Hey Roll It Up

For those of you unfamiliar with MPD it is a method were people are getting 3-4 pounds per plant with just 3-6 weeks of veg.

This is done by using high powered hydroponics and surrounding individual plants by up to 4x1000w HPS and in my case 626 watt 6 watt LED grow lights to achieve these yields.

This is my second MPD run and I finally tracked down the genetics I was looking for.

The first pictures are from the clones that were vegged for 3 weeks under a 600 watt 6 watt LED grow light and will soon be put into the flower room to veg. I like the vegetative growth from this led much better than 1000w MH.

The next is my flower room set up is basically a 10x24 room that is still being setup as we speak. It will have 4 plants done every 3 weeks.

The strains in this grow will be 2xPlatinum 98 Bubba(coffee/purple one), Purple Kush, Valley OG, Chem Valley Kush, Black Bubba and Sour Grape (Sour Diesel x Grape Ape) and I still have room for one plant.

My setup is all about natural cooling as I will be using no A/C and I will be using 1 Gallon Frozen Ice to cool my water instead of a chiller and a smaller amount of water in the reservoir to get the maximum cooling from the ice and so I can keep the water at 70 degrees while running the pump intermitantly(?).

To achieve no AC I will only be using 6 x 626w 6W LED Arctic Sun grow lights that produce no heat while only using about 500 actual watts each and 7x 1000w HPS(lower if needed for no AC) max for 8 plants now (12 plants in the 6 weeks) in a 10x20 room.

I will be running the room at night and pumping air in through the windows.

I am keeping my reservoirs in the room to drop the overall room temperature and I will be cooling them with 1 gallon frozen ice containers to keep the temps under 70 degrees.

The Current Culture style requires alot less pumping action because you pump into the first bucket and let the 2" PVC and gravity do all of the work for you.

I am going to have a perpetual harvest going of 3 different growing phases seperate by 3 week time periods and in the picture you see the first two.

This way I have 4 plants done every 3 weeks instead of 12 plants done at once. This will also allow me to run much less light and heat to achieve the same yield.

***This method of placing the 4 plants in the previously unused areas and running 3 cycles increases the grow room efficiancy by 50%.

Using these LEDs hardly adds any heat and increases the end quality and resin and not to mention as the final weight significantly.

The setup consists of 2 sets of 4 plants on 2 seperate 50 gallon resveroirs.

Each set of 4 plants is connected with 2" PVC and water is pumped into one end and drained through each plants container to the end bucket.

Pump to first Plant ------2" PVC-------Plant -----2"-----Plant----------Plant--1" drain to res

Thanks for taking a look.

I will put up more pictures once I get this mofo setup.

Hey all
Still setting up the room.
Right now in the 10x25 room with only 3 1000w HPS on and 2 626w LEDs the temperature is around 81 degrees at a point surrounded by 1000w bulbs and the window closed.

Thank you very much. Yes LEDs and HPS is a mean combo and they are making it so we never have to use AC again.

As for the room I am getting close to being done setting up and I have spent much time patching leaks with silicone calking.

I got the 6 LEDs set up and they are bright enough without any of the 1000w HPS on.

Its incredible how bright these 6W LEDs are even 5' above the plants.

I may bring them down as I normally use them about 18" or so.

I plan to run 3 4 plant systems in this area but I am 3-6 weeks away from adding the next 4 plants into the setup.

3-4 pounds per plant sounds extremely optimistic.
Im not saying it cant be done but il belive it when i see it.
good luck your going to need it.

Very nice man. Any update pics?

Im runnin some same strains as u (pre98,platinum bubba, sfv og). Would love to see some flower pics.

Mine are in their last couple weeks.
