Goal: A modest 5 lbs. per crop, 4 crops per year.
Sensi's G13xHP, Serious's White Russian, and some freebie Durban Poison, White Widow, and Power Skunk (all three G13 Labs)
The Setup:
(4) 1000w HPS in 15' by 13' flowering room, using a 10' by 10' footprint (Two 5' by 10' areas)
(12) Flourescent T12 four foot two-bulb fixtures in the clone/veg room
(2) 6" inline fans for the Cooltubes, with an emphasis on climate control
(4) oscillating fans in the flower room, each corner
(1) UvonAir3000 Ozone Generator on ceiling
(1) DIY carbon filter with thermostat control for venting hot air in flower room
(1) 65 qt. Dehumidifier in flower room, Humidfier in clone/veg room
(1) space heater, portable a.c. if needed come summer-time (hopefully it won't be needed)
(1) Reverse Osmosis 100 gallon a day filtration system to combat ridiculous tap water
(1) 44 gallon rubbermaid trash can for reservoir with 330 gph submersible pump on hose with wand
(99) 3 gallon buckets filled with perlite and a 1" hole two inches from the bottom that is screened over
(12) 4 cu. ft. bags of perlite, each fills ten 3 gal. pots
(8 ) members of fauna (indoor animals including myself), for a combined total of approx. 1200 lbs. of biological CO2 supplementing organisms.
Assorted timers, extension cords, rolls of mylar, bags of Miracle Grow Seed Starting Mix, styrofoam and clear plastic cups for clones, Dip 'N Gro, General Hydroponics Bloom and Micro (Lucas Formula), M.G. for Tomatoes, Rooting Fertilizer, Neem Oil, Fruit Tree Spray (Pyrethrum), Safer Soap, Malathion, insect traps, micro beasties, H2O2, pH meter, buffer solution, pH Up, ppm meter, light meter, moisture meter, thermometer, humidity meter, couple rolls of romex wire, outlets, surge protectors, 100 amp two-pole breaker, insulated ducting, duct pieces, silver tarps, shelving, paint, caulking, rolls of foil tape, chains, balls of steel, low I.Q., wing and a prayer, etc.
Welcome To My Grow !!! I need some RIU Credibility / Rep ... so don't be stingy ye 'ol bastards !!!
Okay, so Picture 1 is just a shot of the seed/clone/veg setup in a 10' by 10'ish room. Primarily two shelves for plants with a total of (12) 4' two bulb flourescent fixtures. In pic you see a humidifier and a sample of how i clone: the blue cup with a clear cup on top for a humidity dome (though i actually use styrofoam on bottom and have to trim the top lip off the clear cup so that it nests inside the styrofoam one. I use M.G. Seed Starting Mix and Dip 'N Grow. Not pictured, but also in this room is, a 44 gal. reservoir up on a third shelf and a 100 gal. per day Reverse Osmosis system. A 330 h.p. submersible pump fills a water hose that goes into the next room.
Picture 2: (Flower Room) Be scared, be very scared. The scariest thing is that all 6 of these Romex strands (indoor romex) travel underground (w/o conduit) and up into the electric box where they are all connected to a dual pole 100 amp breaker (3 per pole). Aside from the power strip attached to each one, there is no smaller breaker between the 100 amp breaker and the equipment. This takes care of all my electric except for a cord that i ran in for the de-humidifier.
Picture 3: (The Money Shot) Four CoolTubes (two 6" and two 8") on 6" insulated ducting, 2 inline GrowBright fans (52 dB), a oscillating fan in 3 of 4 corners. The clones and mothers are on makeshift plywood still in 16 oz. cups over the awaiting Hempy Buckets (3 gal.) The ballasts are located under the house.
Picture 4: Close-up of watering wand on garden hose, takes about 10 minutes to water the 99 buckets.
Picture 5: DIY carbon filter (Top Down: 6" to 8" reducer, 8" inline fan with thermostat attached to side, a 90 degree 'elbow' that is straight and some aluminum screen which holds about a 2" layer of carbon.)
Picture 6: 65 qt. dehumidifier. May also have to get a portable a.c. unit come summertime.
Picture 7: Ozone Generator for primary odor control. Lamp timer allows for up to 20 on/off settings per day, by the minute. Currently running 10 minutes each hour 20 out of 24 hours.
Picture 8: Just a closer up picture of about 50 clones. There are just beginning to recover from a serious pH problem. I quickly accidified the soil trying to use straight 5.6 pH'd nutes (G.H.) in the 16 oz. cups (without raising the pH of the water to around 6.3). They are doing much better now that i have pulled my head out of my ass.
Thanks for looking !!! I'll try to get an update shortly after putting them each in their own bucket. Which they are due for right now. I let the clones go too long without topping, so right now they are all a bunch of sticks... and I like to grow bushes!
.
all i can say is i hope your legal.
good luck
Pic 1: Close-Up day 20 on the first batch of clones.
Pic 2: Some Datura Stramonium seedlings... don't ask me why the hell i'm growing that
apparently some wickedly powerful stuff... as little as 50 seeds has caused persons to trip (unknowingly) for 3 days and about 1/2 the persons that take a fairly strong dose tend to end up in a hospital after police contact 
i've also heard that just smoking the flower or leaf has a much shorter and more controlled effect. and that as little as 2 seeds made into a tea can have a noticeable effect. the stronger doses cause a person to experience things like speaking to someone that isn't actually there... and then when they dissapear suddenly it all seems 100 percent normal and expected... 'cuz you actually believe the hullucinations !!
Pic 3: Day 10 on the 2nd batch of clones. The domes came off all of them today for the second time... and will stay off, unless i see a few struggling. I hit all of them with a 500 ppm foliar spray and gave any of those yellowing a bit .. a tiny shot of the same ppms in the soil. They will probably all survive, but a couple always grow a bit slower and likely won't be used.

theres a little hottie makes her way over time to time,see if she'll let me pic here ,lol,i'll post it,lol.
just make sure to get some weed in the picture... we deffinitely could use more pictures of naked women next to marijuana on this site. That's really what this site is most lacking, i beleive.

choppy choppy time. nice. After about a pound of trimming indica, i find that it just starts to look like lettuce with trichomes on itSHIT IS BANGIN.. IM READY TO CHOP INA COUPLE DAYS, I JUST GOT 4 600W HPS TO ADD TO MY 5 X 1000...IMA GO HARD ON THIS NEXT JOURNAL....
(so you save that part!) heheh. man, say it ain't so with the lights. ha ha. that would be 7400w just in the flower room. or, are some of those for cloning? I'm prolly running about 5960w between vedge and flower rooms just on lights. but i was just looking at how a couple more 600's would really light the biatch up !! maybe next time around. crazy stuff.

(Day 21 for the Big Girls)
The plants are now in an "I" formation (see Pic 1) under the 5 HPS lights, going to hold off on using the MH conversion bulb in the center until the last 2 or 3 weeks... hoping it will boost trichome production by giving them some UVB. Was going to pick up like 4 ReptiGlo 10.0 bulbs for one side of the garden as an experiment, but that'll have to wait due to budget constraints.
I just burned sulphur in the sulphur vaporiser for the first time at day 20... a bit later than i would like, but i wanted to do it at least once before the point of no return. I've never had problems w/powdery mildew, but i don't want to start now. May be that the ozone generator helps me to avoid that as well. It runs 15 minutes out of every hour.
I just stripped off approximately 50 percent of the fan leaves... especially those up top and those blocking light to the smaller buds. Other than that i did a light lolly-popping at the start of flower, just taking the bottom 4 branches or so.
I've noticed that the pure indicas don't clone quite as easily as the crosses. The indicas yellow up more readily. The success rate is about the same, but they seem to have a harder time of it and require more 'babying' as far as being misted, etc.

Pic 3: A Mr. Nice (G13xHashPlant) pure indica at 21 days.

Lookin real nice Gambler. I'd like to grow some white russian at some point, yours look nice!
its just for identification. i also have some cheapie plastic beads from walmart. a bead for each strain and 2 different colored zip ties to differentiate a couple phenotypes w/in the strain.
.
on top of being potent, it looks like its going to be a very good yeilder, so that would be just gravy! and it clones easily.
.
i don't mind shaky hands, i'm not a doctorlooks sweet , ns growing skills, i recognize that one on the rite ,beautiful white wooly hairs of the g13 hp.i'm doin my 3 clones and one mother presently flowering as well , that shit so strong that 2 bong hits get yyou so wasted give ya shaky hands,lololol
the pure indicas deffinitley do their own thing when it comes to flowering. the 'design and setup' thread is one of my favorites... i've spent many a 'blueprint' trying to figure what would be the best way to optimize certain spaces or number of lights, etc. so i'm always happy to throw in my two cents there..

gonna print out secs of your journal and order the extras i need to get this happening..thanx , very complete and explanitory .i'm gonna be lookin at some storage units and find wat i need. now i jus have the 2-600s a250 mh/hps conversion lamp for mothers , for slower veg growth, can do 4 under one lite, and florecent tubes for cloning,heat matt and temp controller, to get that 95% root rate.,,i'll go from there.,as far as weight goes i'm sur i'll get 2 , and think 3 is a potential,better way to say,lol,funny,,i don't mind shaky hands, i'm not a doctor
.
,i dont mind shshshshaky hands either, ibroke down you were rite,haha ,u know me better than i do,, i'm jus and old school pothead that still thinks hes 20,lol.46, but healthier than a 20 yr old.kinda lika fruit stand,flavors flavors,.sorry for postin ,couldnt hep mysef,24 oz., i need more sef control, so stoned rite now,,whizzinator here i come,hahahahahhahahaha.lolol.later bro.Attachments
haha, ya i told myself i'd quit smokin for 2 weeks today (after all, my employer does do random drug testing)... but, come on, it's St. Patricks day for god's sake !!! green is the color of the day
nice attachment, also. i was thinking of vacuum sealing for safety after harvest (reduced smell) but i hate the thought of scrunching up perfectly lovely nugs as well..
