So I've basically turned this in to my un-official grow journal it looks like...
Well that's cool with me. I'm just going to continually update this thread with my thoughts and pictures until I've harvested the 4 main girls in my grow room. Less than a month away, I believe.
I suppose I will take this opportunity to throw out my specs:
Strain: White Rhino.
Medium: Hydrton Rocks.
Growing style: DWC!
Nutes: General Hydroponics Flora Micro and Flora Bloom using Lucas Formula.
Additives: Super Thrive during veg, Epsom Salt (magnesium sulfate) during Flower.
pH: 5.3 to 5.6 never above 5.8 or below 5.3
ppm: 800 to 1000 general range.
DWC reservoir size: 15 gallons filled to 12 with nutrient solution.
Feeding schedule: Fresh nutes after 12 gallons of fresh water has been added. usually takes 12 days to 2 weeks since they drink about a gallon of water a day.
Lights: 2- 60W full spectrum for clones; 1 - 400W Metal Halide for veg; 5 - 400W HPS in flower room.
Light Schedule: Clones - 24hr/day; Veg - 24hr/day; Flower - 12/12
Temps: 75 degrees lights on; 60 degrees lights off.
humidity: sitting perfectly in the normal range.
Size of grow rooms: Veg/clone room - 8' x 8'; Flower room - 8' x 16' (840 cubic ft. of space).
How long Veg'd: 2 months (I won't be veg'ing any longer than 5 weeks from now on. This strain has explosive growth, so long veg time is not necessary for a good harvest).
Expected harvest: 3lbs. But I am hoping to get 4lbs. out of these monster plants.
That's all I can think of at the moment. If there are any other specs any one would like to know, just ask and I'll add them.
Also, obviously I don't mind people posting to this thread. In fact, I want to encourage it. Feel free to post all you want!!!
I added pics showing the door way in to my grow room and some ventilation since I haven't shown anything other than plant pics. As you can see, I have flexible ducting running to my rooms. I have fans connected to the ends of those via a 90 degree elbow duct. This ducting pulls fresh air from outside in to my veg and flower rooms. This helps with temp and humidity control. Right now I'm running perfect temps. In on pic you can see a rack with all my nutes and shit on it. If you look to the right you can see my filter. This is a can50 filter. It's rated at 420cfm (pretty large). I didn't want to take any chances on smells leaking out. I have absolutely no problems with smell what so ever. I have a centrifugal fan connected to the other end of the filter inside the flower room. It runs at 400cfm. Perfect.
Take it easy everyone! More pics of the girls coming soon...

PS
at the last second I decided to add a picture of my protege with a couple of the girls. hahahah.
