2 tents 90 plants. HLG 600 Rspec

Hello rollitup. Ive been growing for a couple years now and would love some input from some of the professionals I see on this site. I'm running a pretty simple organic system. I use Bio Bizz (Bio Bloom, Top-max) nutrients and General organics (Cal Mag+,Bio root, Bio weed. ) Also I add extreme gardening's Mykos and Azos before I transplant. I currently use FFof mixed with about 20% Perlite. My goal is to one day be able to have a living soil garden and not have to worry about liquid nutrients and PH. Let me know what you think

I have 2 tents, 5x5 and a 4x8. I have been using my 5x5 for flowering and my 4x8 for the Mother room/Clones/Veg. In my 5x5 I just purchased a new light from HLG (600 Rspec) 5x5 I have my last batch of "Hello" From CSI:Humboldt (Irene kush x Chem 91) There are 36 clones that are about 53 days into flowering. Ill let them hit 70days then ill cut them down







In my 4x8 tent I currently have 2 T1000xGSC (Humboldt's Most Wanted) Mothers, and 44 clones fully rooted in Veg mode. I just popped 8 new seeds, from Founding fathers Genetics (4) Purple Punch X Obama, (4) Mendo Purple x Obama. I plan on keeping 2 of each and turning them into my new mothers.





This is the Left side of my 4x8. 44 T1000xGSC about 28 days into veg. I have 4 LED lights from Advancedledlights.com I have 2 old 100w led diamond series(from 2010), 1
Diamond Series XML 2.0 150 and 1 ARC Series 2.0 300 LE

I think thats way to many plants unless you have flood tables but it doesnt look like you do. You hand water all those?


Sooo much easier... Yeah its an extra month of veg but.... soooo much easier.

90 plants!?!

I would have 8.... 4 in each and they would fill them up so there was no room for air to flow...

Nice plants but it sounds like a watering nightmare

Really isnt that hard watering all of the plants. I do everything by hand. Around 12Gal each room. Takes me about an hour each room

How many times per week?

I like to harvest every 10 weeks so i'm only able to veg for about 2 months.

What size are those pots?
I can't believe once a week in flower with 1 gallon pots ...sorry

Honestly i would run more plants like you do but ive got a 12 limit. Wouldnt ever have to worry about height. Minimal training. less time vegging. There are definitely benefits.

Ever consider doing multiple plants per pot? Even just 2 per pot seems like it would really simplify things. People have plenty of negative opinions about it but honestly i dont think 99% of them have tried it.



Even just doing 2 in opposite corners of these square pots would at least cut your pot count in half....

Yeah but the plants are so small. Thats 48 gallons of dirt... Like he said, 12 gallons a week. Starting to sound like the mans got a system- 1 quart of water per plant when dry. Keeping humidity up, i could see only watering ever 5-6 days. my 5x5 is drinking 15 gallons every 7 days but they are in fabric pots so way more evaporation. I only flipped to 12/12 a week ago though so we'll see how it goes.

Well "Hello" is a pretty stretchy strain so i topped them extremely early. Average size plant is about 2.5 tall. Each with about 4-5 tops. And for the size of the pots im not sure exactly how big they are. Its the regular black pots. Says (900) on the bottom of them. I think its 1 gal but im not sure.

And yes i really only water them about once every 5-7 days. I use about 12 gals of water and they all drink it up within 24 hours. Really easy system to maintain if you have a little bit of time. I work about 20 hours a week. Most of that is mixing the water for the plants. With this system I dont have to train the plants much. I usually just top them and put a screen in the 5x5. Since this strain gave me a hard time last run i decided to put stalk up. With the new light they didnt seem to stretch as much.

Depending how you mix water something like this might make things easier/faster for you. My bodys not what it used to be so being able to roll the trash can to the sink, fill it, roll it back to the grow room, bubble it for a day, then mix nutes all at once and water; this is making life much easier.

Yes! i do need to invest in something like this. I also would love a pump that connects to a hoes that way I can just use a watering wond.

You can connect that hose to anything. Its just a hose. A simple garden hose repair end would allow you to attach anything you want to it.
