RI Medical Grow - 3 1000w on Light Movers

Hello, I am a long time member of RIU, and have recently pulled together this room with the funding from my last 1000w Flowering room.


Veg Room:
600w MH Bulb in raptor reflector, phantom ballast, 8 inch booster fan 500CFM, and noise scrubber ducting heat out the window above AC.
Greenhouse Environment Controller controlling the light, Dehumidifier, Window AC, and Co2. 9 Papaya's in DWC, 4 Papaya's in Cloner, 10 Jack Herrers in Cloner and 12 Train Wrecks in cloner going strong, and 1 Blue Cheese and 1 Train Wreck mother plants, and 9 Papaya's in DWC.




Flowering Room:
3 1000w Bulbs with Phantom Ballasts in each XX Hood, with 6ft light movers and 12000BTU AC. The lights are hooked up to a 30amp Light Controller. These girls are 5 days into flowering, and they will be spread out to the entire room once they are more adjusted to the light and begin their stretching period in 3-4 days. My ventilation has air sucking from outside the room from an 8 inch inline fan on noise scrubber, through all of the reflectors, and out the room through another 8 inch inline fan, so that the heat from the lights are never exposed to the air inside, and I am not ducting smelly air outside my room.


In this are 9 Train Wrecks, 2 Blue Cheese, 2 Jack Herrer and 2 LSD. Not much pictures at the moment, since its only 5 days in. They look really droopy because the pictures were taken right before lights turned on, but I will take more with the lights on when the leaves are razor blades.. More to come soon. Stay Tuned.

How big is your flower room? Curious if you have done runs with and without the light movers I was wondering the difference of yield. Your Room looks great

Thanks for stopping by. I have done runs with single 1000w bulbs without the movers, but not with the movers on. Its my first time using them. This room with the movers is 18' x 12', and im using 16' x 8' for my actual plant space.

So are you doing your hoods 3 long and then using the movers to cover the 8 foot wide? Sorry If I missed one of the pics I'm on my phone at the moment. Curious to see how this goes! Following along

Yes exactly. None of the pictures are actually the whole room, but you will see it more once the plants are spread out more. There is 4 feet between each 1000w.

Quick update. Day 8 of flowering. I tied down all the girls so their canopy would be much more flat, rather than growing tall. Just took strings, and tied them to the side of the bucket with tape. This is temporary, until after their stretching period. Increases average light per node; similar to scrog. The other two 1000w's are being turned on Monday, after this weekend. I just turned this light up to 100%, from 75%.



Also took a bunch more clones. EZ cloner 30 running at all times.


This might be a better picture to get the size of the room.


The pictures were taken with an iPhone, so they look pretty low quality. Other camera has some problems with the battery.

Even quicker update. Day 10 of flowering. all 15 girls look super happy. Just gave each of them a new bucket with new nutes, 880ppm and 5.6ph.

All clones showing roots.

lookin great dude

Day 12 just started 2 hours ago, and 2 1000w's are functional. I am going to take 10 plants from veg in 20 days and put them under the 3rd 1000w, to begin the perpetual harvest. The cap. light controller is in, and this thing rocks. I used 4 different timers before, and now with this installed, I can sleep much better at night knowing all my lights are plugged into its own 30amp breaker. Much thanks to my electrician friend. Here is the girls at the start of day 12.

looking superb!!!! Subbed up for the ride! =)

Hey kinda jelous of all your extra room... im local, send me pm if your interested in mabe helping fellow rhody with some clones mabe, possibly? Lol

ain't nuthin wrong goin on here!!! beeeeeeautiful. living the dream man, love the light movers, you got it made. Sooo much room.
good man!

what brand movers you got?

Lights just turned on and this is day 19 of flowering. Nothing too exciting, but the buds are starting to form nicely. They are only 10 days into their stretching period, and they have already grown considerable in size. I have to say, this is the best stretching period I have had from my plants so far. Train Wrecks were transplanted from Coco into DWC the same day they went into flowering, so they may have been effected in performance. However, the jacks and blue cheeses are totally making up for them. Here are the pics.

Man Flowa, I would love to see you take your setup to the next level as well. Can you imagine taking that 600w setup and copy/pasting it 5 times somewhere secure? I didn't realize how much I loved growing until I grew more plants. You may find yourself in a similar situation someday.

The 2 that are on right now are my Main flowering lights. The room is split into 2 different cycles, and the third 1000w is about to turn on in 12 days to begin the multi cycle. The 2 main ones are light rail 3.5, and the third one is light rail 4.0 Light rail is the company, great movers. No complaints so far. Very easy to setup once you have a beam finder.

Hey, I would love to help you out, but I am currently working with too many patients and caregivers. I have several people waiting for clones, but once I have everyone satisfied, I will reach out to you. My cloner has been packed 30/30 since day 1, and it takes me 5 days to root, 100% success, so I will get to you soon! As long as you have a medical license that is. Thanks

Funny you say that, I would love to but having the responsibility legal wise where i am 1 is enough i feel great knowing i've helped a few out outside of this site and my input has come greatly appreciated by them That is adequate for me now, I am a very simple guy not into much material things, as long as i got my girl and big tv and stupidly ridiculous stereo then that keeps me plenty happy. I visit a few 'comm growers' round these parts and i feel a big part of the culture. They know me as the dude who cares a little too much.

Now and then i plonk one in the backyard for fun, same strain as what i'll have going indoors but recently they have been to pungent and sticking out the block

Yea, I have not used soil in almost one year now. Never using soil again. Too much carrying and weights and flushing is such a problem.... You can easily move water around from point A to point B with very simple pumps and hoses, but you cant push soil without lifting it. Post a few pics of your clones and I can see if I can help! Ive had my fair share of working with clones, and very rarely lose them.
