BooMer's 5000w Medical Hydro Cannabis Laboratory w/ C02 Generator & ScrOG

I am excited to see how full they get with short veg. That new avitar is sick. I have a LED green head light attachment that clips on the bill of my hat, but will be running some green bulbs in my new room.

haha ya i saw that at the hydro store but figured the bulbs would work the same

On days like this we lay to rest a man who gave his life for this country so we can enjoy our daily lives. You may not believe in the war but u better support our troops. I have never witnessed such a huge event as this funeral percession.Transferring the marines coffin to riverside for burial required hundreds of police escorts and they all came to show their support. Hundreds of fellow soldiers, veterans, and civilians came out all over yorba linda to show their support for local yorba linda marine KIA by an IED overseas.
Take a moment today to pay respects to him and his family and all the others gone and still serving. I send my regards to my younger brother Mark who is over in Afghanistan now and wish him home soon. Thank you to all who have served to give us a safe future.

^^RIP^^

looking good buddy!! check out my grow in my sig,i got new pics

sp after discussing things with u guys and others as well as droppin in on a few good scrog grows im thinkin had shit backwards; just cuz im doin hydro the plants can grow faster but doin a true scrog does also require much more veg time. so im trippin thinkin i only need 3weeks of veg to hit 12" or my desired veg weave to scrog. so i appreciate the input guys and gonna have to talk it out more and get dialed. prob gonna play it by ear and see when i feel like ill flip the switch. but also remember i have two seperate grow rooms; the 4x4 veg tray cubes will be transferred to the flower room which is where theyll be placed under the scrog netting. i will still be doin the scrog netting and a 12" heigth but veg taller then that and begin training for horizontal growth. plz let me know more ideas

How high are you trying to have the screen from the top of cube/medium level? Most of what I see around here people are setting the screen anywhere from 8-12 inches. I think the other general rule of thumb I've learned here is to fill the screen approximately 50% and then flip to flower. This way you can continue training through the stretch and then stop training around week 2-3 and let all the buds go vertical at that point. Hopefully someone who's actually done a scrog can enlighten you more, just letting you know what I've found researching to do scrog myself. Best of luck bro.

Lookin good Boomer. RIP^^^^. Its crazy how these brave men and women actually die for my freedom on a daily basis. Peace be with there families and friends. I noticed that you think it might take a week veg from clone to hit 12inch. I doubt it. Most DRO plants grow a inch a day. Most flip to flower at a week give or take a couple days. Cant wait man.

Yup yup. Agreed m8. Back to basics. Find a strain that doest stretch or your fuck'd. Scrogs good with most purples because they are slow growers. I,ve heard of major results from this scrog stuff my friend and Itll work out just fine.

spent hours and hours cutting two diff lengths of 1/4" hosing. 144total. and attaching a barb plug and dripper to each end of the hose. took a lot longer then i thought but works great so im stoked to finally now have up and running hydro auto feed for my vegging clones.

for anyone whos interested in the details;

1/2" hosing for main feed channel hose and attachement to 250gph submersible pump to feed the drippers. then attached to the 1/2" hosing u branch off 1/4" hosing with a barb attachment that punches into the 1/2" tubing. then a dripper at the other end sticks into the rockwool and does a slow drip to feed the roots and make them grow outwards not just down. rockwool soaks up like a sponge.
one thing to remember with running a drip system is u need to maintain even water psi across the feed system so all lengths on the table need to be equal and symetrical. plus it just looks cleaner. the table is on a slight slant and drains out the other end of the table into a bucket.

for getting rid of my waste water ( i will have 3 total waste runnoff totes ) i bought a 300gph submersible pump and hooked up a 25' garden hose so i can drop that pump into any of the three waste rez and run the pump to push water thru the hose and into the bathtub down the hallway. works gtreat for me.


i do need sum advice, now that ive put in the drippers the rockwool white covers dont fit obviously as they were before, but im assuming i just need to cut two more spots for each dripper on the cube to fit in as well? i cant imagine another method lol.

oh and the reason i went with two drippers instead of one; is even watering and in case one gets clogged for any reason even tho i have a prefilter for the drip system.


fyi the flower room drip system will be using a ring drip setup.


heres a shot showing the 1000w lamp has been moved down to 3ft away from the canopy. i left it high for the fresh clones to adjust to high lumens. i will see how they react to the new lighting and prob lower it to about 2ft eventually if needed. the aircooling helps alot conisdering i can keep my hand 6inches away without getting hot.
oh and dont mind the temps, i fukd up a breaker and had my AC and inline fan off while i was working on this shit.







oh and the 40gallon rez has 4 airstones in it. this pic shows the splitter. i have another splitter that does 8 as well. this keeps the water airrated for the feeding cycle. allows better nute uptake and roots breath.

i changed out the rez today and filled up about 30gallons. prob gonna start using the full 40gall tho.
fed with my veg lineup;

R.O. water 5.6 ph 970ppm total
sensi grow a & b
root excel
great white
cannazym
magical
bud candy
superthrive


im watering as needed. the pump is not on a timer. right now its every couple days for 5-10 mins

Im hoping to have time to FIM tomorrow

That is a sweet veg set-up man. Very nice work Boomer!

if u guys havent checked in recently i did a couple updates 1-2 pages ago and need sum input.

but i also need to decide which new strain to get this week. im finding out no one has master bubba cuttings and rumor was sum guy paid $5000 for a cutting of it lol. but either way i need sum new suggestions for a legit kush strain. im lookin for quantity with as much quality as obviously possible. but this is a vendor grow so max yield is neccessary. im research shit sitll but i trust real peeps opinions more. anyways let me know wat u guys think

Looking good Boomer, Keep it up......

you should get some of my ogkgc! HA! so much going on these past days for you. that shot with the 1000w and the transplanted clones is trippy! good luck with the scog, and congrats on dialing in the 6-600w bloom room,

Yo Boom. I got some Honey Moon (double purple) or some LA Confidential (both of which looks ridiculously healthy) If your interested. Bout to throw them in flower next week, and been looking for a way to keep the cutting going... I dunno just throwing it out there.

i appreciate it guys i found the master bubba kush cuttings but idk if theyll still be there tomorrow since its kind of a drive. there was only 5 total so hope its there

Takes me three grows until I get a strain dialed in. Patience pays off here.
Its like putting all that little hose together. By the way, did you heat the hose with a lighter to make it more flexible? that works good.
