do not have enough room.

I may start another thread, depending on how busy I get.

Thanks for hanging around this grow. I hope to get some dry shots up as soon as its all ready.

18" above the top canopy? This prolly checks with a 1000w lamp, but wud like to confirm. Thanks.

I appreciate the above reply, included answers and added info. I've thoroughly enjoyed your thread and watching the progress.

Please let me know if you start another, either by posting here or via E-mail.

Cheers,

Roger that, Thanks.

Waiting for Smoke Reports and very curious about Total Yield, as well.

Cheers to you SB...Cheers! :weed:

Final yield was 14 oz. about my average in this room. I could do a few things better, like trimming the plants less aggressively. I also need to be bringing in more fresh air. I will be upgrading to a 6" valuline intake on a speed controller. Also growing from seed kills my yield some. Cant wait to grow all from clone, and do one strain at a time..
