the grow room is 8ft x 4ft, there is 1 x 60l tank with 4 x 1 1/2ft x 3 1/2ft trays, 2 x 750l/hr pumps....

in each try will be 15 rooted cuttings ( white rhyno ) i only have enough cuttings to fill one side rite now, they are all rooted just bin transplanted into 4" cubes and are being fed with half str nuts....

there is 2 x 600w hps lights in the room with 2 fans pullin in and 2 pullin out with 4 oscilating fans blowin itall around....there is a ozone genrater outside the room rite next to where it is being extracted....

the room temp when both lights are on and all fans doing there part is 83*f the water in the tank is kept at 80*f

im wanting to start some new mothers off but not sure what strain to get, all info usefull but im after a fast flowering but with a decent yeild....

il post pics next week with the room setup and plants....but like i sed half the room is still empty....

sounds great.
i would do 6 grows of 10 plants all 1 or 2 week apart.
so you have a harvest every 1 to 2 weeks.
and if anything goes wrong, you would only loose 10 plants at a time.
and every grow you do, you can learn from it and put what you have learned into the next grow you do 1 to 2 weeks later..

i would get a couple of mothers and a vegg room and put 10 plants into flower every 2 weeks.
its great when you get a harvest every 2 weeks.

have you ever grown before?.

To separate the crop you would of course require more reservoir tanks and pumps to account for differing nutrient requirements...:peace:

I think your not going to have enough space. 8 x 4 is 32 sq ft and 60 plants thats less then 1/2 sp ft per plant. the plants need more space to get a better production. I used to use a NFT system and for a 8 x 4 area i wouldn't do more then 35 plants. Sounds like your using a ebb and flow not a NFT system. NFT has constant water running passed the roots and sounds like your will be flooding and draining. good luck

its nft m8ty, iv been growing for past 2 years, i dont have much hight available so im doing 60 smaller plants to fill the room fast, 7 days for clones to root, 10 days veg, then lites will be switched.... feed with ghe nutrients with rox at day 14 - 28, then dr hornby big bud from day 28 - 49, then ripen for last week b4 harvest..... iv just been out and orded a c02 tank and regulater system witch will be added to keep the ppm of c02 100ppm above the nutrients....e.g. 1400ppm in tank 1500ppm c02 in the room...digi cam shud arrive in morn so will post pics either tomoz or day after....

for sure.. sounds prime dude, make sure you keep the veg time short for em then since your keeping em so small.. i'd prolly top em when they're young too.. maybe even twice... thats what i did when i had a SOG and it seems like this is pretty similar.. best of luck.. oh and keep a close eye on those nutes man, I always say if it aint broke don't fix it,, but perfect water temp is 68.8 typically.. otherwise it can grow pathogens and what not.. good luck bro, solid set up :bigjoint:

oh and i forgot, about the vegging.. my buddy keeps his baby's real real short cause he has about 4 per square foot in a SOG setup.. anyways, you can pop the clones straight into the cubes with no veg time to make things quicker.. just give em enough time in the starter cubes to make a solid root structure.. should take about 10 to 14 days if your good at it.. and throw em straight under 12/12 (this is of course if your doing RW) I guess I kinda jumped the gun and just assumed you werebongsmilie.. anyways good luck again
