I had a quick question for you nick, on an earlier page you said you didn't like the tri pack(opensesame,beastie blooms and cha ching) You said you didn't notice a difference? how many times did you try it out and what dosage did you give them per gallon? i just got some of that myself and that not what i want to hear.

the tri pack works fine i just didnt notice any difference between plants that got the tri pack following the ff feed schedual and straight molasses. im going to be using the tri pack boosters on this grow due to the fact that i have enough left to take me through, but after im done im going to save the $70 or so and use mollases as a boost. dont worry you didnt waste money on a bad product...

Damn nice job

looking tight...Can't wait to see the end result.You are going to have some mighty fine smoke on your hands.

hey how is your lights set up... do you have 1000watt under one reflector and a 400watt just hanging ? other then that this grow is very very clean i love the simplicity...

the 1000w is enclosed and covering a 5x6 area, the 400w is open in a parabolic reflector over a 4x4 area. after this run i think im going to get 2 of these. http://www.laststoplighting.com/904520.html they are huge and and do a great job of throwing an even light canopy.

so are you planning to do 2 1K lights after ?? yeah im sure 2 of those would definetly throw you a way larger yield... keep it up im definetly gonna subscribe to this thread

u're utilization of space is inspiring!!! gogogo

have you had good exp. with mollasses? i have read mixed reviews on using it. and would you recommend it for use in a soil-less medium? looking good. plants looking healthy.

I really want to swap out the 1000 and 400 for 2 600s but i might just keep what i have until now. the reflectors are for sure after this grow is up though

Ill tell you like this, the only bad experince ive had with mollases is when i tried to run it in my ebb and flow system last grow.https://www.rollitup.org/grow-room-design-setup/155842-dual-150w-cooltube-cab.html it made my ph swing really bad when i introduced it. im not exactley sure why but I think it had to do with the mollases gumming up in the medium and blockingsome runoff??? not sure so im going to stay away from it in my hydro for now but im going to keep it up in my soil. mollases in its $3.95 bottle has most if not all the essential nutrients that a $30-$100 dollar bottle of boosts and addatives have. plus its really hard to over due it and can feed up to the last day all the way throught he flush. look online for an article by the 3lb collective on mollases(3 little birds) they are a growing collective out of norcal and due a great job at breaking down mollases benefits and how to use.

heheh... ya i just finished re-reading that long arse article of theirs. my only query is that i have a hard time beleiving that i even have a 'micro-beastie' population going. (lots of hydrogen peroxide as well as having done a malathion flush to kill fungus gnats) so if it just feeds the microbes... and not the plants... it'd prolly be a waste for me.

you were talking about mold and such... a dehumidifier would do wonders... if you can find one that works, i've gone through 3 now (online purchases) and have had trouble with all 3. air circulation also helps tons, and i think an ozone generator helps as well.

"mollases is an awesome organic source of phosporus and potasium. it also it also is sad to pack on bud weight through carbs and up the sugar production in cannabis"

brilliant that piece of straight up genius will go down in my permanent memory holy.....

awesome piece of info nick and a killer setup I'm taking notes simple clean and effective congrats...

Any special kind of molasses or just any old store shelf kind?

good looking out on the mold...im not to concerned yet, my humidity stays at 50% with the temps between 78-88 depending on the time of day. you are correct on the circulation, that is the number 1 defense against mold and mildew is fresh flowing air..

yes..any store bought brand of UNSULFARED or unsulfared blackstrap mollases will do.

What are you doing for air intake and where are you taking that air from?

thanks...I'd like to do a room like this someday.

very simple..see the black holes in the panda film? I have a few of those cut around the perimiter about 12" up on the inside and 24" up on the backside to keep light out and in. behind the side you see is a window that stays cracked so fresh air is coming in all day. very simple very easy..in a month or so I will get a window a/c unit to help with the heat

new picture time......yesterday I pulled all the plants out one at a time and gave them all haircuts..



as you can see I cleared all the under brush and branching to give room for a good airflow under the canopy.

now I have my outdoor and some potential mothers if any of these strains standout for me

hey nick i got a question for ya.
so this is the first grow i have done with a carbon filter. the exhaust and filter are in the back of the flowering room air is exchanged 3 times a minute.. the entrance to the room is sealed wit plastic with zippered openings. a gap of about an inch and a half between the floor and bottom of plastic allow for new air. my basement is cold so the temp below canopy level never reaches above seventy. the plants in the back(12 ice and 12 chronic) seem to not be effected but the front group (kcbrains)where the air enters rooom seems to be stunted... is root temp my problem. the air blasts the pots of the front group. if so what is lowest ideal temp? temp at canopy level is between 75-78 wit lights on. off drops to 55-60....

gratuitous purple kush shot

heres the ladies after their haircuts....in about 4-5 days its going to get thicker than shit in there.....
