GrowTech's 32 Plant Perpetual Grow - 1000W w/CO2 - with CFL Veg tent for Moms/Clones

Waddup everyone... Welcome to my new 32 plant perpetual harvest grow. I have purchased some new equipment for this 1000W HPS powered grow. Here is the list of materials I am currently working with...

(1) 4x8 flood tray.
(1) 1000W MH/HPS ballast
(1) Light rail to increase light coverage and canopy pennetration
(1) 8,000 BTU A/C Unit
(1) Dark Room tent with my CFL reflector system for vegging mothers and clones
(1) CO2 Regulator ready for flowering to begin
(1) 200CFM Carbon Filter system ready for flowering to begin

I am using mini rockwool cubes for the mother plants, in 5 gallon buckets.

The mother plants are SFV OG, LA Confidential, and NYC Sour Diesel. There are the mothers I liked the best of what was available when I visited the club. The mothers will change throughout the life of this grow, so I will be picking up an Elite account to make the changes to this index thread.

Here are some pictures of what I have going on right now :)


Here is the Secret Jardin Darkroom tent I am using for vegging clones, and mothers. I will be setting up the grow cam in the tent again shortly. That's my rubbermaid quick dryer up top... It's based on the Fuct design.





Here's the 4x8 tray and the 8,000 BTU Air Conditioner just waiting to blow cool air over 32 flowering plants. You can see the 1000W HPS bulb hanging off of the light rail in the distance... still needing to set up a reflector...




Here's the bad boy making it possible to utilize the 1000W system in the most efficient manner across the 4x8 tray. I picked this up for a real good deal off a guy I met on Craigslist... He buys the shit from busted grow ops.





Here are the clones that i'm working with... Top left sour diesel, top right SFV OG, bottom is LA confidential. They are coming along nicely, and will soon be getting clipped so I could rapid root some clones for the flowering tray.


As I am trying to get the best possible production from such a small grow, I will be utilizing CO2 in addition to the light mover. CO2 is going to really help improve flower production throughout my grow cycles, and along-side the light mover, I will have up to 2x the product I would have gotten without the light mover, and the CO2.





Theres a lot of random materials I have on my shelf over here... lots are just accumulations of the past grow, but some are from prior grows and whatnot... I still have a lot of other stuff at my op about 30 miles from here, so anything I am missing in a short drive away.



Well that's enough trouble for today... I will get around to posting updates as things move along... Hopefully soon I will be harvesting 8 plants every two weeks, and will be moving 2 more grow ops into another apartment in a few months...

what co2 valve? the regulator? that's for the grow op, not paintball tanks, they don't work LOL.


i wont be harvesting until the tray is full, and for each group of plants I havest, I will add more to the first end of the tray, to go, and be moved throughout harvest.

Hoooooooly shit thats a lotta ganja

Im not from USA, but outta interest, how hard/easy is it to get a prop215 growing licence over there?

Are you worried about the feds coming in and busting it up?

This is gonna be so awesome to watch ^_________^

Nice planning until now... Wish I had a place available to grow indoors... Its kinda harder than growing outdoors and more expensive too but you have the chance to do exactly what you wish with your plants!

yeah... it was easy to me to get into growing due to a medical condition which led to a prop 215 recommendation for me... growing is absolutely a chore, and you do need to have a plan and whatnot together. it can also be shitty, but i've taken the time, and put the money into insuring this relatively small indoor grow produces large quantities of flowers.

i look forward to y'all seeing what I have up my sleeve.


update the mother plants are vegging out, and are growing very quickly. these are some good ones.. the first batch will probably be sour diesel. :)

looks like you have your self a nice little setup....you may even thing to make your self a staduim with your flowering setup...and just run two lights down the middle with no reflector and have plants growing along the side...( like northern farmer)

my goal isn't to build a stadium, it's to maintain a perpetual grow. i may do a stadium in a garage a bit a ways from here, but I need this perpetual in my apartment to keep me busy, and in good finances.

Just posting an update to my progress from 3 days ago... so I can see for my own eyes how things are going. I will be honest in saying CFLs feel so slow... Hopefully it's just my imagination... of course it has only been 3 days since my last photos were taken...


We start with the sour diesel...





moving on to the SFV OG....
